The $40 Billion Provocation: US Weaponizes Taiwan in Dangerous Anti-China Strategy

Taiwan's defence minister revealed preliminary discussions with the US regarding a $40 billion defence budget for weapons procurement, signaling the island's determination to bolster deterrence against China.

The Narco-Terrorism Narrative: Washington's New Imperial Playbook Against Venezuela

The Trump administration escalated its campaign against Venezuela by classifying drug traffickers as 'narco-terrorists,' deploying military assets for maritime strikes, and pursuing regime change against Nicolás Maduro under the guise of counterterrorism. This dangerous militarization of foreign policy represents imperial overreach that threatens regional stability and violates international norms under the false pretense of fighting crime.
