    Cuba, Venezuela and Regime Change

    Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist

    Regime change is possible but not inevitable. Forces claiming to be leftist and claiming to be revolutionary must actually live up to the true meaning of those words.

    Straight of Hormuz Closure Pushes Europe Toward Russia, Undermining Trump’s Iran War

    Wednesday, 18 March 2026 — MintPress News

    While it may have been able to take out Ayatollah Khamenei, the U.S.’ plans for regime change in Iran are not going as smoothly as they expected. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, the global economy is facing meltdown, and Washington’s allies are rapidly distancing themselves from the U.S. Meanwhile, facing an energy crisis, European leaders, openly refusing to participate in President Trump’s war, are already discussing normalizing relations with Russia and ending their participation in the Ukraine War.

    Day 19: US Burning Through Munitions Amid Gamble to Topple Iran, Cut China Off From Oil with 1 War

    Wednesday, 18 March 2026 — The New Atlas

    • The US has burned through huge quantities of high-end weapons on Iran it had been stockpiling for war it sought to provoke with China in the Asia-Pacific;
    • The US not only likely never had enough weapons for a war with China, but it will be unable to even replace what it has spent on Iran for years to come;
    • The US war on Iran is thus likely an attempt to reduce or remove 2 obstacles to US primacy with one war, degrading or toppling Iran and the imposition of a global maritime oil blockade on China at its source (US capture of Venezuela, US strikes on Russian energy production, and now the incremental shutdown of energy exports from the Middle East);
    • The US likely hopes it can emerge from the global economic crisis it is creating “stronger” relative to China;

    The Assassination of Ali Larijani: Imperial Desperation and the Limits of Decapitation

    Wednesday, 18 March 2026 — Liberation News Network

    Why the US keeps killing Iranian leaders—and why it keeps failing

    Liberation News Network

    There is deep resilience built into the Iranian system

    The assassination by the US/Israeli of Ali Larijani (Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council) is yet another example of the extreme chauvinism and racism of the imperialist bloc blinding them to the realities of their enemies.

    Digital extraction and the new logic of underdevelopment

    Tuesday, 17 March 2026 – Struggle / La Lucha

    Roape

    Africa’s incorporation into global capitalism has never been neutral. From the Atlantic slave trade through colonial rule and into the post-independence era, the continent has been structurally positioned as a source of value for others rather than a site of autonomous accumulation. What is often misunderstood is not whether this extractive logic has ended, but how it has changed. In the twenty-first century, data, digital labor, and algorithmic infrastructures have emerged as new vectors of accumulation. In this piece, Prince Ifoh argues that re-reading Walter Rodney, Kwame Nkrumah, and Achille Mbembe allows us to see how digital capitalism reconfigures rather than break with Africa’s history of underdevelopment.

    SNMG2 conducts PASSEX with JMSDF
    Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels fly the 16-ray Rising Sun — the ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy that oversaw the occupation of Manchuria, the Nanjing Massacre, and 50 years of colonial rule over Taiwan. Washington is now asking Tokyo to send ships bearing that flag into West Asian waters.

    On March 19, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will arrive in Washington with an offer for the Trump administration: Japan will join the Golden Dome missile defense project and help replenish U.S. weapons stocks depleted in the first weeks of the war against Iran.

    Donald Trump Just Heralded In the Age of China

    Tuesday, 17 March 2026 — BestBeat Media

    The Great Reset Was Just Detonated in Tehran.

    BettBeat Media

    The architects of Empire always believe they are exempt from consequence. They launch wars the way they launch business ventures — with bombast, with the confidence of men who have never been held accountable for anything, and with the unshakable conviction that the world will bend to their schedule. They are always wrong. And the rubble they leave behind always becomes the foundation of the world that replaces them.

    David Miller

    First published on PressTV, Thursday, 05 March 2026 4:55 PM

    While the likes of Trump, Netanyahu, and Rubio peddle inconsistent justifications for the illegal and unprovoked aggression on Iran, CIA intelligence shreds claims of imminent threats, revealing how the Zionist entity dictates US foreign policy.

    Day 17: Why is the US Deploying a Marine Expeditionary Unit Amid War on Iran?

    Monday, 16 March 2026 — The New Atlas

    • The US is sending a US Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) including the USS Tripoli with 2,500 Marines, F-35 warplanes, V-22 Osprey, and transport helicopters;
    • Out of 2,500 Marines, only 1,200 are part of a ground combat element, the rest are spread across air combat elements, command, logistics, and other supporting roles;
    • The MEU could participate in the seizure of Kharg Island and other critical facilities, board and seize ships, sink ships, augment US regional airpower with its F-35 warplanes, or augment US regional missile forces with its compliment of HIMARS and ATACMS/PrSM munitions;
    • The MEU poses a threat to the shipping of energy to China Iran is reportedly allowing through the Strait of Hormuz specifically because of its anti-shipping capabilities created under the Biden administration specifically for war with China;

The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
