The Push Toward Total War With Iran

April 23, 2026 Glenn Diesen, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Geopolitics, Iran, Peace Negotiations, Wars and Militarism

The language of peace still lingers in official statements—but on the ground, the machinery of war is accelerating. In this stark and deeply unsettling conversation, retired U.S. Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins Glenn Diesen to dismantle the illusion of diplomacy surrounding the Iran conflict. What’s being sold as negotiation, he argues, is little more than theater—designed to calm markets, not stop bombs. Behind the headlines, a far more dangerous reality is taking shape: a coordinated buildup for what Macgregor describes as a potential “total war” scenario, one that moves beyond military targets and toward the destruction of an entire state’s infrastructure.

Islamabad’s Post-War Push: New Gulf Security Order Takes Shape

April 23, 2026 F. M. Shakil, The Cradle. Educate! Foreign Relations, Geopolitics, Security guarantees, Wars and Militarism, West Asia

US President Donald Trump’s decision to extend the ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan’s request has given Islamabad more time to push for a broader settlement between Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran. Yet even as diplomacy inches forward, the war has already triggered a deeper shift across West Asia. A Pakistan-brokered truce is now tied to a broader regional realignment. Persian Gulf states, long dependent on Washington’s military shield, are openly questioning whether that shield still works. In its place, a new conversation has emerged: one centered on regional defense cooperation led by Muslim-majority states rather than the US.

Iran Survives Terrorist War And Emerges A Major Power Broker

April 22, 2026 Tim Anderson, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Geopolitics, Iran, War crimes, Wars and Militarism

The unprovoked war against Iran by the USA and "Israel" has failed in spectacular fashion, with the Israeli colony in tatters, Washington looking for a way out while Iran holds the upper hand in peace “negotiations” proposed by Pakistan. Further, Tehran’s newly asserted control over shipping traffic passing into and out of the Persian Gulf (which neither the USA nor anyone else can shake) has given it tremendous new economic leverage. Furthermore, the Iranian population has held together strongly under an extensive series of strikes on mainly civilian targets, which began with the assassination of the former Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei and the murder of 168 people, mainly schoolgirls, at the primary school in Minab, in southern Iran.

Iran And Ukraine: Two Theaters In The Non–West’s Single War For Parity

April 18, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. Educate! Geopolitics, Iran, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

First came news that, on April 8,Israeli jets bombed what is known as the China–Iran railway, a key component of Beijing’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative. Of all the targets the Zionist terror machine might have hit, why a Chinese-sponsored infrastructure project, you had to wonder. Then on Wednesday came reports that officials from nearly 50 nations — I would love a list of these 50 — met in Berlin to make sure the fires of war against Russia do not flicker out. “We cannot lose sight of Ukraine,” Mark Rutte, NATO’s new secretary-general, declared a little forlornly.

American/Ukrainians Caught Arming Militants In Myanmar

March 24, 2026 Brian Berletic, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! China, Geopolitics, India, Military conflict, Myanmar, Ukraine, US Imperialism

India’s national media reported the arrest by Indian security services of US mercenary Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainians for illegally crossing the border into neighboring Myanmar to provide military training to armed groups fighting Myanmar’s central government. Indian security services have also linked the suspects to “importing huge consignments of drones from Europe to Myanmar via India” for “ethnic armed groups,” matching the established pattern of US proxy war waged around the globe throughout the 21st century.

How Iran And China Shaped The War Chessboard

March 19, 2026 Pepe Escobar, The Cradle. Educate! China, Geopolitics, Global Economy, Iran, Wars and Militarism

China is officially responding on two parallel tracks to the Epstein Syndicate – or US-Israeli – war on Iran via a diplomatic spokesman and a military spokesman. Translation: China sees the war both as an extreme political/diplomatic tension and a military threat. China’s military spokesman, a People's Liberation Army (PLA) colonel, speaks with metaphors. It was he who said explicitly that the US is “addicted to war”, with only 250 years of History and only 16 years of peace. He clearly positions the US as a global threat. And clearly, also as a moral (italics mine) threat.

US-Israeli War On Iran Seeks To ‘Reshape West Asia’

March 12, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Geopolitics, Iran, Wars and Militarism, West Asia

Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidy said on 12 March that the US-Israeli war being waged against the Islamic Republic of Iran aims to “reshape the region” and advance normalization with Tel Aviv. “The goal is not limited to the nuclear issue. It also aims to weaken Iran, reshape the region, advance the normalization agenda, prevent the creation of a Palestinian state and weaken those who support that project,” Al-Busaidy said. “Many regional parties are aware of this, but they are betting that aligning with the US may lead Washington to reconsider some of its decisions and policies,” he added.

Saudi Arabia Asserts Dominant Role In Horn of Africa, Red Sea

January 21, 2026 Jamal Abdulahi, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Geopolitics, Horn of Africa, Israel, Red Sea, Saudi Arabia

On December 26, 2025, Israel ignited chaos in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that he was recognizing “Somaliland,” a secessionist enclave in Northern Somalia. “Somaliland” has sought state recognition since 1991, but Israel is the first to give it to them. Israel’s action inspired two new regional alliances and ratcheted up the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Saudi Arabia now leads an alliance including Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, Djibouti and Qatar. The UAE and Israel lead the other, which includes Ethiopia and Kenya.

China Is Already The Leader In Advanced Critical Technologies

In his first month back in the White House, US President Donald Trump indicated his interest in annexing Greenland and brokering a peace deal for Ukraine that would include access to Ukrainian minerals and metals. It is important to note that Greenland has already been a point of contention around its vast holdings of rare earth minerals with such remarkable names as dysprosium, neodymium, scandium, and yttrium (there are seventeen rare earth minerals that are central to any advanced technology). Given that Greenland is part of Denmark, it is therefore beholden to European Union (EU) rules.

Political Crisis In The US

January 8, 2024 Lenny Brody, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Class Struggle, Democrats, Fascism, Geopolitics, Republicans, US Imperialism

It is becoming clear that the United States is in a serious political crisis. By political crisis we mean that the ruling class is no longer able to rule and control the masses of people in the same way it has been running the country in the past period of time. Since the end of the Second World War the dominant section of the capitalist class has controlled the working class through the two party system in general and through the Democratic Party in particular. In fact the Democratic Party emerged from WWII as the most influential organization within the working class. The foundation for this was laid in the 1930s with the role of Democratic President Roosevelt and the New Deal.

Railway Of Resistance: A Grand Project To Connect Iran, Iraq, Syria

May 24, 2023 Mohamad Hasan Sweidan, The Cradle. Educate! Geopolitics, Iran, Iraq, Railroads, Syria

Sir Halford John Mackinder, one of Britain’s most prominent theorists in the field of geopolitics, discusses the significance of land connectivity between nations in his 1904 essay called The Geographical Pivot of History. Besides introducing his notable Heartland Theory, Mackinder argued that advancements in transportation technology, such as the development of railways, have altered the balance of power in international politics by enabling a powerful state or group of states to expand its influence along transport routes. The establishment of blocs, like the EU or BRICS, for instance, aims to enhance communication between member states. This objective has positive implications for the economy and helps reduce the risk of tensions among them.

Would A ‘Cold’ War Be The Best News Around?

March 7, 2022 Michael Klare, Tom Dispatch. Educate! Geopolitics, New Cold War, Russia, Taiwan, Ukraine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been widely described as the beginning of a new cold war, much like the old one in both its cast of characters and ideological nature. “In the contest between democracy and autocracy, between sovereignty and subjugation, make no mistake — freedom will prevail,” President Biden asserted in a televised address to the nation the day Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine. But while Russia and the West disagree on many issues of principle, this is not a replay of the Cold War. It’s an all-too-geopolitical twenty-first-century struggle for advantage on a highly contested global chessboard. If comparisons are in order, think of this moment as more akin to the situation Europe confronted prior to World War I than in the aftermath of World War II.

Foreign Agents Designation Causes Media Cold War

March 1, 2022 Ari Paul, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting. Educate! Geopolitics, Journalism, Media

The Trump administration mandated “five Chinese state-run media organizations to register their personnel and property with the US government”: Xinhua News Agency, China Global Television Network, China Radio International and the parent companies of the China Daily and People’s Daily newspapers (Politico, 2/18/20). The administration also “limited to 100 the number of Chinese citizens who may work in the United States” for those organizations (New York Times, 3/2/20). The privately owned Hong Kong newspaper Sing Tao was forced to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act because it “is viewed as a pro-Beijing outlet” (South China Morning Post, 8/26/21). US state media organ Radio Free Asia (8/27/21) trumpeted the “foreign agent” designation for Sing Tao, quoting one Hong Kong journalist saying that it is “a fairly open secret that it is an underground CCP [Chinese Communist Party] organization.”

The West Is Run By Barbarians

January 16, 2020 Peter Koenig, Informationclearinghouse.info Educate! Geopolitics, Imperialism, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry

Imagine, the so-called world leader invites you to a foreign country to help mediate between different factions, you accept, and when you arrive at the airport, he kills you. Then he smiles and boasts in utter satisfaction that he has given the order to kill – kill by remote control, by drone. Much worse than extra-judiciary murder, because there was never any accusation launched against you – except for lies.

Killing Nature While Playing Geopolitics

May 10, 2019 Pepe Escobar, Asiatimes.com Educate! Environment, Geopolitics

There’s nothing like a wake-up howl from nature to freeze the sound and fury convulsing the geopolitical chessboard – and drown dreams of regime change, accusations of “aggressive behavior”, and petty power plays. The latest comprehensive report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), associated with various UN agencies (UNEP, UNDP, Unesco, FAO), is a stark reminder of where global priorities should concentrate. Sir Robert Watson, the IPBES chair, was able to summarize the report in two dire sentences: “The health of ecosystems on which we and all other species depend is deteriorating more rapidly than ever.
