Trump is considering putting US boots on the ground in Iran after the November midterms, because he feels he has "nothing to lose," per initial reports citing US officials. A third US aircraft carrier and a second Marine expeditionary landing unit with more than 2,000 Marines are already heading to the region, which would bring the total to three carriers and two amphibious groups around Iran by November.

Geopolitical Economy Report The CIA has organized coups d'etat in countries around the world. But this is not just history; it still happens today. US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top ally of Donald Trump (and former fiancée of his son), threatened a Greek minister by pointing to the collapse of Romania's government and saying, “We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here”. Her remarks recalled a comment from oligarch Elon Musk, who declared, "We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it". Ben Norton analyzes US imperialism.

globinfo freexchange It should not surprise anyone that Western imperialist warhawks will try anything to further escalate against Russia, even if that means playing with nuclear fire. As reported by multiple sources,                          Russia has warned NATO it is prepared to use its entire arsenal, including nuclear weapons, if the Western alliance attempts to cut off the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad, according to a diplomatic document sent to member states. The diplomatic memo sent on Wednesday claimed Moscow has “information that NATO is preparing an air and naval blockade of Kaliningrad”. Despite any attempts by the Western alliance of chaos to deny that this is the case, there is concrete evidence that Russia’s concerns are completely justifiable. Recall that, as we revealed back in 2022, a 2019 RAND report was describing how the US should orchestrate a carefully calibrated war between Russia and Ukraine, to...

BreakThrough News Is Ukraine becoming an "Eastern European Israel" for the EU? Sociologist and author Volodymyr Ishchenko joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to discuss Ukraine's eroding sovereignty, who profits from keeping the fighting going, and whether an off-ramp still exists to a war with Russia now costing Ukraine 27,000 casualties per month, according to Poland's prime minister. Europe is pushing record defense budgets and warning that Russia could test NATO within months. But this month Ukraine launched its largest drone attack yet on Moscow, Washington approved a $2.68 billion air defense sale, and the EU unblocked €6.6 billion in military aid. Is Europe readying to defend itself from a Russia with imperialist ambitions? Or preparing for a forever war, where profiteers abound and working-class Ukrainians do the fighting and dying at the direction of a state they've come to hate? Ishchenko describes an emerging vision for Ukraine amongst Kyiv’s power bro...

Good Politic Guy Netanyahu and Israeli leaders melt down over new film NAZA containing IDF soldier testimonies admitting to crimes committed over the last three years, Google updates shocking satellite imagery, Israeli officials admit final plan for Gaza and West Bank, and more. 

Democracy Now! A new documentary titled Britain's Gaza Secrets Exposed reveals new details about the U.K. government's internal response to alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Presented by journalist Ramita Navai and produced by Ben De Pear for Channel 4's investigative program Dispatches, the documentary examines government records, some newly publicized, to show how the United Kingdom ignored or concealed mounting evidence of Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza after the October 7 attacks. "We were looking at how our country, which prides itself on having an ethical foreign policy and as being one of the supporting members of the United Nations on human rights, was able to keep selling arms," says De Pear. "And basically, what we found was a doctored process … It's quite extraordinary the level of duplicity that was going on in order for us to keep selling Israel arms." Ben De Pear also produced the 2025 BAFTA-winning documentary Gaza: Doctors U...
