Trump’s Politics Starve Our Soldiers: How Neo-liberalism Betrays America’s Military Families

As an American veteran who served in the first Gulf War, I write this reflection with seriousness and lucidity. I will describe how Trump's neo-liberal policies undermine the fundamental role of the military. Then I will describe the unbearable conditions imposed on troops and their families. Finally, I will outline the moral responsibility of patriots to save the military. Here, we will discuss concrete cases: military families affected by the federal government shutdown, food in barracks, federal aid cuts, and the budget impasse. The Institutional and Political Context First, let's recall that the federal government has been shut down since…

Trump and Academic Censorship: How Pro-Palestine Voices Are Being Muzzled in the United States

Over the past month, irrefutable evidence has confirmed Donald Trump's strategy to muzzle pro-Palestine academic voices through federal funding cuts. We will examine how these measures are part of a broader logic of ideological control, how they threaten academic freedom, and how they reveal persistent complicity in Israeli atrocities. Finally, we will propose ways to resist this intellectual retreat by glorifying the critical mission of the university. The Coercive Logic of the "Academic Compact" The Trump administration recently proposed a "Compact for Academic Excellence" linking access to grant funding to ideological reforms. This document called for institutional neutrality, controlled admissions,…

Venezuela Stands Defiant: Trump’s Imperial Gambit and Debunking the US ‘Anti-Drug’ Myth

The conundrum for the United States in Venezuela is the exigent non-surrender of a colossal segment of the population. According to some observers and certain reports, the US military is steadily intensifying its actions against Caracas. Last Saturday, it targeted another boat off the coast of Venezuela, claiming drug trafficking. Gustavo Petro, president of Colombia, has become a vocal critic of Donald Trump's actions. He condemned the targeting of the boat, which caused the deaths of eleven people. He called it "the murder of poor Caribbean youth." Petro rejected the US claim of a war on drugs. He insisted that…

Against All Odds: How Iran Emerged Victorious in the 12-Day U.S.-Israeli War

In this analysis, I strive to proffer a realistic examination of the two wars waged upon Iran—the eight-year war between Iraq and Iran back in the 1980s and then the twelve-day conflict in June 2025—from a US strategic perspective. I will endeavor to demonstrate why, despite the preponderant material power of the adversaries, Iran emerged triumphant in both cases; I shall explore the catalysts and real determinants of asymmetric warfare, its economic and psychological repercussions, and the systemic factors behind the inability of the great powers to adjust to this dynamic. The Geopolitical Context and External Support During the Iran-Iraq…

Trump and the Epstein Case: A Diabolical Scandal

The Jeffrey Epstein affair is a descent into hell, a shattered mirror revealing the rottenness of the powerful. Donald Trump, far from being a stranger to this world, is mired in it up to his neck. In the 1990s and 2000s, he paraded alongside Epstein, laughing at his wedding, appearing at lavish parties, and boarding the sinister "Lolita Express," the jet where luxury and perversion intertwine. This closeness is not an anecdote: it is an indelible stain. How can a man who drapes himself in the toga of the popular savior consort with a monster like Epstein? This question haunts,…

A Catastrophe: Exposing the Israeli-American Failure in the Attack on Iran

Mostly propagated by the Trump administration, the claim that the Israeli attack on Iran was a decisive operation that neutralised the country's nuclear programme is a naive and simplistic narrative. It obscures the strategic debacle faced by Israel and the US. While Israel succeeded in assassinating some Iranian military and scientific officials, which many consider a vivid illustration of state-sponsored terrorism, the Iranian response was swift and structured. Intelligence sources indicate that crucial nuclear facilities, particularly the Fordow enrichment site, were in fact relocated even before the strikes began, rendering the assault largely symbolic, showing Iranians' remarkable adaptability in the…

Scapegoating Immigrants: Trump’s Full-Scale Assault on Our Civil Liberties and Democracy

In the midst of massive displays of support and solidarity with immigrant communities, Donald Trump escalated tensions by sending over 4,100 National Guard members—700 of whom were newly deployed—to Los Angeles, accommodated without proper food or resting facilities. Their arrival marks the first such deployment since 1965, executed without a gubernatorial mandate. The move prompts a critical question: at what point does the military's presence on American soil evolve from safeguarding public security to signalling dictatorship? Trump contends that the so-called “Radical Left” incites protests that threaten public order. Yet an impartial examination reveals the militarisation far exceeds a typical…
