I couldn’t resist publishing the backlog of Moon of Alabama’s take on the Empire’s war on the Global South. It complements, to some degree, MK Bhadrakumar’s excellent analysis reproduced below. B

Russia’s newest ICBM Sarmat equipped with maneuvering warheads

From my hospital window somewhere in London, around 7am.

I’m planning at least one piece on the neoliberal, authoriatarian transformation of the National Health Service [sic], the NHS. Oh, and it wasn’t some shitty chest infection but once again, my heart.

I’m not dying, well not immediately anyway but I have to take it real easy for awhile, which means I’ll continue the updating but at nothing like the usual rate. My daily Ukraine News Links will have to be suspended for awhile unfortunately but I will publish stuff that I think is important, for example, MK Bhadrakumar’s excellent analysis that essentially presents the view from the Global South (I hope he doesn’t disagree with that!).

That’s all for now folks…
