Making Sense of Trump?s Tariffs Fri May 02, 2025 13:00 | Ramesh Thakur
There's method in Trump's tariff madness, says Ramesh Thakur. Uniting his America First, anti-Net Zero and anti-DEI policies is an imperative to untangle the US from strategic dependence on an ascendant China.

Solidarity with the People of Ukraine - smash Fascism!
Saturday, May 10 at 12:00pm
O'Connell Monument, O'Connell Street, Dublin
Regrettably RTE seems to be parrotting whatever the Kiev Fascists put out in a press release but probably because the US embassy has ordered the government here to ensure their propaganda is repeated verbatim.
Their website makes no reference to the fact that it was the Kiev fascists who started shooting at unarmed civilians. Instead they report:
The Interfax-Ukraine news agency said police were trying to take back control of the police building when they came under fire from pro-Russians who had taken the interior ministry building.
Ukrainian forces brought several armoured cars into the town, a major industrial and shipping centre with a population of about half a million.
However the complete opposite is reported on RT.com and is backed up with video. The city had been celebrating Victory Day which the Kiev fascists clearly choose for its symbolic value. RT report.
Kiev’s forces are using heavy weaponry and tanks in the eastern city of Mariupol to storm the local Interior Ministry building, where police have barricaded inside. After residents began flocking to the scene, Kiev fighters opened fire on civilians.
Many people came to mark Victory Day, but as the reports of shooting started coming in, they moved on to show support for a few dozen policemen who had barricaded inside the building, refusing to take orders from Kiev.
One of the armored vehicles then opened fire at a group of unarmed civilians, according to a self-defense forces’ representative.
......
Earlier, self-defense forces in Mariupol reported that armed people had tried to seize the local city department of the Interior Ministry.
“Camouflaged people are storming the building of the city’s interior ministry department. A bus with soldiers has driven up – they are from a military unit located in the vicinity of Mariupol. Policemen who refuse to obey Kiev regime’s orders are being detained,” a representative of the self-defense forces told Interfax.
The self-defense forces also said that “policemen of the city department refused to obey Kiev’s orders and guard the building of the city council, which had been seized a day earlier by the Ukrainian security services. As a result, Kiev authorities decided to storm the building of the city Interior Ministry department, policemen are shooting back, the building is surrounded.”

The burning in Odessa was also likely the work of provocateurs.
There is strong evidence to suggest right sector shot and strangled many of the people inside
before setting the building alight.
Those that jumped out windows to try and save themselves were set upon by right sector thugs.
It looks like the US and it's allies are trying to set a trap for Russia by goading it into responding
to these actions so they can be mired militarily in ukraine and beset by more sanctions and media hatchet jobs.
It seems the strategy is to entrap russia then wear it out economically, militarily and damage it in the media.
