Biden Squawks Amid Headless Chickens
There's a whole lot of theatrical squawking and feathers in the surreal world of Western politicians.

Pandemic Shows China Bests US
The starkly different impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on China and the United States is glaring proof of which political system is most capable of delivering for the common good of people. The total number of deaths in China from the disease stands at about 4,600. In the United States, the death toll is over 630,000 and rising.

US Spying on EU Lackeys
Joe Biden's attempts to rally the transatlantic alliance have just got a punch in the nose after media reports of American spying on European leaders.

Putin's Killer Response
US President Joe Biden's attempted slander against Russian leader Vladimir Putin -- calling him a "killer" -- was not only disgraceful. It was also very stupid.

West's Cynical Concern for Myanmar
The three Western powers on the United Nations Security Council have been highlighting concern for human rights violations in Myanmar. But their "concern" seems to have cynical motivation to make problems for China.

US' Futile Containment of China
State planners in Washington seem to think that a Cold War policy towards China will deliver the same kind of victory that America claimed against the Soviet Union. The objective is to make the United States the sole global hegemonic power with no other competitor.

Pompeo's Desperado Vandalism
What an ignominious end to the Trump administration. Apart from the president being impeached for the second time, Trump's top diplomat Mike Pompeo has been frantically sabotaging as many foreign relations as possible.

Don't Dismiss US Coup
Many commentators are dismissing the extraordinary events at the US Capitol as something much less serious than an attempted coup. Some have even joked about it as if it were a carnival of crazies high on Trumpism.

Navalny Case Is Naked Admission of Spooks and Media Collaboration
The latest twist in the Navalny saga claims that the blogger-activist -- whom Russia accuses of being a CIA asset -- was somehow poisoned with highly toxic Novichok laced in his underpants. The story does not pass the whiff test. In fact, it reeks like, well, a pair of old underpants.

America's Sick Priorities
The US Congress is pushing through another record-breaking military budget while tens of millions of Americans are staring into the abyss of Christmas misery from poverty and disease. The twisted priorities of Washington's politicians show the American political system is sick beyond words.

NATO Chickens Home to Roost
Many of these so-called jihadists came from European states and there is evidence that the state intelligence agencies permitted these radicals to travel clandestinely to Syria in order to do the dirty work of regime change against the Syrian government. That regime-change objective involved unleashing a campaign of unspeakable terrorism against civilians with the deliberate intention of terrorizing Syria into submission.

NATO, Energy Geopolitics and Conflict in Caucasus
A key factor in all this too is NATO's long-term plans to expand membership of the U.S.-led military alliance in the Caucasus and Central Asia along Russia's southern periphery.

Capitalism the Real Disease
It's hard not to agree with American professor Richard Wolff when he says the real disease facing the world is not Covid-19 but rather the failed economics of capitalism. Wolff's analysis is more cogent than ever.

Why the US is Doomed
The fatal trouble with the US is that it has a chronic political disease. But none of the political class, including "populist" President Donald Trump, have a diagnosis to offer. And any remedial action always requires accurate diagnosis.

CIA's Addiction to Afghanistan War
It is America's longest overseas war and shows no clear sign of ending despite a shaky peace deal underway between the Trump administration and Taliban militants.

Palestinians only pawns in UAE-Israel deal, shared enmity towards Iran is the REAL move
The "historic" agreement for normalization of ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel is being presented as a noble effort by the Gulf Arab states to fend off further annexation of Palestinian land.

UK Shoots Itself In The Foot for Uncle Sam
In a dramatic U-turn, the British government is scrapping Chinese telecom giant Huawei's involvement in modernizing its internet infrastructure. And the Trump White House is crowing with glee.

China Right on Nukes
As Chinese officials have pointed out, it is up to the US and Russia to dismantle their huge arsenals to levels comparable to China's before the latter can participate in further disarmament. Moscow has said it respects the Chinese position.
