Pentagon Ramps Up Preparations For Potential Attack On Cuba

April 16, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , ,
The Pentagon has increased its preparations for a possible attack on Cuba, according to media reports, as President Trump has made clear that war against the island nation may be his next military intervention. Zeteo first reported the ramped-up plans for war with Cuba, saying that in recent days, “officials at the Pentagon and elsewhere in the US government were quietly given a new directive that came straight from the Trump White House. The message: ramp up your preparations for possible military operations against Cuba.” USA Today affirmed the Zeteo scoop.

NATO At A Breaking Point

April 14, 2026 Stasa Salacanin, The Cradle. , , , ,
The war in Iran and US President Donald Trump’s renewed push to annex Greenland have triggered what may be the deepest fracture in the 77-year history of the NATO alliance.  By early April 2026, relations between the US and its European allies appear to have reached a breaking point, with European leaders openly discussing “Plan B” security arrangements that no longer depend on American guarantees. A fragile two-week ceasefire with Iran, agreed on 8 April, has done little to restore confidence. The following day, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte emerged from a high-stakes meeting failing to secure a clear US commitment to the alliance. 

Iran’s Drones, The Strait Of Hormuz And The New World Order

April 11, 2026 Sara Flounders, Workers World. , , ,
On April 8, the people of Iran celebrated. And as Iran’s government announced, their military will keep its finger on the trigger. This implies not a moment of trust of U.S. imperialism, which violates every agreement it makes. A ceasefire based on Iran’s 10 points and a refusal to concede to  even one of the U.S.’s 15 points is an enormous victory. Iran is steadfast, bold and incredibly well prepared. The Iranian people stayed united. That unity is what the U.S. regime tried to break. It tried to break the united resistance in Cuba for the last 67 years, and in China for the last 77 years.

The MAGA Plan To ‘Take Out’ Progressive Leaders Worldwide

April 11, 2026 Geoff Dembicki, DeSmog. , , ,
A few weeks ago, Viktor Orbán reminisced about the election of the current American president before a cheering crowd at a conference in Budapest organized by ultra-conservative American political operatives. “I remember one year ago, we jointly celebrated the victory of President Donald Trump. It was a fabulous success for the patriotic forces of the world,” Hungary’s prime minister, the leader of the right-wing nationalist Fidesz party, told CPAC Hungary, according to an English translation of his remarks. However, he warned, the global expansion of Trump’s MAGA movement still faces threats, such as his opposition in Hungary’s upcoming parliamentary elections who — despite Orbán’s systematic warping of the electoral system since 2010 to keep himself in power — stand a real chance of ousting Orbán and his Fidesz majority.

Millions Lose Food Aid As Trump’s Budget Law Reshapes SNAP

April 10, 2026 Alexis Sterling, Nation of Change. , , ,
Millions of low-income Americans have already lost access to federal food assistance following enactment of the Republican budget law signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025, according to new analysis examining changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Data published by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows SNAP participation fell by 6 percent between July 2025 and December 2025, representing 2.5 million fewer people receiving benefits nationwide. The decline occurred shortly after Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, also identified as H.R. 1, into law.

Trump Administration Orders Dismantling Of The US Forest Service

April 10, 2026 Jim Pattiz, Hatch Magazine. , , , ,
Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution. They’re ripping the headquarters out of Washington and shipping it to Salt Lake City, Utah — the beating heart of the anti-public-lands movement in America. They’re shuttering every single one of the ten regional offices that have governed this agency since Gifford Pinchot built the system over a century ago — and with them, the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back when politicians came calling with bad ideas and worse motives.

Inside The US F-15E Rescue Cover-Up

April 9, 2026 Robert Inlakesh, Mintpress News. , , ,
The F-15E rescue Iran operation, sold by the Trump administration as a ‘biblical’ triumph, stands exposed as one of the most costly and contradictory failures in modern military history. Not only did it set back the US taxpayer over $300 million dollars, Iran now claims that they foiled an attempt to seize the nation’s highly enriched uranium – explains geopolitical analyst Robert Inlakesh in this week’s MintPress Livestream. A triumphant success of biblical proportions, was the way US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth described his nation’s mission to evacuate two fighter pilots, whose F-15E fighter jet was downed over Iran’s Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province.

Anti War Action Network Calls For National Day Of Action On Tax Day

April 8, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
The Anti War Action Network (AWAN) called for a national day of action on Tax Day, April 15, to protest Trump’s costly war on Iran. President Trump has asked Congress to authorize an additional $200 billion for his war on Iran while at the same time cutting funding to scientific research, environmental protection, and various social programs including housing assistance, Medicaid and SNAP. From the AWAN post on their Instagram @antiwaractionnetwork, “Organize an action in your community for Tax Day – April 15th – to show that we want our tax dollars spent on human needs like education and healthcare instead of bombing schools and destroying hospitals in Iran!”

Trump Says A ‘Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight’ In Iran

April 7, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , , ,
President Trump on Tuesday issued another threat against Iran, saying a “whole civilization will die tonight,” raising fears that he’s threatening to use nuclear weapons. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” the president wrote on Truth Social. He went on to reference his deadline that he previously set for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or agree to some sort of diplomatic deal by 8 pm EST tonight, but there’s no sign that real negotiations are taking place.

Trump’s Iran War Is Not Going Great For The NATO+ Alliance

April 7, 2026 Vijay Prashad, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
US President Donald Trump has become increasingly unhinged as the war on Iran has not gone as he imagined. Both the United States and Israel felt that a series of domination strikes against Iran would decapitate the leadership of the country and force the remaining mid-level leaders into surrender. The miscalculation of the Trump-Netanyahu agenda has been total: a depth of wartime leadership has emerged within Iran, the public stands united to defend their homeland, and because of Iran’s strategic use of the Strait of Hormuz, it is the United States, and not Iran, that is now suing for peace.

Chris Hedges Report: Will There Be A Ground Invasion Of Iran?

April 4, 2026 Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
More than one month into the American-Israeli war on Iran, the US military has expended a significant amount of its arsenal and many billions of dollars without making any progress in meeting its illusory and often-changing objectives. As the White House and Pentagon, and the markets, panic, the United States has begun deploying troops and resources to the region in preparation for a possible ground assault. This raises significant questions about what type of campaign the US is capable of waging and whether, as analysts are saying, fighting the Iranian military on its own terrain would be a bloodbath for US troops.

Trouble For Nexstar Merger That Would Create Mega-Network For MAGA

April 4, 2026 Pete Tucker, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , , ,
It’s not exactly breaking news that President Donald Trump endlessly attacks the media, or that his administration lapdogs quickly echo his gripes. But there’s one official who has stood apart, and he’s done so by not only mimicking Trump, but by remaking the US media in his boss’s image, most recently by rushing through local TV broadcast giant Nexstar’s takeover of Tegna. “Unlike his predecessors, Carr isn’t just another corporate lawyer,” Rolling Stone’s Matt Bai (3/17/26) wrote about Brendan Carr, Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chair: He is a cultural claims adjuster, a pasty-faced, soft-spoken agent of Trump’s retribution. If you were going to single out the most dangerous functionary in Trump’s little circle of Hell, you’d have plenty of candidates…. But don’t sleep on Brendan Carr. His legacy of awfulness may yet prove more durable.

Trump Says The United States Can’t Afford Day Care

April 3, 2026 Gary Wilson, Struggle-La Lucha. , , , , , , ,
Stocks fell before Trump finished speaking in his April Fool’s address to the nation. Oil jumped to $109 a barrel. Asian markets dropped. Futures tied to the S&P 500 slid. Borrowing costs rose as the bond market, already strained by weeks of war spending, took another hit. This was not a reaction to the battlefield. It was a reaction to the president of the United States standing before the country with no way out of the war. Trump declared victory and threatened more bombing in the same breath. He said Iran’s military was finished, then promised strikes on power plants and oil facilities in the coming weeks.

International Citizen Solidarity Is Strong For Cuba; Nations Turn Their Backs

March 30, 2026 Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , ,
As 700 international solidarity citizens visited Cuba last weekend, Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio smirked at the humanitarian disaster his and Trump’s policies were wrecking on Cuba, as small island nation of 9 million people only 90 miles off the tip of Florida. Rubio had  predicted the Cuban government would fall from the disastrous policies, particularly the blockade of fuel to the island. But Rubio’s plan was partially upended on Sunday night, March 29, when President Trump decided to allow a Russian oil tanker carrying 100 tons of oil to deliver it to Cuba.

Israel Is Making Sure Trump Can’t Find An Off-Ramp In Iran

March 30, 2026 Jonathan Cook, Middle East Eye. , , ,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must have persuaded Donald Trump that a war on Iran would unfold much like the pager attack in Lebanon 18 months ago.  The two militaries would jointly decapitate the leadership in Tehran, and it would crumble just as Hezbollah had collapsed - or so it then seemed - after Israel assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese group’s spiritual leader and military strategist. If so, Trump bought deeply into this ruse. He assumed that he would be the US president to "remake the Middle East" - a mission his predecessors had baulked at since George W Bush’s dismal failure to achieve the same goal, alongside Israel, more than 20 years earlier.
