Report from Havana as Trump Threatens to "Take" Cuba & Pushes for Ouster of Cuban Leader
Now that the Soviet Union no longer exists, were Ronald Reagan to be alive today, which country would he have to refer to as the “Evil Empire”? Presumably, the empire that causes most damage to property and infrastructure, the most deaths, and the most pain. And, of course, the empire which has the most despicable president leading it. — © Mark Alexander

Economist Jeffrey Sachs: US-Israeli "War of Choice," Assault on UN Charter Could Lead to WWIII
Mar 14, 2026 | The global economy has been rocked by the war in the Middle East, with Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz threatening energy flows and sending the price of oil soaring to its highest level in years. The United Nations Security Council responded to the unprovoked US-Israeli war by passing a resolution this week condemning Iran — specifically for its attacks on US allies in the region — while ignoring the role of the Trump administration and the Netanyahu government in instigating the bloodshed. Economist Jeffrey Sachs joins Democracy Now! to discuss the fallout of the "war of choice" and why it also constitutes an assault on the United Nations.
"This is so out of control, without any logic, any rationality, not any humane, moral, legal justification whatsoever," says Sachs. "It will lead to world war the way we're going, because we have two malignant narcissists, Netanyahu and Trump, that are leading us to disaster."

Iran Picks New Supreme Leader; Toxic Black Rain Falls after Israeli Strikes on Iranian Oil Depots
Mar 9, 2026 | Iran has selected Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father Ali Khamenei as Iran's supreme leader. The elder Khamenei was assassinated in a joint U.S.-Israeli airstrike on February 28. Iran selected the "hard-liner" Mojtaba Khamenei in defiance of President Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he can choose Iran's next leader. His selection also contradicts the Islamic Republic's previous resistance to hereditary succession. "The war changed everything," says Iranian American political analyst Hooman Majd, who adds that Iran's leadership sees the conflict as "existential" and is therefore carrying out retaliatory attacks throughout the region to "make it painful economically and in many other ways for the United States and for Israel to continue the war."
Meanwhile, preliminary investigations by _The New York Times_, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International indicate that the U.S. military carried out the strike on an elementary school in Minab, Iran, that killed over 100 young girls. "It is a war against people," says Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard, who is calling for the school massacre to be investigated as a war crime.
"Iran is going to be changed forever," says Majd, rejecting claims from U.S. leaders that military intervention has created the conditions for a civilian uprising. "For them to be able to rise up and take control of the government is just a pipe dream. I mean, how are they supposed to do that when they're being killed or are running away from missiles almost on a daily basis?"

Cuba Kills 4 Exiles Trying to "Infiltrate" Island by Boat as U.S. “Medieval Siege” of Cuba Continues
Americans are a cruel people. Trump is especially cruel. Americans call themselves Christian—Nay! They insist that they are Christian—but Jesus wouldn’t recognise them as such. Americans are about as far away from Christianity and Christian principles as it is possible to get! Greed, cruelty, and mercilessness abounds in America, especially under the leadership of Trump and his cronies.
I am no communist sympathiser. But so what if a tiny island such as Cuba chooses to live by communist principles? What possible difference could this make to the Goliath that is America today?
Instead of going to church next Sunday, I suggest that Americans look into their mirrors and ask themselves one simple question: Am I really living according to Christian principles? — © Mark Alexander
