War

Since September 2001, the United States has been fighting its “war on terror”—what’s now referred to as this country’s “Forever Wars.”

From the Big Lie to torture and sectarian violence, the U.S. and the Middle East are still paying the price for our moral perversions in Iraq.

That means inflicting real costs: U.S. casualties, political backlash at home, strained relations with allies, global economic disruption and a further erosion of Washington’s standing in the world.

Washington’s hypocrisy on this matter is legendary and stunning.

Clinton was secretary of state, so why is she so flat-footed on these foreign policy issues?

The truce in Lebanon and the evolving diplomacy that is reshaping the Middle East in response to the genocide in Gaza as the threat of a major regional war is ever growing.

“George Orwell warned us that the war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Americans need to aggressively question their politicians and the media, ignore empty slogans, challenge warmongering propaganda, and swiftly reject disinformation from the corporate media.”

As Lebanon and Israel agree to a cease-fire, Gaza remains under heavy attack, with tens of thousands killed and a growing humanitarian crisis.

After releasing its own preliminary investigation, Doctors Without Borders is also demanding an independent war crimes probe of the U.S. bombing of its hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

The unfolding crisis in Gaza and the U.S.’s pivotal role in shaping the UN Security Council's response underscore the complexities of international diplomacy and humanitarian intervention.
