Resist Rubio’s McCarthyite Attacks on Cuba, the Black Freedom Struggle, and the Left

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) At a recent international gathering of right-wing states and parties, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, angling to run again for US president as a MAGA hard-liner this time, delivered a speech and a 100+ page document attacking Cuba, the Black freedom struggle in the US, and anything to the left of MAGA, as violence-prone communists intent on subversion. This new McCarthyism seeks to [...]

Imperialism-Induced Fault Lines

The Venezuelan Earthquake By Chris Gilbert and Cira Pascual Marquina [Excerpts] https://mronline.org/2026/06/29/imperialism-induced-fault-lines-the-venezuelan-earthquake/ There is no such thing as a purely natural disaster, especially in a country under siege. Likewise, the response to any disaster is always mediated by social, political, and even geopolitical factors. Following the devastating 1812 earthquake that occurred during the independence struggle, Simón Bolívar said: “If nature opposes us, we will fight against it and make it obey us.” [...]

Avoiding the “Thucydides Trap”

by Alex Lo, South China Morning Post https://www.scmp.com/opinion/china-opinion/article/3353953/chinas-rise-will-turn-thucydides-trap-its-head [Excerpt] It was no accident that President Xi Jinping cited the “Thucydides Trap” during his summit in Beijing with Trump, putting it forward as something for both superpowers to avoid. The theory, popularized by Harvard political scientist Graham Allison, digs into an episode in Greek history to warn against the danger of war between a rising power and a declining one. Meanwhile, more scholars [...]

Turkish naval strategist warns US blockade risks global economic collapse

Washington’s war on Iran has exposed the limits of US power, accelerated the decline of the petrodollar system, and pushed the world toward a systemic rupture. https://thecradle.co/articles/turkish-naval-strategist-warns-us-blockade-risks-global-economic-collapse Last year, retired Rear Admiral Cem Gurdeniz warned The Cradle that NATO had become a hollow alliance and that Turkiye's future lay in a sovereign Eurasian alignment.

Trump Steps Up Attacks on Vessels in the Eastern Pacific

On the heels of his deadly attacks on small boats in the Caribbean, Trump has escalated with a new wave of attacks on vessels in the "eastern Pacific" off the coast of Latin America. US forces have attacked and sunk several with the same spurious claim that they are "narco-terrorists".

The US-Israeli War on Iran—and Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy

The War on Iran—and Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies The United States has once again launched a war in the Middle East based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. assault on Iran rests on allegations that international inspectors have already debunked. But beyond the false pretext lies an even more pressing question that few [...]

Why the US-Israeli Alliance Will Lose against Iran

by Robert Inlakesh  https://english.almayadeen.net [Excerpts] If it were easy to launch a regime change operation against Iran, it would have been carried out many years ago. While it is impossible to predict precisely what the war on the Islamic Republic of Iran and its regional allies will result in, the ability to win the regional conflict is clear. The only thing driving this attack is sheer Israeli arrogance, as there is no [...]
