"China, America, and the Economic Crisis: Minqi Li Interviewed by Paul Jay"
The point is that China right now is still depending on the export markets, depending on export to the US. So, that gives the US a little bit of leverage. But on the other hand, the US cannot expect to hold that leverage forever, because the US will not be able to return to the… Continue reading

The Anglo-US Drive into Eurasia and the Demonization of Russia By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya
As tensions mount between the U.S. and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on one side and Moscow and its allies on another, the history of the Second World War is being re-framed to demonize Russia, the legal successor state and largest former constituent republic (pars pro toto) of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics… Continue reading

Showdown with Russia and China: U.S. Advances First Strike Global Missile Shield System By Rick Rozoff
A change in the American White House, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s and the mounting costs in both dollars and lives of the war in Afghanistan have not slowed down the U.S.’s plans for military domination of the planet and in outer space; nor have they lessened the threat… Continue reading

Future of Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces In the Wake of Obama's Moscow Visit By General Leonid Ivashov
As the US Administration is fully aware of the state of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces and the outlook for them, its consent to the proposed parameters of the arms reduction was not hard to extract.

China, Copper, the Democratic Republic of Congo—and the IMF
In a classic example of the witless stenography that passes for Western reporting on Asian and African issues, the actual story – IMF threatens to withhold debt relief unless the Chinese deal is renegotiated – got a bit of a twist – as in Voice of America’s ‘Chinese Mineral Deal Blocking Congo’s IMF Debt Relief.’ Continue reading

Beijing cautions US over Iran By M K Bhadrakumar
Beijing fears a confrontation looming and counsels Obama to keep the pledge in his Cairo speech not to repeat such errors in the US’s Middle East policy as the overthrow of the elected government of Mohammed Mosaddeq in Iran in 1953.

West Plots To Supplant United Nations With Global NATO by Rick Rozoff
The first indication that the United Nations was marked for marginalization, selective application (and exploitation) or even de facto dissolution, however, occurred three years earlier in 1996 when the United States single-handedly browbeat the other fourteen then members of the Security Council to depose Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali and replace him with Kofi Annan, who… Continue reading

Matthew Thomas Clement, “Energy (and Empire) in World History”
Nations like England and the United States, which have consumed and continue to consume vast quantities of energy, are not considered important factors in the changing relationship between human society and energy.

Luis Bilbao: The grand duel — At the Fifth Summit of the Americas, a crucial battle is to be waged By Luis Bilbao
The time has arrived: to align with the North to engage in the futile business of saving capitalism, or define positions and accelerate towards South American unity, the complementary solidarity of the region’s economies and authentic sovereignty towards the good life for all.

Just weeks after President George W.
