Trump attacks citizenship and voting rights
In oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Wednesday and in an executive order issued at the White House Tuesday afternoon, the Trump administration pressed ahead with a frontal assault on the democratic rights of the American people.The Supreme Court is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington, Dec. 17, 2024.

The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday morning on Trump v. Barbara, the case triggered by Trump’s issuance in January 2025, upon taking office, of an executive order purporting to do away with birthright citizenship.The order has been challenged repeatedly in court, based on Trump’s open defiance of the plain language of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which begins: “All persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
For 160 years, this clause has been understood to mean all children born in US territory, except those of foreign diplomats, are citizens. The application of this language to the children of immigrants was upheld by the Supreme Court in its 1898 decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which upheld Wong’s citizenship rights based on his birth in San Francisco, even though his immigrant parents had been barred from naturalisation by the racist Chinese Exclusion Act.

In genocidal rant, Trump vows to send Iran “back to the Stone Ages”
In a prime-time television address on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump declared that the goal of the United States in the Iran war is the destruction of Iranian society. “We are on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We are going to bring them back to the Stone Ages,” Trump said.
Trump threatened that unless the Iranian government accepts his demands, “we are going to hit every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously. We have not hit their oil, even though that’s the easiest target of all, because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding. But we could hit it and it would be gone, and there’s not a thing they could do about it.”
In other words, if Iran does not totally capitulate and become effectively a colonial protectorate of the United States, Trump declared his intent to wipe out everything that sustains modern life for 90 million people and not give them “even a small chance of survival.”
There has never been an address like this given by an American president. Whatever the crimes carried out by former administrations, they were framed as the defense of democracy, self-determination and liberation. Now the American president’s message to the population of an entire country is: accept our demands, or die.
So many accusations against the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, and Cuba’s nationalisation of private property, but they are falling into the same hole. Capitalism is like a chameleon; it will adapt itself according to the colour of the world situation. The USA state apparatus is becoming a national private corporation. The socialist party has been on the correct path all the time: Capitalism is capitalism, it does not make any difference in the form it adopts, the anti-neoliberal must be happy now

Black Sea turns into a battlefield: A Turkish-operated tanker carrying Russian oil was hit

The crude oil tanker Altura, owned by Turkish company Pergamon Shipping and en route from Russia, was struck by an armed unmanned maritime vehicle (UMV) on Thursday, 26 kilometres (16 miles) from the entrance to the Bosphorus Strait.No one has officially claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred in the fifth year of the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine. Carried out during the US-Israel war of annihilation against Iran, Türkiye’s eastern neighbour, the attack underscores the danger of escalation and expansion in the Ukraine war.
It looks like Donald Trump and his advisers thought that the war in Iran was going to be in and out immediately, like in Venezuela, but the consequences of this war are enormous.
They do not find a way to get out of the war, unless they declare victory, which was done by George Bush, and they spent 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan
They had to lift the economic embargo against Russia and against Iran to have more petroleum in the market, but the price of petroleum is already high, and the general prices of commodities are high too
The times of World War 2 are gone, and the only way to win a war is when the two opposing armies confront each other.
Iran is different from Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan
But the russophobes in the Senate are only waiting, like the Europeans and the UK, for a new incumbent in the White House to resume the Biden policy.
And, when Orban is defeated in his election, the EU will give Kiev another 90 billion Euros.————————————————-
That is correct. This world is governed by capitalists and pro-capitalist gangsters
The US has abandoned the supply of new weapons to Ukraine; now, they are requesting a $200 billion budget for the war in Iran. They are moving military equipment from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. The big cake is in the Middle East, and they know that the proxy war in Ukraine is already lost; in some way, Russia has obtained what it wanted
Trump issues a 60-day waiver century old jones act. Puerto Rico is under the same act. During the pandemic, many countries were not allowed to ship merchandise to Puerto Rico due to the John Act. It is a form of embargo
There is an article in the New York Times of 3/17/2026 ( a subscription is required ) describing how the government of Trump is changing its view toward emigration because there is a shortage of labor, and its plan of attracting white workers did not work. Some white South Africans who were brought to the USA are moving back
Mexicans are the ones who have the proper skills in this type of job, and the construction industry also has a big shortage of labor. These skills take time to learn.
The market system is hitting them in front of their own faces, and nationalism is not working. They want to have nationalism and expansionism at the same time
It is going to be like Ronald Reagan, who approved an amnesty for millions of foreign workers after running a nationalistic campaign.
There is a shortage of labor, farmers are going bankrupt, and they are not deporting as many as they were planning to deport.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden were deporting more foreign workers than Trump, even though Trump has a bigger budget.
He does not want Republican leaders to talk about mass deportation; it was one of his campaign issues. The market system always prevails
Jobs are not coming back, and some industries have come back, but they are using robots for most of their operations, and they have kept their operations in foreign countries. They are just trying to avoid high tariffs

Trump is planning to launch a ground invasion in Iran
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) effectively endorsed the US-Israeli war against Iran on Wednesday with the passage of Resolution 2817 (2026). The text “condemns in the strongest terms” Iran’s retaliatory strikes on the Gulf states, while saying nothing about the nearly two-week-long bombardment of the country of 90 million people by American imperialism and its Israeli ally.
The resolution’s pretext is that Iran launched retaliatory strikes against seven countries—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan. But all seven host US military bases actively being used to wage the war on Iran—from the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, to Al Dhafra in the UAE. These states are not neutral bystanders. They are, in effect, combatants. Iranian strikes on their territories were launched in self-defence and have killed approximately 11 civilians. The US and Israel have killed over 1,300 people in Iran alone.

The US has loosened sanctions preventing other countries buying Russian oil and petroleum already loaded on vessels at sea to try to ease the energy supply crunch sparked by the US-Israel war with Iran.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the “short-term measure” was aimed at promoting “stability in global energy markets”.https://english.pravda.ru/world/166038-russia-china-anti-us-coalition-gulf-war/
The Second Gulf War Differs Fundamentally from 1991
In February 1991, during the first Gulf War, President George H. W. Bush urged Iraqis to “rise up and overthrow Saddam Hussein.” Members of Saddam’s inner circle betrayed him, and Iraq lost the war to the United States at the cost of more than a million lives.
Today, however, the geopolitical landscape no longer resembles 1991 — a period of weakness for Russia and China. History shows that the decisive phase of any war begins after the first strikes, when initial euphoria fades and strategic reality sets in. That reality now takes shape as a consolidated anti-American coalition led by Russia and China.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation officially classified US and Israeli actions against Iran as “armed aggression” and a “gross violation of international law.”
Beijing issued “strong condemnation,” describing the strikes as a serious breach of Iran’s sovereignty and security. Both capitals demanded an immediate halt to hostilities and a return to political and diplomatic settlement.
A significant ally also stepped forward in the form of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Pyongyang accused Washington and Israel of “shameless gangster behavior” and hinted that it could provide advanced missile technologies — including hypersonic systems and heavy multiple rocket launchers — to help Iran restrain its adversaries.Pakistan and Syria echoed similar positions. Damascus labeled US actions a continuation of “imperialist policy.”
