The Gendered Brutality of Imperial Warfare: How the US-Iran Conflict Exposes Patriarchal Power Structures

The US-Iran conflict has caused massive civilian casualties, infrastructure destruction, and global economic disruption while systematically ignoring the disproportionate gender-based suffering inflicted upon women and vulnerable populations.

The AI Mirage: How Western Techno-Optimism Masks a Deepening Fiscal and Moral Crisis

The article explains how a potential AI-driven productivity boost could modestly ease soaring public debt burdens in rich nations, offering a temporary 'breathing room' but not a fundamental solution to structural fiscal challenges like ageing populations and rising spending.

The United States has threatened to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, to force the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a textbook example of the imperialist violence and lawlessness that plagues the global order. This cruel, inhuman, and deeply colonial threat against a sovereign nation highlights the raw hypocrisy of a Western 'rules-based order' that is nothing more than a license for the strong to bully and destroy the weak.
