Russia US Detente

The Real Reasons For The US-Israeli War On Iran, Explained

June 19, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , ,
In its war on Iran, the US empire seeks to impose hegemony in West Asia (aka the Middle East), destroy the Axis of Resistance, colonize Palestine, destabilize the revolutionary Iranian government, preserve the petrodollar system, prevent de-dollarization, divide BRICS, and break up the Iran-Russia-China partnership. The United States and Israel are jointly waging war on Iran, but why? What are their real goals? What the US empire would like to accomplish is the following: Maintain US hegemony in West Asia (aka the Middle East) Destroy the anti-colonial Axis of Resistance, making possible the total colonization of Palestine Prevent Iran from ever developing nuclear capabilities Overthrow or at least weaken Iran’s independent, revolutionary government Scare other countries in the region that may seek to move away from the US and the dollar (especially the Gulf monarchies)

Watch Out World: Peace May be Breaking Out!!

July 8, 2018 Alice Slater, World Beyond War , ,
In light of the new détente Trump succeeded in negotiating with the long-despised and isolated North Korea, it just might be possible that peace is breaking out, to the great consternation and disapproval of the military-industrial-academic- congressional-media complex and the traditional neoliberal Republicrats who have been opposing any efforts of these sorts, and badmouthing and diminishing the positive effects of the encouraging news that resulted from the Korean negotiations and the possibility of it's achieving any promising outcomes.  Other naysayers are the members of the US nuclear alliance including NATO states as well as Australia, South Korea, and most surprisingly, Japan, the only country to have ever suffered catastrophic nuclear bombing which was wreaked upon it twice in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US in August 1945.
