“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its…
Our leaders lied to us about Korea. They lied about Vietnam. They lied about Kosovo. Professor Jeffrey Sachs: “In 1999, we bombed Belgrade for 78 days. The point of that was to break Serbia in two, to create a new state, Kosovo, where we have the largest NATO military base…
There is only one sensible, rational, effective course of action. Current U.S. leadership, at all levels — we’re probably looking at 99% of those now in positions of power — MUST BE REPLACED.

Freeing the World from the Deadly Shadow of Genocide and Ecocide When I was in the U.S. military, I learned a saying (often wrongly attributed to the Greek philosopher Plato) that only the dead have seen the end of war. Its persistence through history to this very moment should indeed be sobering.…
The question of who is responsible for causing the Ukraine war has been a deeply contentious issue since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The answer to this question matters enormously because the war has been a disaster for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is…
