BERLIN/WASHINGTON (Own report) – NATO should systematically expand its military exercises and operations into the Asia-Pacific region, an expert of Washington’s Atlantic Council think tank proposes in the intensifying debate on the posture the western war alliance should assume in relationship to the People’s Republic of China. China’s “presence in the Arctic, in Africa and in the Mediterranean” calls for a response, according to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Think tanks suggest that NATO should more closely monitor Chinese investments in the European infrastructure, because “civilian roads, ports and rails” under construction with Chinese participation “are an integral part of NATO’s plans for military mobilization.” NATO is also strengthening its relations with “global partners” such as Japan, South Korea and Australia. For the first time, Australia’s defense minister participated at the meeting of the NATO Ministers of Defense that ended yesterday. The Atlantic Council is also suggesting the establishment of a NATO military headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region.
BERLIN/WASHINGTON (Eigener Bericht) – Die NATO soll ihre Militärübungen und Operationen systematisch in die Asien-Pazifik-Region ausweiten: Dies fordert ein Experte des Washingtoner Think-Tanks Atlantic Council. Hintergrund ist die zunehmende Debatte darum, wie sich das westliche Kriegsbündnis gegen China in Position bringen soll. Die Volksrepublik sei “präsent in der Arktis, in Afrika und im Mittelmeer”, urteilt NATO-Generalsekretär Jens Stoltenberg; darauf müsse man reagieren. In Think-Tanks heißt es, man solle chinesische Investitionen in die europäische Infrastruktur schärfer kontrollieren; “zivile Straßen, Häfen und Bahnstrecken”, an deren Ausbau die Volksrepublik sich beteilige, seien schließlich “ein wesentlicher Teil der NATO-Pläne für die militärische Mobilisierung”. Zudem stärkt die NATO ihre Beziehungen zu “Globalen Partnern” wie Japan, Südkorea und Australien. Am gestern beendeten Treffen der NATO-Verteidigungsminister nahm erstmals deren Amtskollege aus Australien vollumfänglich teil. Der Atlantic Council verlangt auch den Aufbau eines militärischen NATO-Hauptquartiers in der Asien-Pazifik-Region.

Déclaration des animateurs de la campagne STOP RAMSTEIN en Allemagne, 6 juin 2020 GOOD BYE LES TROUPES US ! MOINS DE MILITAIRES, C’EST PLUS DE PAIX ! Nous savons ce qu’il en est des déclarations de Donald Trump, au moins depuis qu’il a annoncé vouloir retirer des troupes d’Afghanistan et de Syrie. Il ment à chaque fois qu’il ouvre la bouche. Mais si, en raison de son irritation personnelle concernant les dépenses militaires de l’Allemagne, pour des raisons de vengeance ou pour … Continue reading →

DECLARATION Together we reject the new tests of M 51 nuclear missile in Brittany (machine translation) In the midst of a health crisis, the government insists on developing its new nuclear weapons programs to the detriment of health, social and environmental priorities.

The Ministry of the Armed Forces announced on 9 June the M51 missile launches: «The window of fire for these tests is scheduled between early June and mid-July», the ministry said. “There will be no detailed communication on these activities as operational activities and weapons systems testing related to nuclear deterrence are covered by defence secrecy,” the Ministry of the Armed Forces added. The Maritime Prefecture of the Atlantic has issued an order, “on the occasion of a test launch organized … Continue reading →

Newsletter of the campaigne “Stopp Air Base Ramstein”, Germany What we must think of Donald Trump’s announcements, we have known at least since his statements about withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Syria. He’s lying through his teeth. But if he should ever take a right political step out of personal disgruntlement about Germany’s military spending, for reasons of revenge or for strategic orientation towards China, we welcome the withdrawal and celebrate it with a big party at Ramstein Air Base … Continue reading →
https://www.ramstein-kampagne.eu/goodbye-us-truppen-weniger-militaer-bedeutet-mehr-frieden/ Was wir von Donald Trumps Ankündigungen halten müssen, wissen wir spätestens seit seinen Aussagen, Truppen aus Afghanistan und Syrien abzuziehen. Er lügt, wenn er den Mund aufmacht. Sollte er aber aus persönlicher Verstimmung über Deutschlands Militärausgaben, aus Rachegründen oder aber auch aus strategischer Orientierung Richtung China einmal einen richtigen politischen Schritt machen, dann begrüßen wir den Abzug und feiern ihn mit einer großen Party an der Air Base Ramstein (https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/us-truppenabzug-101.html).

IALANA Presseerklärung Die USA kündigen derzeit wichtige völkerrechtliche Verträge in Serie. Erst das Atomabkommen mit dem Iran, dann den INF-Vertrag. Jetzt – wieder ohne jede Absprache mit den europäischen NATO-Partnern – den Vertrag über den offenen Himmel von 1992. Schließlich müsste der bilaterale New START-Vertrag zwischen Russland und den USA, der im Februar nächsten Jahres ausläuft, dringend für weitere 5 Jahre verlängert werden. Russland ist dazu bereit; aber die USA wollen offenbar auch diese letzte noch bestehende Begrenzung für die … Continue reading →

According to the regional newspaper Ouest-France, the French army has planned missile testing between 9 and 11 June off the coast of Penmarc’h (Finistère/Brittany), like in 2016 or 2018. In spite of the global pandemic, France continues imperturbably to test weapons and swallow huge sums of money that will fail to meet the necessary budgets for health, education and the satisfaction of social needs. 1 missile “M 51” = 120 million euros, the gross salary of 7500 nurses. A French … Continue reading →

During the COVID-19 pandemic, not only will the U.S. military have the largest maritime military maneuvers in the world, with Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) coming to the waters off Hawaii August 17-31, 2020 bringing 26 nations, 25,000 military personnel, up to 50 ships and submarines and hundreds of aircraft in midst of a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, but the U.S. Army is having a 6,000 person war game in June 2020 in Poland. The State of Hawaii has the most stringent measures to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus, with a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all persons arriving in Hawaii — returning residents as well as visitors. This quarantine is required until at least June 30, 2020. Continue reading →

To counter NATO’s 70th anniversary celebration, I launched a monthly protest outside the NATO Asso-ciation of Canada (NAOC) in Toronto in January 2019. I made a commitment to stand with my signs “No to NATO” and “Canada Out of NATO” for one hour once a month for twelve months to oppose this aggressive, nuclear-armed alliance.
