Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: As one who was colonial-born of parents serving the British Empire, I have no personal bias against imperialism as a political system. Under enlightened, fair and tolerant rulers it can be a better form of government than pseudo-democracy.

Yet one must challenge the American-led Nato form of imperialism in the Balkans. It constantly threatens and drives back the Serbs, who have already been "cleansed" from many of their ancient settlements in the former multi- racial Yugoslavia, while supporting their Croat and Muslim attackers.

This arrogant policy will simply widen and harden the East-West split across Europe, which we should be trying to heal in view of other threats and global economic instability.
