Explosive Gas Pipeline in the Mediterranean

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 30 September 2020

In the Eastern Mediterranean, where large natural gas offshore fields have been discovered, a bitter dispute is underway for the definition of exclusive economic zones, up to 200 miles from the coast, where each of the coastal countries has the rights to the field exploitation. The countries (...)

President Macron’s bad play in Lebanon

by Thierry Meyssan

Paris (France) | 29 September 2020

Playing Deus ex machina, President Macron came to distribute the good and bad points to the Lebanese leaders. Sure of his superiority, he said he was ashamed of the behavior of this political class. But all this is just a bad play. Underhandedly, he is trying to destroy the Resistance and to (...)

The end of the Oslo Accords

Israel and the Emirates sign the "Abraham Accords"

by Thierry Meyssan

Paris (France) | 22 September 2020

The Israeli-Emirati treaty upsets the rhetoric about the Middle East and makes possible an Arab-Israeli peace. It interrupts Israel’s inexorable nibbling of Arab territories and establishes diplomatic relations between Israel and the leader of the Arab world. If one is to examine without (...)

The USA on the brink of civil war

by Thierry Meyssan

Paris (France) | 15 September 2020

In this article, the author seeks to draw our attention to a fact that is difficult for Westerners to conceive of: the American people are experiencing a crisis of civilization. They are so deeply divided that the presidential election is not just about electing a leader, but about determining (...)

What will be the foreign policy of the next US President?

by Thierry Meyssan

Paris (France) | 8 September 2020

The two programs for the Trump and Biden candidacies are not similar to those of previous candidates. It is no longer a question of adjusting the United States to the changing world, but of defining what they will be. The question is existential, so it is quite possible that things will (...)

Who wants to overthrow President Lukashenko?

by Thierry Meyssan

Paris (France) | 1 September 2020

The Western press highlights Svetlana Tikhanovskaya as the winner of the Belarusian presidential election and accuses outgoing President Alexander Lukashenko of violence, nepotism and election rigging. However, an analysis of this country shows that the policies of its president correspond to (...)

The contradictions of modern Iran (2/2)

Iran from anti-imperialist to imperialist again

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 11 August 2020

Continuing his study of contemporary Iran, Thierry Meyssan shows how Tehran has once again abandoned the anti-imperialist ideal of the 1979 revolution to return to its imperialist policy. This article, like the previous one, presents many unknown elements. It continues with an astonishing (...)

Israel destroys East Beirut with a new weapon

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 7 August 2020

The first Israeli Prime Minister has ordered the destruction of a Hizbollah weapons warehouse in Beirut with a new weapon. The weapon, which is not well known, caused considerable damage in the city, killing more than 100 people, injuring 5,000 and destroying many buildings. This time it will (...)

The contradictions of modern Iran (1/2)

Imperialist Iran becomes anti-imperialist

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 4 August 2020

The history of Iran in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries corresponds neither to the image that Westerners have of it, nor to the image that the official discourse of Iranians gives of it. Historically linked to China and for the past two centuries fascinated by the United States, Iran is (...)

Jean Castex’s first three errors

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 28 July 2020

Without a doubt, Jean Castex is a brilliant senior civil servant. But that does not make him the right man to become Prime Minister of France. He has not thought about how to restore the social pact in the face of financial globalisation and is satisfied with measures to buy social peace in the (...)

Lebanon faced with its responsibilities

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 22 July 2020

The Lebanese economy has collapsed in seven months. People are starting to go hungry. A solution is possible if the causes of the problem are properly analysed. However, it is still necessary to acknowledge one’s mistakes and to distinguish between what is structural and what emerges from (...)

USA: The slippery slope of egalitarian racism

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 14 July 2020

The reactions to the murder of black George Flyod by a white policeman do not refer to the history of slavery in the United States, but - like the systemic opposition to President Trump- to a profound problem in Anglo-Saxon culture: Puritan fanaticism. The domestic violence that rocked this (...)

Bipartisan torpedo against withdrawal from Afghanistan

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 July 2020

The war in Afghanistan was officially launched to avenge the attacks of September 11, 2001. However, it had been prepared beforehand. For two decades, we have been explaining in these columns that it is the first in a long series of wars aimed at destroying all state structures in the broader (...)

The slow disintegration of the Republic in France

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 12 July 2020

For the past three years, a profound protest has been heard throughout France. It has taken on hitherto unknown forms. Claiming to be a republican ideal, it is questioning the way in which political personnel serve the institutions. Faced with it, the President of the Republic monkeys a (...)

How the Big Two can establish peace in the Greater Middle East

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 30 June 2020

To make peace, it’s quite simple: you just have to stop making war with each other. But in the Greater Middle East, it is much more complicated, because there are a multitude of actors for whom a solution, whatever it may be, must satisfy conflicting claims. Under these conditions, no peace can (...)
