Our readers are familiar with the arguments put forward by the “Collective West” to justify the wars currently underway — and likely those to come as well; they are well known and need not be repeated ad nauseam; they are hollow and utterly disingenuous. As a consequence of these “justifications,” the West views Russians as aggressive subhumans who will attack the West to achieve their imperialist goals — not for the first time, but time and again. Yet every time, it was the West that attacked and brought death and destruction upon Russia.

The opposition leader has sought to give his troops a rev-up in the joint Coalition party room, telling the room that 'project Albanese has failed'.

His broad speech covered everything from interest rate hikes and fuel prices, to coal-mine approvals, immigration policy and defence spending.

It echoed the speech Angus Taylor gave to CPAC over the weekend, where he sought to convince the conservative heartland the Coalition was "the most credible alternative government".

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage on Monday called Ukraine one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

"Look, you know, this is one of the most corrupt countries on Earth. All right, we know that. I've been very, very worried about where some of our money has gone... Zelensky's administration has been rocked by corruption claims, which perhaps makes at some point a general election there an important thing to do," Farage said at a press conference.

At the same time, the politician said that it is still necessary to support Kiev. In this regard, it is important to closely follow the situation, so corrupt official do not take the UK taxpayers' money, he added.

Donald Trump is thrashing about wildly as if to escape somehow the fate that awaits him in the US midterm elections in three weeks. He thinks he is impressing the world with his immense power. In truth, he is demonstrating the impotence of power.

Ricardo Lopez Tugendhat believed he was going to die and wanted the world to know who he thought was going to kill him.

The former manager at a mining company linked to Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart spelt out his fears in a chilling letter to an Ecuadorian news outlet. 

“Being familiar with the character and temperament of Mr Carlos de Miguel III, I am deeply concerned that the threats I have received from him … are carried out,” read the letter, published by the outlet.

“I hereby publicly hold the aforementioned Carlos de Miguel III responsible for any attack against the life or physical integrity of my family or myself.”

Pope Leo has condemned capital punishment as an attack on human dignity amid growing criticism of the US military’s plans to livestream the execution of the convicted Fort Hood shooter.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced last week that Nidal Malik Hasan would face a military firing squad on December 3. President Donald Trump has confirmed that he personally authorized the broadcast.

Writing on X on Saturday on the international World Day Against the Death Penalty, Leo criticized capital punishment as a concept, but did not name Hasan or directly address the livestream.

In this speech, James Curran reflects on Paul Keating’s foreign policy legacy and argues that Australia has lost the strategic confidence and autonomy needed to shape its own future in a changing Asia.

The arc of Australian political culture has been stretched a long way from March 1996 when Paul Keating left the Lodge.

Then, his ‘big picture’ was farewelled – some thought for good – from the stage at Bankstown Sports Club as he conceded defeat to John Howard.

WE HAVE EXPOSED THIS CONUNDRUM BEFORE [16 March 2026]... BUT IT IS COMFORTING TO SEE IT BEING DISCUSSED BY CNN TODAY... 

The Iran war was supposed to be a short, sharp strike that brought down the regime within a few weeks. Instead, the US finds itself enmeshed in a conflict that’s upending the world’s energy system.

The Russian war against Ukraine is now half-way through its fifth year, rapidly approaching the length of World War II. The European NATO countries have become more and more heavily drawn into that conflict, which many observers believe has already cost more than a million lives.

“Asking why Russia did not end the war quickly is asking the wrong question.. It does not want to end it quickly. It wants to win it deeply. It wants that, at the end of this conflict, it is not just a flag that changes on a building, but an entire era that comes to a close.”

Many continue to repeat, with a disconcerting naivety, that Russia, with its military power, could have crushed Ukraine in just a few weeks.

Two German opposition parties have called for restoring economic ties with Russia following US President Donald Trump’s example in striking a diesel deal with Moscow, challenging Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s sanctions policy as soaring fuel prices put further pressure on Europe’s largest economy.

The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the left-wing Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), which together command a majority in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt’s parliament, are preparing a joint resolution demanding an end to anti-Russia sanctions and financial support for Kiev amid growing frustration over Berlin’s foreign policy and its economic consequences.

The crisis of media freedom in Kenya is not only about journalists being prevented from speaking. It is also about which stories receive airtime, who controls the platforms, who finances journalism, whose history is preserved and whose voices are allowed to disappear.

For more than 15 years, I have worked as a social-justice radio host at Ghetto Radio 89.5 FM, creating space for communities whose experiences are frequently underrepresented in mainstream media.

The experience has revealed a deeper problem.

Kenya does not only have a crisis of media freedom. It has a crisis of media memory.

The ABC platformed an Israel lobbyist last month without disclosure in blatant breach of much that the once-venerable broadcaster purports to stand for. Cathy Peters with the story.

In a pre-recorded interview for ABC Radio National’s Global Roaming program on September 22, Geraldine Doogue platformed Andrew Roberts, aka Lord Roberts of Belgravia, in a program titled, “Can the centre hold? Lord Andrew Roberts on extremism and antisemitism”.
