ERIC ZUESSE—Only by means of intense deceit does the U.S. Government allege that it and its allies are ‘democratic’ and that the countries that they impose sanctions against and overthrow (or try to overthrow) in coups and invasions are not. Irrespective of whether some of the countries that the U.S. Government targets for overthrow are or are not dictatorships, America itself certainly is, and it has the world’s highest percentage of its population living in prison — which might suffice alone to qualify America as being a police-state — and perhaps the worst one.

BATIUSHKA—Some write that Russia can only win the war in Ukraine as long as it can help the US to save face after its defeat and then the collapse of NATO and the EU. Remember Saigon? Remember Bush and his ‘Mission Accomplished’? (The world laughed at his farce, but plenty in the US were convinced by it). Remember Kabul? The US just left them and pretended to be in denial about them. Like the British at Dunkirk in 1940, who left their French allies in the lurch, they just ran away back to their island, declaring victory, though leaving lots of their equipment behind them. The Americans can also run away, saying: ‘Forget it. They are not worthy of us’.

JIMMY DORE—Recent years have witnessed a great deal of turmoil in the nation of Haiti, and recently the United States has threatened to invade militarily in order to “restore order.” Which really means to exert control over the country in service of the rich and powerful. As documentarian and journalist Dan Cohen explains, one figure targeted by elite interests in Haiti and the U.S. is ex-cop turned revolutionary leader Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier. Jimmy speaks with Cohen about the unique role Chérizier plays in current Haitian politics and what the United States is doing in an effort to dislodge him.
