 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The central aim of Biden's State of the Union address was to conceal from the American people plans well under way to send US and NATO troops into direct military conflict with Russian forces, as the US-instigated war in Ukraine enters its second bloody year. Meetings with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, King Charles III, President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and a speech before the UK Parliament were used to promote NATO's continuing escalation toward a Third World War. As the German government and other leading NATO members continue to escalate the proxy war in Ukraine, Left Party chairman Martin Schirdewan seeks to conceal this war policy with phrases about "negotiations" and "diplomacy". According to a report from Hersh published on Wednesday, the destruction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline between Russia and Germany was carried out by the US Navy, in a mission planned before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Sri Lankan trade unions are attempting to dissipate rising mass anger against the government and its escalating social attacks through calling separate isolated actions and promoting illusions that the government can pressured to withdraw new income tax increases.

Due to the widespread indignation among teachers about the unsustainable conditions in the schools and the far too large classes, the GEW has already been forced eight times in recent months to hold similar protest actions. Yet again a technicality is used to override workers' right to strike, further exposing the draconian nature of government anti-strike legislation which the CWU does not challenge. Dannielle Gillingham spoke to World Socialist Web Site reporters during the February 6-7 strike by hundreds of thousands of National Health Service nurses and ambulance workers—the largest strike in the NHS since its foundation 75 years ago. The official death toll in the Turkey-Syria earthquake, which experts have long warning about, has passed 15,000, and is tragically expected to rise.
