Russia and the DPRK’s military cooperation is anti-imperialism in action

Posted by: John Phoenix After months of gnashing of teeth and screaming by the imperialist press over mere rumours of DPRK military involvement in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the governments of the DRPK and Russia have calmly confirmed that indeed, north Korean troops have been operating in the Kursk region in Russia. The first  stories breaking the ‘news’ that the two countries that had signed an agreement to defend each other had started, well, defending each other appeared towards the end of December of last year (‘North Korean soldier captured in Ukraine dies, reports say’, BBC online, 27 December 2024) with claims that Ukrainian forces had captured and injured ‘a north Korean soldier’. Kiev and Seoul (read imperialist compradors) suddenly claimed that ...

Russia’s victory in Kursk

Posted by: John Phoenix Report on the liberation of Kursk by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov to Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Vladimir Putin.

As confrontation with Iran escalates, Nazi army continues attacks on Gaza and West Bank

As confrontation with Iran escalates, Israel continues attacks on Gaza and West Bank Four days after Israel attacked Iran, both countries are widening their attacks. Meanwhile, Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza continue to be gunned down, while Israel shuts down the West Bank.

Iran’s Christian Heritage

Posted by: John Phoenix The Monastery of Saint Thaddeus is an ancient Armenian monastery in a mountainous area of West Azerbaijan province, Iran. It is believed to be one of the oldest church buildings in the world. (Soheil Callage via Wikimedia Commons) The US invasion of Iraq devastated the Armenian Christian population there. An Iraq-style war would likewise imperil Iran’s 200,000 Armenian Christians. by Eldar Mamedov, reposted from the American Conservative, May 29, 2025 Having walked the ancient stone paths of St. Thaddeus, St. Stepanos, and the Shepherd’s Chapel in northwestern Iran on a recent trip, I’ve witnessed the enduring spirit of these Christian heritage sites. Their intricate carvings, frescoes, and sacred chambers, nestled in the rugged cliffs...

Trump Ramps Up WWIII, Tells Putin He’s ‘Playing With Fire’

Posted by: John Phoenix President promised during the campaign that he would resolve the Ukraine War in 24 hours, but admitted he was being 'sarcastic' U.S. President Donald Trump, who famously said resolving the Ukraine War would be a cinch, ramped up his rhetoric against Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday and said his counterpart is lucky he is in the White House because “lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD.” NEW ISSUE OUT TODAY “He’s playing with fire!” Trump said. Trump hoodwinked voters that he would be able to resolve the conflict, despite never explaining how. (He said in an interview in March that he was “being a little bit sarcastic” when he made the promise to end the war so quickly. He clarified that...

Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ plan will ignite nuclear arms race – North Korea

Unveiled by Trump last week, the initiative would provide a multilayered shield against long-range threats to the US. Some interceptor weapons would be deployed in space, and the system would reportedly include the capacity to strike launch sites before a missile is fired. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated th...

Stalin returns to Moscow – but not to power

Posted by: John Phoenix Why the notorious Soviet leader still matters in modern Russia By Dmitry Samoilov, journalist and literary critic Bas-relief 'The People's Gratitude to the Commander-in-Chief' at Taganskaya metro station, Moscow, Russia, May 15, 2025. ©  Sputnik/Evgeny Biyatov A monument to Joseph Stalin has been unveiled at Taganskaya station in the Moscow Metro. More precisely, the historical high relief that was removed in 1966 during construction work has now been restored, albeit in a simpler version. Some brought carnations to the site in tribute; others brought portraits of modern Russian leaders bearing quotes condemning Stalinism. One group sees the monument as a rightful gesture, the other as a dangerous regression. In the post-Sovie...

India–Pakistan War: The Winners and the Losers

Pepe Escobar  For all the alarming seriousness of two South Asian nuclear powers coming to the razor’s edge of a lethal exchange, the 2025 India–Pakistan war could not but contain elements of a Bollywood extravaganza. Frantic dancing indeed, which risked getting out of control pretty fast. Forget dodgy, plodding UN mediation or any serious investigation of the suspicious attack out of the blue on tourists in India-held Kashmir. Right off the bat, on 7 May, India’s Modi government dramatically launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ against Pakistan, a missile offensive billed as “counter-terrorism.” Pakistan immediately launched a counterpunch codenamed ‘Operation Bunyan al-Marsus’ against the “Indian invasion.” Culture is key. Sindoor is classic Hindu culture, referring to the vermi...
