The West can no longer deny Russia's successes, but the warmongers of World War III are not stopping

3/11/2024
Interview with Wilhelm Langthaler, spokesperson of the Anti-imperialist Camp, in the exiled Ukrainian opposition media outlet politnavigator.net.   Recently, more and more publications have appeared in the Western media, which contain the opinions of politicians and high-ranking NATO generals that the military conflict in Ukraine is moving towards Kiev's defeat. How can you explain the increase in the number of such materials? # The reason is very clearly connected with the results on the battle field. Nobody can deny anymore that Russia is advancing and that that the Ukrainian army is exhausted. Nevertheless Western media is continuing is warmongering campaign against Russia asking for further escalation.   Is public opinion really changing not in favor of … [read more]

Now more than ever resistance

24/10/2024
Statement of the “Stop World War 3 - International Initiative for Peace” on the escalating wars in Palestine and Ukraine The past few months have been enormously consequential for the anti-imperialist Resistances. Beginning with the telecommunications sabotage, the Zionist regime unleashed a brutal war on the people of Lebanon, first by air and sea, followed by an ongoing ground invasion. After a year of genocide, the Zionist regime shows no sign of stopping their war on the Palestinian people. There has only been an intensification of the war coupled with a denial of the most basic humanitarian assistance for the people in Gaza. The recent assassinations of Ismail Haniyeh, Hassan Nasrallah, and Yahya Sinwar have shown the depth of the struggle against Zionism and the sacrifice … [read more]

Different sanctions against Belarus and individual representatives of the Belarusian regime by the EU and the United States are nothing new. In fact, they are being introduced, partially cancelled and reintroduced since the dissolution of the parliament and the adoption of the new constitution in 1996. As a rule, these sanctions are not critical either for the Belarusian economy, or for the Belarusian authorities, or for bilateral relations between the countries. And many have long doubted the effectiveness of such an instrument of pressure on the Belarusian government. The latest package of EU sanctions, according to experts, is also quite soft and, so far, does not pose a serious threat to the economy and the local political regime.

The very Karabakh is a territory, that for centuries was populated by both Armenians and Azery people. In the Soviet years it had the status of an autonomous district in the territory of Azerbaijan. This conflict, as well as many others, was based on the objective growth of national self-awareness, mostly that of those nations, that had acquired their literacy, national art, literature and started to comprehend their national role in the Soviet history.

What do you think of the current street movement in Belarus trying to bring down Lukashenko? The current street movement is the largest we have ever seen in recent history of Belarus. Most of the people involved have no clear understanding of what they really want to achieve, and what is the future they are fighting for. Basically, it all boils down to some vague hope that it is enough to bring down Lukashenko – and everything will be all right. Of course, the people most likely to come to power if the movement wins have a very clear understanding of this future. It is clearly a neo-liberal vision with massive privatization of state property, deindustrialization, “optimization” of the healthcare system etc. It goes without saying that, as leftists, we can’t support these aims. … [read more]
