Qatar Rethinks the U.S. Security Umbrella

By:James Durso After Israel’s attack on a Hamas meeting in Doha, Qatar, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed regret over the incident and directed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to finalize a defense cooperation agreement with Qatar. When Qatari officials heard that news, they probably wondered, Why bother? Qatar is a Major Non-NATO Ally of the U.S. and a major customer for American defense equipment. In recent years Doha provided financial support to Hamas (with U.S. and Israeli connivance), mediated U.S.-Taliban peace talks, hosted America’s Afghan refugee resettlement facility; mediated ceasefire talks between Israel and the militant group Hamas; hosts the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, Al Udeid Air Base (upgraded at Qat...

Syria “Liberated” by its own Destroyers

Posted by: John Phoenix By: Global Research, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, today’s de facto ruler of Damascus, has an eloquent history: he began his jihadist militancy in al-Qaeda’s ranks as an associate of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the “caliph” who founded ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, in 2013. In 2011, during the preparatory phase, al-Baghdadi sent him to Syria with large sums of money for the creation of the al-Nusra Front, a formally autonomous faction but in reality, part of the Islamic State. The al-Jolani faction has been involved in the US-NATO operation to destroy the Syrian state since its inception. One of the reasons for this operation is the fact that in July 2011 Syria, Iran and Iraq signed an agreement for a pipeline that would connect ...

“Fiercely Independent” Houthis Triumph Over Trump

Posted by: John Phoenix Interview with Dr. Aisha Jumaan By Dr. Aisha Jumaan and Mike Whitney Global Research, Mike Whitney (MW): On Tuesday, President Trump said that the US will stop bombing Yemen because the Houthis said they would “not be blowing up ships anymore.” Trump added that the Houthis “capitulated” and “don’t want to fight anymore”. Is Trump telling the truth; did the Houthis ‘give up’? Aisha Jumaan (AJ): Based on the attached statement from the Sultanate of Oman Foreign ministry, it seems that the ceasefire between the US and Ansar-Allah in Sana’a was reached in a mutual way. Ansar-Allah, in an interview with DropSite by one of the Ansar-Allah leaders said, “We do not consider ourselves at war with the American people,” said M...

Khashoggi versus 50,000 Slaughtered Yemeni Children

Posted by: John Phoenix Europe has no morals, no ethics no nothing. Global Research, The European Parliament has asked yesterday (25 October) for an immediate embargo on the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, hence sanctioning the Kingdom of rogue Saudi Arabia which is joining the United States and 'Israel' as the main purveyor of crime throughout the Middle East and the world. France still said they will apply sanctions only if it is proven that Riyadh was indeed involved in the killing of the controversial Saudi journalist. Madame Merkel at least days ago said that Germany would no longer supply the Saudis with arms – as a result of the heinous crime committed on Jamal Khashoggi. No doubt, it was a horrible murder that took place in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, with J...

Remembering China’s role in the global anti-fascist war

Posted by: John Phoenix The second of September 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, bringing an end to World War 2. China’s role in the war, and indeed the very existence of the Pacific Theatre, has to a significant degree been written out of history. In his book China’s war with Japan: 1937 – 1945, British historian Rana Mitter writes that, “for decades, our understanding of [World War 2] has failed to give a proper account of the role of China. If China was considered at all, it was as a minor player, a bit-part actor in a war where the United States, Soviet Union and Britain played much more significant roles” (Rana Mitter, China’s war with Japan: 1937 – 1945; the struggle for survival, Penguin Books,...

World’s largest offshore wind monopoly reports record crash

Posted by: John Phoenix Is the green stock market bubble starting to burst? Ørsted, the Danish company which controls 25% of the global offshore wind market share, reported a record loss of 30% of its share value in early August 2025. The company said it was negatively affected by US market ‘adversity’. US capital exacts energy market share from EU sidekicks The crash was precipitated by the US decision to halt all offshore wind leases, in order to support US oil and gas monopolies. The move means that Ørsted’s assets in the US are not only useless, but also unsellable. The stocks of other European energy monopolies have also been negatively affected since the US policy was announced, while US energy monopolies benefited. The US is not a major global player in wind ...

Understanding the heroism of Yemen – Part 1

Posted by: John Phoenix The Yemeni ‘Houthi’ Ansar Allah movement shot to prominence in late 2023 when, following the beginning of the US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinians of Gaza, the movement’s forces announced that they were shutting down access to the Red Sea through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait for all Israeli-linked shipping – a threat that they quickly proved they were totally capable of enforcing. Despite this sudden worldwide prominence, the ‘Houthi’ movement’s origins and ideological underpinnings remain largely unknown and under-studied – primarily because this suits the interests of Western imperialism, which fears the movement becoming an example for other oppressed nations to follow. Based on a presentation delivered at Saklatvala Hall in London in June 2025, ...

The West prepares the European theatre for World War 3

Posted by: John Phoenix The failure of Western military technology to produce the weaponry necessary for Nato to prevail in Ukraine and for the Israeli puppet to prevail against Iran has caused great alarm to the imperialist warmongers, led by the US but with active complicity of the European ruling classes. This alarm was, for instance, eloquently expressed by General James E Rainey, a US 4-star general, who warned that the way wars were fought was changing at “hyperspeed” and America was failing to keep up. “Conceding that Russia is ‘ahead of us on UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] right now’, Rainey told The [New York] Times…’There’s technology that we absolutely know we need the next time we go to war, indisputably — to counter UAS [unmanned aircra...
