Dear IPB, How can I finance you if after 135 years of promising a world without wars, you gave us war after war, two World Wars, Vietnam, Korea, Russia-Ukraine, Israel with many countries, the Biafra, Cambodia and other genocides, etc, etc, etc. I'll support you the...

Dear Maung Zarni, Whilst I understand your argument perfectly well, and I have always said ‘Religion is the poison of the human mind’ as well as “in order for humanity to survive, Religion must die”, I have come to realise that in the modern world, Religion is a very...

The Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev rejecting further military aid to Ukraine and calling for a diplomatic solution to the war. This means Mr Radev either lives in cuckooland or that he is, like so many politicians, a hypocrite, a well trained "diplomat". Prime...

Dear GG, it seems you believe UN diplomats and politicians care about people's wellbeing! all the inconveniences, expenditure, housing, education, health and employment problems, cost of living, environmental pollution, homelessness and other humanitarian crisis...

GG, your analysis of US Senator Lindsey Graham's death and possible causes is excellent. However, saying "....since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022" is extremely inaccurate and misleading. Of course, in games of wars, the country commissioned to start...

My reply to the question "who leads the war racket?" There are no leaders. The War Business is a permanent competition between countries with a war industry. I give you one example, but you can use it to all conflicts in the world. During the very violent years of the...

GG, I'm afraid, in this particular instance, you misinterpret political/diplomatic/military/Media language. NATO’s narrative of Ukrainian victory is spot on. Ukraine is the star country for NATO. Thanks to Ukraine and its puppet president, NATO chiefs have managed to...

Your article, GG. is misleading. You report that "Moscow tells Berlin to stop arming Kiev instead of preaching peace". But Germany is not arming Kiev. Germany is selling arms to Kiev, like they sell to other countries and like many other countries sell artillery to...

Two Fronts, One Strategic Architecture By global geopolitics on July 10, 2026 How RAND’s Russia strategy and Brookings’ Iran strategy were written into the wars that followed RAND Corporation is not an independent commentator sitting outside the American state. It is...

PD ALL wars are 'proxy' wars, for those who fight them are only following orders. They have to fight against, torture, kill, people they've never met, people who've done nothing to them personally. The people who actually 'make' war, are men and women sitting in an...

Dear GG, what matters is not 'who' finances wars or 'who' procures weapons. All countries have their 'weapon programmes', even countries 'without' a war industry. The war business is not about 'manufacturing', it is about buying and selling. It is natural that...

On 1–2 August 2026, Heads of State will gather in Luanda, Angola for an Extraordinary Summit of the African Union (AU) on Strengthening Mechanisms for Conflict Prevention and Resolution in Africa. THIS MEANS WE CAN CONFIDENTLY EXPECT MORE CONFLICTS, WARS, VIOLENCE,...

GG, your analysis of the American economy as affected by military spending is correct from a conventional point of view. However, in real terms, that is the "reality", is different. In times of crisis, medical research, Health in general, Hospitals, education,...

UNIVERSITY VERSUS LUCRATIVE CAREERS For a well paid and many-perk career, it is better to become a professional government slave and murderer; that is, join a branch of the Armed Forces and go on killing and destruction rampages whenever politicians' orders come. If...

For you GG, the dispute between Estonia and the European Shooting Confederation (ESC) "shows how international competitions have become entangled with the geopolitical stance against Russia by the West." I'd invite you to study the history of sport, analyse the...

Middle East Ceasefire or a Bigger War? You contribute to the 'bigger war' you do NOTHING to eliminate the war industry and the Armed Forces. Politicians have the obligations to ensure the industries products are sold and used. That is the ONLY way the Death and...

GG, your excellent article "America’s Terrorist Pipeline For War with China" is the best way of showing the world what I've been saying for decades: without politicians, without governments, we would not have Terrorism. They control everything, mercenary armies,...

GG, I'm truly surprised you don't know who rules America! It's been ruled for decades, like many other countries, by the war industry and subsidiary institutions, like Banks, Media, oil companies, etc. HUFUD Founder & President https://hufud.org/...

  London 5th of July 2026. Your Holiness, in the speech you gave yesterday in Lampedusa, Italy, you said "Europe should work towards creating a world where nobody is forced to emigrate". Don't you know that Europe, like America, Africa, Asia and Oceania have...

GG, thank you for your article on what you call "Three theatres – Iran, Ukraine, and now the Philippines – one recurring pattern of escalation dressed as restraint". I understand your message and analysis, but I would like to add the three countries you discuss do not...

Why do you say "Information Space Has Become the Decisive Battleground of 21st-Century Conflict" only? all wars of the 20th Century were also based on false information specifically designed to mislead populations. And this practice applies not only to the United...

[This video by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky and Drago Bosnic was first published by Global Research. You can watch it here.] In the West, millions of people have lost their jobs and their lifelong savings. In developing countries, poverty, famine and despair prevail. In...

Dear IEP, Record Conflicts Drive Peace to Historic Low NOT as AI Warfare Surges. War has being 'surging' steadily for decades, long before AI arrived. Same as WWII had more sophisticated arsenals than WWI, WWIII must have more sophisticated killing toys than WWII. The...

GG, your reasoning is 100% correct and what we have to remember is that, with different words, the Defense Planning Guidance document articulates the same ideas - and orders - that forty five years earlier, the late US president Dwight Eisenhower 'dictated' in his...

US Forces Strike Iran In Response to Tehran's Attack On Hormuz Shipping The US military said it conducted strikes against Iranian sites in response to Tehran's attack on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, in the latest threat to the fragile cease-fire agreed...

The Racket That Never Sleeps 2 GG, your description war, as you analyse Major General Smedley Butler's thoughts on the subject, is faultless. However the Alternative to war, as suggested by Margaret Mead is not so accurate. Ms Mead says "The greatest obstacle to peace...

Yes GG, you are right, war is a racket, but don't blame the organisers of war (politicians, governments) or the war industry itself. They are all doing their job, fulfilling their duties. Blame brainwashed humanity, who blindly or passively accept militarism. You ,...

WAR GAMES We read “Russia attacked Ukraine” and “Ukraine attacked Russia”, but the truth is that both countries attack each other, and this is how it was agreed to happen. Politicians are not stupid. Why would they spend billions in the “attack” industry and on...

  The Iranian navy, “vaporized 8 times” 💥, respawned like a zombie and shut down Hormuz again 🧟🚢 The US “won 8 times” the war that wasn’t a war, didn’t exist, but still destroyed everything anyway 🌀 Now they’re sprinting to open a strait that was never closed....

Dear GG, your explanation of why “American Democracy is a Myth” is first class, but you miss one very important point when you refer to the late former American President Dwight Eisenhower. You write that in 1961 “he warned about the growing influence of the...

GG, your analysis is correct, the American and Israeli military campaign against Iran was straightforward: sustained aerial bombardment, but I think you you miss one point: Iran was prepared for what happened, as with all armed conflicts, everything was negotiated in...

Laura Buchan, legal director with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS), warned that carrying knives is blighting communities and destroying young lives. Speaking about the teenager who killed John McNab, she said: “Within Scotland’s prosecution...

My reaction after reading WWW's article "This amendment is key to how we cut the Pentagon budget — and it’s being debated NOW" Working families struggling to put food on the table, pay their bills, and cover high gas prices do not result from Trump’s war on Iran but...

Day 99: no agreement, no compromise with the colonizers, ever There is agreement!!! the agreement to fight. Without war agreements there would be no fighting. Politicians have slaves (Armed Forces) at their disposal and train them to fight, torture, kill, die, destroy...

Everything you write in your excellent analytical article “Everyone Wants to Be Great Again” is accurate, but the most important words, the most meaningful message is in the subtitle of the piece: “The Putin–Xi Multipolar Declaration, the Data Behind It, and Why...

USA identifying China as the primary systemic competitor, means nothing in reality. Competition is a healthy activity, very stimulating and most productive.   In fact, USA and China have an all-round excellent business arrangement, with China being the largest -...

Why do you say "the Iran War"? the war involves many countries. Firstly USA and Israel, then all countries selling military paraphernalia to all three countries and the war supremo, who watches and supervises all wars in the world, the obedient UN 'Secretary' General....

I very much hope Global Geopolitics continues and increases the education of its readers. 99% of the readers believe that diplomats are paid to betray their own country, without asking themselves why are these people called 'diplomats' in the first place.   A...

Why the "Ukraine War"? it is the "Russia-Ukraine" war, the lethal and destructive game agreed between the the two governments. Russia politely gave Ukraine the months requested by the smaller country to increase the number of fighters, desperately training innocent...

Hello Alon,   Sorry that I don't become a paid reader of you rants, but I don't learn anything from what you say, despite you telling us the truth..   All negotiations to prevent war are "false". They have to be. The gullible world still believe the War...

To me, the Architecture of Power is very visible!   Your "transnational oligarchs" can be people born in the poorest homes. Your "class interest" are in reality 'money or business interests'. There are hundreds of such people who are totally illiterate, who've...

All of this, financial losses, market breakdown, Economic contraction, energy disruption, inflation, rising debt costs is what governments generated in the thirties in order to produce WWII. As people accept the immorality of war and the war industry, politicians have...

Jews were not in Israel 5,000 years ago. They invaded, slaughtered and occupied the lands they claim. It's ALL in the Tannach, one of the bloodiest books ever written.   When the Ottomans invaded, around the 9th century, Jews didn't fight back, they left.  ...

Bombs NEVER replace Bridges! bombs destroy bridges. This is exactly what they are made for. I oppose bombs (and all killing toys), so I have the right to complain about their manufacturing and trade. But anybody who accepts Militarism. that is the War Industry and the...

To me, BRICS or no BRICS makes no difference at all to humanity. The moment BRICS countries accept the waste of billions in Armed Forces, War industry and wars, they are the same as non-BRICS countries. Their economy, as well as that of their citizens will NEVER...

Everything is running smoothly according to plan, to the sinister plan of the war industry, who uses governments, all of them protected by the war supremo, (right now his name is Antonio Guterres, but it is the job of anybody called UN "Secretary" General)....

Sometimes I feel this article is about criticizing the United States of America than about the truth. Targeted political assassination are practiced by many governments.   As to what Harry S. Truman said, that 'ultimate accountability in matters of state rests...

Peace will come when politicians in Iran, Israel and USA - and all countries with Armed Forces - stop benefiting financially.   NEVER forget "war is a racket"

" Unprovoked Iran Conflict"??????? Iran, like USA and the rest of the world play their role as members of the war club UN VERY WELL. Do you think Iranian politicians have nothing better to do with money than keep huge Armed Forces, buy thousands of missiles and...

The Iran war is not failing. Wars are a 'racket' and one of the reasons governments involved do everything they can to promote them and make them last as long as possible.   The war industry supports politicians and political parties that support them....

BRICS is interested in "oil prices, fuels global inflation, reshaping, economic power balances". People dying in this futile and immoral wars doesn't seem to bother them.

With all my admiration for Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, I think that he makes the same mistake as most analysts and commentator. Why does he discuss only "Western" influence in global politics. Does he not know that the world is one and that "global politics"...

Of course Ali Larijani was not a battlefield commander, but that doesn't matter in war games, which by the way, Iranian politicians and military involved in buying more missiles are enjoying very much (juicy commissions, $$$$$$$. What matters is to do anything that...

Instead of 'striking back', China should use old Chinese wisdom and discuss the matter diplomatically with the Panamanian authorities over long first class meals and make Panama see the many 'disadvantages' their attitude causes to the small - but very beautiful -...

Yes, that is the correct starting point for analysing the recent pattern of aircraft losses, using GG reasoning and is perfectly valid.   However, there is another equally valid 'starting point', the economic one. In my long life, I've never seen politicians pay...

Warren, I understand your position, but similarly to what JWs do, there are thousands, millions over the years, in all Religions, who refuse to go to war. Of course, obtuse patrios call them 'traitors' but they don't care. There is the 105-year old organisation WRI...

"never anything is simple, but if politicians weren't forced to lie and keep lying to cover up their previous lies, things would be simpler. It's not the "network of actors" but the system that we should change. The actors come and go, change all the time, with or...

I read and read GG's comment "America Is Losing in the Middle East And Fast, Decades of Military Might, Gone in Days", and I wish I could find the way of making everybody understand that wars are not about losing or winning. Wars are a racket. War are the dirtiest,...

Open Letter, to Global Geopolitic   Professor Sayed Mohammad Marandi is wrong in saying ‘Iran is not interested in negotiating with Trump". Iran and US have already negotiated with America long ago. With the US and the United Nations. In 1979 they agreed to play...

War Is a Racket - And So Is the State Because it cannot be any other way. War and State are one. Only the State has the right to have Armed Forces. Only the state has the right to concoct, negotiate and carry out wars. Even private, mercenary armies are hired by the...

US and Iran met in Geneva to discuss the details. It was agreed by Uran that the three countries will have a go at a Game of War, kicked off by the Israel-US team. This gave the opportunity to Iran to get rid of missiles they were eager to change for new ones and...

“…..a non-compliant regional power whose position obstructs Western strategic dominance across Eurasia.” is the wrong way of looking at the situation. To me, it is not an issue of dominance, but helping humanity live a human, humane life. To this effect we must help...

All European countries have never stopped talking to Russia. Diplomats and politicians meet daily at the United Nations buildings in New York and Geneva. They not only talk, they share the restaurant, eat at the same tables, share bottles of wine and cigars in the...

For decades, mainstream cinema has relied heavily on violence as a perceived driver of commercial success. Explosions, battles, and armed confrontation are often treated as essential ingredients for attracting large audiences. Yet global box office data and audience...

For much of modern cinema, war has been treated as a shortcut to intensity—an assumed foundation for drama, heroism, and moral conflict. Yet history and audience response show that powerful storytelling does not depend on violence or militarised confrontation....

Cartoons are often perceived as simple entertainment, primarily aimed at children. Yet across cultures and generations, animated storytelling has carried some of the most enduring and accessible messages about peace, cooperation, and shared humanity. Far from being...

Cinema has long relied on war as a central dramatic device, often presenting armed conflict as inevitable, heroic, or necessary for meaningful storytelling. Yet across decades and cultures, a growing body of peace-focused films demonstrates a different truth:...

Anti-war movies remain powerful cultural phenomena that draw audiences around the world decades after their release, not simply because of cinematic craftsmanship but because they tap into deep human concerns about violence, loss, and the costs of conflict. At a time...
