Bernie Sanders - Senate Showdown: Should the US Keep Funding Israel’s War?

Apr 17, 2026 | Bernie Sanders address two Senate votes that could determine whether the United States continues funding Israel’s military campaign under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, which killed over 1,200 Israelis and took hostages, Israel had the right to respond. But that response, critics argue, has violated international law. In Gaza, more than 72,000 Palestinians have been killed and much of the territory destroyed, including homes, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. Severe blockades have caused widespread hunger. Violence has also escalated in the West Bank, where over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since then.

Lebanon Ceasefire: Peace Breakthrough or Just a Temporary Trump Pause in the War?

Apr 17, 2026 | A 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon brings both relief and skepticism after weeks of escalating violence. Announced by Donald Trump following talks with Benjamin Netanyahu and Joseph Aoun, the pause is meant to halt fighting and create space for diplomacy. While it appears focused on Israel and Hezbollah, the conflict is deeply tied to a wider U.S.-Iran standoff. Hezbollah’s attacks in support of Iran triggered a devastating Israeli response, leaving southern Lebanon heavily damaged and thousands of civilians affected. The ceasefire offers a needed break, but its short duration and complex regional stakes make its long-term impact uncertain and fragile.

Trump Has Committed the Biggest Geopolitical Blunder in History | Former US Army General

Apr 9, 2026 | “Anybody who thinks we’re better off today than we were 40 days ago… is obviously delusional.”

Trump’s war in Iran has damaged the US’s relationship with its allies, pushed Iranians further into the hands of the regime, and meant that “America’s status has gone way down”, says former chief logistician for all US and Coalition forces under General Petraeus during the Iraq War, General Steven Anderson.

Why Are Tourists Turning Away from America?

Aug 7, 2026 | Recent data shows a 5 per cent drop in international arrivals to the United States, compared with the previous year.

Washington correspondent George Grylls explains what could be causing holidaymakers to turn away from the US.

The decline comes at a critical time for the industry, as the US is set to host events such as the World Cup this year and the LA Olympics in 2028.

Can the US convince tourists to visit?

Nobody in his right mind would want to visit the US while Trump is in the White House. When people go on holiday, they want a good time. They don’t want to be arrested by ICE agents, beaten by them, and then disappeared! Sensible people are rightly staying well away from Trump’s dystopia. — © Mar Alexander

Is the Iran War Dividing the US and Its European Allies? | DW News

Apr 1, 2026 | Tensions between the United States and its European allies mounting. Despite President Donald Trump’s repeated criticism of European leaders, they remain reluctant to join the American-Israeli war on Iran. Several countries have refused to allow their airspace to be used for the operation. The British Prime Minister says this is not his war, and Germany’s chancellor has made clear the country does not want to get involved.

We discuss this topic with Dr. Leslie Vinjamuri, President and CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and an expert on international relations and diplomacy. We are also joined by Glenn Ignazio, a retired major and former commander of U.S. Air Force Special Operations.

How Iran Holds Its Own against Enemy Bombardment as Donald Trump's War Enters Its Fourth Week

Mar 30, 2026 | Wars are seldom decided by fighting alone. Although military campaigns can devastate cities and take many lives, final outcomes are shaped by endurance, legitimacy, and deeper historical forces beneath the violence. While the conflict initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump against Iran may bring short-term gains for the United States and Israel, the broader political reality points elsewhere. Iran has suffered damage to its infrastructure and people, yet it may ultimately secure the political advantage.

‘Iran Won’t Lose War’: Jeffrey Sachs Predicts ‘Doom’ for Israel, US | Exposes Trump-Bibi Plot

Mar 31, 2026 | In this explosive interview, economist Jeffrey Sachs delivers a stark warning on the escalating Iran war, claiming we could be “days or weeks away” from a collapse of the global energy supply.

Calling Donald Trump a 'fool', Sachs argues that Iran is not going to surrender as Trump imagines, calling the conflict a major strategic miscalculation by the United States and Benjamin Netanyahu. He also frames the war as part of a larger geopolitical power struggle, with the US seeking dominance over the Gulf and Iran resisting falling in line, unlike other regional players.

Perhaps most crucially, Sachs says only major global powers like India, Russia, and China can step in to de-escalate the situation before the crisis spirals further.
