Ukraine And The
Danger Of Nuclear War
By John Scales Avery
http://www.countercurrents.org/avery130314.htm
The
current situation in Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula is an extremely dangerous
one. Unless restraint and a willingness to compromise are shown by all of the
the parties involved, the crisis might escalate uncontrollably into a full-scale
war, perhaps involving nuclear weapons. What is urgently required is for all the
stakeholders to understand each other's positions and feelings. Public
understanding of the points of view of all sides is also very much
needed

Al-Aqsa vs. Israel: The Lurking Danger Beneath
By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud130314.htm
Something
sinister is brewing around and below al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem,
and it has the hallmark of a familiar Israeli campaign to strip the Mosque of
its Muslim Arab identity. This time around, however, the stakes are much
higher
Washington’s Back-to-the-Future Military Policies in Africa
By Nick Turse
http://www.countercurrents.org/turse130314.htm
A
new type of expeditionary warfare is underway in Africa, but there’s little to
suggest that America’s backing of a former colonial power will ultimately yield
the long-term successes that years of support for local proxies could not. So
far, the U.S. has been willing to let European and African forces do the
fighting, but if these interventions drag on and the violence continues to leap
from country to country as yet more militant groups morph and multiply, the risk
only rises of Washington wading ever deeper into post-colonial wars with an
eerily colonial look. “Leveraging and partnering with the French” is the current
way to go, according to Washington. Just where it’s going is the real
question
Death Of A Trade Unionist: Bob Crow, A Genuine Socialist Who
Remained True To His Principles
By Colin Todhunter
http://www.countercurrents.org/hunter130314.htm
British
trade union leader Bob Crow died suddenly at age 52 on Tuesday of a suspected
heart attack. He had been leader of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers
Union since 2002. Once described as a ‘dinosaur’, a relic from a different
period, he stayed firm to his left wing principles and fought tooth and nail for
his members’ rights
Smash or Be Smashed? Lenin's Theory of The State
By Thomas Riggins
http://www.countercurrents.org/riggins130314.htm
We
must remember that bourgeois rule takes many forms but in essence even the most
democratic bourgeois state is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie (of the 1% over
the 99% as it were). Until we arrive at a classless society we have only two
kinds of state to live in-- both of them class dictatorships, one of the 1% over
the 99%, the other of the 99% over the 1%-- there is no third, so in the words
of the old song "Which side are you on?"
1933 of 2014 ! :Time To
Break New Grounds In Confronting Communal Fascism!!
By Subhash Gatade
http://www.countercurrents.org/gatade130314.htm
Any
sane person would agree that the situation as it exists today is just an
indication of the emerging crisis which is in store for us. While the immediate
question on the agenda before many of us is what will happen in 2014 when the
elections are held, we cannot shy away from the fact that there are deeper
causes involved and that is why a man worthy to be condemned as Modern Day Nero
is 'Hriday Samrat' for many amongst the crowd
