“Disarmament Instead of Rearmament”:
The Germany-Wide Day of Action on 5 December 2020 – a Prelude to Further Joint Engagement
With more than 100 events and several thousand participants, the day of action and protest organized by the Abrüsten statt Aufrüsten campaign (Disarm instead of Rearm) was a great success, despite the difficult conditions created by Covid-19.
Peace initiatives all over the country were joined by trade unions and – in a new showing of solidarity— environmental organizations who made this day theirs and, full of ideas and imagination, took to the streets for peace and disarmament while keeping with the nation-wide Corona-related restrictions. Human chains, rallies, vigils, public events, signature campaigns, and information stands characterised the more than 100 actions.
Why is NATO going global?
by Bruce Gagnon is coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space.
29 December 2020
One of the pre-conditions for Soviet support for the reunification of East & West Germany was the promise from the US that NATO would not expand ‘one centimeter’ toward the Russian borders. The Soviet Union’s Warsaw Pact alliance folded after its collapse thus making no need for NATO. Instead since those days NATO has been on steroids and is now working to become a global alliance.

Ehemalige chinesische Kolonialmächte formieren sich neu gegen China
Eine Sammlung von Texten und Hinweisen zum Thema von Günter Küsters. Liebe Leute, Die Bundesregierung will “deutsches Wesen” nicht nur bis zum Hindukusch “verteidigen”, wenn es um einen breiten Aufmarsch des Westens gegen den wieder neuen Rivalen China geht; das zeigt die Folgeserie der german-foreign-policy siehe unten. Nicht nur das aktuell scheinbar gelingende chinesische Corona-Krisenmanagement https://www.isw-muenchen.de/2020/07/china-gelingt-neustart-der-wirtschaft-westen-weiter-im-corona-krisen-chaos/ wie das neue Handelsabkommen in Ostasien https://www.isw-muenchen.de/2020/12/rcep-multilateralismus-auf-erfolgskurs/ drängen den Westen zur Eile. China vor dem 19.Jahrhundert bereits jahrehundertelang … Continue reading →
NATO’s Next Decade
NATO report makes recommendations to reduce internal conflicts and strengthen the alliance against Russia and China.
BERLIN/BRUSSELS (Own report) – NATO must strengthen its cohesion and take new steps to position itself against Russia and China, according to the report “NATO 2030” officially presented by the military alliance at its meeting of foreign ministers that ended yesterday. Vetoing inconvenient decisions by the Alliance will be made more difficult. Cooperation with countries at Russia’s borders and in China’s vicinity should be intensified. The report was commissioned last December to settle openly escalating dissension within the Alliance, which French President Emmanuel Macron previously denounced in blunt terms (“brain death of NATO”). The report was drawn up under the aegis of former German Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière and US diplomat Wess Mitchell. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has highly praised the report, intended to provide the basis for a “Strategic Concept,” whereas experts dismissed it as a “security policy hawker’s assortment.”
Das nächste Jahrzehnt der NATO
NATO-Bericht macht Vorschläge zur Dämpfung bündnisinterner Konflikte und zur Stärkung der Allianz gegen Russland und China. https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/news/detail/8459/ BERLIN/BRÜSSEL (Eigener Bericht) – Die NATO soll ihre innere Geschlossenheit stärken und sich mit neuen Schritten gegen Russland und China in Stellung bringen. Dies fordert ein Bericht (“NATO 2030”), den das Militärbündnis anlässlich seines gestern zu Ende gegangenen Außenministertreffens offiziell vorgelegt hat. Demnach soll zukünftig ein Veto gegen unliebsame Bündnisbeschlüsse erschwert werden; zugleich müsse die Allianz die Kooperation mit Staaten an … Continue reading →
Peace is not everything, but nothing is without peace No to war, militarism, and violence.
The Doomsday Clock is historically for the first time 100 seconds to midnight. The Nobel prize winners “The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists” justify this aggravation with the dangers of the atomic war and the consequences of the climatic changes. The dangers of a great – all-destroying – war have increased in view of the rivalries of the great powers, as have the quantity and quality of regional conflicts and wars over resources and as consequences of climate change. Wars are inseparable components of the “new normal.” Continue reading →

Dear friends and comrades,
