In the Wake of the Trump-Putin Summit: Four Critical Truths

      No Comments on In the Wake of the Trump-Putin Summit: Four Critical Truths

The high-level summit conference between Trump and Putin last Friday in Alaska has dominated the news, and there will be more to come this week. The point of the conference was how to settle the bloody, dangerous war between Russia and Ukraine. In what quickly became a proxy war, Ukraine has been strongly backed by Europe and especially—until Trump took office—the U.S. Going in to the meeting, Trump had said he was demanding that Putin agree to a ceasefire as the first step; coming out, he dropped that demand. Since the conference, Trump has spoken highly of Putin and said that now the onus (the responsibility) is on the Ukrainian leader Zelensky to make a comprehensive deal with Putin before the ceasefire.

THE CRIME: At 8:15 am, on August 6, 1945, a blazing, million-degree fireball suddenly appeared just above the Japanese city of Hiroshima, instantly killing, burning alive, or vaporizing tens of thousands. Firestorms engulfed the city. Shockwaves and winds over 1,000 miles an hour came next, shattering bodies and buildings, hurling men, women, and children through the air. Nearly all structures were destroyed over a mile from ground zero.

Sunday, June 1, 3 am: It’s pitch dark in southern Gaza but already thousands of Gazans desperate to feed their families have gathered near the Al-Alam roundabout along the coastal road west of Rafah which Israel had designated a safe area. It’s about a half-mile from the U.S.-run, Israel-supported “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (GHF) aid station which was due to open at 5:00 am. 

Israel Announces Its Own “Auschwitz”

“We are conquering Gaza, clearing it out and taking control” 

If that headline shocks you, it shouldn’t. As an outright extermination camp, Auschwitz stands alone. 1.2 million people—overwhelmingly Jews—were systematically starved, degraded in countless ways and in the end herded into showers where they were gassed to death, en masse. The world was shamed to have stood by. Auschwitz was part of what the Nazis called the “final solution.”

More on the Trump Regime’s Assault on Birthright Citizenship—and Direct Fascist Attack on the Courts and Rule of Law

On Thursday this week, May 15, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case involving Trump’s executive order that aims to wipe out birthright citizenship. A decision is expected in June or July. As we wrote last week, if the Court rules for Trump in this case, “this will represent a further leap to all-out fascism. Yes, it is just that serious.”

The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go NOW!

For weeks, Trump and his minions have been all-but-openly defying federal court orders, including from the Supreme Court. Court orders not to deport hundreds of Venezuelan and Salvadoran men to a hellish prison in El Salvador—defied! Orders to explain how that happened and who was responsible—defied! Orders to provide some shred of evidence that people deported are actually the “violent gang-members,” “terrorists,” and “invaders” the Trump regime claimed they are—defied! An order from the Supreme Court, the highest court in the U.S. system, to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the government admitted had been deported by mistake to a Salvadoran prison—defied!
