February 9, 2022 UNAC Editor Africa, Human Rights, Imperial Wars, U.S. Aggression

by Maj. Danny Sjursen, published on Antiwar.com, February 3, 2022 Let’s be honest: Americans don’t care about Africa – by and large, at least. Despite the lies we tell ourselves – and the raging debates we have – about PC-culture, critical race theory, and so on, this remains a salient fact. Sure, the delusion is soothing. It tends to bring[…]

French, published on World Politics Review, November 10, 2021 The standard, “flirting with apocalypse” narrative that dominates U.S. media coverage and political debates regarding climate change goes something like this: China, which is the world’s biggest carbon emitter, and India, which is lightly industrialized and still quite substantially poor, currently represent the biggest threats to saving the[…]

November 5, 2021 UNAC Editor American Exceptionalism, Austerity, Civil Resistance, Economic Collapse, International Aid and Debt, Sanctions and Economic Warfare, Sudan

by Sara Flounders, published on International Action Center, November 2, 2021 Incredible exposure of U.S. actions to humiliate and impoverish the Sudanese people and destabilize Sudan.
