Aggression Made Easy

BY DAVID BARSAMIAN – NORMAN SOLOMON The Apotheosis of War, 1872 – Vasily Vereshchagin [The following is excerpted and adapted from David Barsamian’s recent interview with Norman Solomon at AlternativeRadio.org.] David Barsamian: American Justice Robert Jackson was the chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. He made an opening statement to the Tribunal on November 21, 1945, because there was some concern at the time that it would be an example of victor’s justice. He said this: “If certain acts of violation of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them, and we are not prepared to lay down the rule of criminal conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against us.” Norman Solomon:&nbs...

A Veteran for Peace

BY PAUL ATWOOD Photograph Source: Fibonacci Blue – CC BY 2.0 When was the last time a foreign army invaded the United States? When was the last time our “national security’ was really at stake? Was it Mexico in 1846? Spain in 1898? Even Germany in 1940 could not cross 30 miles of English Channel. By what means could it cross the Atlantic Ocean to fall upon Boston? I was taught as a schoolchild that the United States had gone to war against Hitler and Japan for the sake of freedom and democracy and in the case of Germany to save the Jews. But these were falsehoods as were the fabrications that brought us the Korean War, Vietnam and the so-called war on terror that really provided pretext for war in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, I ask you, what are the real reasons America goe...

Free Palestine; end zionism!

No matter what weapons have been used against them, the Palestinians have resisted attempts to wipe them out for 75 years, and will continue to do so. Party leaflet Subscribe to our channel It is zionism, not the Palestinians, that is fated to disappear from the face of the Earth. Download this leaflet as a pdf. ***** Today we mark the 75th anniversary of the Nakba (Disaster), when the Palestinian people were ethnically cleansed from their own homeland by zionist gangs in 1948. Hundreds of Palestinian villages were systematically wiped out and their inhabitants either murdered or expelled from their land to live as penniless refugees. All this in order to establish the so-called state of Israel, a racist ...

EU quietly rowing back on self-defeating sanctions against Russia

In the face of the abject failure of their economic war, EU leaders are trying to salvage what they can without admitting to a U-turn. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel Caught out by the boomerang effect of its own sanctions war, the EU has had to ‘clarify’ its position with regard to Russian fertilisers and food – claiming (falsely) that it never meant for these to be included in its brutal sanctions against the Russian economy. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1351246210&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true As Russia’s special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine reaches its six-month mark, so does Russia’s status as the most heavily sanctioned&nbs...

Closure of Nord Stream 1: another own goal for Europe

It is not Russians but European who are facing hunger and blackouts as a result of the EU’s failed sanctions war. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel The imperialists hoped by their vicious sanctions regime to bring the Russian economy to its knees and thus spur Russia’s people (via unemployment and hunger) to demand the ousting of their president. As their economic war boomerangs spectacularly, it now looks far more likely that it is European leaders who will be facing angry mobs this winter. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1340935978&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true On 31 August, Russia announced the closure of its Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline to Europe&nb...

Germany is under pressure. Something’s got to give

As the economic crisis deepens and political panic spreads, the future of a unified European imperialist block is looking ever more shaky. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel The economic crisis in Europe, exacerbated and accelerated by self-defeating sanctions against the cheap Russian energy which has fuelled the continent’s industry for decades, threatens to destroy the much-vaunted ‘unity’ of the EU, as each member struggles for its own survival. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1369387279&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true The combination of overproduction crisis and soaring fuel prices is putting the German economy under such intolerable pressure t...

Price cap stunt will not stop Russian oil trade

Price cap stunt will not stop Russian oil trade

But it will deepen and expand the fissures within the imperialist camp itself, as the demise of the west accelerates. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our channel The imperiailists’ sanctions war is doing far more harm to western Europe than to Russia, yet its protagonists continue to dig deeper, holding onto the hope of an imminent turn in the tide. Their plan to reverse their declining hegemony is, instead, speeding up the process. Imperialism is in a double bind. It wants to bankrupt the Russian economy, depriving Russia of the oil revenues that were its mainstay and (it hopes) making it harder for Russia to repulse Nato aggression. Yet at the same time it also wants to keep enough Russian oil flowing to feed western industrial production...

Venezuela: Blockade and plunder

How the imperialists use theft and sanctions to try to force regime change in countries that defy their diktat. Lorena Gimene Subscribe to our channel The USA has for years been applying the most cruel and unusual collective punishment against the people of Venezuela, hoping to bring about economic collapse and regime change by starving the people and making their lives unliveable. This heinous crime is totally unreported in western media, which persistently attribute Venezuela’s economic difficulties are the result of governmental ‘mismangement’. This report by human rights organisation Sures, detailing the brutal sanctions regime being imposed against the Venezuelan people by the USA and its allies, is reproduced in sightly edited form with thanks.

The Power of Nonviolence: Myths and Reality

BY HALEY MORROW A commonly held myth is that war concludes well with peace. In fact, conflict research shows that the losing side may accept defeat in a public-facing manner, only to fester and plot to get revenge later. Violence and war generally lead to further violence and war. Although it may lead to short-term “peace,” violent conflict rarely works to build sustained peace. The exceptions, writes Princeton professor Jean Arnault, are peace treaties that are not retributive or humiliating: One approach, perhaps best described as “constitutive,” views the substance of the peace agreement as key to the overall process, which will reflect its strengths and weaknesses, virtues and shortcomings. A “good” agreement will result in durable peace; a “bad” agreement w...
