Never interrupt your enemy when he is committing serial suicide (in reverse American gore-style, when the serial killer always resurrects). In the case of the EU kakistocracy, serial self-destruction is always a given, and always skyrocketing.

[A] lot of people across the global majority are asking the extremely serious question: why the BRICS, and especially why Russia and China, are not doing more than what they’re doing on behalf of Palestine and to defend Palestine. This is an extremely serious question and it’s not being addressed by Russia and China. We have to be straightforward about that, right? The only ones who are actually doing something, once again, are the Houthis in Yemen. Heroes of the whole planet.

Statement on the Resistance News Network
In the 24 hours leading up to the killing of two zionist diplomats late last night, over 90 Palestinians ascended to martyrdom in the #Gaza Strip.
Every day, the US-backed zionist occupation carries out war crimes and massacres against the Palestinian people. It has repeatedly expressed its intention to perpetrate a genocide against Palestinians, and continues to do so with little repercussion from the rest of the world.

Chinese military hardware stole the show, French ones lost their stock, India’s clout took hits, and Pakistanis crowed. Yet, ultimately, the brief, hot India–Pakistan war was a victory only for the Global North’s divide-and-rule project for the Global South.

In early May, the security cabinet of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met and agreed that Israel would “capture” Gaza and remove its Palestinian population “to protect it.”
To achieve this policy of annexation of Gaza, the Israelis tightened their siege by preventing the entry of food, water, electricity and other humanitarian aid (they had already enforced a blockade of aid since March 2).

16,500+ children dead is not collateral damage. This is genocide.

Foxglove does a lot of work in the UK. We’re concerned about the direction of government tech policy. Keir Starmer’s team seem to be getting far too cosy with Big Tech companies, and aren’t taking enough care to ensure new technology works, is safe, and is in the public interest.
This week we’ve written about a couple of worrying recent developments…
The UK Home Office is boasting about a new “Chat-GPT-style software” trialled for use in asylum decisions – despite evidence that it’s dangerously flawed.

Last week, headlines lit up with a staggering development: Microsoft locked the world’s top war crimes prosecutor out of his email. Karim Khan, chief of the International Criminal Court (ICC), had dared to go after Israeli officials for war crimes and was instantly digitally silenced. His accounts were frozen. His name smeared. His power stripped.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
At the start of 2025, Sudan registered an alarming debt-to-GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ratio of 252%. This means that the country’s total public debt is 2.5 times the size of its entire annual economic output. It is not hard to understand why Sudan is in such dire straits: as we outlined in last week’s newsletter, the country has been engulfed in a conflict for decades, which has severely disrupted any possibility of economic growth and financial stability. Yet, in a way, Sudan – one of the richest countries in terms of resources but poorest in terms of household income and wealth – is also representative of what has been happening on the African continent. As of 2022, the average debt-to-GDP ratio in Sub-Saharan countries was 60%, having doubled from 30% in 2013. This rise in indebtedness is shocking.
