Nov. 29, 2024 (EIRNS)—The White House on Nov. 28 issued a statement in the name of President Joe Biden denouncing Russia’s “horrific” attacks on Ukraine earlier that day, using terms of self-righteous insanity. Biden pledged to continue “prioritizing air defense exports” to Ukraine, from the U.S.. The sense of the message is that Russia has no reason but “aggression” for their actions.

In such a moment as we find ourselves, with the suffering nearly unbearable to contemplate in Gaza, which is perhaps the most disturbing because of the gleeful cruelty with which the torture and genocide is imposed; but also in Haiti, South Sudan, and even in Ukraine, where men are being kidnapped to be used as cannon fodder in the dying Empire’s war – a war on the brink of crossing the threshold into a land of no return – one might ask, “Why should we pause to give thanks?”

Let us each ask ourselves, “Did you choose your circumstance of birth?”

Nov. 26, 2024 (EIRNS)—When Russia fired its new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile on Nov. 21, decimating a Ukrainian weapons depot in Dnipro, it was effectively a message to the West that Russia was not playing around. The attack came after the United States no later than Nov. 17 had lifted restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles to strike Russia—and Ukraine’s ensuing use of such missiles—crossing a red line which put the U.S. in direct, open conflict with Russia. The message should have been clear: further escalation means all options are now on the table.

Nov. 17, 2024 (EIRNS)—The surprise announcement Sunday, Nov. 17 that the Biden Administration would now allow Ukraine to use American long-range missiles to strike Russian territory is a powerful reminder as to how close the world still is to thermonuclear war. As EIR has warned over the recent months and years, the proxy-war in Ukraine against Russia has put the world on the absolute precipice of global war—a situation which the war hawks in the trans-Atlantic are hell-bent on igniting. And the decision to approve Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons may just push it over the edge.

Nov. 13, 2024 (EIRNS)—In a Nov. 8 interview, retired Col. Douglas Macgregor spoke to the kind of profound re-thinking of policy needed in the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election. “People don’t think these things through,” Macgregor exclaimed. “We’ve got to give up the whole idea of sanctioning, bullying and threatening. We’ve got to get out a clean sheet of paper and start from scratch.” Macgregor, who served briefly as a senior adviser to the Secretary of Defense in Trump’s first term in office, pointed to “the financial crisis looming over the horizon” as a crisis that may help the U.S. to do just that.

The shocked post-mortems offered so far by the authors of this disaster show a stubborn refusal to face reality. Living comfortably inside their fantasy-ridden bubble, Democratic strategists ignored polls which showed that 70% of voters said the country is “moving in the wrong direction.

Nov. 10, 2024 (EIRNS)—“In Flanders fields, the poppies blow/ between the crosses, row on row,/ That mark our place; and in the sky/ The larks, still bravely singing, fly,/ Scarce heard amid the guns below…” An unending sea of flowers, one for each killed on all the world’s battlefields, in wars that need never have been fought. This Remembrance Day, as today is known throughout the world, also called Veterans Day in some nations on Nov. 11, is the best time to commit ourselves, and our nations, to the immediate ending of conflicts that, in a thermonuclear age, hold the entire world hostage—starting with NATO vs. Russia, and Israel vs. “the world,” i.e., Palestine/Lebanon/Syria/Iran and others.

Oct. 19, 2024 (EIRNS)—Russian President Vladimir Putin made it perfectly clear Friday, Oct. 18. what the stakes are over the conflict in Ukraine. When asked about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s statement that Ukraine demands either NATO membership or nuclear weapons, Putin replied, with a look of conviction and animus that almost needs no words: “Under no circumstances will Russia allow this to happen.”

Oct. 17, 2024 (EIRNS)—A sober evaluation of the current international strategic situation leads one to conclude that London and Washington may very well unleash Israel to bomb Iran—possibly including its nuclear facilities—in the middle of the Oct. 22-24 BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia
