Surrounded and Abandoned, Rojava Faces Slaughter - Truthdig The U.S. ends its decade-old relationship with Syria’s secular, feminist, Kurdish forces, leaving them to again face an Islamist assault.

Another atrocity by US imperialism. Trump cut US support for the secular, feminist, progressive Kurdish forces who built a Democratic Autonomous Administration and defeated ISIS in NE Syria. The US now backs the sectarian Islamist regime based in Damascus.

Trump’s Rare Earth Deal – And Coercion in Munich – Unveiled The draft offer reportedly given to Ukrainian officials by the US asked Kyiv to renounce much more than their rare earth minerals – and it almost stopped US-UA diplomatic talks in their tracks.

Russia invaded Ukraine, but according to Trump it is Ukraine that should pay reparations to the USA, not Russia to Ukraine.

Kremlin Message to Trump: There’s Money to Be Made in Russia Russian officials are arguing that American companies stand to make billions of dollars by re-entering Russia. The White House is listening.

US imperialists talked with Russian imperialists in Saudi Arabia yesterday on how to carve up Ukraine between them and call it peace. Trump gets Ukraine’s mineral wealth. Putin gets fossil capital’s investments and technology. Back to business as usual.

While Trump and his minions now openly tell Ukraine to cede land and people to Russia, Ukrainian socialist Hanna Perekhoda explains why "The fight for freedom in Ukraine is intimately linked to the global struggle against fascist forces" like Trump & Putin.

Will the Republic Strike Back? The attempted hostile takeover of the U.S. government by Trump and Musk is beginning to hit a wall. Let’s see if the wall holds.

The Musk-Trump electronic coup is hitting a wall of court injunctions. Will the Supremes uphold the wall? Will Trump and Musk ignore the injunctions? Will Congress impeach Trump if he defies the injunctions? A constitutional crisis is upon us.

Elon Musk Is Leading an Electronic Coup D’État - New Politics Musk’s take-over is tantamount to a coup, and far more effective, serious, and dangerous than the insurrection that Trump organized on January 6, 2021.

While progressive Americans sit shell-shocked and immobilized by Trump's mediagenic rants and decrees, his accomplice, Elon Musk, is carrying out a behind-the-scenes electronic coup that is much more effective than the bush-league Jan. 6 coup attempt.
