Europe Wants Soldiers, Not Solutions: Germany’s Draft and the Return of the War Economy
CNN dresses Germany’s new conscription regime as common sense, but its language reveals an empire preparing its young for war. Beneath the talking points lies a material crisis: collapsing legitimacy, labor shortages, and NATO’s hunger for bodies. Germany’s rearmament only makes sense when placed within Europe’s deeper imperial recalibration toward austerity and militarized governance. The… Continue reading

WE ARE ENTERING THE FOOTHILLS OF WORLD WAR THREE
This article was delayed until such time that the fog of war, generated by the surprise Zionist attack on Iran, began to lift. Only then could a preliminary determination of the balance of forces be made. I assumed wrongly that an attack while negotiations were pending would not occur as the collateral damage to Trump’s… Continue reading

Collapsing Empire: The Delusion of US Air Power
Ever since March 15th, Washington has barraged Sanaa from the sky, killing and injuring countless innocent civilians while destroying vital infrastructure. For example, on April 2nd, US jets targeted a reservoir in western Yemen, cutting off access to water for over 50,000 people.

It’s Official: British Military Facing Extinction
In September 2024, Britain’s House of Lords International Relations and Defence Committee published a little-noticed report, Ukraine: a wake-up call. Based on extensive consultations with military veterans and think tank apparatchiks, it amply exposed London’s “decline as a full-spectrum military power,” and how the country’s fantastical “commitment to retaining global influence” is based on “military… Continue reading

The fragility of nuclear deterrence
History will not be kind to those who play with the future of humanity for the sake of their own political vanity. The danger of nuclear escalation is real.
