Ally or not, no one with a decent sense of self-preservation can afford to take a security guarantee by the United States at face value nowadays.

People often make a situation worse because they are unhappy with the status quo. The United States is doing exactly that over Taiwan. In doing so, it is, as PLA Major-General Hu Gangfeng said, destabilising the whole region.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth made headline news at the Shangri-La Dialogue for regional security in Singapore last week by warning of “devastating consequences” if China tried to “conquer” Taiwan.

NATO is going to keep discussions of Ukraine “short” at its upcoming annual summit in the Netherlands in order to avoid provoking US President Donald Trump, Reuters has reported, citing the organizers of the event.

The summit is scheduled to take place in The Hague on June 24 and 25. Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, who had once been a regular guest of honor at NATO events following the escalation of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev in February 2022, has not been officially invited to attend yet.

The European NATO members are “desperate to avoid upsetting a volatile Trump” during the summit, Reuters said in an article on Friday.

I won't give you the names of the Zionists in our intelligentsia who maintain that the IDF is the most moral army in the world, that it spares Palestinian civilians as much as possible.

There are too many of these Hitlerites without foreskin. They have their own place in our media.

I won't give you the names of the Zionists in our intelligentsia who maintain that there is no such thing as an innocent Palestinian, that they elected Hamas and use children as shields.

There are too many of these Hitlerites without foreskin. They have their own place in our media.

I won't give you the names of the Zionists in our intelligentsia who claimed that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict began on October 7, 2023.

For all the alarming seriousness of two South Asian nuclear powers coming to the razor’s edge of a lethal exchange, the 2025 India–Pakistan war could not but contain elements of a Bollywood extravaganza. 

Frantic dancing indeed, which risked getting out of control pretty fast. Forget dodgy, plodding UN mediation or any serious investigation of the suspicious attack out of the blue on tourists in India-held Kashmir.

Right off the bat, on 7 May, India's Modi government dramatically launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ against Pakistan, a missile offensive billed as “counter-terrorism.” Pakistan immediately launched a counterpunch codenamed ‘Operation Bunyan al-Marsus’ against the “Indian invasion.”

Biden’s autopen Investigation points to top aides profiting off taxpayer-funded programs. As Senate investigators close in, new whistleblower claims expose Biden’s daily actions—and Karine Jean-Pierre leaves the democratic party as she cashes in on years of spin in her new book.

BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Friday, a day after meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House, that he encountered a U.S. administration open to discussion and returned confident that Washington remains committed to NATO.

Merz described his Oval Office meeting and extended lunch with Trump as constructive but also candid, noting that the two leaders expressed different views on Ukraine.

THE PICTURE ABOVE (from DW) IS SYMPTOMATIC OF HOPELESS HOPE... ART HAS RARELY CHANGED POLITICAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADERSHIP, EVEN IF IT HAS HELPED US UNDERSTAND OUR POSITION. ART HAS NEVER WON ANY WARS... Are we on the right side of history... is the correct question....

ALL ART DOES IS HELP US COPE WITH DEFEAT — EXPLAIN THE COLOUR OF OUR HORSE OR GIVE US A METHOD TO CELEBRATE A WIN... IT TOOK SOME SIXTY YEARS FOR KARL MARX ARTFUL VISION TO AFFECT ONE COUNTRY, WHILE IRKING MANY OTHERS... ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS LATER, WE ARE STILL RESISTING THE VISION... WHICH HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCES....

SO SHOULD ART BE CONDEMNED TO MUSEUM, ART GALLERIES OR BE A DECORATION ON A BOURGEOIS WALL?... DO WE ADMIRE ART FOR THE SKILLS OR THE MESSAGE? 

WE HAVE EXPLORED THIS SUBJECT MANY TIMES:

Russian forces are making significant advances in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region as part of a broader effort to establish a buffer zone along the border, according to Major General Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat Special Forces.

In an interview, Alaudinov said Russian troops were capturing settlements daily and described the Ukrainian military as facing “serious problems” on multiple fronts. He confirmed the capture of two U.S.-supplied Abrams tanks, which he described as outdated, and credited modern Russian tactics, including fiber-optic-guided FPV drones, for the momentum. Alaudinov dismissed concerns about weather conditions, saying Russian operations continue regardless of seasonal terrain challenges.

While most of us are transfixed daily by more horrific atrocities, potentially deadlier operations are likely to far outlast the genocide in Gaza.

In late May, 200 space industrialists and techno-militarists met in Sydney and discussed Elon Musk’s plan to colonise and weaponise the moon and Mars. From the windows of the Darling Harbour convention centre, they could see a smaller but equally earnest gathering of protesters holding banners. Their songs and free speech could not be heard because police disallowed the use of microphones.

Two very rich and very powerful and very big American egos have had a very public and very loud cat fight.

A US military mega-contractor assisting an Australian company to develop a proposal for a nuclear waste dump in Central Australia has a flawed safety record in handling nuclear waste storage.

In Alice Springs, Central Arrernte Country, the giant American military contractor, Amentum Holdings, is responsible for the day-to-day running of facilities for the secretive US-Australian Pine Gap satellite surveillance base. Now it’s involved in developing a proposed nuclear waste dump in Central Australia.

It could hardly be more evident that the true intention of the US government in holding the so-called "Summit for Democracy" has nothing to do with promoting democracy, but serving the undemocratic purpose of maintaining US hegemony.

So-called US democracy merely hegemony in disguise

Absurdly asserting itself as a "paragon of democracy," the US government turns a blind eye to a multitude of problems at home caused by the deterioration and dysfunction of its own democratic system and turns a deaf ear to the widespread criticism of its decision to hold the so-called "Summit for Democracy".

In an age of fake news and half-truths, the radical potential of democracy is more important than ever, as this nimble, illuminating history by a celebrated political theorist reveals.

From its beginnings in Syria-Mesopotamia – and not Athens – to its role in fomenting revolutionary fervour in France and America, democracy has subverted fixed ways of deciding who should enjoy power and privilege, and why. For democracy encourages people to do something radical – to come together as equals, to determine their own lives and futures.

The view presented here from a geopolitical perspective is intended as a set of arguments for two upcoming referendums that are of existential importance for Switzerland: The Framework Treaty with the EU and the Neutrality Initiative. At the very moment when the crisis of the EU and NATO and their failure in the Ukraine war are becoming apparent, the so-called centre-left majority in the Swiss parliament is pushing forward the rapprochement with these institutions of the former European colonial powers.
