US "friendship" has cost Ukraine the Crimea and soon the Donbass. US friendship with Germany involves putting tens of thousands of US soldiers in the country for "protection" and apparently blowing up German pipelines to force the country to buy US gas. This is really something.

I'd say that this is better than what Bernie was saying in 2016 and 2020.

This is overtly fascist. That's not hyperbole. The real name for the World War 2 fascist Nazi-Italian-Japanese "Axis" was the "Anticommintern Pact" - i.e., the Anti-Communist International.

Trump: Using federal law, I will order my government to deny entry to all Communists and all Marxists.. So we're going to keep foreign Christian hating Communists, Marxists and Socialists out of America

The US Empire is going to go the way of all empires. The big question is: In trying to forestall the inevitable, will the US Empire start a nuclear war and take human civilization down with it?

@majorityfm Why does left-wing, anti-imperialist outlet Consortium News (which has published Mate in the past) get cut off from PayPal--while you and Democracy Now do not?

Has any mainstream outlet published anything on the pretty obvious indications that Epstein was running a massive deep state sexual blackmail operation with apparent sanction from the highest levels of the regime?

The level of police brutality in France is beyond shame. Why is western media silent on this? French police violently beat up protesters.

This captures so perfectly the geopolitics of the US Empire. The US subsumed the Axis and the British Empire in the post-World War 2 US-led capitalist system, making sure decolonization became neocolonialism.

Read Devil's Chessboard and JFK vs. Allen Dulles to understand Wall Street's role in creating the post-WW2 US empire. If you don't have any ideological blinkers, it's easy to understand the corporate avarice that animates the whole enterprise.

I don't comment too much on--or get as invested in--electoral politics these days, but @RobertKennedyJr is much more anti-imperialist than Bernie or MW. Maybe because the US Empire killed his uncle and then his father...

A good write-up. This is the key point--and neither Trump nor Biden would say this: "It is not too late for us to voluntarily let go of empire and serve peace instead, as a strong and healthy nation."

@sahouraxo They got very bad well before. A little after this epic piece from Pilger, they went full McPravda on Ukraine and Russiagate--which to me indicates just how much importance the empire was placing on Project USkraine or whatever we want to call it.
