No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

The war in Ukraine is entering its fifth year. Since Russia invaded the country in violation of international law, death and destruction have reigned. NATO’s confrontational policies and its long-standing refusal to seek a lasting and peaceful solution through diplomatic channels have contributed to the loss of so many lives.

Manifesto: No to Global NATO – Yes to Common Security

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

NATO is an increasing obstacle to achieving world peace. It is no longer an organization confined to the North Atlantic: it is the world’s largest military alliance, with allies and partners in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has reinvented itself as a tool for military action, psychological warfare, worldwide military and political interventions, and accessing resources and markets; it often claims to undertake these actions on behalf of the “international community”.

No war on Iran! Statement from ICC – No to War No to NATO

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

The US military attack on three nuclear sites in Iran constitutes an irresponsible violation of international law with potentially dangerous escalating consequences. US President Trump is also breaking his election promise to stop ‘endless wars’. The White House has chosen military force over negotiations to resolve the ostensible reason for the attacks – namely concerns over Iran’s nuclear power programme. These were broken off on 13 June by an Israeli surprise attack on Iranian military and nuclear installations and top … Continue reading →

Shannon Airport & 21st Century War 2016

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

shannon-airport-21st-century-war-2016As you know my country was partitioned by British Imperialism in the early 20th Century and the six counties of Northern Ireland has been part of NATO since its foundation which is one of the reasons why we strongly congratulate the N0-to NATO grouping in all its campaign activity.

However as you know since 2002 the Republic of Ireland ( the other 26 counties) has been a de facto US Airforce Base and has allowed well over 2.5 million US troops land in Shannon Airport as they take part in its Doctrine of Perpetual War.

PANA/IAWM/Shannonwatch has published a new pamphlet, ‘Shannon Airport and 21st Century War’.

Russia’s got a point: The U.S. broke a NATO promise

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson Moscow solidified its hold on Crimea in April, outlawing the Tatar legislature that had opposed Russia’s annexation of the region since 2014. Together with Russian military provocations against NATO forces in and around the Baltic, this move seems to validate the observations of Western analysts who argue that under Vladimir Putin, an increasingly aggressive Russia is determined to dominate its neighbors and menace Europe. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-shifrinson-russia-us-nato-deal–20160530-snap-story.html
