The winds of change are blowing through Ukraine. The most obvious change – and the only one much discussed in the mainstream media – is Donald Trump. From a Cold Warrior president who defined the war in Ukraine as “the great battle for freedom: a battle between democracy and autocracy” that cannot be lost, the Continue reading "Winds of Change Blow Through Ukraine" The post Winds of Change Blow Through Ukraine appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Another Veterans Day, another 24 hours under a national psychosis. Americans reflexively thank veterans for their ‘service,’ but why? If more Americans were to read John Waters’ River City One, perhaps more Americans would substitute gratitude with an apology. Waters portrays the mental anguish many veterans endure via the fictional but likely sad realities of Continue reading "Dont Make Good People Do Bad Things" The post Dont Make Good People Do Bad Things appeared first on Antiwar.com.

On November 1, 2018 then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the launch of the China Initiative – a whole-of-government effort ostensibly designed to thwart espionage and technology theft by the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). Chinese American groups and activists immediately denounced the program as racially biased and its investigations improperly predicated, and in 2021 two Continue reading "PRC Espionage: Are Chinese Americans Their Top Recruitment Targets?"

That is Gaza behind me. The fence line is 600m away. The northern part of Gaza, where Israel is carrying out a genocide within a genocide, systematically starving 300,000 Palestinians to death, is about 2km further. The absurdity and the obscenity of being able to be this close to 20,000 murdered children, their bodies “prophetic Continue reading "Stare Into Gaza: The Horror Was Not What I Expected" The post Stare Into Gaza: The Horror Was Not What I Expected appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Francesca Albanese did not mince her words. In a strongly worded speech at the United Nations General Assembly Third Committee on October 29, the UN Special Rapporteur deviated from the typical line of other UN officials. She directed her statements to those in attendance. “Is it possible that after 42,000 people killed, you cannot empathize Continue reading "End of Empathy: Did the Gaza Genocide Render the UN Irrelevant?"

Heres a pop quiz: When can an Army colonel overrule the Secretary of Defense? It happened last week for probably the first time in modern history. The short answer is: Even in the military, the Secretary of Defense cannot change the rules and procedures for criminal prosecutions and tell military judges how to try cases.

Some things changed in politics in Washington, DC last week when Republican United States senators via a secret ballot vote selected Sen John Thune (R-SD) to become Senate Republican leader, replacing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the position. One of the things that remained the same, though, was that the Senate Republican leader position, along Continue reading "US Congressional Leadership Remains United in Devotion to Israel After Selection of New Senate Republican Leader" The post US Congressional Leadership Remains United in Devotion to Israel After Selection of New Senate Republican Leader appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Most Americans have a heart that yearns for a leaner, more efficient government, one that obeys the Constitution and practices fiscal honesty. For the last six decades, no figure has been more iconic and relentless in this pursuit than former congressman Ron Paul. With excitement surrounding Trumps recent announcement of a “Manhattan Project” Department of Continue reading "For DOGE To Hunt Waste, It Needs Ron Paul to Sic It" The post For DOGE To Hunt Waste, It Needs Ron Paul to Sic It appeared first on Antiwar.com.

On November 17, the U.S. told the world what they had told Ukraine three days earlier: Ukraine had permission to fire American supplied long-range missiles deeper into Russian territory. Not much needs to be said about the risks involved in the decision. They are the same risks that have caused the Biden administration to hesitate Continue reading "All the Risk, Little of the Gain: US Authorizes Long-Range Strikes Into Russia" The post All the Risk, Little of the Gain: US Authorizes Long-Range Strikes Into Russia appeared first on Antiwar.com.

One of the most encouraging and promising things President-elect Trump said in his post-election acceptance speech was, “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars…” We all understand that campaign promises often have a short shelf life after the election is over, but the Trump campaign’s repeated talk of peace over Continue reading "If Trump Didnt Send Musk to Talk with the Iranians… He Should!"

Of all Trump’s choices for his foreign policy team, Marco Rubio is the least controversial to the neoconservative foreign policy establishment in Washington, and the most certain to provide continuity with all that is wrong with U.S. foreign policy, from Cuba to the Middle East to China. The only area where there might be some Continue reading "Eight Reasons Why Marco Rubio Would Be a Disastrous Secretary of State" The post Eight Reasons Why Marco Rubio Would Be a Disastrous Secretary of State appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Former President and President-elect Donald Trump has been tarred, inconsistently with his actual record, with the charge of being soft on Russia. He has never been charged with being soft on Iran. Trump unilaterally and illegally pulled out of the JCPOA nuclear agreement with Iran. He imposed devastating sanctions on Iran. He ordered the assassination Continue reading "A Common Thread Runs Through Trump Appointments: Look Out Iran!"

President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Tulsi Gabbard to be director of national intelligence (DNI) will cause shockwaves in and among the 18 fiefdoms that now comprise the U.S. intelligence community.

“You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” ~ Pablo Neruda For over a year, the masters of war in Israel and the United States, abetted by the corporate media, have buried truth under the rubble of Gaza.

Well, you can say this much about the Donald’s off-the-wall pick of Fox’s weekend news commentator, Pete Hegseth, for Secretary of Defense: At least it wasn’t a hard-core neocon like House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers (R-Ala), Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) or the horrid Senator Tom Cotten of Arkansas. Better a cheerleader for patriotism and Continue reading "Trumps Hegseth Caper and the Delusion of Peace Through Strength" The post Trumps Hegseth Caper and the Delusion of Peace Through Strength appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Arab and Muslim American voters did not remove Democrats from office, nor did they cost Kamala Harris the Oval Office. They merely sent a strong message that Palestine matters, not only to Arabs and Muslims but to many Americans as well. The ones who cost the Democrats the elections are the Democrats themselves.

When Donald Trump takes office on January 20th, all his campaign promises to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours and almost as quickly end Israel’s war on its neighbors will be put to the test.

The concept of “the West” is a complex and difficult one. At times it excludes countries in the geographical west, like Cuba and Venezuela and sometimes Brazil. At times it includes countries not in the geographical west, like Japan and Australia.
