The madness of King Trump
At the opening of the 2026 White House Easter Egg Roll, US President Donald Trump justified the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, claiming it “could end very quickly” if Tehran “do[es] what they have to do,” while alleging that Washington has already achieved a “total regime change.” Continue reading

War in the hands of the algorithm
There was a time when wars were decided on paper maps, with officers hunched over a table, radio calls, and hours—sometimes days—spent verifying information before pressing a button. Today, however, war is beginning to resemble a screen: satellite images, drone videos, sensors, coordinates, and an artificial intelligence that cross-references all that data in real time.… Continue reading

The Markets Will Wake Up From The Phoney War
The time between Germany’s invasion of Poland (September 1939) and the invasion of France (May 1940) was called the “phoney war” as France and the UK decided not to seriously attack Germany’s western border. During this time, the French and British were putting together a force to help the Finnish in their war with the… Continue reading

War, profit, and the dollar’s retreat
Washington’s war against Iran, launched Feb. 28 with the U.S.–Israeli assault known as Operation Epic Fury, began with a burst of spending. In the first 100 hours alone the Pentagon burned through an estimated $3.7 billion in missiles, air operations and interceptor systems, most of it not previously budgeted. Continue reading

Munich War Council and the escalation of imperialist rivalry
The 62nd Munich Security Conference was not a diplomatic gathering. It was a war council — a gathering of the general staff of world imperialism, assembled not to resolve conflicts but to coordinate the next phase of aggression on a global scale. Continue reading

Europe’s Generals and Europe’s People: War Readiness as a Ruling-Class Project
Military elites recast war as an unavoidable condition rather than a political choice. Selective facts and strategic silences transform militarization into common sense. “Preparedness” emerges as a method of social discipline under imperial strain. Working people confront a system demanding sacrifice while offering no future. Continue reading

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

The Day of Victory reminds the West of a shame it wants to forget
It is not just ingratitude… If only it were! The actual causes of the disdain, misunderstanding, rejection, and repugnance displayed by the political elites of the U.S. and the EU toward the commemorations of Victory Day—the day the USSR put an end to one of the most heinous regimes born from the depths of human… 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. Three days later, Donald Trump gloatingly posted a horrific video on social… Continue reading

From welfare to warfare: military Keynesianism
Warmongering has reached fever pitch in Europe. It all started with the US under Trump deciding that paying for the military ‘protection’ of European capitals from potential enemies was not worth it. Trump wants to stop the US paying for the bulk of the financing of NATO and providing its military might and he wants… Continue reading

From ‘No More Wars’ to Bombing Yemen: Trump’s Broken Peace Pledge
President Trump, our ersatz “anti-war candidate,” has chosen to escalate U.S. airstrikes in Yemen, bombing some of the poorest people on Earth while squandering vast sums on obscenely expensive naval air operations. Such is America’s way, it seems. Rather than leveraging diplomatic and economic pressure to compel Israel to facilitate aid access—thereby halting Houthi retaliation… Continue reading
