 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. NATO's July 11-12 summit in Vilnius, Lithuania will mark a major escalation of the US-led alliance's rapidly-expanding war with Russia. The unprecedented indictment of an ex-president on felony charges is an expression of the increasingly bitter conflict within the US ruling elite. The wildfires are of unprecedented intensity and scope, creating extremely hazardous air quality. The DSA and other pseudo-left groups have said nothing about the strike by 525 workers in Holland, Ohio, lining up with the de facto information blackout by the media and the UAW apparatus. The World Socialist Web Site urges workers to vote to authorize a strike by the widest possible margin. But in and of it itself, this resolves nothing. Workers must begin organizing themselves now to take the conduct of the fight out of the hands of the apparatus. The union has released no information about the deal. The contract will be reviewed by Teamsters officials in Chicago next week before being sent to a vote.

Amid the forest of emails surrounding the case and the questions of who, among the partners of the firm, knew what and when, etc., the essence of what PwC did, largely in plain sight, is straight forward enough. Rising global geopolitical tensions have added a new dimension to the struggle between New Delhi and Beijing for strategic influence in landlocked Nepal, which is sandwiched between China and India. Ahead of the October 14 election, the political and media establishment is fomenting a "cultural" and race-based frenzy to divert attention from the right-wing agenda being prepared for the entire working class. Wave of strikes in education and healthcare continues across all of Europe; protests continue in Iran as economic condition worsens; Nigeria: union federation calls off nationwide strike against fuel price hike in face of legal challenge About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
