The New Monroe Doctrine: How Washington Is Rewriting Sovereignty in the Age of Resource Politics

For months, US President Donald Trump has insisted his administration’s campaign in Venezuela is a counter-narcotics mission. Washington’s talking points lean heavily on the fentanyl crisis, the need for decisive action, the dangers of “transnational criminal networks.” Yet the U.S. State Department’s own 2025 report names Mexico and China as the only significant fentanyl sources affecting the United States. The document is explicit. The drug … Continue reading The New Monroe Doctrine: How Washington Is Rewriting Sovereignty in the Age of Resource Politics

The War In Sudan Is Still Happening And The World Has Moved On

Somewhere between the latest tech layoffs, celebrity gossip, and viral TikToks about how to season your trauma with lavender oil and affirmations, a war is still raging in Sudan. Yes, still. Not metaphorically. Not in the abstract. Real bombs, real bodies, real cities reduced to skeletal rubble. Real people, over 13 million of them fleeing from homes that once smelled of spice and promise. But … Continue reading The War In Sudan Is Still Happening And The World Has Moved On

Homo-sapien has had his day, folks. It’s just a matter of time until we all bow down to our new overlords: the machines.

This war

So far, I am untouched by this war. My family was profoundly touched by earlier wars. My great uncle was killed in Chimurenga. Not in combat, in a training accident while he was still in his teens. A cousin of mine was killed when his helicopter was shot down in Congo. I’ve run my fingers across his name on the Veteran’s monument in Gweru. My … Continue reading This war
