World War III

We Are Now In World War III

March 11, 2026 Joshua Scheer, Scheer Post. , , , ,
As the U.S.–Israeli assault on Iran enters its second week, economist Jeffrey Sachs is offering the kind of sober, historically literate warning that has been almost entirely erased from mainstream discourse: World War III isn’t looming — it has begun. In a wide‑ranging conversation with journalist Danny Haiphong, Sachs describes a global order unraveling in real time, driven not by strategy but by the erratic impulses of a president he bluntly calls “a madman,” and by a political class too hollowed‑out to restrain him.

On Way Out, Reckless Biden Allows Deep Russia Strikes

November 18, 2024 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
As a parting shot to incoming U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the defeated Joe Biden has defied the Pentagon by risking European and U.S. security with his decision announced Sunday to allow Ukraine to fire U.S. long-range missiles into Russian territory. Just two months ago, in September, Biden had bowed to the realists in the Pentagon to oppose allowing long-range British Storm Shadow missiles from being fired by Ukraine deep into Russia out of fear it would lead to a direct NATO-Russia military confrontation with all that that entails.

Catastrophe At The Ballot Box

October 17, 2024 Jim Kavanagh, Consortium News. , , , , , , , , , , ,
The United States of America is on the verge of World War III in three different theaters. Its social economy and infrastructure are in tatters. It’s actively engaged in genocidal ethnic cleansing — killing tens if not hundreds of thousands of mainly children and women and spitting on every precept of humanitarian and international law — on behalf of an atavistic settler-colonial project. It is more than ever despised and less than ever feared in a world escaping its control. And in this catastrophic conjuncture, the U.S. political and media culture throws up two of the most incompetent figures imaginable to vie for the role of leading us into the abyss.

Ukraine War Turns Into Russian Roulette

September 17, 2024 M. K. Bhadrakumar, Consortium News. , , , , , , , , ,
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with U.S. President Joe Biden in the White House on Friday with the question of the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine to hit deep inside Russia on their agenda of conversation. But there were no announcements, nor was there any joint press conference. Starmer later told the media that the talks were “productive” but concentrated on “strategy” rather than a “particular step or tactic.” He did not signal any decision on allowing Kiev to fire long-range missiles into Russia. Starmer said no final decision had been taken on the Storm Shadow missiles and hinted that further developments may follow at the gathering of the U.N. General Assembly later this month. “We’ll obviously pick up again in UNGA in just a few days time with a wider group of individuals,” he said.

Lavrov At United Nations On Avoiding WWIII

July 17, 2024 Consortium News. , , , , ,
“Let’s face it: not all countries represented in this chamber recognise the key principle of the U.N. Charter which is the sovereign equality of all states,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.N. Security Council on Tuesday. “Speaking through its presidents, the United States has long declared its exceptionalism. This applies to Washington’s attitude towards its allies, whom it demands to be unquestioningly obedient even to the detriment of their national interests. Rule, America! This is the thrust of the notorious ‘rules-based order’ which presents a direct threat to multilateralism and international peace.”
