Inter-Imperialist Rivalry

Putin Unleashes Strategic Hell On The U.S.

March 19, 2020 Tom Luongo, Strategic-culture.org , ,
I am an avid board game player. I’m not much for the classics like chess or go, preferring the more modern ones. But, regardless, as a person who appreciates the delicate balance between strategy and tactics, I have to say I am impressed with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s sense of timing.

Iraq’s Resistance Reveals How U.S. Troops Will Be Removed From Its Country

March 18, 2020 Staff, Moonofalabama.org , , ,
Yesterday the U.S. attacked five sites in Iraq and killed 3 Iraqi soldiers of the 19th Division, two policeman and a civilian. The strikes came after some 10+ rockets, fired by unknown people, had hit the joint base Camp Tali and had killed 2 U.S. and one British soldiers. Today the U.S. received the revenge for its strikes.

U.S. Army Invades Virus Plagued Europe

March 17, 2020 Bruce K. Gagnon, Space4peace.blogspot.com , , ,
In the midst of a staggering virus epidemic that has shut much of Europe down, the insane and arrogant United States is presently sending 30,000 Army troops throughout Europe for war games. As the soldiers emerged from their transport planes they shook the hands of US and European military officials welcoming them to the hot bed of corona-virus.

“Maximum-Pressure March”: US Hybrid War On Venezuela Heats Up

March 17, 2020 Leonardo Flores, Codepink.org , , , ,
The first quarter of 2020 has seen the Trump administration escalate its rhetoric against Venezuela. At the State of the Union, President Trump promised to “smash” and destroy the Venezuelan government. This was followed by a renewed threat of a naval blockade on the country, which is an act of war under U.S. and international law...

Sanctions Against Iran And Venezuela During A Pandemic Are Cruel

March 17, 2020 By Vijay Prashad and Paola Estrada, Peoplesdispatch.org , , , , , ,
Swiftly moves the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), dashing across continents, skipping over oceans, terrifying populations in every country. The numbers of those infected rises, as do the numbers of those who have died. Hands are being washed, tests are being done, social distancing has become a new phrase. It is unclear how devastating this pandemic will be; certainly, the experience of the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu hangs heavily...

U.S. Prevents Venezuela From Buying Drugs To Treat COVID-19

March 17, 2020 Staff, Radiohc.cu , , , ,
Caracas, March 14 (RHC)--Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab denounced Friday that coercive and unilateral measures imposed by the United States prevent the purchase of drugs and supplies to confront COVID-19. Speaking about the confirmation of the first two cases of the disease this Friday, the magistrate reaffirmed that in the midst of the situation the world is going through because of the pandemic, it is unacceptable that punitive actions be maintained, which constitute a massive violation of human rights.

Putin Launches “War On US Shale” After Dumping MbS & Breaking Up OPEC+

March 10, 2020 By Tyler Durden, Zerohedge.com ,
OPEC+ is no more, after a torrid 24 hours in which Russia overturned the balance of power in the oil world, leaving the members of OPEC+ dazed and confused, shocking Saudi which now faces social unrest with the price of oil far below Riyadh's budget, and - in a repeat of the Thanksgiving 2014 OPEC massacre - sending oil prices plunging by the most since the financial crisis.

U.S. Breaks Its Just Signed Agreement With The Taliban

March 5, 2020 Staff, Moonofalabama.org , , ,
Today a U.S. fighter jet bombed a Taliban unit which was fighting with an Afghan government checkpoint. The air attack came just a day after U.S. President Trump had a telephone call with the Taliban leaders in Doha. The Taliban will likely see this as a breach of the recent ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban. The Russian Presidential Envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov supports that view...

The Terrorism-Industrial Complex (TIC)

March 3, 2020 Jan Oberg, Transcend.org , ,
A modified image of President Ronald Reagan with Afghan mujaheddins–‘freedom fighters’ against the Soviet Union in 1983. Today, against the USA, they are called ‘terrorists.’ 25 Feb 2020 – Since George W. Bush – a friend of the bin Laden family – declared the global “War On Terror” in October 2001, it has cost the American taxpayers approximately 6.6 trillion dollars and thousands of fallen sons and daughters…

A Difficult Peace

March 3, 2020 Sean Reynolds, Vcnv.org , ,
Nearly a thousand of us were gathered in Chicago beneath the alarming edifice of Chicago’s “Trump Tower.” Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani had been brutally murdered the day before in Iraq, with several of his associates; and the welcome surprise of Iran’s relatively measured response was yet a few days off. 

The Afghanistan ‘Peace Deal’ Riddle

March 2, 2020 Pepe Escobar, Informationclearinghouse.info , , ,
Nearly two decades after the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan post-9/11, and after an interminable war costing over $ 2 trillion, there’s hardly anything “historic” about a possible peace deal that may be signed in Doha this coming Saturday between Washington and the Taliban.

Junk The VFA! Tubbataha Disaster Shows How Us Military Presence Is Poisonous To The Philippines! — Bayan USA

February 27, 2020 Staff, Bayanusa.org , ,
Filipino-Americans under the banner of BAYAN USA are calling on Philippine President Benigno Aquino III to terminate the US-RP Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) as protesters descended upon the US Embassy in Manila yesterday to rally against the disaster surrounding the USS Guardian, a US naval minesweeper that got stuck onto the Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea over one month ago.

No Manufacturing Renaissance, US Manufacturing Is In Trouble

February 26, 2020 Marty Hart Landsberg, Economicfront.wordpress.com , ,
President Trump is all in, touting his success in rebuilding US manufacturing. For example, in his state of the union address he claimed: We are restoring our nation’s manufacturing might, even though predictions were that this could never be done. After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my administration.

US defense secretary launches simulated nuclear attack against Russia in Pentagon war game

February 25, 2020 Andre Damon, Wsws.org ,
As more than 20,000 US troops and 20,000 military vehicles began to arrive in Europe for the massive “Defender 2020” exercise targeting Russia, US Defense Secretary Mark Esper took part in a war game at US Strategic Command headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska involving the simulated use of nuclear weapons against Russian troops.

Organised Violence: The US And China Compared

February 25, 2020 Staff, Johnmenadue.com , ,
Americans are brought up to believe what Woodrow Wilson said after Versailles, that their nation is exceptional and the ‘saviour of the world’, not an imperialistic power. But after the US invaded Afghanistan in October 2001, the cover of the New York Timesmagazine happily advised its readers: ‘American Empire: get used to it’. Historian Chalmers Johnson repeatedly deplored the US ‘empire of bases’.
