On Monday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) stated that there is a legal basis to stop and board some oil tankers around Venezuela, but that’s “sort of beside the point.” And “we could cut off funds for” this kind of operation. Smith said, “There is a legal basis for it…if you’re one of these vessels, if you’re flying under a false flag or no flag, and if you are engaged in illegal activities. This goes on all over the world. The dark fleet you referred to earlier, no one operates more dark fleet vessels than Russia,…
A plan to outlaw the centuries-long practice forms part of the country’s latest animal welfare strategy The British government has set out plans to ban the live boiling of lobsters and crabs under its latest animal welfare strategy.The proposal appears in the new strategy published on Monday, and follows the government’s decision in 2022 to formally recognize decapod crustaceans and cephalopod molluscs as sentient beings.The document says there are gaps in understanding how live animals move through supply chains “from catch to kill,” making it harder to prevent “unnecessary pain or suffering.” To address this, the government said it will…
The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Monday denied accusations from the European Council (EC) that Tehran has been assisting Russia with its invasion of Ukraine. After discussions with Ukraine on Friday, the EC produced a statement condemning “third countries, actors, and entities therein” for supporting Russia’s war, specifically including “military support provided by Iran, Belarus, and the DPRK (North Korea).” “The European Council urges all countries to immediately cease any assistance to Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine, whether direct or indirect, notably through the provision of dual-use goods or components,” the statement said. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil…
Monday on MS NOW’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) likened CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss to a “reporter on the payroll of Vladimir Putin.” Reportedly, Weiss pulled a “60 Minutes” segment because she felt the outlet did not do enough to get Trump administration officials on the record. Raskin said the decision suggested the outlet was acting as if it were “state-controlled TV.” “In what ways are companies like CBS or Paramount, or any of the parent companies involved here, accountable to their shareholders, accountable to Congress, accountable to the people, if they decide to be part of…
The Japanese government is preparing to revise its immigration rules to make it more difficult for foreigners to obtain citizenship, including doubling the required period of residency in Japan and adding a requirement for Japanese language proficiency. Japan has a basic law for requirement citizenship, known as the Nationality Law, that stipulates “five years or more” of residency in Japan before a foreigner can apply for citizenship. The applicant must also be at least 18 years of age, demonstrate financial independence, and have a clean legal record. The administration of Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae is planning to add rules that…
On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) said that there may be a legal justification to go after some Venezuelan oil tankers, but he is worried “that we’re going to turn Venezuela into another American military involvement or into a failed state.” Sherman said, “Well, there may be legal justification to go after this one tanker, but this started as if we were focused on drugs. And we quickly learned that that was just a ruse. Because while Trump has murdered the mules, he has liberated the kingpins, including Juan Hernandez, who was serving 45 years…

Moscow has long criticized Western restrictions, warning that they violate international law and harm global economic stability US Senator Lindsey Graham has urged Washington to ramp up restrictions against Russia, including sanctioning China over its energy imports from Moscow and seizing tankers carrying Russian oil.Last month, US President Donald Trump proposed a roadmap to resolve the Ukraine conflict, which Kiev and its European backers have rejected as favoring Russia, while stalling settlement efforts with counterproposals and accusing Moscow of delaying peace.In an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Graham, a longtime Russia hawk, echoed that stance, claiming that…
If the US empire wants to make the world less tyrannical, its first and only move should be to dismantle itself.Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): President Trump has been holding talks with top advisors this week regarding potential US attacks on Venezuela in order to bring about regime change in yet another oil-rich nation.As the western political/media class frames Venezuela’s President Maduro as a “dictator” who must urgently be removed from power, it is worth noting that any US military operation to remove him would be taking place directly against the will of the American public.…
