Not only is Uncle Sam being driven out of the rest of the world, the Empire is also in deep trouble at home. The travails of two geriatric men, and a lady of color reflect its problems.
American politicians never lose an opportunity to lecture others about the “ruled-based” global order. The US, however, follows no rules. The torture camp at Guantanamo Bay is reflective of American hypocrisy and gangsterism.
NATO was created during the west’s rivalry with the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. The Soviet Union is no more. It is time to disband NATO, too. Yet the western warmongers appear in no mood to do so.
Pakistan was created amid great hopes even if its birth was marked by much bloodshed and mayhem. The mafias led by the military that have hijacked its polity have driven it into the ground. Its very survival is at risk. Pity the people of Pakistan.
Three years after a chaotic US withdrawal, Afghanistan under the Taliban finds itself at the crossroads of competing global influences. Their relations with China, Russia, and Iran reflect a strategic pragmatism aimed at securing economic and political stability.

American officials have been to-ing and fro-ing between Tel Aviv, Cairo, Doha and Beirut in an attempt to force Hamas to accept US-Israeli terms for a temporary ceasefire.

Far from being the spiritual journey and fulfilment of a life-long desire to perform Hajj, for many pilgrims this year’s pilgrimage turned out to be a deadly experience. Thousands of pilgrims died because of Saudi incompetence and callousness.
America is barging into Africa under the pretext of fighting terrorism. The US itself is the biggest supporter and promoter of terrorism. Uncle Sam’s true aim is to plunder Africa’s resources following in the footsteps of the equally greedy Europeans.
The far-right’s rise in Europe is a worrying development. Centuries of colonialism devastating societies in Asia and Africa and in more recent years wars imposed on them under the pretext of fighting terrorism have forced millions of people to migrate. The Europeans don’t want them.
Iranians will go the polls again in a week’s time to vote in the second round of presidential election. The two front-runners, neither of whom secured the required 50% plus one vote, will face off each other on July 5.
Hajj is an important pillar of Islam and the largest assembly of the Ummah. Yet under the control of Bani Saud, it has been reduced to empty rituals. Discussion of burning issues like the plight of the Palestinians facing the zionist onslaught is strictly forbidden. Why?
Student encampments at university campuses have continued to expose the universities’ investments in companies profiting from Israel’s war on Gaza. Students have demanded that such complicity end. They have exposed the hypocrisy of university administrations.
Following the untimely death of President Raeisi, western media outlets have been predicting doom and gloom in Iran. This is their default mode after each tragedy that strikes Iran. Their predictions have proved wrong in the past and will be proved wrong again.

Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan is an eloquent speaker. Listening to his speeches about Israeli crimes, one would think he is a staunch supporter of the Palestinians. His policies belie his rhetoric. Turkiye under Erdogan continues to do brisk business with zionist Israel.
The US has just enacted into law a surveillance bill that allows for unwarranted intrusions into people’s personal lives and data. Already the most repressive state, intelligence agencies have been given vast new oppressive powers. Concurrently, criticism of Israel is being outlawed.
