Iran isn’t capitulating. And Trump has lost control and may already want an off-ramp.

War On Lebanon, Again. Why Now? The displacement notices they’re issuing are meant to empty south Lebanon of Lebanese for what the Israelis hope will be forever.

New post:

I’m in Lebanon, where the Israelis have unleashed another massive escalation.

I explain how they want to occupy the south for greater Israel and I ask some questions about why Hezbollah chose now to enter the war.

U.S. Empire Makes Its New Pitch. No One’s Buying It. YouTube video by BreakThrough News

US empire is in crisis and out of control, bulldozing over any force in the world that stands in its way.

From Rubio to AOC, we’re doomed. Only a truly left foreign policy can save us.

Trump is strangling 10 million people in Cuba with a medieval siege and it’s no longer making headlines.

What a sick media culture.

If the elites who control the narrative had to live like Palestinians or Cubans for even one day, just imagine how different our news feeds would look.

Pay Attention to Cuba By bending the knee to US bullying, the world is helping a fascist empire bulldoze over everyone’s sovereignty.
