https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/07/trump-deal-chagos-islands-mauritius-uk. #Mauritius will tell Donald #Trump where he can stick that idea - namely, in a part of his anatomy where the Sun never shines. The #Chagos #Islands have first to be returned to #Mauritian #sovereignty in any event, or they couldn't be sold by them. Perhaps Trump will seek to buy them from the #UK, instead - he is, after all, an #imperialist of the worst kind!
Trump reportedly considers buying Chagos Islands from Mauritius

Potential proposal would secure control of Diego Garcia base amid stalled UK plans to cede sovereignty of territory

On #ThisDayInHistory in 2004 one of the worst presidents in US history, #RonaldReagan, died. A #ConspiracyTheorist, #imperialist, & hardcore #racist, he led one the most criminal administration we've had yet, with 138 officials indicted. Listen to this →

@gopi How can anyone consider #Putin ’s #russia a reliable partner? Putin sees every alliance as a tool for his reckless #imperialist ambitions. Even #china which is skillfully exploiting Putin’s desperation for support, is proceeding with caution—so much so that it recently rejected a proposal for a second #gas #pipeline from Russia. Putin is utterly unreliable.

[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

At the #UNSecurityCouncil, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs #BrunoRodriguez called on the international community to act to prevent the “human catastrophe” that could result from the ongoing energy #blockade and potential #US #military aggression.

Thousands of Cubans would die defending their homeland,” he said. “And young US citizens would also perish, without a cause or ideal worth fighting for, dragged into violence by an #imperialist, neofascist policy of domination, plunder and conquest.”

We got a new game announcement which will probably interest quite some civfanatics! Dale, co-developer of #OldWorld and long-time civ fan is now working on his own independent game, called #Imperialist . As you can guess from the context and title, this is a turn-based 4X game, set during the age of imperialism. You might now be thinking about "Colonization", but this game is not about creating a new state in the old world, but forging an empire which spans the the whole world. The graphics have retro flair though and are definitely aimed at long time civ fans, and for who remembers it also the "Imperialism" sries! Otherwise you will get more intricate supply chains and more advanced diplomacy with friends and foes, making this game a potential new candidate for the "one-more-turn" syndrome at the end of this year.

The game is scheduled for release in Q4 2026. You can find the Steam entry here https://store.steampowered.com/app/4351070/Imperialist/ and discuss it with us here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/imperialist-exploit-the-new-world-to-control-the-old.703219/ .

“We Are Being Driven To Our Doom By Mindless Machines Of Our Own Making”

by Caitlin Johnstone in Caitlin’s Newsletter on Substack

#War. #Militarism. #Ecocide. #Exploitation. #Imperialist extraction. These things happen because they are profitable, and we are led by systems and institutions which consistently cause the most profitable thing to happen. They continually slant all movement toward the most profitable outcome, regardless of the negative impact it can have on human beings and the other organisms with whom we share this planet”

There is no reason why the #UK should get to #occupy a group of #islands off the southern tip of #SouthAmerica. It is a staging ground for #imperialist #intervention against South American #sovereignty.

The vast territorial waters around it are also being licensed out for #Israeli and #American #oil ventures, taking #profit rightfully belonging to #Argentina.

Argentina was there well before the #dictatorship. The #USA forced them out.

What does he care about the #independence & #sovereignty of #Mauritius? The man is an #imperialist. He doesn't care about the inhabitants of the #ChagosIslands, or their #opinions - all he cares about is #US control over #DiegoGarcia. Keir #Starmer is PATHETIC!
