A Weak Left Stands By As Russia Stands Up For Cuban Sovereignty

April 3, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
Donald Trump recently bragged that he was “on a roll” after kidnapping President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela and beginning the process of turning that country into a U.S. vassal state. Venezuela was the first domino to fall and the U.S. planned for Cuba to be next. An important part of this strategy was to end Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba, along with threats of lawfare indictments against Cuban leadership as was done against Maduro, and demands that President Miguel Diaz-Canel step down. Already weakened by 67 years of unilateral coercive measures and the imposition of a State Sponsor of Terrorism Status, which increased the economic damage of the U.S. maximum pressure campaign, Cuba was in great danger.

Russian Oil Tanker Brings Help For Cuba

March 31, 2026 W. T. Whitney, Jr., People's World. , , ,
Streets and hospital corridors at night in Cuba are dark. Cars and buses don’t move. Cubans walk or ride bicycles. Trucks don’t arrive to remove trash, and so it burns. Offices, production units, and operating rooms are closed down. Older people and babies are dying when they shouldn’t have to. It’s been more than three months since a regularly scheduled oil tanker arrived in Cuba’s ports, with all incoming energy shipments halted since the U.S. government on Jan. 29 imposed punishing tariffs on any nation sending oil to Cuba. Finally, this past weekend, came a reprieve

IDF Threatens ‘Elimination’ For Russian Leaders Who ‘Wish Israel Ill’

March 21, 2026 Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , ,
Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets. Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.”

Gulf States Condemn Iran Retaliatory Strikes; Russia Denounces ‘Unprovoked’ War

March 1, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Persian Gulf states condemned Iranian missile strikes targeting US bases on their territory in retaliation for the US-Israeli “pre-emptive” assault on Iran, calling them violations of sovereignty, while Russia denounced the US-Israeli assault and urged diplomacy, in statements issued on 28 February. Qatar condemned the targeting within its territory with Iranian ballistic missiles, describing it as a “flagrant violation” of its national sovereignty, saying the retaliatory strikes targeting US bases amounted to “a direct infringement on its security and territorial integrity,” and warned it “reserves its full right to respond to this attack.”

To Whom Are Our Liars Lying; What Is The Point Of Their Lies?

February 25, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , , ,
To make the case that those who purport to lead the Western post-democracies lie routinely about what they are doing and why they are doing it will not help you win friends and influence people. That they are incessantly deceitful has been too obvious to too many people for too long. Never forget your Dale Carnegie and the imperative always to say something interesting. Lately something interesting in this line has occurred to me. It came to me last autumn — on Oct. 25 to be precise. I was reading The New York Post, as one must to keep one’s head clear in our complicated world, and came upon an opinion piece headlined “Vlad’s war of words.”

Ship Carrying Russian Fuel Heads To Cuba

February 23, 2026 Cuba en Resumen, Resumen English. , , ,
The Sea Horse ship carrying Russian fuel is heading to Cuba amid the island’s energy situation and defying US President Donald Trump’s sanctions to impose tariffs, Bloomberg reported. According to the media outlet and data from maritime intelligence firm Kpler Ltd, the ship could be carrying about 200,000 barrels of Russian diesel fuel. They reported that its arrival is scheduled for early March, according to Kpler’s chief oil analyst, Matt Smith. For his part, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov previously stated that Russia is in contact with its Cuban partners regarding oil shipments to the island, amid the tightening of the US blockade.

Bombs Which Polish The Skulls Of The Dead

On 5 February 2026, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) expired, ending the last surviving legal constraint on the strategic nuclear arsenals of the United States and the Russian Federation. New START, which was signed in 2010 and entered into force in 2011, should have been replaced by a successor agreement. The treaty limited strategic warheads and delivery vehicles deployed by each side and established a verification regime of inspection, notification, and information exchange. These measures were not cosmetic; they were thin threads that restrained the most destructive machinery ever assembled.

Moscow: US And Russia ‘No Longer Bound’ By New START Limits

February 5, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , ,
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it believes the US and Russia are no longer bound by New START, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the two powers, which is set to expire on Thursday. “In the current circumstances, we assume that the Parties to the New START are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations in the context of the Treaty, including its core provisions, and are in principle free to choose their next steps,” the ministry said in a statement issued on Telegram on Wednesday, the day before the treaty officially expires.

All Unquiet On The Ukrainian Front

January 22, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , ,
Sometimes wars have occasions that can be read — immediately, soon or in time — as turning points, clarifying moments. D–Day, June 6, 1944, is an obvious case: The Allies and the Red Army were in Berlin less than a year later. The Tet Offensive, which began 58 years ago next week (Can you believe it?), is another: All the victory-is-near illusions the American command had cultivated for years collapsed. There were many more casualties at the altar of imperial delusion, but the war in Southeast Asia was on the way to over. On Jan. 8 Russia attacked Lviv, the city in western Ukraine, with an Oreshnik missile.

Russia Blasts United States At UN Security Council Over Iran

January 16, 2026 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , ,
In the past two weeks of unrest, Darzi said, the “United States regime is responsible   “Peaceful protests that began on 28th of December 2025 with legitimate economic demands were deliberately hijacked by organized armed groups and transformed into violent riots.”  The led to attacks on mosques and police stations, and beheadings and burning innocent people alive, Darzi said.  “The situation is in fact very simple. The United States regime and its accomplices, particularly the Israeli regime, cannot evade responsibility for the innocent blood that has been shed in my country,” he said.

Mock Strategy

January 15, 2026 Michael Brenner, Consortium News. , , ,
The crazy-quilt National Security Strategy (NSS) released some weeks back is a patchwork of declarations of intent, admonitions thrown at other countries and ad hominem statements of dubious validity. It lacks coherence or consistency – much less a theme, a central idea, or a concept that gives pattern to its incongruent parts. Clearly, the document is the artless product of an assemblage of authors undisciplined by editorial direction. Yet, many serious analysts claim to see in this disjointed attempt at composing a grand strategy a landmark signaling a fundamental shift in the way the United States sees itself in the realm of international affairs.

EU Official Plotted To ‘Organise Resistance’ Against Hungary’s Orban

January 12, 2026 Kit Klarenberg, The Grayzone. , , , , ,
A senior European Union official has been secretly seeking to remove Hungarian President Viktor Orban since at least 2019, according to leaked documents reviewed by The Grayzone. The files show in January 2019, the EU’s International Coordinator for the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs, Marton Benedek, authored a “project proposal” aimed at “developing a permanent coordination forum to organise resistance against the Orban regime.” In addition to his role at the European border control agency, Benedek currently heads Brussels’ “cooperation” with Libya.

While Trump Spoke Of Peace, The CIA Escalated War Against Russia

January 2, 2026 Gary Wilson, Struggle - La Lucha. , , ,
While the Trump administration spoke publicly of peace talks, the CIA escalated a covert war on Russia’s oil infrastructure with the president’s approval. A recent New York Times report documents this dual track, detailing how covert attacks continued even as public diplomacy gestured toward negotiations. The contradiction reflects divisions within the U.S. ruling class over how to keep wars going without provoking opposition at home. What follows draws in part on New York Times reporting. Within the administration, rival groupings clashed over Ukraine policy, not over whether U.S. imperialist interests should be defended, but over how.

Ukraine: Negotiations At A Standstill, The War Progresses

December 29, 2025 Moon of Alabama. , , , ,
The speed of progress Russian troops are making has increased. During the last weeks several significant Ukrainian cities – Kupiansk, Siversk, Pokrovsk, Myronograd, Huleipole – have fallen into Russian hands. The Ukrainian command seems to ignore this reality. It took weeks to admit that Siverks had fallen. It still claims to hold ground in Myrnograd and Huleipole. It loudly claims a successful counteroffensive in Kupiansk while its troops there get bombed to smithereens. Meanwhile Russia has widely succeeded in de-energizing Ukraine. Electricity in Ukraine’s big cities is limited to less than 12 hours per day.

European Security Includes Russia

December 20, 2025 Jeffrey Sachs, Consortium News. , , , , ,
Security guarantees are not one-way instruments. They go in both directions. This is not a Russian argument, nor an American one; it is a foundational principle of European security, explicitly embedded in the Helsinki Final Act, the OSCE framework, and decades of postwar diplomacy. Germany has a duty to approach this moment with historical seriousness and honesty. On that score, recent rhetoric and policy choices fall dangerously short. Since 1990, Russia’s core security concerns have been repeatedly dismissed, diluted or directly violated — often with Germany’s active participation or acquiescence.
