Why is Biden Risking Nuclear War with China? – Chomsky and Ellsberg
Biden again declares he will “defend” Taiwan with U.S. forces, essentially threatening nuclear war against China. Why is he dropping “ambiguity” and raising the level of tension? Noam Chomsky and Daniel Ellsberg join Paul Jay on theAnalysis.news.
A Second Pink Tide in Latin America? – Pt 1/2
With the left’s recent electoral successes in Peru and Bolivia, and previously in Mexico and Argentina, does this mean that there is a second so-called “Pink Tide” in Latin America? If so, how do we make sense of the first Pink Tide, its successes and failures, and what might Latin America’s left have learned from the first tide, as it gets ready to take power in several countries? René Rojas, professor at SUNY Binghamton, and Hilary Goodfriend, of Jacobin Magazine Latin America, argue that while the left needs a clearer economic plan, it is at an advantage at the moment because of the right’s disarray across the region.

Catastrophic Foreign Intervention in Haiti – Jafrikayiti (pt 1/2)
Following a disastrous UN mission in 2010, several Western-backed coups d’état, and the U.S. occupation of 1915-1934, the initiation of yet another foreign intervention in Haiti aligns with the longstanding imperial policy of the U.S., Canada, and European powers towards the country. Jafrikayiti, author and activist for Solidarité Québec-Haiti, underscores the broken social contract in Haiti, where installed leaders are neither elected by nor are accountable to the people but serve the interests of the private sector, over a dozen rich families, and the countries of the Core Group.
Ukraine: Dangerous Dance of Military-Industrial Complex – Paul Jay
Great powers, especially the Americans, believe prestige and “strategic power,” in other words a pissing match, is worth sending other people’s kids to die for. This is a fight between the oligarchs on all sides. They will all find ways to make money out of the tension, even if they are playing with nuclear fire. Paul Jay joins George Clark on his podcast By George (pt 1/3).
How quickly Cuban Americans forget the atrocities committed by the Batista regime. The USA and Batista-both driven by greed complete with corruption ruined Cuba. The USA’s desire to control Cuba is the real monster, not Castro.
From a person lucky to be born on the land they call canada, les digo “Viva Cuba Libre.”
Well, it did get better in the last 2 parts but still has the look of Hollywood-type propaganda – just all a little too “romantic” as in all the altruism being bandied about. Still liked watching it, however (maybe because I´m from Hollywood?).
