A Faustian Pact: How the Saudi Prince Bought His Redemption at the White House

A Faustian Pact: How the Saudi Prince Bought His Redemption at the White House

The visit of the notorious Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (also known by his initials, MBS) to Washington the week of November 18, 2025, will go down in the annals of realpolitik as a masterclass in cynicism. In the opulent setting of the Oval Office, President Donald Trump offered a leader implicated in the brutal murder of a journalist the most precious gift: a public absolution. This carefully choreographed spectacle—fighter jets in formation a red carpet, warm handshakes—was anything but conventional diplomacy. It was the central transaction in a fool's bargain where Saudi Arabia, portrayed as America's cash cow,…

Trump’s “Christian Crusade” in Nigeria: America’s New Pretext to Plunder Africa

Trump’s “Christian Crusade” in Nigeria: America’s New Pretext to Plunder Africa

Under the guise of defending Christians in Nigeria, Donald Trump is brandishing a military threat with imperial overtones. Behind the religious rhetoric, one logic remains: to control Africa and its strategic resources. Our president has ordered the Department of War to prepare a “swift, fierce, and soft” action. This martial language does not herald peace but a geo-economic crusade , or, better to say an organized plunder. The Lies of a President in Search of Enemies Trump is resurrecting the old fiction of the “clash of civilizations” to justify his foreign adventurism. He describes Nigeria as a “disgraced country,” plagued…

Trump’s Resumption of Nuclear Testing: An Irreversible Leap Toward Atomic Apocalypse?

Trump’s Resumption of Nuclear Testing: An Irreversible Leap Toward Atomic Apocalypse?

In recent days, Trump abruptly ordered the resumption of U.S. nuclear testing after a hiatus of thirty-three years. This irresponsible measure revives the spectre of the Cold War. It directly jeopardises world peace. However, let us explore its sinister origins. Furthermore, let us examine its inevitable consequences. Trump openly defies international treaties. Consequently, he plunges humanity into immense abysses. The moratorium on testing, essential to maintaining equilibrium, collapses. Trump resolutely opts for armed brutality. Thus, he exacerbates tensions with Russia and China. Trump proclaims this initiative on October 30, 2025, on Truth Social. He falsely invokes rival programmes. Yet, Russia…

After Venezuela, Trump wages war against Colombia: renewed imperialist offensive

After Venezuela, Trump wages war against Colombia: renewed imperialist offensive

On October 19, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the suspension of all US aid to Colombia and the imposition of tariffs, Read sanctions, on its exports, calling President Gustavo Petro an "illegal drug leader." This decision came after US military strikes in the Caribbean Sea targeting Colombian ships. The Colombian government denounced these indiscriminate attacks as violations of its sovereignty and recalled its ambassador. The currency devaluation and reduced foreign investment underscore growing economic instability. This escalation is part of a US foreign policy reviving the Monroe Doctrine, considering Latin America as its exclusive sphere of influence. Trump and his…

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

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

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…

Gaza and the Anglo-Saxon Colonial Nightmare: Tony Blair, the GITA, and Imperialism’s Humanitarian Charade

Gaza and the Anglo-Saxon Colonial Nightmare: Tony Blair, the GITA, and Imperialism’s Humanitarian Charade

By Ron Jacobs One of the most powerful conversations I've had this century took place in Washington Square in New York City on September 11, 2001—as the sky bore the acrid scent of a world that had just turned upside down. My friend and I were there, stunned, in the midst of the collective shock. A few blocks away, smoking concrete, flames, rubble: the material embodiment of a global trauma. Within earshot, a group of young people were discussing. One of them asked, "What should we do with the perpetrators?" I replied, "Find them, arrest them, try them." Another retorted…

Behind the Veil of Ceasefire: Decoding Trump’s Betrayal of Palestinian Rights

Behind the Veil of Ceasefire: Decoding Trump’s Betrayal of Palestinian Rights

Only a cursory look at Trump's Gaza plan, revealed during his summit with the Israeli Prime Minister at the White House on Monday, indicates that the Israelis have not yet achieved their military objectives after more than two years of bloodshed and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. In fact, both Trump and Netanyahu seek to seize control of Gaza and totally eradicate Hamas under the guise of "ceasefire". Following the anticipated meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, characterised as "efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza", both parties made remarks literally irrelevant to ceasefire or peace initiatives. Trump's outlined proposal stipulates the release…
