The No to War – No to NATO Network denounces the North Atlantic Treaty Association’s (NATO) continuing efforts to obstruct the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) that comes into force on January 22, 2021.
On December 15, NATO issued a statement that once again voiced its groundless opposition to the TPNW. NATO reiterated its commitment to remain a nuclear alliance “as long as nuclear weapons exist”. Continue reading →

After a mobile blockade lasting almost two months, a small group of traditional herders and activists has successfully repelled NATO and the Montenegrin military’s efforts to occupy the territory of Sinjajevina in Montenegro – the largest mountain grassland in the Balkans and the second in Europe.
In an archetypal David and Goliath encounter, Sinjajenivan herders have braved and adapted to COVID-19 lockdowns, driving snow and sub-zero temperatures to keep numerous military incursions at bay.

With more than 100 events and several thousand participants, the day of action and protest organized by the Abrüsten statt Aufrüsten campaign (Disarm instead of Rearm) was a great success, despite the difficult conditions created by Covid-19.
Peace initiatives all over the country were joined by trade unions and – in a new showing of solidarity— environmental organizations who made this day theirs and, full of ideas and imagination, took to the streets for peace and disarmament while keeping with the nation-wide Corona-related restrictions. Human chains, rallies, vigils, public events, signature campaigns, and information stands characterised the more than 100 actions.

One of the pre-conditions for Soviet support for the reunification of East & West Germany was the promise from the US that NATO would not expand ‘one centimeter’ toward the Russian borders. The Soviet Union’s Warsaw Pact alliance folded after its collapse thus making no need for NATO. Instead since those days NATO has been on steroids and is now working to become a global alliance.

Eine Sammlung von Texten und Hinweisen zum Thema von Günter Küsters. Liebe Leute, Die Bundesregierung will “deutsches Wesen” nicht nur bis zum Hindukusch “verteidigen”, wenn es um einen breiten Aufmarsch des Westens gegen den wieder neuen Rivalen China geht; das zeigt die Folgeserie der german-foreign-policy siehe unten. Nicht nur das aktuell scheinbar gelingende chinesische Corona-Krisenmanagement https://www.isw-muenchen.de/2020/07/china-gelingt-neustart-der-wirtschaft-westen-weiter-im-corona-krisen-chaos/ wie das neue Handelsabkommen in Ostasien https://www.isw-muenchen.de/2020/12/rcep-multilateralismus-auf-erfolgskurs/ drängen den Westen zur Eile.

NATO report makes recommendations to reduce internal conflicts and strengthen the alliance against Russia and China.
BERLIN/BRUSSELS (Own report) – NATO must strengthen its cohesion and take new steps to position itself against Russia and China, according to the report “NATO 2030” officially presented by the military alliance at its meeting of foreign ministers that ended yesterday. Vetoing inconvenient decisions by the Alliance will be made more difficult. Cooperation with countries at Russia’s borders and in China’s vicinity should be intensified. The report was commissioned last December to settle openly escalating dissension within the Alliance, which French President Emmanuel Macron previously denounced in blunt terms (“brain death of NATO”). The report was drawn up under the aegis of former German Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière and US diplomat Wess Mitchell. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has highly praised the report, intended to provide the basis for a “Strategic Concept,” whereas experts dismissed it as a “security policy hawker’s assortment.”
NATO-Bericht macht Vorschläge zur Dämpfung bündnisinterner Konflikte und zur Stärkung der Allianz gegen Russland und China. https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/news/detail/8459/ BERLIN/BRÜSSEL (Eigener Bericht) – Die NATO soll ihre innere Geschlossenheit stärken und sich mit neuen Schritten gegen Russland und China in Stellung bringen. Dies fordert ein Bericht (“NATO 2030”), den das Militärbündnis anlässlich seines gestern zu Ende gegangenen Außenministertreffens offiziell vorgelegt hat. Demnach soll zukünftig ein Veto gegen unliebsame Bündnisbeschlüsse erschwert werden; zugleich müsse die Allianz die Kooperation mit Staaten an … Continue reading →
