By: Melkulangara Bhadrakumar Noam Chomsky once wrote that the astronomical cost of the Bush-Obama wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, estimated into trillions of dollars, is a major victory for Osama bin Laden, whose announced goal was to bankrupt America by drawing it into a trap.  The Ukraine war too was planned as a trap for Russia. No one other than the the Bill Clinton administration’s point person for Russia, Strobe Talbot tweeted early this year when Russia’s special military operations began congratulating President Biden’s foreign policy team — Victoria Nuland, Antony Blinken and JakeSullivan — for having successfully cornered Russia.  Talbot didn’t call it a trap.

In Sweden, once seen as a bastion of social democracy, the Sweden Democrats, a virulently racist and anti-immigrant party with neo-Nazi roots won second place in national elections in September, backed by one in five voters, and its parliamentary support is crucial for the new centre-right coalition government.

Predappio (Italy) (AFP) – Thousands of supporters of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini paraded in his birthplace Sunday to mark the centenary of the historic "March on Rome" that ushered in Fascism. ADVERTISING Local police estimated the crowd at about 2,000 people who gathered to march in the small hilly town of Predappio in Emilia-Romagna, Mussolini's birthplace and site of his family crypt where he is buried.

But Sunday's gathering differed from previous ones, with Fascist sympathisers expressing support for Italy's new government led by Giorgia Meloni, the most right-wing to take office since World War II.
