SIGAR: American Report Reveals “US Blunders” in [Failed] Two-Decade-Long Afghanistan Invasion! (2.2.2026)

It may be that the US invasion of Afghanistan will be historically viewed (when analysed objectively) as a far more comprehensive “defeat” for American neo-imperialistic intentions than either the US invasion of Korea (partly in 1945 in the South at the end of WWII – and then in the North between 1950-1953) and Vietnam (either covertly or overtly) between 1955-1975. The US mentality involves throwing bullets and money at problems – but considering the fact the US possessed weaponry of a far more advanced and destructive capability than the malnourished enemy (which carried rusty AK-47s – and were motivated by Islamic and Islamo-fascist ideology) – it is astonishing that after “20-years” – no military victory was won and no political socio-economic vision was accomplished. The US reduces countries to rubble (just look at Libya and Syria) – and refers to this wanton destruction as “freedom” (since 1945 to present – the US has killed around 30-million people around the world in the name of this “freedom”). When the Russians betrayed their Revolution in 1991 – the US was permitted to steal billions from the Soviet economy the workers had spent decades earning and establishing. Between 1991-2001 – around 10 million Russians died of starvation, homelessness, and medical neglect as a caring and uplifting Socialism was replaced by an uncaring (predatory) capitalism. This disaster was ignored in the West and viewed as “normal”. Only the rise of Putin saved the Russian people and put a post-Soviet Russia on an even keel.

The Felix Project finds more than half of working families using food banks

UK: The Felix Project – More Than Half of Working Families Using Food Banks! (12.12.2025)

It has resulted in The Felix Project seeing even more demand from food banks for help, Rachel Ledwith is Head of Community at The Felix Project, she said: “These results clearly show that things are not getting better for families across London. It is appalling that more and more parents can only put food on their table because of a food bank and so many are being forced to skip meals, send their children to school hungry and cut back on other things to cover their essential food bills. The Felix Project rescues as much food as it can, this year we are on course to give out the equivalent of 35 million meals, but this is not enough to satisfy demand. That is why we are launching our The Empty Plate Emergency Appeal and asking people to show their support.”

Uganda’s Wakaliwood: Talented Local Man Films Low-Budget Shaolin-Inspired Martial Arts Films! 

In addition, the power supply in the slums is unstable. There is only about 3 days of electricity a week. Whether it is shooting or editing, it needs to be carefully planned. The power of the dream, however, helps the actors to persevere. After finishing each film – it is engraved onto DVD discs, each priced at 45 cents (about 3 yuan), and then people go door-to-door in costumes used in the film. Usually, a movie will earn about 300 yuan. Even though the road seems difficult and endless, the actors never gave up and maintain a high degree of enthusiasm for filming. Over the past few years, through the efforts of Isaac and his companions, more than 40 films have been completed such as ‘Who Killed Captain Alex’ and ‘The Return of Uncle Benon’! These films, which combine Ugandan culture with Chinese culture, (as well as elements such as gunfights and gongfu), have received a lot of likes and attention on YouTube, and are referred to as ‘people who really love movies’. ‘Who Killed Captain Alex’ even attracted an American fan – Alan Hoffmanis! He gathered his things together and travelled to Uganda to offer his expertise in the filming and editing process!
