US attempts to prevent Colombia from moving closer to China through blackmail

Posted by: John Phoenix Colombia’s overtures toward China have sparked opposition from the United States, which has announced it will cut off funding for projects related to the Asian giant in the South American country. This is an act of manipulation that, however, could end up bringing Colombia even closer to the Asian market. The rapprochement with China that Colombia’s accession to the Belt and Road Initiative represented did not go unnoticed by the Trump administration, which responded by questioning the continued funding of US funds for projects in the country. “The US will strongly oppose recent projects and upcoming disbursements by the IDB and other IFIs for Chinese state-owned and controlled companies in Colombia (and other BRI countries in t...

What If the Conventional Wisdom About Putin’s War is Mostly Wrong?

Posted by: John Phoenix Photograph Source: Kremlin.ru – CC BY 4.0 The conventional wisdom regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine is universally accepted by retired generals and ambassadors; bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate; too many political scientists, and of course the ever obedient mainstream media. The conventional wisdom roughly dictates that Putin invaded Ukraine to overthrow the government and occupy the entire country, marking the first step to reach further into East Europe to return states such as Poland to the Russian orbit; and to recreate the Soviet empire. This wisdom dictates that the only response to Putin’s putative empire-building is to isolate Moscow; increase sanctions; pursue the war as Ukraine’s benefact...

Stalin’s Library by Geoffrey Roberts – a resumé and review – Part 2

Posted by: John Phoenix We continue Harpal Brar’s review of Geoffrey Roberts’ book on Stalin’s library, as Harpal had completed it in full before he died in January this year after only one instalment had been published (in the January/February issue). Space did not allow for continuation in the March/April issue, but we are now delighted to be able to continue the serialisation of this interesting work which will run to several parts. Stalin at work while in exile As he spent several years in exile, and opportunities for political activity were limited, it provided him with plenty of time for study. He spent much time in local libraries. In February 1912 he disappeared from his lodgings in Vologda (northern Russia), leaving behind his books on a variety of...

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. Valery Gerasimov: Today, we liberated the village of Gornal, the last populated area in the Kursk Region, from Ukrainian units. Units of the 22nd Motor Rifle Regiment of the 72nd Division, the 810th and 40th Separate Marine Brigades, the 177th Separate Marine Regiment and the 1427th Motor Rifle Regiment have particularly distinguished themselves in this regard. The defeat of the armed formations of the Ukrainian armed forces that invaded the Kursk Region has thus been completed. The plans of the Kiev regime to create a so-called strategic bridgehead and disrupt our ...

The “Three Seas Initiative” Will Play a Prominent Role in Post-Conflict Europe

Posted by: John Phoenix Russia considers it to be a series of military logistics projects sold to the public as economic ones. By Andrew Korybko Global Research, The 10th Summit of the “Three Seas Initiative” (3SI), which refers to the jointly Polish- and Croatian-founded platform for fostering Central European integration, concluded in Warsaw in late April.

Paragraph 13 reaffirmed the member states’ commitment to implementing six Three Se...

Trump’s ‘good cop, bad cop’ game with Iran

Posted by: John Phoenix Until just a few weeks ago, a US attack on Iran seemed almost like a done deal. This isn’t exactly out of the ordinary for Republican governments, as they tend to be more aggressive toward Tehran, and the Trump administration is no different in that regard. Since his first term, Donald Trump has been quite critical of Iran and its policies. This continued during his second term, with Washington DC escalating tensions by directly attacking and bombing Iranian allies such as the Houthis (officially known as the Ansar Allah). The former Biden administration also worked to pave the way for more American interventionism in the Middle East, particularly by targeting Syria, which fell to Western-backed terrorists in early December. In the me...

President Trump: Stop Bombing Yemen and Exit the Middle East!

Posted by: John Phoenix US President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington D.C., United States on January 30, 2025 (Celal Güneş/Anadolu Agency). By Ron Paul, Reposted from LewRockwell.com, 18 March 2025 Over the weekend President Trump ordered a massive military operation against the small country of Yemen. Was Yemen in the process of attacking the United States? No. Did the President in that case go to Congress and seek a declaration of war against the country? No. The fact is, Yemen hadn’t even threatened the United States before the bombs started falling. Last year, candidate Trump strongly criticized the Biden Administration’s obsession with foreign interventionism to the detriment of our problems at home. In an interview at the Libertarian National Conven...
