Donald Trump’s threat to take over Greenland has escalated compared to a year ago, when he was just sworn in as president. He has threatened tariffs, military force, and all sorts of other things. It is still uncertain where it will all end, but it has put the Danish government under enormous pressure and, at the same time, shocked many people at home.

The movement against ICE in Minneapolis is not just any ordinary protest – it is a microcosm of the revolutionary events that will shake the United States in the period ahead. With their class struggle methods, culminating in the first general strike in America in 80 years, the workers of Minneapolis not only forced Trump to retreat, they have also inspired millions across the country and the world.

The bosses’ organisation, Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (FEB), dubbed it the “€1 billion strike”. They were referring to the supposed financial loss caused by the three-day strike on 24, 25, and 26 November. This bosses’ propaganda, aimed at frightening workers, instead resulted in many people thinking: “Wow, is this the wealth that our work produces in just three days? And what would happen if the CEOs and shareholders stopped working? In reality, nobody would notice. We are the real wealth creators!”

Minneapolis has yet again become the epicenter of the class struggle in the United States. The city that sparked the 2020 George Floyd uprising has seized the attention of class-conscious workers and youth across the country for three weeks—and at present, there’s no sign of things slowing down.

Where is Donald Trump’s wild ride taking the world? Has the spectacle of Maduro’s kidnapping dealt a significant blow to Chinese influence and power in Latin America? Are the Yanks at the beginning of a successful drive to kick out ‘non-hemispheric actors’ in the Western Hemisphere? And if so, will the result be a world carved up into neatly defined spheres of influence, with East and South East Asia left to China?

A massacre of Rojava and the Kurds is being prepared in Syria. The Islamist regime, headed by Ahmed al-Sharaa and backed by the West, has launched an offensive into the north-east of the country and has surrounded the historic Kurdish fortress-city of Kobane on the northern border with Turkey. ​​

On a profoundly historic weekend, nearly 20 revolutionary communists and sympathisers from across Taiwan, together with comrades from the International Centre of the Revolutionary Communist International in London, gathered in Taipei for an intensive, tightly organised, and politically rich series of discussions. These discussions not only raised the comrades’ theoretical level, but also set out a clearer and more forward-looking direction for our work ahead internationally, and in Taiwan.

This article was originally published on 14 January, 2026. The situation between the USA and Greenland has developed very quickly, and so parts of this article may have been superseded by events. And yet, in analysing Trump’s reasons for wanting Greenland, and the hypocrisy of the Danish ruling class – who fear losing their colonial possession – this article remains useful in understanding the general processes that are now unfolding at pace.

2026 began with a bang. More precisely, it began with bombs exploding in Caracas and the kidnapping of Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro. In case you weren’t aware, that’s not supposed to happen in the “rules based international order.” 

Donald Trump has bulldozed his way into 2026. Now, he has put the acquisition of Greenland at the top of his new year’s wishlist, sending the Europeans into panic and jeopardising trans-Atlantic relations even further.

Two weeks since ICE agents in Minneapolis murdered protester Renee Good, the movement that erupted in response to her killing continues to gain momentum. In the epicenter of 2020’s George Floyd uprising, protesters have clashed with police and ICE thugs. Ordinary workers are organizing and strategizing to safeguard their neighbors and coworkers, and the idea of a citywide general strike has seized the imagination of a growing layer of the population. This speaks volumes about the mood of class rage permeating US society as the “war on terror” is turned directly

In an extraordinary escalation of the repression against the international Palestine movement, journalist and founder of red. media Hüseyin Doğru has been made a non-person by the European Commission. The nature of the sanction levelled against Doğru really is extraordinary. In effect, with this action the European Commission has given itself the right to completely negate any individual’s democratic and human rights.

Donald Trump’s desire to seize control of Greenland and its resources has brought US imperialism into conflict with Europe. This puts Starmer in a quandary, as he and the British establishment attempt a delicate, unsustainable balancing act.

As of November 2025, the Modi-led BJP government has started to bring its new Labour Codes into effect. These laws represent nothing short of a wholesale decimation of workers’ rights and conditions, aimed at turning us into nothing but raw material for exploitation. The Revolutionary Communists of India – RCI(I) support the central trade unions’ call for an all-India general strike on 12 February to repel Modi’s latest attack!

Every day that passes since the imperialist aggression of 3 January, and the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president and his wife, brings new information that clarifies the picture and needs to be analysed.
