Donald Trump, the Mr. Magoo of geopolitics, incites warfare between Egypt and Ethiopia
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Donald Trump, the Mr. Magoo of geopolitics, has shot his big mouth off again and incited warfare between Egypt and Ethiopia. Trump said, according to the BBC, that Egypt cannot accept the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam that is being built on the Blue Nile, which the government of Abdel Fattah […]
Sudan’s Revolutionaries insist Israel Deal must be ratified by Future Parliament, as Trump’s Strong-Arm Tactics threaten its Democracy
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office with Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu on speaker phone in which he breathlessly announced that Sudan had agreed to normalize relations with Israel, following on Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates earlier this year. Egypt and Jordan had signed peace […]
Right-wing extremism: The new wave of global terrorism
By Sean Spence | – In April 2020, the United Nation’s Secretary-General, António Guterres, addressed members of the Security Council by warning them that the COVID-19 pandemic could threaten global peace and security. If the health crisis was not managed effectively, he feared that its negative economic consequences, along with a mismanaged government response, would […]
A clear Choice on Climate: Trump wants to Wreck the Planet; Biden has taken strides toward a Green Vision
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Trump doesn’t get climate change or the ways to combat it. He is a greedy, venal person, and I presume he is encouraged in his obscurantism by some sort of business interest in the oil and gas industry, or backing by them with campaign dollars. Or perhaps he just, by […]
How much of Barack Obama’s legacy did Donald Trump Destroy?
By Clodagh Harrington and Alex Waddan | – Throughout Donald Trump’s first term in office, the US president has harked back to the Obama years. From blasting the “horrible” Iran nuclear deal to blaming Barack Obama’s administration for the “obsolete, broken system” that Trump claims has hindered the US response to the COVID-19 crisis, he’s […]
How Trump gathered us all into Dante’s Lowest Level of Hell, his Natural Home
( Tomdispatch.com ) – For some time now, I’ve wanted to send Donald Trump to Hell. I mean this literally, not as a figure of speech. I want him to inhabit the palpable, sensory Hell that religions have long conjured up with scenes of sulfur, damnation, and screams of perpetual pain from those who once […]
Trumpie Wingnut DNI Ratcliffe hilariously blames Iran for pro-Trump Email Spoofs
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – I don’t know what it is about being in official Washington that degrades basic critical faculties. Like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, they start saying, “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” The US Establishment believed that Iraq in 2002 was near to […]
Can America survive the re-election of Donald Trump?
By Henry Giroux | – The 2020 presidential election may be one of the most significant and far-reaching events of the 21st century. The stakes almost defy comprehension — suggestive less of a competition over who will become the president of the United States, but whether people will vote to either retain the ideals and […]
