CC Newsletter 21/03- Day 22: Escalation, Uncertainty, and Expanding War Theatre

COUNTERCURRENTS is shared in its entirety due to its GLOBAL significance. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NATANZ NUCLEAR FACILITY WAS BOMBED!  Dear Friend, On day 22 of the US–Israel war on Iran, air raids struck the Natanz nuclear facility, with officials claiming no radioactive leakage. Drone attacks triggered fires near a US base in Baghdad, signaling a widening conflict zone. Even as President Donald Trump speaks of “winding down” operations, troop deployments and war funding requests intensify. With over 1,400 reported dead in Iran, retaliatory strikes on US and Israeli targets continue. Iran warns of threats to global energy routes, while the UK enables further attacks.

U.S. National Debt Crosses USD39 Trillion

  U.S. National Debt Crosses USD39 Trillion in  World by  A Correspondent 21/03/2026 The U.S. national debt has crossed USD39 trillion days ago. This is for the first time that the debt has touched this grey kilometer post. In late October, only five months back, it was USD38 trillion. It is “unsustainable”, according to economists. If this borrowing pattern continues, increasing the national debt another trillion – USD40 trillion — will not be a distant mark. Citing Daily Treasury Statement,  Fortune , a media outlet in the U.S., said: The grim point comes “roughly two weeks before the ten-year anniversary of President Trump’s 2016 campaign promise to eliminate the national debt within eight years. Instead, the gross national debt has roughly doubled since trump first took office – it was USD19.9 trillion in January 2017.” ( https://fortune.com/2026/03/18/how-big-national-debt-39-trillion-trump-promises/ ) Peter G.

Pete Hegseth made a massive mistake

Image
  It’s James Carville, and my blood is boiling: Last year, Pete Hegseth  shamelessly  removed Nancy Lacore from her position as Chief of the Navy Reserve. She was a three-star vice admiral with thirty-five years of service and thousands of sailors under her command, but they just showed her to the door for NO REASON. That tells you everything you need to know about Republicans’ hare-brained leadership. Experience and integrity don’t matter if you don’t fall in line. But everyday folks are tired of this chaos. They’re exhausted by the noise. And they’re FED UP with Republican leaders who prioritize pageantry over delivering real results. Luckily, Nancy’s running for Congress to restore honor, integrity, and commitment. She’s the leader we deserve – we NEED – in South Carolina’s First District.   And if you’re serious about flipping the House and restoring integrity in Congress, will you split $10 to support Nancy’s campaign and Democratic Values? Pete Hegseth made a m...
