"How many shocks does Europe need for it to grow up?"

In this powerful piece by Workers' Party of Belgium Secretary General Peter Mertens, the US’s imperialist power play with Zelenskyy exposes Europe’s subjugation and the urgent need for diplomacy over war.

From the humiliation of Ukraine to Europe’s blind allegiance to Washington, Mertens calls for a new path—one rooted in independence, respect for international law, and unity with Global South nations like Brazil and China.

As Europe teeters on the edge of militarization and hysteria, Mertens reminds us to rely on diplomacy.

🇨🇳 China has announced additional tariffs of 10-15% on US agricultural and food imports, set to take effect on March 10, in response to the Trump administration’s latest tariff hikes. Beijing has dismissed US allegations about fentanyl as a pretext for a trade war, accusing Washington of disregarding international norms and adopting a "cold war mentality."
The move comes as China also imposes export and investment restrictions on 25 US firms, some of which supply arms to Taiwan. Meanwhile, the US has added new tariffs on Chinese imports, further escalating tensions.
China insists on resolving disputes through equal negotiations, urging the US to abandon unilateralism and protectionism. 🌍💼 #TradeWar #ChinaUSRelations #GlobalEconomy

🌍 A New Era for the Sahel
The Alliance of Sahel States (AES)—Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso—has unveiled a new flag, marking a bold step toward regional unity, economic independence, and security. The flag, featuring a radiant sun, a baobab tree, and silhouetted figures, symbolizes hope, growth, and the shared future of the three nations.
Since withdrawing from ECOWAS earlier this year, the AES has launched a Sahel-wide passport system, established a joint military force, and announced plans for a single currency to reduce reliance on colonial-era systems. These moves reflect a broader push to dismantle colonial legacies and assert sovereignty in the face of external pressures.
The AES’s efforts have drawn widespread support across Africa, with many seeing it as a model for Pan-Africanism and self-reliance. 🌱✊ #AES #Sahel #PanAfricanism #Decolonization

Renowned US economist Jeffrey Sachs addressed the European Parliament in February, shedding light on how the United States has drawn the world into wars across multiple continents—conflicts often fueled by US interests and its military-industrial complex.
