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.

The Reason Why NATO Demolished Libya Ten Years Ago

by Manlio Dinucci  Ten years ago, on March 19, 2011, US / NATO forces began the air-naval bombing of Libya.
