Biden and Blinken Blink on Ukraine

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

by Ray McGovern Posted on April 15, 2021 President Joe Biden has now taken a waiver on the “unwavering”, full-throated support that he, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had been giving to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine: are we facing the next (big) war?

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

By Reiner Braun Nothing is harder and nothing requires more character, than to be in open opposition to its time and to say to say loudly: No. I put this quote from Kurt Tucholski at the beginning of my remarks because it is also about countering the narrative of mainstream politics and media reporting with clarification and facts.

Ukraine On Fire 2016 Oliver Stone

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

As much as any place around the world the current situation in Ukraine could be a trigger for nuclear war. With the recent construction of US Aegis-Ashore ‘missile defense’ (MD) bases in Romania and Poland (that could also fire nuclear-capable Tomahawk cruise missiles that could reach Moscow in 10 minutes) as well as current deployment in the Black Sea of Navy Aegis destroyers with MD systems on board, it seems crucial that world citizens should have a greater understanding of … Continue reading →

US is inflaming the situation in Ukraine – trigger for nuclear war

Pentagon establishes air bridge to Ukraine

More deadly equipment may be on its way to Donbass [likely drones, communications devices, ammunition]

Another U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster military transport aircraft has recently arrived in Kiev from the Ramstein airbase in Germany.

The nature of the cargo on board the American transporter is unknown. But there is no need to guess since the U.S. military authorities have more than once stated and proved support of the Ukrainian [Nazi] forces.

Manöver »Defender Europe 2021« probt die Mobilmachung gegen Russland in Südosteuropa und Schwarzmeerregion

Von Jörg Kronauer

Im März hat es begonnen, und in diesem Monat wird es auch öffentlich wohl wieder in stärkerem Umfang wahrzunehmen sein: das Großmanöver »Defender Europe«, das die US-Streitkräfte seit 2020 jährlich gemeinsam mit ihren europäischen Verbündeten abhalten. Wie im vergangenen Jahr geht es darum, das westliche Bündnis auf einen etwaigen militärischen Konflikt mit Russland vorzubereiten.

The Defender-Europe 21 not only resumes the 2020 program, resized due to Covid, but amplifies it. Why does the “Europe Defender” come from the other side of the Atlantic? The 30 … Continue reading →
