If anyone thought that US imperialism’s embarrassment in Iran would deter it from its escalating campaign of aggression against the Cuban Revolution, they were very mistaken. On several occasions, President Trump has indicated that he would “deal” with Cuba after he was finished with Iran. Since the 29 January executive order imposing an oil blockade on the island, Washington has continued to increase the pressure.

Two weeks ago, TV channel Canal Red released audio recordings of conversations between Honduran government officials. These recordings reveal a network of corruption and coercion involving Trump, Javier Milei, and even Benjamin Netanyahu. Together, they aim to establish a stronghold for US imperialism in Honduras and create a network to pressure left-wing governments in the region, such as those in Mexico and Colombia.

When Donald Trump returned to the Presidency of the United States back in January 2025, Europe’s right-populist leaders and politicians were jubilant.

Bold predictions were put forward in the aftermath of Trump’s 2024 electoral victory. Trump’s re-election signified, according to many, a fundamental cultural shift in America. Young people were ditching liberalism and “wokeness,” conservative values were becoming mainstream, and Trump was really going to make America great again.

Colombia is a country of contradictions. It has some of the world’s greatest biodiversity, abundant mineral wealth, and a vibrant people. Yet it suffers from imperialist domination, internal civil war, crime, and poverty. It is within this tumult that the Revolutionary Communists of Colombia (CRC) have been born. 

“A lot of people are going to understand,” Chamel Abdulkarim reportedly told his girlfriend over the phone just moments after burning down the 1.2 million square foot Kimberly Clark distribution center where he worked.

Odds are you’ve heard about so-called “prediction markets.” While traditional casinos fleece workers with games of chance, platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi allow users to gamble on anything. Users can bet not only on sports, but also who will show up to the Oscars, which words Trump will use in a speech, or whether this month will be the hottest April on record.

The war in Iran, which started as a reckless gamble on the part of Trump, is developing into a significant strategic defeat for US imperialism, which can have important consequences for the world economy, the position of America as a world power, and world relations in general. 

The US invasion of Venezuela at the beginning of this year is an event of historic significance. With the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife under a hail of bullets and bombs, the Trump administration announced the definitive end of the ‘rules-based’ world order.

On 7 March, 12 of the most reactionary Latin American leaders gathered at Trump’s golf course in Doral, Florida, to inaugurate the ‘Shield of the Americas’ (SOTA) strategic partnership. It marks a new chapter of national subservience and imperialist domination on the continent.

“Total and complete victory. 100 percent. No question about it.” With these words, Donald Trump described the two-week ceasefire with Iran announced last night.

Approximately 60 percent of Americans have opposed the war in Iran from its very outset. Compare that to the 90 percent of Americans who supported the war in Afghanistan when it commenced in 2001, and we can see at a glance what an enormous sea change has occurred in the US in the past two decades.

Four weeks into the US-Israel war of aggression against Iran, the war aims of US imperialism have not only not been achieved, but they look further away than before. Trump is faced with an impossible situation. If he cuts his losses and declares victory now that would represent a massive humiliation for US imperialism, and a massive personal blow. But any attempt to escalate would be fraught with danger and carry serious risks with only a slim chance of success. At the present time he appears as if he is attempting to do both at the same time.

The oil blockade decreed by Trump on 29 January is slowly but surely asphyxiating Cuba, which relies on oil imports for 60 percent of its energy production. The Cuban government has admitted talks are taking place with the United States, but these take place in conditions of extreme imperialist blackmail. How can the Cuban Revolution be defended?

Cuba is currently on the brink of a humanitarian crisis as a result of the oil embargo imposed by the United States and its imperialist campaign of threats and attacks against Latin America. The US is aiming to regain its dominance over the region and oust its economic and political rivals: Russia and China.
