Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been on a tour of the capitals of Europe promoting his Ukrainian Victory Plan. It is apt that he has billed it a victory plan and not a peace plan because there is nothing of peace in it. The plan aims to strengthen Ukraine militarily so that Russia is forced Continue reading "The Nukes or NATO: The Hidden Threat Behind Zelenskys Victory Plan" The post The Nukes or NATO: The Hidden Threat Behind Zelenskys Victory Plan appeared first on Antiwar.com.

The UK government and police – the British state – made clear on Friday they are waging a war of intimidation against the country’s independent journalists in a desperate attempt to silence them.

When you take on the role of the world’s policeman, don’t be surprised when countries who cannot fight their own wars call “911.” That is exactly what is happening to the United States on two fronts and it is bankrupting our country, depleting the military that should serve our own national interest, and threatening to Continue reading "Why Should We Fight Wars for Ukraine and Israel?"

An especially notable feature of the 2024 presidential campaign has been the number of prominent Republicans who have endorsed Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris. The latest convert is former congressman Mickey Edwards, a 6-term representative from Oklahoma, who had been a member of the GOP’s leadership in the House of Representatives. Some Republican defectors have Continue reading "Kamalas Growing Flock of GOP Hawks" The post Kamalas Growing Flock of GOP Hawks appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Since September 11, 2001, and the global war on terror that ensued, leadership decapitation has been the preferred method of dealing with groups designated as terrorist organizations. The theory behind decapitation is simple. In order to kill the snake you must first cut off its head. Twenty-three years later, Israel has seen no reason to Continue reading "The Head of the Snake: The Unintended Consequence of Israels Decapitation Policy" The post The Head of the Snake: The Unintended Consequence of Israels Decapitation Policy appeared first on Antiwar.com.

“We’re going to do everything we can to keep a wider war from breaking out,” U.S. President Joe Biden promised when war erupted in Gaza. But that foreign policy legacy is in tatters. War has spread from Gaza to Lebanon and has arrived at the doorstep of Iran.

Publicly, Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, continues to insist that Ukraine will not cede any of its territory to Russia. But, privately, in Kiev, Washington and some European capitals, the realization is firming up that the war will end at the negotiating table, and it will end without Ukraine recapturing its lost territory. Officials “close to Continue reading "Ukraine Could Lose Territory and Its Dream of NATO" The post Ukraine Could Lose Territory and Its Dream of NATO appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Canadian officials are encouraging Israeli violence in Iran. Once again, they are supporting the neoconservatives who view the genocide in Gaza, weakening of Hezbollah and Iran’s response to Israeli provocations as a bid to remake the Middle East just like in the build-up to the last US invasion of Iraq. As former Israeli prime minister Continue reading "Lets Go Israel! Bomb Iran!" The post Lets Go Israel! Bomb Iran! appeared first on Antiwar.com.

Biden Administration mismanagement – or worse – from day one of the latest Israeli multi-front war in the Middle East has led us to where we are today, at the brink of an all-out regional war with some 40,000 US troops and multiple US military bases in the region with targets on their back.

Nearly a decade ago, a leading Israeli human rights activist divulged to me a private conversation he’d had a short time earlier with one of Europe’s ambassadors to Israel. He was shaken by the exchange. The ambassador’s country was then widely seen as one of the most sympathetic in the West to the Palestinian people.

There is a good bit of evidence that suggests Israel is unraveling from within. It now appears that Zionism, like communism, is a self-defeating project. In June of this year, renown Jewish historian, Ilan Pappé, suggested that the collapse of Zionism may be imminent. According to Pappé, “We are witnessing a historical process – or, Continue reading "Israel Against Itself and Israel Against All" The post Israel Against Itself and Israel Against All appeared first on Antiwar.com.
