Imperialism in a New Economic Guise - Opinion

The U.S. actions also violate international law. There appears to be no legitimate claim of self-defense on the part of the U.S.” Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations (UN) establishes that: “Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.” As a UN member, the U.S. government committed a clear violation of a principle enshrined in the Charter.
Imperialism in a New Economic Guise
History tends to repeat itself, even if in a different form. In 1900, an eight-country military coalition of Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Japan, Russia, Italy, and Austria-Hungary invaded China. More than a century later, another grouping of eight countries has taken shape. This time, however, the intent is not to invade a weak state but to shield one from a bully. The country concerned is Denmark, which has faced escalating demands from the United States to hand over Greenland, its autonomous territory.

The Imperial Politics of Starvation in Sudan.
Starvation in Sudan is not the by-product of chaos; it is a deliberate method of rule. The siege of El-Fasher was not a brief encirclement but an engineered famine, built trench by trench. By closing the routes from Mellit and Tawila, the RSF severed the arteries that once fed the markets and hospitals. In this theatre, humanitarian language becomes a moral cover for imperial continuity.
