US falters over Yemen war, while Britain stops its ears

While the US looks to hide its defeat behind talk of peace and principles, Britain continues blatantly to prioritise the interests of its arms manufacturers. Lalkar writers Yemeni army troopers and allied resistance fighters launched a missile attack on an airbase in Saudi Arabia's southwestern region of Asir in February. It is strikes such as this one on Saudi military and oil infrastructure that have convinced many that the Yemeni resistance forces are winning, despite all the heavy weaponry and starvation tactics that have been deployed against them. The question now for the imperialists is: how to end the war without admitting defeat? https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1032349033&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&a...

Imperialism and its sidekicks sink in a swamp of their own making in Yemen

The indomitable spirit of the Yemeni resistance is further proof that the imperialists and their proxies are incapable of winning a single aggressive war. Lalkar writers The Saudis and their backers are gradually being dragged into acknowledging the inevitability of their defeat in Yemen, as the popular forces of national resistance grow stronger and bolder by the day, despite the horrors inflicted on their people. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1081344199&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true So long as the US believed that a warmongering alliance led by Saudi Arabia would swiftly prevail against the popular uprising in Yemen, simultaneously shoring up the USA‘s regional hegem...

Saudis continue to violate the truce in Yemen

Despite ceasefire agreements, Saudi military attacks are ongoing, as is the brutal blockade of Yemeni ports, leaving millions at risk of starvation. Lalkar writers The lives of Yemen’s children are just so much collateral damage as far as the Saudi aggressors and their western imperialist backers are concerned. All that matters to them is that Yemen’s territory and resources should remain under their control. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1310332132&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true Our regular readers will be more than aware of the long and inhuman suffering that has been brought down on the people of Yemen since March 2015. That was when a Saudi-led coalition of imperialism’s...

Yemen v Ukraine: What makes a war newsworthy?

Why are the crocodile tears of our leaders and their presstitutes reserved for some victims of war and denied to others? Proletarian writers The victims of the Yemen war number many millions and their condition is appalling, yet their plight is largely ignored by western news media, as is the criminality of the war being waged against them and the ultimate culpability of US and British imperialism for their suffering. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1274910112&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true With the Saudi/UAE war of aggression against Yemen now having reached its seventh year, it has been revealed that the Saudi/UAE coalition air force has dropped at least three mill...

‘Hurrah for the Azov!’ – The curious case of BBC whitewashing Nazism in Ukraine

None of the glib refutations of nazism in Ukraine stand up to scrutiny, yet western media continue to repeat them while closing down those who expose their lies. Steve Sweeney The BBC is an intrinsic part of the western corporate media lie machine and of the British state. On behalf of our rulers it is waging a relentless psychological war against the people who are forced to pay for its existence. Reproduced from Al Mayadeen, with thanks. ***** Neo-nazis across the world glorify Azov, and whitewashing them in the way the BBC and other mainstream media organisations have should not be taken lightly. On 15 January 1934, as Europe stood on the precipice of war, British newspaper the Daily Mail printed perhaps its most infamous headline when it declared: “Hur...

Disappearing context: West created and backed Ukrainian fascists for 85 years

The Azov battalion did not appear out of nowhere; fascism has been the imperialist tool of choice in Ukraine since the 1930s. Joti Brar The cult of Stepan Bandera was kept alive by the CIA and MI6-cponsored Ukrainian diaspora (centred mainly in the USA, Canada and Britain) after WW2 and reintroduced to the formerly socialist republic after the fall of the Soviet Union. For those trying to understand the situation in Ukraine, one particularly important piece of context worthy of closer examination is the role of Nazis in the west’s policy in the country for 85 years. While imperialist politicians and media are keen to downplay the existence and role of fascists in the country, routinely whitewashing them or disappearing them from view, it has become abu...

Western presstitutes rediscover international law after 77 years

Will this admission turn out to have been a massive own goal? Proletarian writers This picture was posted on Twitter by Pepe Escobar with the following caption: ‘NATOstan: she’s looking at YOU. A Roma untermensch packaged by Ukrainian “democracy”.’ On 24 March this year, the Financial Times editorial board printed an exceptionally revealing article headlined ‘Holding Russia to account for war crimes’. Revealing because it gave away something that has been missing from the imperialists’ discussion of international affairs for (at least) the entirety of the post-cold war period – the key information that the Nuremberg tribunals which followed the second world war set legal precedents that were globally accepted and which constitute, along with the Geneva Conv...

Selling Ukraine to the highest bidder

Alongside the wanton sacrifice of its military-aged men, the total immiseration of Ukraine’s entire population by western imperialism continues apace. Proletarian writers While propelling thousands upon thousands of Ukrainian men into the inferno of their proxy war against Russia, the imperialists are busy plundering the country’s economy and resources, subjecting the people to further rounds of ‘economic shock therapy’ in the interests of maximum profit for monopoly capital. Zelensky’s virtual appearance at the New York Stock Exchange on 6 September was aimed at pitching his new PR-spun #AdvantageUkraine campaign to investors – a fire-sale of the country’s remaining assets backed up by the accelerated gutting of what remain of workers’ rights. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?ur...

Czech people take to the streets in record numbers against Nato’s war in Ukraine

Is this huge demonstration in Prague a sign of things to come across the European Union? Proletarian writers The largest and most militant demonstration seen in Prague since 1989 took to the streets on 3 September, as hundreds of thousands of Czechs demanded an end to arms for Ukraine and a resumption of trade with Russia, shaking the already vulnerable comprador regime to its foundations. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1352079415&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true On Saturday 3 September, as many as 160,000 protesters (more than double the 70,000 admitted by imperialist media) came out onto the streets in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. Their demands were simple: end Czech invo...

Kharkov and Mobilisation: the Russian coalition persists, unhindered

The advance of Ukraine’s armed forces into territory from which Russian forces had already withdrawn, is not the ‘turning point’ western media are claiming. Jacques Baud The excerpt above shows detail from the Rand Corporation’s document on destabilising Russia. But things are not going the way the strategists planned. Whilst the corporate media applauds Ukraine for its latest territorial advances, the reality is that Russia’s partial mobilisation is no desperate scramble to hold back the apparently amassing Ukrainian armed forces, but simply a part of her preparation for the potential expansion of the country as referenda in four Ukrainian regions look set to expand the Russian Federation’s borders by up to 1,000km. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.c...
