Karen Kwiatkowski: Democrats on Notice, Midterms a Massive Protest Against U.S. Wars, Not Just Trump
If voters want U.S. wars to stop, they must organize and demand radical change in the political system. The spectacular drubbing that President Trump and his Republican Party received in the midterm elections was not merely a vote against a corrupt and backsliding administration. It was a massive protest against Washington’s war against Iran and all U.S.-led conflicts. This is something that the Democratic Party leadership should take note of.

The Ukraine war’s end will mark the death of U.S.-led Western hegemony
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: The war in Ukraine is not an isolated conflict. It is one of several violent attempts by the United States and its NATO allies to shore up crumbling Western hegemony. Former U.S. Army Lt. Col. Earl Rasmussen says the war in Ukraine is one front in a broader international conflict that is aimed at preserving a world order once dominated by a global minority of Western powers, primarily the United States.
Doug Macgregor: Russia has won the war… the U.S. and European delusions are cruelly shattered
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: Russia has won the war in Ukraine, and American President Donald Trump’s belated peace efforts are largely irrelevant, says Doug Macgregor. Russia has won the war in Ukraine, and American President Donald Trump’s belated peace efforts are largely irrelevant, says Doug Macgregor. Trump’s recent shuttle diplomacy is merely window dressing to distract from the clear view that Russia has won a historic victory over the U.S.-led NATO proxy war.
Ukraine quagmire? Yes, but it’s for NATO, not Russia
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: Western politicians and media claim that Russia is bogged down in a Ukrainian quagmire. We are told that Russian forces are taking heavy losses, held in a stalemate by gritty Ukrainian soldiers. Nearly five years after invading, it is claimed, Russia’s military is still confined to Ukraine’s far eastern territory with little progress. But this upbeat Western narrative is flawed and wearing thin. The NATO-backed Ukrainian regime is straining from collapse.

Up in arms… Koreans reject U.S. empire’s plan to make South Korea the next Ukraine
Up in arms… Koreans reject U.S. empire’s plan to make South Korea the next Ukraine By Finian Cunningham | Strategic Culture Foundation | October 26, 2026 South Korea is rebelling against U.S. dominance. It is witnessing a formidable opposition movement against the United States’ historic control over the Asian country’s military forces. There is also growing pressure on the South Korean government to refuse demands by U.S. President Donald Trump for Korean troops to deploy in the Persian Gulf.
Easy fix for Europe’s chaos? Stop fueling war against Russia
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: There is a straightforward way to alleviate the social chaos sweeping Europe, as well as the war in Ukraine threatening to engulf the continent. It’s an easy fix – and it’s not shoving more white powder up Zelensky’s nose paid for by European taxpayers.
Burnham tackles Britain’s poverty with aggression in Yemen
Burnham tackles Britain’s poverty with aggression in Yemen By Finian Cunningham | Strategic Culture Foundation | October 24, 2026 British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has found a novel way of solving Britain’s cost-of-living crisis. By bombing Yemen. Yes, you read that correctly. This week, Burnham authorized the deployment of British Typhoon fighter jets to Saudi Arabia for its war with Yemen. Downing Street assured the British public that the deployment was for “defensive” operations only.
Buď - anebo: Situace v Evropě spěje k radikálnímu řešení. Rozpoutáním války na Ukrajině Západ zničil zdání blahobytu. Ožebračování lidí se blíží ke kritickému bodu. Udržování zkorumpované kyjevské junty dál není možné. Na mír ale politici odvahu nemají
Politika 24. 10. 2026 Společenský chaos, který zachvátil Evropskou unii v důsledku války Západu proti Rusku na Ukrajině, hrozí pohltit celý kontinent. Přitom má vcelku snadné řešení. Lék ale rozhodně nespočívá v tom, že do vlastní pasti chycení krachující západní politici budou za peníze evropských daňových poplatníků cpát Zelenskému do nosu další bílý prášek, a lít další miliardy do bezedné jámy zkorumpovaného kyjevského režimu.

Saudi Arabia under fire… Yemen is burning down the House of Saud
Saudi Arabia under fire… Yemen is burning down the House of Saud By Finian Cunningham | Strategic Culture Foundation | October 16, 2026 The Saudi kingdom is facing the danger of collapse from soaring war costs as Yemeni air strikes ramp up, hitting its northern neighbor’s capital and industrial centers with impunity. Yemeni journalist Hussein al-Bukhaiti says the corruption and arrogance of the “House of Evil” is culminating in historic defeat.
West’s death cult in a theater near you
Capitalism, fascism, wars, the Epstein class, endemic poverty and suffering – it’s a death cult in a theater near you. It’s hard to know whether to break the TV set or throw up when listening to the European governments rushing to condemn the air strike by Yemeni forces on Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid international airport. The blast from a ballistic missile that slammed into the airport at the weekend, October 12, killed at least 13 civilians and injured scores of other travellers.

Trump’s Greenland Security Deal Is a Danish Sop for Keeping NATO United Against Russia
Trump’s plan for militarizing the Arctic at the cajoling of Europeans is another ominous sign among many. James Jatras, a veteran U.S. foreign policy analyst, discusses how the recent security deal between Trump and Denmark over Greenland is really about easing tensions within NATO. And keeping the Western military bloc hard-focused on Russia. The signing of a new security agreement with Danish PM Mette Frederiksen on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on September 22 looked odd.

Burnham’s UN debut… A masterclass in British disinformation By Finian Cunningham | Strategic Culture Foundation | September 26, 2026 So, “Britain is back” and ready to provide glorious leadership to the rest of the world, to “solve shared problems we face.” British Prime Minister Andy Burnham made his debut at the United Nations this week, addressing the 81st session of the General Assembly in New York. “You can count on us,” assured Burnham.
Cannon fodder no more… South Korea rejects Trump’s pressure to join his criminal war on Iran
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: This is a pivotal moment in history as South Korea tells Trump it is done with being a vassal for American imperialist wars. KJ Noh notes in this interview for Strategic Culture Foundation that South Korea’s defiance of U.S. power is resonating with growing resistance among other nations towards Washington’s bullying and warmongering.
NATO can defeat Russia? Poland’s Sikorski is a dangerous idiot covering for dead-end Euro elites

Macklemore versus Ed Sheeran’s ‘Make Some More’
Sheeran’s “solidarity” is with consumers and corporate marketing. Trust gnarly rock legend Roger Waters to make the distinction unmistakably clear. The U.S. rap singer Macklemore has stood up for the right thing, noted Waters, while English pop balladeer Ed Sheeran is just a commercial “prick”. That’s how the former Pink Floyd member and renowned songwriter put it in his typically acerbic style, in a social media post this week. Both Macklemore and Sheeran would claim to be music artists.

Britain stands against oppression in Palestine… by supplying F-35s By Finian Cunningham | Strategic Culture Foundation | September 11, 2026 So, Britain announced with much fanfare this week that it was imposing sanctions on Israel’s illegal settlements in Palestine. Note that the sanctions are not against the Israeli state, but rather a much narrower definition: Israeli entities in the Occupied Territories.
Alternative ‘Führer’ Deutschland? Alarmism over AfD win is absurd
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: The shockwave reaction to the Alternative für Deutschland landslide election victory in Germany is absurdly out of proportion. It also defies any easy categorization of conventional right, left, or centrist politics. What it does signify is a massive popular protest against the warmongering political establishment in Europe and the United States.

Alternative ‘Führer’ Deutschland? Alarmism Over AfD Win Is Absurd – OpEd
After AfD’s Saxony-Anhalt win, the author calls the shock “out of proportion.” The party (founded 2013) is now the Bundestag’s largest opposition, strongest in the east, and is being talked about for 2029 nationally. It calls itself conservative, nationalist, Eurosceptic, and anti-immigration; critics call it far-right. Merz’s CDU and the SPD collapsed in the same vote. The piece rejects a 1932 rerun.
Kiev regime kills human shields; Western media blame Russia
Zelensky’s talk about “negligence” and “holding to account” is cynical pap that the Western media lend credibility to. A Russian drone strike on an ammunition depot near Kiev last week resulted in 38 civilian deaths and scores of injuries. Western news media described it as “Russia’s deadliest attack on Ukraine this year.” Significantly, the depot was being used secretly and illegally by the Kiev regime to store explosives among civilian homes and a healthcare center.
Leipzig false-flag drama is cover for Germany’s expansion of drone war on Russia
The Leipzig false-flag event is a desperate attempt to cover up and gaslight the public into perceiving Russia as a threat. European news headlines have been dominated by Germany’s accusation that Russia carried out a drone attack on Leipzig airport. The accusation is unprecedented and provocative. Moscow furiously rejected the claim and pointed out that Berlin had provided no evidence. European leaders are in a state of alarm, claiming that their countries are under attack.

Provokace jako vstupenka: Zelenskyj rozehrává další krvavé hry. Pomatenost, nebo podlézavá nabídka Trumpovi? Útok na íránskou loď za úsměvy ve Washingtonu? Pro další miliardy udělá kyjevský klaun cokoli. Kolik životů ještě na oltář kyjevských nácků?
Smrtící ukrajinský útok na íránskou nákladní loď v Kaspickém moři zapadá do dobře známého schématu provokace, jejímž cílem je podpořit obchodní pozice a prodejní argumenty. Útok dronem z 25.
Burnham dances right on cue as warmonger puppet PM
Britain is being run by a puppet regime whose purpose is to sell war. One week after becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham delivered on his assigned role to ramp up Britain’s militarism and support for Ukraine in the NATO proxy war against Russia. Burnham hosted Ukrainian so-called president, Vladimir Zelensky, at Britain’s top naval base in Portsmouth on board the aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth.

Burnham Installed in Downing Street: a British Establishment Coup
There has been a coup in Britain, and Burnham is but cheery window-dressing in Downing Street. The key to understanding Andy Burnham’s dramatic entry to 10 Downing Street is his appointment of the man who will control Britain’s economy and direct it towards unprecedented militarism. Hours after becoming prime minister on July 20, Burnham named John Healey as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the title for Britain’s finance minister.

But Britain’s homelessness problem will take on a whole new meaning if he lets the country slide into a world war.

Is Team Russia on track for the LA28 Olympics?
Why has the IOC not banned Britain, France, Germany, and other European NATO states for arming a NeoNazi regime in Kiev that is bombing civilians in Russia? After nearly three years of being banned from international sports events, Russian athletes are finally looking at the prospect of returning to normal competition under their country’s flag and national anthem.

Trump wins bigly… as a war criminal
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: If there’s a World Cup for war criminals, Trump wins “bigly,” to use one of his boasting words. His five-month aggression against Iran is a litany of own goals. The late Senator-for-War Lindsey Graham might qualify as a runner-up.
Euro elites fiddling while Paris burns
by Finian Cunningham, Strategic Culture: The ironic symbolism of this year’s Bastille Day military parade was as rich as a French gateau, although the taste was rancid. On the day that France celebrates the 1789 revolution, overthrowing a despised monarch, French President Emmanuel Macron was joined by an array of deeply unpopular European leaders to view a military parade that was meant to symbolize “unity and strength” against Russia.

The only “unity” on display in Paris was the closing of ranks by despicable elites who are tempting fate with war or revolution. The ironic symbolism of this year’s Bastille Day military parade was as rich as a French gateau, although the taste was rancid.
One word spoils the NATO jamboree… Konstantinovka
The NATO instigators are tasting bitter fruit as they gather in Ankara. The NATO summit taking place in Turkey this week was already looking fraught with simmering tensions between Trump and Europe. Now the jamboree in Ankara and the facade of unity are shattered by the dramatic liberation of Konstantinovka by Russian forces. The Russian military’s victory over the key Ukrainian stronghold paves the way for the complete takeover of the Donbass region.
