The unprecedented increase in military spending last year shows that it is assumed there will be more wars. That is why armament is being pursued according to the principle: “If you want peace, prepare for war.” Young people are to become “fit for war” again, and many countries are discussing the introduction of compulsory military service....

“Studies on the history of the German-Soviet war all too often ignore the simple fact that (!) the German invasion of the USSR on June 22, 1941, was primarily motivated by economic objectives, namely to conquer ‘living space in the East,’” writes historian Rolf-Dieter Müller. Joseph Goebbels declared that it was a “war for grain and bread, for a fully stocked breakfast, lunch, and dinner"...

The dismissal of Swedish Dockworkers Union (SDU) spokesperson and national deputy chair Erik Helgeson is a blatant act of retaliation for the union’s legally-sanctioned boycott of military cargo to and from Israel. This dismissal represents an attack on trade union rights, freedom of speech, and the democratic decision made by dockworkers across Sweden....

In EU countries, the extremely effective propaganda narrative of “evil Putin's unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine” is particularly well established in the mainstream media, without reasonable counter-voices being able to find a wider audience in public, as their representatives are regularly defamed and marginalized, for example as “Putin sympathizers”....

The exaggeration of the Russian threat is notorious. The fear of Russia has served the US ruling circles [and the military-industrial complex] well for more than seventy years. In 1948 they began to stir up fear of war in order to save the US aircraft industry, which almost collapsed at the end of the Second World War....

The enraged American outcry this week over the security leak on the US bombing of civilian targets in Yemen on March 15--and apparently continuing--exposed the surreal bipartisan "debate" in Washington DC. Both war-coddling parties concentrated their bitter partisan vitriol on each other, but completely sidestepped and evaded the elephant in the room, i.e., that the unilateral attack on Yemen--which apparently did not initially target U.S. shipping or military--is illegal under internation...

Over a million dead and injured, and the danger of the war spreading as a result of further NATO missile deliveries to Ukraine are increasing pressure on the German government to work for a ceasefire. Negotiate now!!...

On the basis of Musk's plans, Trump's new administration froze the majority of USAID's funds for an initial period of 90 days starting on January 24. Only about 300 of a total of 10,000 employees were to be allowed to continue their work. On Friday, a U.S. court blocked the dismissal of over 2,000 employees in the U.S. and the withdrawal of employees from abroad, initially until February 14....

On the evening of March 8, 2025, Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil was detained by the Department of Homeland Security. The arrest comes on the heels of the Department of State’s announcement that it plans to deport students affiliated with pro-Palestine protests. The student, who is Palestinian, is a lawful permanent resident of the U.S....

Jews worldwide refuse to support horrific atrocities in the name of their religion: “Not in our name!” Non-Jewish Germans can also join them precisely because of a historical experience that includes the dehumanization of entire groups of people. They can express their solidarity with a people that has been sacrificed to imperial power interests for over 100 years....

To Trump, a win-win is a loss, because a win-win means some other country also wins, not only you, the United States. And if some other country also wins, that means the United States has not grabbed everything there is to grab, and Trump wants to grab everything that is available, the entire economic surplus....

As president, Donald Trump is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States and he is ultimately responsible for all military activity that happens on his watch. The Black Hawk US Army helicopter was flying in and around Washington, DC for "training" - no doubt for some nefarious Trump purpose related to his fear and hatred of migrants - and Trump has full responsibility for its crash into the American Airlines jet that was just arriving from Wichita....
