Kremlin Slams NATO Call For Pre-Emptive Attack On Russia

December 2, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Moscow condemned on 1 December comments made by NATO's most senior military officer, threatening that Brussels might conduct a possible “pre-emptive strike” against Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the remarks “an extremely irresponsible step, indicating the alliance's readiness to continue moving towards escalation.” “We see in it a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to overcome the Ukrainian crisis,” Zakharova said. “The people making such statements should be aware of the risks and possible consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.”

The Neocon-Realist War Over Ukraine

November 29, 2025 Ray McGovern, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
Donald Trump made some revealing remarks to the media as he flew to Florida for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. Asked if he thought Ukraine is being asked to give too much land to Russia in his proposal to end the war, Trump responded: “It’s clearly up to the Russians. It’s moving in one direction. … That’s land that over the next couple of months might be gotten by Russia anyway. So, do you want to fight and loose another 50,000 or 60,000 people? Or do something now? They are negotiating; they are trying to get it done.” That’s the same realistic approach Trump’s new special envoy to Ukraine, U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, took with the Ukrainians and Europe’s so-called “coalition of the willing” during a visit to Kiev earlier this week.

European Politicians Urge US To Stop Threatening Venezuela

November 23, 2025 Ultimate Noticias, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Parliamentarians and political leaders from across Europe called on the United States to cease its threats against Venezuela and demanded the withdrawal of US troops stationed in the Caribbean. “The prelude to the invasion is already underway. A US naval armada—at least eight warships, strategic bombers, fighter jets, and 10,000 troops—is now patrolling the Caribbean,” 62 European political leaders wrote in a statement issued on Friday, November 21. Among the US warships deployed off the Venezuelan coast is the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the US fleet, which was used against Yemen during the latest Zionist genocide in Gaza.

The Consequences Of Imperialist Arrogance

November 17, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. , , , , , ,
In almost all the tragedies of ancient Greek theater, the protagonist has committed a fatal moral offense which leads them to a deadly outcome, almost always facilitated by their overweening arrogance. In the case of the progressive collapse of the collective West, one is dealing with five centuries of countless crimes of genocidal conquest and slavery. But their hateful culture of arrogance does not allow Western leaders to admit that they owe the wealth and political-military power of their countries to this genocidal criminality. This arrogance in the face of the collective West’s decline gets expressed in diplomatic bad faith and unilateral aggression, exacerbating the lack of cooperation and trust that characterizes the current international crisis.

Europe Is Regulating AI Hiring; Why Isn’t The United States?

November 15, 2025 Ryan Zhang, On Labor. , , ,
In 2018, Amazon unveiled a groundbreaking AI hiring tool. But what began as a promise to revolutionize how the company identified talent devolved into an algorithm that “did not like women.” The model, trained on a decade of old resumes mostly from men, penalized references to women’s organizations and graduates of women’s colleges. Although Amazon abandoned the tool, the incident revealed a more fundamental problem: In automating hiring, employers are also automating bias. Today, AI plays a major role in hiring, yet the U.S. has failed to establish coherent guardrails even as jurisdictions like the European Union have acted decisively.

CELAC-EU Declaration Plagued By Objections From US Allies

November 11, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
On Sunday, the Fourth Summit between the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union (EU) issued a joint declaration. The 52-paragraph document was signed by 32 of the 33 CELAC countries. Venezuela was the only country that decided not to sign it. At the end of the document, seven countries—Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago—presented formal objections to critical paragraphs. They distanced themselves from positions reaffirming the region as a Zone of Peace, condemning the genocide in Gaza, and demanding an end to the economic blockade against Cuba, among others. The declaration also includes paragraph number 14 regarding the Ukrainian conflict, which appears to respond more to the interests of the European Union than to those of the Latin American countries. It was not questioned by any of the signatories.

EU Movement Strengthens Call To Boycott Israeli Pharmaceutical Company

November 8, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva is facing mounting pressure from Palestine solidarity groups across Europe. One of Israel’s largest drugs manufacturers and a major global producer of generic medicines, Teva has actively supported the genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 and contributed to the erosion of Palestinian healthcare long before that, Giorgia Gusciglio, Europe Coordinator for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Campaigns at the Palestinian BDS National Committee, told People’s Health Dispatch.

Leaks Expose Collapse Of EU/US-Backed Belarusian ‘Opposition’

November 3, 2025 Kit Klarenberg, The Grayzone. , , , , , ,
When Belarusian opposition figure Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya declared herself “President” of an alternative government in 2020, she was enthusiastically embraced – and showered with funding – by the Western governments which yearned to depose the longtime leader of her country, Alexander Lukashenko, and remove Russia’s closest regional ally from the geopolitical chessboard. The New York Times set the tone by lionizing Tsikhanouskaya as a modern-day Joan of Arc. However, a wave of public scandals have prompted Tsikhanouskaya’s foreign sponsors to gradually abandon her unpopular crusade to topple the government of Lukashenko. In August, it was revealed she had secretly taken thousands of euros from Minsk’s KGB in August 2020, a payoff for publicly pleading with protesters to stop their action in the streets, before she fled the country.

Resistance Grows To Europe’s 2026 Budget Plans

October 31, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , ,
It’s the peak of the 2026 budget season in Europe, and military and arms spending are dominating the debate. Under the European Union’s militarization drive and national commitments to meet higher NATO contributions, draft budgets circulating across the bloc allocate billions of euros to so-called defense at the expense of public services and workers’ rights. While trade unions and social movements in some countries are already mobilizing against this trend, others are still working to make clear that rearmament plans will only worsen the social and economic crises faced by Europe’s working class.

Washington’s New War Front To Box In China And Turkiye

October 17, 2025 Cradle Correspondent, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s words earlier this month were a clear declaration that the relatively calm waters of the Eastern Mediterranean have become the front line in a wider geopolitical conflict. The threat that “Turkiye will strike first” was not only directed at Greece, Cyprus, or Israel, but at the new security architecture forming on the edge of the west, what can be called the “Mediterranean Arc.” This tripartite strategic partnership has evolved beyond a regional coalition countering Ankara’s ambitions. It now forms a critical node in a broader geopolitical constellation known as the Indo-Mediterranean Rim – the central stage of intensifying competition between the US and China across Eurasia and beyond.

European Union Climate Breakdown

October 5, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. , , ,
In the sharpest possible contrast to the US approach to climate change, in a very grown-up adult fashion, the EU has publicly stated: “EU officials warn climate breakdown and wildlife loss are ruining ecosystems that underpin the economy.” Whew!!! The world is still sane. Like a cool refreshing late afternoon breeze, a great sense of relief has spread across the Continent. With a remarkable pitch-perfect admission, the EU informs its citizens of the truth no matter how much it hurts. The upside to this admission is an understanding by the citizens that something horrible is wrong. Ipso facto, they must pull together to do something about it. Definitively, this pulls everybody into the mix to be aware, be prepared, make sacrifices, if necessary, to make it right.

EU Farm Subsidy ‘Bankrolls’ Widespread Labour Abuse

Farm owners convicted of exploiting migrant workers continue to claim millions in taxpayer-funded subsidies, DeSmog can reveal. A major new investigation traced dozens of EU payments to farms that have breached, are under investigation for, or have already been convicted of labour-related offences.

Another Crazy Idea On How To Steal Russia’s Assets

September 27, 2025 Moon of Alabama. , , ,
The war hawks have long tried to steal Russian assets held in West to then use the money to finance the proxy war against Russia. The sums involved are serious: Nearly three years after the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Belgium holds €258 billion in frozen or immobilised Russian assets. The General Administration of Treasury at the Ministry of Finance confirmed the figures on Wednesday to La Libre and De Tijd. Some of these assets belong to institutions not sanctioned by the European Union. Frozen assets amount to €65 billion, with an additional €193 billion in immobilised transactions, primarily from the Central Bank of Russia. The money is not really held by Belgium but by the Belgium company Euroclear which acts as depository for  international central bank assets denominated in Euros. Currently the EU is confiscating the interest, not the principal, of that money to distribute it to Ukraine. That step is likely already illegal and Russia will certainly use the courts to get it back.

Trump Wages Economic War On US Allies; BRICS Builds Alternative System

September 18, 2025 Ben Norton and Michael Hudson, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The US government has always had a very aggressive foreign policy. The United States has intervened in dozens of countries all around the world. But what is unique about Donald Trump is that many of his aggressive policies not only target US adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, but also longtime US allies. Trump has imposed high tariffs that have hurt the economies of key US allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe. In fact, the details of the agreement that Trump imposed on Japan are quite shocking. This was reported on by the Financial Times, which wrote that “Japan confronts the increased price of US friendship”. Although I would say it’s not so much “friendship”; rather it’s vassalage. Japan has been militarily occupied by the US for 80 years, and we’re now seeing the cost of this imperial relationship.

China Warns Of Retaliation As US Pushes 100% Tariffs

September 17, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
Last week, US President Donald Trump demanded that his European allies impose a 100% tariff against China and India for importing oil from Russia. He apparently promised the European envoy that he would match Europe and impose similar tariffs against both countries. Trump has accused China and India of funding the war in Ukraine by importing oil from Russia. This was confirmed by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday in an interview with Reuters. He claimed that his country will not impose more tariffs on China and India over Russian oil imports until the Europeans do it. In response, China reiterated that no amount of external pressure or coercion will make it compromise its “sovereignty, security and development interests” and warned that if its “legitimate rights and interests are harmed” in any way it will “resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard” them.
