 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Trump is implementing the goals of his failed January 6, 2021 putsch, enabled by the cowardice and complicity of the Democrats. The Trump administration is mobilizing the largest naval force in the Caribbean Sea since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, in open preparation for a massive and illegal war against Venezuela. The White House plans to allow tens of millions to go hungry as a form of political blackmail over the shutdown, through which Trump is seeking to seize control of the federal budget process from Congress and consolidate executive power. There was a lively discussion focused on the scale of the attacks on democratic rights by the Trump administration, and the role that students could play in fighting back. What is one to make of the events referenced to in 2+2=5, many of them disturbing or even horrifying? And what is to be done about them? The nearly 10-week strike by 675 Libbey Glass workers in Toledo, Ohio, is rapidly approaching the longest in the company's history—the 2.5-month walkout in 1974. Behind his hot air on the picket line, the real purpose of O'Brien's visit is to help shut the strike down. Two workers were killed when a crane mounted on a barge toppled over while they were cutting pipe for a redevelopment project site on the Mystic River. The disaster is the second major explosion at a munitions factory in Russia in less than a week. Healthcare workers and teachers, who were among 100,000 people on strike last Thursday, spoke about the impact of poverty and homelessness on schools and hospitals, and denounced the National Party-led government's support for war and genocide. US President Donald Trump has canceled all trade war negotiations with Canada, and announced he is slapping a further 10 percent tariff on Canadian exports to the US. The global economic war waged by the US against the world, and particularly against China, is once again hitting Europe's car industry hard. VW has announced production stoppages and is already negotiating with the Federal Employment Agency over short-time work starting in November. Moi's integration into Ruto's government represents the fusion of two wings of the same corrupt bourgeoisie, the KANU dynasty that perfected one-party rule and the Ruto-Odinga clique now enforcing International Monetary Fund austerity through police repression. Educators and students joined the meeting to oppose the assault on university education and its transformation to meet the needs of the corporate elite and the war machine. The meeting organisers—above all, the Greens and pseudo-left organisations—promoted the illusion that the demolition of the housing towers was simply a policy mistake that protests and pressure would compel the state Labor government to reverse. Soldier F, the only member of the British Army to stand trial for the Bloody Sunday shootings in 1972, was found not guilty last week in an extraordinarily belated trial characterised as a result by weak evidence. Kosovo elections rebuff KLA; Ford backs NYC austerity; Nationalist uprising in Puerto Rico; Mikhail Frunze poisoned by Stalin 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.
