As Hell Rains Down on Iran, Western Media Turns Its Head Mainstream English-language outlets refer to the war as the “conflict in the Middle East,” as if the region just got up one morning and decided to set itself on fire.

How to Actually Stop Mexico’s Cartels—Without Terrorist Labels  - CIP For a durable answer to cartels, policymakers should try approaches that limit violence and cartel power, instead of going to war.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

The US has painted its invasion of Venezuela as a surgical operation. But for those on the ground it was a disaster. The US killed more than 100 people.

Resisting the Empire Next Door, Protests in Mexico Grow After US intervention in Venezuela, Trump’s threats against cartels may be seen as paving the way for actions in Mexico.

This Jan. 24 article by @tamarapearson.bsky.social is by far the best all-in-one piece I've seen on how #Mexico is standing up to the second Trump administration, before during and after the kidnapping of Maduro. Required reading.

Trump has invaded #Venezuela. This is the 1st time the US has used its own military to invade a South American country. President Trump made the purpose of the invasion very clear on Saturday: oil. The result will be disastrous. My latest @therealnews.com
