The Mecca Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan is a response to insecurity and waning American power in the region. The question is whether the new security order will produce more violence rather than less.

The Caribbean of the 1970s was marked by major political and social upheaval. Cricket became a primary vehicle for asserting West Indian independence — and defeating England was paramount.

Washington has spent 64 years trying to kill Cuba’s economy. The numbers say it worked — and that Moscow’s subsidies only postponed the reckoning.

Having long boasted about putting their own countries’ interests first, Europe’s far-right parties are now slavishly supporting the latest US-Israeli war. While they opt for vassalage, antiwar forces have turned out to be the real defenders of sovereignty.
