Thousands of ISIS prisoners may now be released after the U.S. stepped aside and Syrian government forces swept through northeast Syria, seizing territory once guarded by the Kurdish-led SDF. Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, explains how Washington’s withdrawal and the collapse of the Syria–SDF ceasefire allowed forces loyal to President Ahmad al-Sharaa to crush Kurdish control through brute force, fueling fears of massacres, repression, and renewed ISIS chaos. Landis warns this power shift, driven by an increasingly Arab Sunni–supremacist project, marks yet another U.S. abandonment of Kurdish allies and threatens Syria with deeper instability, violence, and fragmentation. #breakthroughnews

In Davos, Donald Trump's treasury secretary bragged that destroying Iran's economy was "economic statecraft" without a single shot being fired. But Aaron Bastani points out that the Iranian economy's collapse has led to protests in which at least 2,000 people have been killed - potentially heralding the beginnings of "civil war" in Iran.

To those who wish to divide... This is me standing up for myself this year, and hopefully it will serve as a future reference to others who try to do the same and at the same time teach you a little something.  I'm not going to let people put me down, lie or make very Grand public assumptions about me while thinking I'm just going to lie down and take it.  This is not how we treat comrades, this is not friendly criticism or conversation. Otherwise you'd reach out to me privately right?  We all need to do a lot of introspection, self-criticism (oh I should do a video on that) and accept the reality that the masses are diverse and that different kinds of people will appeal to them when it comes to delivering information.  It's never about being right or wrong, we are literally dealing with theory here, Marxism is a piece of political theory and philosophy not meant to be applied on hardset binaries.  But the longer I'm online and dealing with other people in this fear it often seems that ego has taken them very far away from the reality of humanity and the masses, and that so many care more about being "right" then learning about different ways of living.  But what do I know, I'm just a stupid little girl hehe (or a bitter old hag depending I guess)  Blah blah, Izdihar was mad yesterday and made this. But even my anger is kinda then the shit some of you dudes say about me 🤷🏻‍♀️ #marxism #history #Gramsci #Lenin #islam

Is the era of American global dominance finally in decline? Does the Global South finally have a real alternative to the Western model of development? As the U.S. intensifies its aggression against the rest of the world — from attacks on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Maduro to tariff wars against its own neighbors — a new alternative is emerging. Political analyst Zoon Ahmed Khan joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss the rise of China’s “people-centered” development and its application in Belt and Road Initiative, its global governance model vs. the U.S., and why more and more countries, and even Western G7 nations like Canada, are turning towards strategic partnerships with Beijing. Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a weekly show that provides an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about. We help you navigate beyond the headlines with expert analysis and on-the-ground perspectives.

When Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gave her Nobel "Peace" Prize to warmonger Donald Trump to thank him for bombing her country, it showed how the prize is a tool of war that serves Western foreign policy interests.

We took a deep dive into Trump's tariffs, and his real approach became painfully clear.Make tariff threats, extract money from companies willing to pay, then grant exceptions to those who play the game.It's another lucrative scam for a wildly corrupt president.

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who came to the US for surgery at the age of two. He became a pillar of his Atlanta community as a barber and father of seven. For the last year, he’s been in an ICE detention center. Taken from his car in front of his family with no explanation, for the last year, his fiancée has been organizing to have him released. The Trump administration says its deportation campaign targets “the worst of the worst.” But, in interviews with BT, his family, neighbors, and clients say the reality is just the opposite.

Imperialism in the 21st Century is starting to look like the imperialism of the early 20th century as Donald Trump ramped up his demand to seize Greenland from Denmark. Professor Richard Wolff and Brian Becker discuss how capitalist competition led to two catastrophic world wars in the first half of the 20th Century, and how similar competitive pressures are taking shape today.
