Tonight at 8 EST: “Trump’s cabinet: Of the oligarchy, by the oligarchy and for the oligarchy”
Authorizing strikes deep inside Russia, NATO powers seek to provoke escalation of war
 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The NATO powers are knowingly and deliberately crossing a "red line" that Russian President Vladimir Putin had indicated would lead to a military response. This decision has as its aim the continuation and escalation of the war and, to some extent, a deliberate provocation. Donald Trump's threat to force through his slate of far-right cabinet nominees as "recess appointments" without Senate confirmation votes marks a significant step in the de jure breakdown of constitutional forms of government. According to the Detroit News, the automaker has laid off nearly 4,000 workers in Detroit and Toledo metro areas since September alone. United and effective action by Stellantis workers worldwide can only be achieved by the rank-and-file in direct opposition to the economic nationalism and corporatism of the trade union bureaucracy. As they escalate their war with Russia in Ukraine in defiance of mass popular opposition, the European NATO countries are risking total war between the major nuclear powers. The immediate task of the new naval headquarters on Germany's Baltic coast is developing a so-called situational maritime picture in this critical region as part of NATO's war offensive against Russia. Turkey, Italy, Cyprus and Greece play a key role in providing transshipment services to Israel. As the terminus of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline, Turkey ranks first in terms of volume, accounting for 26 percent. In its campaign material for a "Student Strike for Palestine," the RCP advances no call for young people to turn to the working class and fight to mobilize it in struggle against genocide and imperialist war. Nor does it indict the trade unions and NDP for their support for the pro-genocide, pro-war Trudeau government. This is the first major new strike in the US since this month's presidential election. Trump is seeking to convert the presidency into a fascist dictatorship, the most extreme form of government of, by and for the corporate oligarchy. Five faculty members at CSULB were cited for participating in protests against the genocide in Gaza. Police are engaged in a major cover-up after executing a mother suffering from post-partum depression and her baby earlier this month. The police's murderous tactics, dubbed "surrender or starve", have caused outrage in South Africa where unemployment has soared to 42 percent and economic desperation is widespread in the world's most unequal society. Dissanayake retains the main portfolios, such as finance and defence, in particular, to ensure the government's foremost task of ruthlessly implementing the IMF austerity measures is directly in his hands. Wall Street has been salivating over the prospect that Trump will bring further tax cuts and regulations governing the operations of finance capital will be further relaxed so as to become almost non-existent Labor is intent on outdoing the Liberal-National Coalition opposition in making overseas students, along with immigrants and refugees, scapegoats for the intensifying cost-of-living, housing and social crisis affecting millions of working-class households. The National Party-led coalition government is promoting the lie that indigenous Māori enjoy a privileged position, in order to divert social anger caused by austerity and the assault on workers' living standards. The artist seems obliquely to acknowledge the potentially fatal threats that humanity faces while choosing to indulge in escapism and hedonism. The Berlin state government, a coalition of the CDU and SPD, is already anticipating the budget cuts to be implemented at a federal level.
