Germans can no longer sell cars. So, they will build tanks. But tanks last for decades and consumers don't buy them anyway. That's why Military Keynesianism doesn't work, unless you start one war after the other US-style. Ergo, only fools welcome German Military Keynesianism.

At least 12% of Britain’s annual military budget is spent on its failing nuclear weapons programme – weapons, that if they are ever used, means the end of humanity. Polling shows people don't want more austerity to fund warfare.

Why is Ukraine struggling to mobilise its citizens to fight?
Many Ukrainians have come to the realisation that their state is distributing the burdens and benefits of war unfairly.

The murderer of Chris Hani has been deported to Poland. Janusz Waluś is a murderer and a Nazi, who has been lauded as a hero by the far-right in Poland. Chris Hani was a true hero and a revolutionary that fought the evil that was Apartheid, until he was murdered. Amandla✊

We sent a message to our government: if you knowingly supply weapons to a government whose leader is wanted for war crimes, the long arm of international law will extend to you too.

A very important statement by left wing MPs and the peace movement in the UK. Peace talks not further military escalation are needed to halt the war in Ukraine.
The British government needs to take responsibility for its actions in escalating the war in Ukraine. We need to step back from the nuclear brink with peace talks and a lasting political settlement.

The choice in next year's Polish Presidential elections will once again be between two right wing candidates. The small silver lining is that the hawk, Radosław Sikorski, has failed to become the KO candidate.
