Rabobank: “World War 3? The US Has Crossed A Red Line… But It’s Not The One They Think” “World War Three!” is trending on social media the day I return to work after two weeks off deliberately not reading any news for once: ironic given my reputation for being bearish about geopolitics.

Is it Jaw-Jaw or War With Iran? Strategically, economically and politically, the Islamic Republic of Iran seems to be in almost desperate straits. “Jaw-jaw is better than war-war,” is attributed, wrongly, say some historians, to Winston Churchill. Still, the words lately came to mind. While last week ended with a hopeful U.S.-Iranian prisoner exchange that […]

In A Society Built On War, We Must Do More Than Just Prefer Peace
In A Society Built On War, We Must Do More Than Just Prefer Peace American activist Angela Davis once said, “In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.” Our responsibility to truth and justice isn’t fulfilled by merely witnessing the perverse tendency in western society toward white supremacy without […]
