Will Ukraine Become Another Ceaseless War?

BY PATRICK COCKBURN Photo by Nick Tsybenko I have reported on at least a dozen wars in the Middle East and North Africa in the last 30 or more years and they have several features in common.

Refugees who are at first warmly accepted as victims of tyranny may outstay their welcome and become resented and even hated. This is what happened to the five million Syrians who fled to Turkey and one million to Lebanon after 2011. The wars in Somalia and Yemen are not only endless, but are escalating. Will the Ukraine conflict become another of ...

“Military Intervention Will Birth Military Occupation,” Haitian Activist Warns

The previous military occupations of Haiti “all brought disease, hunger, poverty and destruction,” says David Oxygène.By Cécile Accilien ,  TRUTHOUT Demonstrators from different cities, holding banners and placards, protest to demand the removal of Prime Minister Ariel Henry in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on September 7, 2022. The Biden administration is again pushing for military intervention in Haiti, in part due to the fear of Haitian immigrants coming to the United States, but also as a result of an imperialist mindset that is focused on physically controlling Haiti. The U.S. mainstream media constantly present Haiti as a country that is collapsing without presenting geopolitical, colonial and structural contexts regarding this collapse. Since de facto Prime Minister ...
