 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. As it enters its second year, the conflict has evolved into a war of US and European imperialism, with its NATO satellites, against Russia. The lies are being stripped away. In flagrant violation of the country's constitution and basic democratic rights, Sri Lanka's unelected president, Ranil Wickremesinghe, has cancelled the island-wide local elections to be held March 9. These remarks were given to an online meeting celebrating the fifth anniversary of the founding of the Young Guard of Bolshevik-Leninists, a Trotskyist organization in Russia and the former Soviet Union. The World Socialist Web Site has spoken with youth in different parts of Ukraine who oppose both the Zelensky government and the NATO powers, and the Russian oligarchic regime of Vladimir Putin, about their experiences since the beginning of the war. The United States will quadruple the number of US forces stationed on Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, in an effort to provoke a war with Beijing along the lines of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Both parties have engaged in mutual finger-pointing to deflect from their own responsibility for the disaster. As part of the decommissioning of the Indian Point nuclear generating station, the company doing the work intends to dispose of tritium-laced cooling water into the Hudson River, 30 miles upstream from New York City. The STWC's perspective was based on twin pillars, that the Labour and trade union left would lead a fight against war and European powers were a more peaceful alternative to US imperialism. Both have collapsed. Canada's state-owned national broadcaster is trumpeting a foul right-wing smear campaign aimed at silencing any voices critical of the US-NATO instigated war with Russia over Ukraine–a war in which Canadian imperialism is playing an especially provocative role. The date for mailing ballots in the second round of the UAW election has passed, and only 136,114 workers have cast votes, or 12 percent of eligible members. US Department of Labor (DOL) reports that Packers Sanitation Services Inc. committed 102 violations of child labor regulations involving underage youth working overnight and in hazardous conditions during cleaning operations. Republican Mark Brnovich had initially acknowledged Trump's defeat in the state in 2020, but began to collaborate with the election deniers when he sought the Republican nomination for US Senate in 2022. Award-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has shown through meticulous research that the US government was responsible for planning, preparing and executing the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines.

More than 30,000 Los Angeles school district (LAUSD) workers voted by 96 percent in favor of strike authorization two months after an impasse was declared in negotiations between the district and SEIU Local 99. The district has begun hiring scabs in the event of a strike while the union does everything to stifle strike action. "I think students should do whatever they can to fight against war." The central bank's monetary policy regime, advanced in the name of fighting inflation, is above all directed to the suppression of wage demands as it continually refers to a "tight" labour market. As a whole, Voodoo Macbeth, Anderegg concluded in his comment, was unable "to reconcile the complexities and contradictions into a fully satisfactory, coherent drama." The Morenoite Workers' Revolutionary Current (CRT) is seeking to sow illusions in the Podemos government and block an anti-war movement among youth and workers. National public transport workers' stoppage in Italy against privatisation, insecure employment and low wages; Continuing protests in Iran to commemorate two men executed for protesting murder of Amini by morality police; Public sector workers in South Africa plan indefinite walkout over 10 percent pay claim Public anger has been directed at the banks, largely owned by the country's oligarchs and ruling families, lending vast sums to the government to finance handouts to the plutocracy, while imposing strict controls on withdrawals by workers and their families that make it impossible for them to access their savings.
