Leading Developments

Nov. 20, 2024 (EIRNS)—Over the past 48 hours, the strategy has become clear. After the Biden Administration refused to comment on the explosive revelations over the weekend that the United States has given Ukraine permission to use American missiles to strike targets deep inside internationally-recognized Russian territory—an acknowledged act of war—Ukraine unleashed a volley of missiles on Nov. 19 into Russia’s Bryansk Region. That on the same day that Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an executive order updating its nuclear weapons doctrine, which includes the qualification that “an aggression against Russia from any non-nuclear state but involving or supported by any nuclear state as their joint attack.”

Nov. 20, 2024 (EIRNS)—The “collective Biden’s” decision to publicly begin war with Russia, without the approval of the U.S. Congress, or consultation with the new President-elect, brought forth the following response from Ohio former Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who is running for Congress as an independent this year.

Nov. 17, 2024 (EIRNS)—The surprise announcement Sunday, Nov. 17 that the Biden Administration would now allow Ukraine to use American long-range missiles to strike Russian territory is a powerful reminder as to how close the world still is to thermonuclear war. As EIR has warned over the recent months and years, the proxy-war in Ukraine against Russia has put the world on the absolute precipice of global war—a situation which the war hawks in the trans-Atlantic are hell-bent on igniting. And the decision to approve Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons may just push it over the edge.

Nov. 16, 2024 (EIRNS)—The economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche urged many times, to friends, colleagues, and world leaders alike, that despite appearances, it is the future—not the past—that determines the present.

ov. 15, 2024 (EIRNS)—It’s been hardly a week since the election of President-elect Donald Trump in the U.S., and it’s already clear that big changes are afoot. The hysteria about some of Trump’s cabinet picks continues, in particular around the role of Tulsi Gabbard as the future Director of National Intelligence—a decision that could potentially transform the U.S. Presidency’s relationship to the intelligence community for the first time since the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy. There are, of course, plenty of other cabinet picks which are horrible. But the fact remains that a potential sea-change exists, and it is precisely for this reason that there is such a clamoring among the neoliberal establishment.

Harley Schlanger will join the Manhattan Project at 2pm EST to discuss the transition to a new, security and development architecture that is taking place, and how the U.S. can cooperate with it.

Nov. 14, 2024 (EIRNS)—There’s a very real idea that people are going to have to wrap their minds around, if they want a pathway out of thermonuclear confrontation. It is the matter of nations, with different situations, characteristics and problems, having a higher basis for benefiting from interactions with other nations. Do nations actually become better, become more of what they are uniquely capable of being, by their cultural, scientific and economic exchanges?

Don’t take your eyes off the prize. No diversions!! Our achievable goal, which we can win, is the creation of a new world security and development architecture, by introducing the economic projects designed by the late economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche as immediate, workable solutions for the worst crises presently plaguing the planet.

Nov. 13, 2024 (EIRNS)—In a Nov. 8 interview, retired Col. Douglas Macgregor spoke to the kind of profound re-thinking of policy needed in the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election. “People don’t think these things through,” Macgregor exclaimed. “We’ve got to give up the whole idea of sanctioning, bullying and threatening. We’ve got to get out a clean sheet of paper and start from scratch.” Macgregor, who served briefly as a senior adviser to the Secretary of Defense in Trump’s first term in office, pointed to “the financial crisis looming over the horizon” as a crisis that may help the U.S. to do just that.
