In opening the Nuremberg Criminal Trial on 21st November 1945, US Prosecutor, Justice Robert Jackson, emphasised the responsibility of the victors in bringing proceedings against Nazi Germany.
And the lofty reason he gave was because the wrongs which the court sought to condemn and punish were deemed “so calculated, malignant and devastating” that civilisation couldn’t tolerate their being … Läs mer “20/12 Why There Won’t Be a Nüremberg 2.0”
Vestlige land argumenterer for at Russland angrep Ukraina i et forsøk på å erobre landet, og «hvis Putin vinner i Ukraina, er det en virkelig risiko for at aggresjonen ikke vil stoppe der». Han vil kunne «angripe også andre land», hevder Jens Stoltenberg.
Men ledelsen i Moskva sier at Russland vil ikke kunne forsvare seg hvis USAs styrker … Läs mer “17/12 Hvordan avsluttes Ukrainakrigen?”
Having failed thus far to ignite Nuclear Armageddon, what’s up next for the U.S. military industrial complex? I’ll tell you: New bases in Europe, 47 of them, to be exact, in Scandinavia in coming years. That’s Joe Biden’s legacy, a blood transfusion to NATO’s moribund carcass by adding Finland and Sweden and thereby ballooning the Empire’s global military … Läs mer “14/12 Biden Aims to Go Out With a Bellicose Bang”
The reports through Western presses read rather familiarly. Joyful residents taking selfies on abandoned, sullen tanks. Armed men ebullient and shooting into the sky with adventurist stupidity. The removal of statues and vulgar reminders of a regime. Prisoners freed; torture prisons emptied. The tyrant, deposed.

Several nations have been loudly cheering the weekend regime change in Syria (some are even taking credit for it). But despite the Islamist faction they were backing ending up taking Damascus, neither the US, Turkey, nor Israel are actually stopping attacks on Syrian territory.

The growing recognition that the ecological question is crucial alongside that of the economic, and that the two are intrinsically related, only serves to clarify the conditions currently facing poor countries. The real choice is not one of development versus the environment, but rather between peripheral capitalist development of underdevelopment determined by conditions of imperialist domination or a … Läs mer “1/12 Marxian Ecology and Sustainable Human Development”
President Biden has never wavered from approving huge arms shipments to Israel during more than 13 months of mass murder and deliberate starvation of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Biden’s crucial role earned him the name “Genocide Joe.”

Trumps ideology, what is it?”

The extreme right-wing Netanyahu regime has enforced … Läs mer “8/3 – Stop the Worsening UNDERCOUNT of Palestinian Casualties in Gaza”

Jeffrey D. Sachs: Covert regime change strikes again. This time in Pakistan.

Denna text skrevs 12:e oktober.
Att läsa den svenska pressens nästan hundraprocentiga försvar av israelisk statsterrorism, och fördömande av Hamas vidriga terrorbrott, påminner en hel del om att läsa den ryska statspressen under yran av de ryska terrorattackerna mot Ukraina sedan hösten förra året.
