The Biden administration’s decision to provide Ukraine with what the president himself described yesterday in a NY Times column as “advanced rocket systems” is a massive escalation of the war with potentially catastrophic consequences.
For the past decade—in line with the political imperatives of the US-orchestrated 2014 Maidan coup that overthrew the elected pro-Russian government—Snyder has sought to manufacture a rosy narrative of Ukrainian nationalism as a heroic struggle for democracy.
The Financial Times’ Gideon Rachman has written a column that is an unintentional—and, therefore, all the more devastating—exposure of the intellectual and moral putrefaction of bourgeois journalism and the political and social system it defends.

A recent article by Liza Featherstone is a public relations ploy aimed at resurrecting Ocasio-Cortez’s and the DSA’s failing image as “socialist.”
Russia is the home of vast stores of critical minerals, the development of which is seen as critical for the imperial strivings of the American ruling class at this stage of capitalist development.
