Balloons bad, drones good. That's the translation from the language of knuckledraggers into English. The United States flew a drone into a war zone on a military mission. But it wasn't a balloon, so the United States is the victim. Sean Hannity isn't reporting from Kharkiv. Hannity isn't...

“Ukraine is firing artillery shells faster than manufacturers can make them. Brussels is working on a plan to increase production by guaranteeing...”
Can't fight a war without factories. Ordering ammunition that can't be manufactured won't bring any sort of victory. Giving money directly to Ukraine won't increase the supply of ammunition that can't be bought at any price. The EU is proposing to make a bulk order of one million shells to...

Summers' financial doublespeak blames SVB for investing depositor assets in what is considered the most safe, secure, and risk free investment; Federal bonds. According to Summers, SVB was supposed to engage in riskier behavior with depositor assets. Why would a bank investing in Federal bonds...

How can anyone deny Biden has embraced socialism? How can anyone deny that Biden is attempting to transform government into a socialist institution? The idea of a proletariat collective, espoused by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels, was built upon a foundation of equity. Equity was the...

“New intelligence reporting amounts to the first significant known lead about who was responsible for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines that...”
The screw turns. Are we to believe that US intelligence is releasing this information to be transparent? Such information would appear to undermine the war effort. The more likely speculation is that the United States is beginning to create leverage to use against Ukraine to force...

“The war in Ukraine is a steel cage death match for Putin and Biden.”
What the hell does victory mean? According to the author, victory appears to mean the neoliberal world order subjugating the world. But neoliberalism has not made the world a better place. The international world order deplores war yet turns every conflict into a global war effort. Financial...

“Joe Biden wants to transform the U.S. economy. His plan has one big risk.”
Free trade is symptomatic of the threats that have been posed by neoliberalism, in general. The failures of neoliberalism have become so stark that liberal-speak can no longer gloss over the damage caused with promises of peace and prosperity. Neoliberalism has not created a better world....

“A year into the war, Ukrainians and Russians seem prepared for a prolonged conflict.”
The danger with brush wars is that they become a status quo. All sides become too comfortable with the situation as it is. Even worse, governments begin to see a prolonged war as a benefit to themselves. 'The war' provides a stage for hardliners who have a vested interest in more war. We've...

“The Utah senator suggested the same dynamics that propelled Donald Trump to the 2016 GOP presidential nomination could help him do it again in 2024.”
What an amazing piece of revisionist tripe. Mitt Romney is trying show he's clueless enough to be President. And there isn't a better example of the press trying to deliberately misinform, mislead, and confuse the public. The 2016 Republican primaries was a contest between Ted Cruz and...

“I'm not going to go into any specific intelligence that we may have”
Now we're being told that US officials(?) observed the balloon launch and tracked the balloon over the Pacific. Even CNN is aware of the weather and wind patterns. And we're yet to be told exactly what was recovered. Seems like someone botched up another military operation. Wonder who that...
