The Wound They Refuse to Heal: Taiwan, Empire, and the War Against Chinese Sovereignty

The ongoing crisis is no mere conflict but a hyper-imperialist war where the U.S. threatens annihilation to maintain control over global energy chokepoints.

When Empire Finds God: The Intercept, The Holy War on Iran and the Rebirth of American Theocracy
A war sold through fear is now preached as destiny, as the language of intelligence gives way to the language of God.
