Please, take a quick moment now and tell your members of Congress that you expect them to stand up and fulfill their responsibilities by repealing the 2001 AUMF, and debating whether to authorize continued, endless war in Afghanistan. Here are six … Continue reading →

THE CAMPAIGN „STOP AIR BASE RAMSTEIN“ AND ITS ACTION WEEK 2017
The US Air Force Base at Ramstein, Germany, is a central pivot for preparing and executing wars of aggression violating international law. Most of the lethal missions of US combat drones, e.g. in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, and Africa, are conducted via Ramstein’s satellite relay station. US drone pilotes from a multitude of military bases use Ramstein for operating killer drones in illegal war missions around the world. In Ramstein itself, about 650 personnel continuously analyze, update and pass … Continue reading →

AN INTERVIEW WITH ALAIN ROUY ABOUT THE G20 IN HAMBURG
Considering the recent events such as Macron’s recent election and from a French perspective, what is your opinion of the G 20? In Hamburg, the newly-elected French president, so far presented as “young and modern”, only perpetuated the habitual, neoliberal politics of his predecessors, Sarkozy and Hollande. No new ideas or initiatives were mentioned by President Macron in reaction to the dramatic failures of past unfair commercial practices, notably in Africa or concerning his support for the Paris Accord on … Continue reading →

Atomkriegsgefahr verhindern – Atomwaffenverbot unterstützen
Die verstärkte nukleare Aufrüstung und die aggressiven verbalen Atomkriegsdrohungen durch die USA, das Schweigen ihrer Verbündeten in der Nato und das Streben nach nuklearer Bewaffnung durch das nordkoreanische Regime haben die Menschheit an den Rand eines atomaren Krieges geführt. Damit erleben wir angesichts der Zuspitzung des Konflikts zwischen den USA und Nordkorea eine atomare Bedrohung, wie sie seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges beispiellos ist. Gleichzeitig fördern die aktuellen wirtschaftlichen und politischen Verhältnisse eine militärische Konflikteskalation in Ostasien, die neben den USA und Nordkorea auch China, Japan, Südkorea und Russland in ein Wettrüsten mit Atomwaffen, Raketen und Raketenabwehrsystemen einzubeziehen droht.

Die U.S.-Air Base Ramstein ist noch gefährlicher als man gemeinhin denkt.
von Andrea Drescher (veröffentlicht am 21.7.2017)
Hört oder liest man von Ramstein stehen immer die Drohnen – genauer, die dort ansässige SATCOM-Relaisstation – im Mittelpunkt des Interesses, ohne die der Drohnenkrieg der USA im arabischen Raum nicht möglich wäre. So schwerwiegend dieser Aspekt, der von deutschen Politikern heruntergespielt und von der deutschen Bevölkerung weitestgehend ignoriert wird, für den Weltfrieden ist: Die US-Militäranlagen in der Region Ramstein (Kaiserslautern) haben sehr viel weitreichendere Bedeutung.
