Can Decentralized Energy Prevent The Next Crisis?

September 7, 2026 John P. Ruehl, Counter Punch. , , , , , ,
After International Energy Agency executive director Fatih Birol labeled the ongoing global energy turmoil the “biggest energy security threat in history” in April, events over the summer vindicated his warning. The United States authorized the grid operator Southwest Power Pool, Inc. to use backup generation resources in 17 states it serves amid growing demand and extreme heat in late July, while droughts forced European nuclear plants to reduce or halt operations in August. EU gas stocks reached a record low during the last week of August, and Bangladesh further tightened restrictions on business operating hours as its gas shortage worsened.

Russia Vows ‘Proportionate Response’ To Ukrainian Strikes

August 20, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned on 20 August that Moscow will continue to retaliate against Ukrainian attacks on civilians and infrastructure, while emphasizing that escalation is “not Russia's choice.” “The Russian Armed Forces will respond proportionately to emerging threats and continue the special military operation in order to accomplish the tasks set by President Vladimir Putin,” Zakharova said in an interview with Izvestia, adding that Kiev has demonstrated a "complete unwillingness to negotiate.” “Escalation is not our choice,” she stated.

Iran Called Off Strikes On Ukraine After Apology From Kiev

August 4, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Major General Mohsen Rezaei, senior military adviser to Iran's supreme leader, revealed on 4 August that Tehran was preparing to launch three retaliatory strikes against locations in Ukraine before Kiev “apologized” for an attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea. “We were ready to attack three different points in Ukraine, but after they publicly apologized for attacking our ship, we decided to refrain from escalating tensions,” Rezaei said in the interview.  Iranian spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Esmail Baghaei rejected claims by Ukrainian officials saying the strike was unintentional.

Ukraine Demonstrates It Is A Mercenary For Western Imperialism

August 3, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
It has been nearly four and a half years since the Russian intervention into Ukraine instigated by the United States and other Western nations. Ukraine, through its alliances with terrorist organizations on the African continent and in Syria, and now through its attack on an Iranian civilian ship, is demonstrating that it is a tool of Western imperialism. Clearing the FOG speaks with Phil Wilayto of the Odessa Solidarity Campaign about the long history of Ukraine's far right white supremacy elements, the 2014 US-backed coup and the West's efforts to prolong the war on Russia to serve their imperialist interests. 

Fascist Ukraine Vs Anti-Fascist Ukraine

August 2, 2026 Workers World. , , ,
On Aug. 5, some 92 anti-fascist political prisoners incarcerated in Ukraine will go on a hunger strike to denounce the brutal conditions of their imprisonment and the torture they are suffering. While the alternative press has published articles on the fascist nature of the Ukrainian regime established through a coup d’état in 2014 — the Euromaidan — which elevated Nazi organizations to the leadership of the state, particularly to control the repressive forces, much less is known about the persecution unleashed against those who have the courage to oppose them.

US Merges Wars In Eurasia, West Asia

July 30, 2026 M. K. Bhadrakumar, Consortium News. , , ,
On Friday, even as U.S. President Donald Trump was announcing the end of the latest round of the conflict with Iran, the Pentagon unobtrusively extended the war theatre to the Caspian Sea in a hugely consequential geopolitical thrust. The incident hardly figured in the Western news cycle. But CGTN (China Global Television Network), perhaps sensing that the U.S. could be stealthily spreading its war to the Caspian region, reported on July 25,  “U.S. missiles struck a Revolutionary Guards Navy headquarters in the Ziba Kenar area of the Caspian Sea province of Gilan, according to a security official in Gilan quoted by Iranian media. Provincial authorities said U.S. projectiles had also struck the port city of Bandar Anzali, according to the Iranian Labor News Agency.” 

Ukraine’s Attack On Iranian Vessel Aims To Drag Europe Into War

July 28, 2026 Press TV, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
In a strongly worded post on X on Sunday, Araghchi said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy orchestrated the attack on the Iranian commercial vessel that left one sailor dead. He added that the attack constituted a “blatant” violation of the United Nations Charter. The top Iranian diplomat noted that he raised the issue in separate phone calls with European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. He said he made clear during the conversations that the attack “cannot go unanswered.”

The Enduring US War On Russia

July 22, 2026 Jeffrey D. Sachs and Sybil Fares, Consortium News. , , , ,
In his farewell address of January 1961, Dwight Eisenhower warned Americans against the “acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex,” and the danger that “public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” Sixty-five years on, Eisenhower’s warnings have been repeatedly and tragically vindicated. American democracy hangs by a thread, while the military-industrial complex, now including Silicon Valley, runs American foreign policy over the objections of the American people.

Ukraine Isn’t Winning

June 29, 2026 Moon of Alabama. , , ,
There is an ongoing Ukrainian propaganda campaign to depict the country as winning the conflict with Russia. The campaign is accompanied by drone attacks on energy targets within Russia. While burning fuel tanks at this or that of many Russian refineries may look impressive the effects on Russia have so fare been mere nuances. Ongoing drone attacks on Crimea have led to inconveniences for the inhabitants of the island. The Ukrainian campaign is supported by the Europeans who are trying to pull the U.S. back into the conflict. The U.S. however had never left.

Kremlin Warns Of ‘Devastating Response’ To Massive Drone Attack

June 20, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Moscow’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned on 18 June that an attack by any NATO country would instigate a “decisive and devastating” retaliation, following what has been described as the largest Ukrainian air attack on Russia in years. “Once again, I would like to emphasize that in the event of aggression by any NATO state against any Russian region, our response will be decisive and devastating for those who initiate such a reckless move,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova declared.  "And no brigade commanders of the West, as they call themselves, no capabilities, potential, or defense lines will help them.

West Says Ukraine Is Now ´Winning´ And Why It Is Lying Again

June 2, 2026 Brian Berletic, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
A recent article published in the Kyiv Independent titled “Is Ukraine starting to win the war again?” tests the maxim that if you need to ask, the answer is probably “no.” As the collective Western media has done since 2022, the Kyiv Independent cites “flatlined” Russian territorial gains and expanding drone strikes deep inside Russian territory (the article attributes them to Ukraine despite the New York Times admitting such strikes are enabled by the US Central Intelligence Agency and the US military) — all as evidence of growing Russian weakness and increasing Ukrainian strength.

The Cokehead Of Kiev, Exposed

May 26, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , ,
You see very few blue-above-yellow banners on front lawns and porches these days, and those that remain are always bleached pale by sun and rain. I like the ones the winds have frayed so they droop like worn-out kitchen rags. Flying a Ukrainian flag such that your neighbors knew of your brave commitment to democracy, liberty, “values” and all that was for a long time the ne plus ultra in the virtue-signaling line. Have these people finally realized that the corrupt, Nazi–infested regime in Kiev offers no virtue to signal? This is a good thing if it is so: There are limits even to the pleasure one can take in the foolishness of liberals.

Ukraine’s Secret Al Qaeda Invasion Of Africa

May 24, 2026 Kit Klarenberg, Scheer Post. , , ,
On May 13th, French outlet RTL published an explosive report, entirely unremarked upon by English language media. It exposed how Ukrainian military and intelligence units are covertly operating in Mali on France’s behalf, in coordination with both ethnic Tuareg rebels and Al Qaeda-linked forces determined to crush the country’s revolutionary government. Furthermore, Kiev is keen to expand and escalate its African operations yet further, and destabilise neighbouring countries. Ukrainian militancy, long-encouraged by the CIA and MI6, has now decisively developed into an international threat.

12 Years Since Odessa Massacre, A Warning Of Fascist Danger

May 3, 2026 Struggle - La Lucha. , , ,
May 2 is the 12th anniversary of the Odessa massacre, when Ukrainian neo-Nazis murdered at least 46 antifascist workers and youths at the Odessa House of Trade Unions. This crime against humanity was subsequently covered up by the U.S.-backed coup regime in Kiev.  Groups and individuals who participated in the massacre were elevated to the status of heroes and incorporated into the Ukrainian Armed Forces and police agencies, while survivors were imprisoned or driven into exile.  The Odessa massacre was one of the key incidents that set the stage for the ongoing U.S.-EU-NATO proxy war against Russia in Donbass and Ukraine.

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

April 18, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , ,
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.
