Philippine Initiative on Critical & Global Issues (Phil-Initiative) -  a new network made up of democratic organizations and individuals who are keen on studying and discussing not just the historical roots but also the present state of imperialism in the face of changing world and ever-increasing tension between and among global powers.

As Phil-Initiatives continue organizing a series of Learning Sessions on BIG POWER DYNAMICS taking up the different dimensions of imperialist wars of aggression - its origins, its impact on nations and lives of people including the implications to peace and security in our region - we would like to focus on the U.S. FOREVER WARS particularly for February & March this year.  

With the war in Ukraine already 1 year since it started and the recent agreement of the Philippines and the United States for an expanded EDCA (Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement)  - we would like to provide a platform for Philippine social movements to learn about the implication of these new trends.

• What were US motives/interest in its support for Ukraine in the ongoing war?
• What would be the outcome of the war on Ukraine?  Is its end near?  What could be the factors that this war would end?
• What were US’s motives in going to war against Iraq?
• Did the US get its politico-military and economic objectives? Did the US win in the broad sense?
• Why do some people say that the war in Iraq did not really end?
• What should we learn from the Iraq experience?
