by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) https://antiracist.org/project-2024-agenda-47-and-conflicts-within-the-right/ It would be wrong to assume  that Donald J.

The MADness of the Resurgent U.S. Cold War on Russia

by Nicolas J. S. Davies The war in Ukraine has placed U.S. and NATO policy toward Russia under a spotlight, highlighting how the United States and its allies have expanded NATO right up to Russia’s borders, backed a coup and now a proxy war in Ukraine, imposed waves of economic sanctions, and launched a debilitating trillion-dollar arms race.
