Trump’s Picks Are All Neocon Warhawks Ferociously Devoted to Israel

By Mike Whitney, November 15, 2024

If George W. Bush was elected to a third term in office, this is what his cabinet would look like. Rubio, Waltz, Stefanik, Hegseth. Not a peacenik among them. Not an antiwar candidate among them. Not even a non-interventionist among them. Every single pick is a hard-boiled, right-wing war-hawk that is committed to marching in lockstep with the world’s most notorious pariah-state, Israel.

They Were There First: Election Denialism, the Democratic Way

By Dr. Binoy Kampmark, November 14, 2024

2016 might have given the Democrats meditative pause as to why Trump was elected.  Even more significantly, why Trump’s election was more apotheosis rather than gnarly distortion.  Instead of vanishing as aberrant over the Biden years, Trumpism has come home to roost in winning, not only the Electoral College but the majority vote by convincing margins.

By Drago Bosnic, November 14, 2024

The involvement of Western European powers in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict is no secret. The once powerful countries were leading the charge in terms of (neo)colonialism for centuries, but as their might started fading away, with the irony of history (or one could even say “karma”), they’ve also become someone’s colonies, vassals and satellite states.

The US Is Unlikely to Coerce Zelensky Into Holding Elections Without a Ceasefire First

By Andrew Korybko, November 14, 2024

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) published a statement on Monday alleging that “Washington is considering holding presidential and parliamentary elections [in Ukraine] next year in the context of continued hostilities with Russia.” The purpose is to act “As one of the ‘legitimate’ ways to eliminate the ‘overly presumptuous’ V.
