Member state calls on NATO to abandon key agreement with Russia

Troops should be deployed across the bloc as countries see fit, Lithuanian president Nauseda believes FILE PHOTO: Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda visits Ukraine ©  STR / NurPhoto via Getty Images NATO states should be less concerned about Russia’s nuclear capability and station troops near its border on a permanent rather than rotational basis, the president of Lithuania has argued, as his nation hosts a summit of the US-led military bloc. “With Russia taking active steps to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus… we should finally pronounce this NATO-Russia Founding Act dead,” Gitanas Nauseda told The Times newspaper. He was referring to the 1997 treaty between the alliance and Russia, which includes a ban on deploying permanent military conti...

FBI colluded with Ukraine in social media crackdown

The bureau failed to properly vet information provided by Kiev, the US House Judiciary Committee says A crest of the Federal Bureau of Investigation inside the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building in Washington, DC. ©  AFP / Mandel Ngan The FBI cooperated with Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) to clamp down on social media accounts disseminating alleged “Russian disinformation,” but ended up flagging pages run by the US State Department and American journalists, a report by the House Judiciary Committee has revealed.  Released on Monday, the report accused the FBI of not properly vetting lists of accounts provided to it by the SBU before sending them to the likes of Meta, Google, and Twitter. As a result, the two agencies “flagged for social media...

West blamed for Ukraine’s counteroffensive shortcomings

Efforts to ramp up military production have been undermined by “national protectionism, misjudgment, and indecisiveness,” a report has concluded FILE PHOTO: Artillery shells stockpiled at a French workshop in Tarbes ©  Lionel BONAVENTURE / AFP Kiev hasn’t received enough military assistance from the West to succeed in its counteroffensive against Russia, a joint investigation led by a Ukrainian news outlet has claimed. Some EU member states acted too slowly and selfishly to produce and ship enough supplies, the probe, which was funded by Brussels, has found. The scathing report, released this week by several media organizations, including the Western-backed outlet the Kyiv Independent, claimed that Ukraine did not have the means to meet “the...

US recession not ‘off the table’

An economic downturn cannot be ruled out yet, Janet Yellen has warned US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen ©  Brendan Smialowski / AFP US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the economy is still at risk of a recession, while expressing concern over persistently high inflation. In an interview with the CBS show Face the Nation over the weekend, she said it's “appropriate and normal” for growth to be moderate. When asked about a potential recession following the June jobs report, which was the weakest since December 2020 and showed that the US economy was adding fewer jobs than in previous months, Yellen said: “It's not completely off the table.” The US economy added 209,000 jobs in June, data released by the Labor Department last w...

Security chief offers explanation for lack of NATO invitation to Ukraine

The West looks at Ukraine through Russian eyes, Aleksey Danilov claims Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Aleksey Danilov ©  AFP / Sergey Supinsky Kiev still hasn’t been invited to join NATO because Western leaders learned their history via Russian textbooks, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Aleksey Danilov has suggested. “The thing is that the textbooks used by students, who graduate from respected Western universities, including American, British ones, were written by Russians,” Danilov said during a TV interview on Monday. Those textbooks “were written based on the version of history that was written in Russia,” he added. This is a “big problem” for Kiev because the present-day leaders of...

Donald Trump Wants to Deport US Marxists “That Grew Up Here”

BY PAUL STREET Image by Hennie Stander. Probably the stupidest and creepiest thing I’ve run across in all my years as a radical US American socialist and communist is the Trumpenleft. By the Trumpenleft I mean among other things all the very disproportionately white and male left-identified so-called socialists who accused me and other anti-fascist radicals of supposed hysterical Trump Derangement Syndrome and who mocked and otherwise attacked us for making the elementary observation that Donald Trump is a fascist – and who idiotically accused us of being in cahoots with the dismal, dollar-drenched Democrats for having the basic historical and social- and political-scientific integrity to identify and call out Trump and Trumpism for what they are: fascist. I’ve dedicated...

Nations of the 27-state bloc “don’t want to see” Ankara as a member, Russia has warned FILE PHOTO: The flags of the EU and member states in front of the European Parliament in Brussels ©  FrankyDeMeyer / Getty Images Russia has no illusions about Türkiye’s commitments to NATO but would urge Ankara to look realistically about its chances of joining the EU, Moscow has said. The Turkish president had previously linked Sweden’s accession to the US-led military bloc with his own nation’s long-standing wish to become part of the European community. Russia realizes that Türkiye has commitments to NATO, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Tuesday. “We never put on rose-tinted glasses in that regard,” he said. But neither should Ankara wear the...

India set to replace US as world’s second-largest economy – Goldman Sachs

The rise will be driven by technology, capital investment and demographics, a report has said © Getty Images / Adrian Pope India will surpass the US to become the world’s second-largest economy by 2075, Goldman Sachs has predicted, citing capital investment and favorable demographics. The country is currently the world’s fifth-largest economy, behind the US, China, Japan and Germany. In an article published last week, the investment bank’s India economist, Santanu Sengupta, projected that the country’s GDP would reach $52.5 trillion, trailing only China at $57 trillion. On top of a burgeoning population, India’s growth is expected to be driven by progress in innovation and technology, higher capital investment, and rising worker productivity, according to Goldman...
