From the EU Covid Recovery Fund 30 billion goes to the military

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

by Manlio Dinucci While the “Coronavirus crisis” continues to cause devastating socio-economic consequences also in Italy, a large part of the “Recovery Fund” is destined not to the most affected economic and social sectors, but to the most advanced sectors of the war industry. According to the EU Recovery Fund, Italy should receive € 209 billion over the next six years, of which about 81 is for grants and 128 for loans to be repaid with interest. In the meantime, … Continue reading →

Inextricably linked existential threats to humanity. by Pat Elder In Greek mythology, the tale of Daedalus and his son, Icarus provides a lesson that humanity has never learned. Daedalus created wings from feathers and wax. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun for fear that the wax would melt. Icarus took off, exhilarated with the invention, and soared exuberantly toward the sun. His wings fell apart, and Icarus fell to his death. Remarkable technologies may escape … Continue reading →

WHAT’S NATO UP TO?

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

by Rae Street August 2020 NATO was once described as the ‘military arm of the US empire’.  And one might add ‘nuclear empire’.  As we remember Hiroshima on 6th August 1945, the horrendous suffering which was brought about on that day to the people of Japan and, later, on the 9th August, Nagasaki day, it is worth thinking about NATO’s policies and, in particular. Its nuclear policies.   Since the end of totalitarian communism, unlike the Warsaw Pact which was disbanded, … Continue reading →

France will test missiles for its nuclear submarines in June 2020

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

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 →

The US’s nuclear war games

Covid-19 has forced the Pentagon to cut the exercises right back. As of March 13, they announced, all movement of personnel and equipment from the United States to Europe has ceased, in the interests of the health and … Continue reading →

The conference attendees* decided on some next steps. A national day of action against foreign military bases is being planned for February 23, the anniversary of the US seizing Guantanamo Bay, Cuba through a “perpetual lease” that began in 1903. Activists are encouraged to plan local actions. If you plan an event, contact and we’ll post it on the events page. The demands will include closing the base and prison in Guantanamo, returning the land to Cuba and ending the US blockade.

60 Jahre nach den Göttinger 18: Deutschland atomwaffenfrei oder Nuklearmacht“

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, aus Verantwortung „Nein“ gesagt zu haben zum deutschen Griff zur Atombombe, das ist die historische Leistung der  Wissenschaftler, die 1957 den Aufruf der Göttinger 18 unterzeichneten und eine Mitarbeit an der Bombe verweigerten. Weiterhin „Nein“ zur Atombombe zu sagen ist 60 Jahre danach von bleibender, dramatischer Aktualität – nicht nur wegen der milliardenschweren “Modernisierungsprogrammen” in allen Atomwaffenstaaten. Die Weigerung der Bundesregierung, sich an den UN-Verhandlungen zu einem Verbot von Atomwaffen zu beteiligen, ist ein politscher … Continue reading →

Eskalation mit Nuklearpotenzial

05.10.2016 BERLIN

(Eigener Bericht) – Berliner Regierungsberater und Außenpolitik-Experten warnen vor einer weiteren Zuspitzung der NATO-Eskalationspolitik gegenüber Russland. Im Hinblick auf die gefährlichen Zwischenfälle bei militärischen Flugmanövern beispielsweise über der Ostsee führe “früher oder später” an “einem Umgang miteinander kein Weg vorbei”, erklärt ein hochrangiger NATO-Funktionär in der führenden Zeitschrift des deutschen Außenpolitik-Establishments. Man müsse Sorge dafür tragen, dass der Machtkampf zwischen der NATO und Russland “sich nicht zu einem Großkonflikt auswächst”, warnt ein renommierter russischer Experte eines US-Think-Tanks: Der Machtkampf sei zwar “keineswegs trivial”, doch sei er “einen europäischen Krieg … zweifellos nicht wert”. Auch die vom Kanzleramt finanzierte Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) dringt darauf, in Abkehr vom bisherigen langfristigen Kurs insbesondere der USA nicht nur Russland, sondern auch China “Einflusssphären” in ihrem jeweiligen regionalen Umfeld einzuräumen – “zur Vermeidung von Kriegsrisiken”. Die SWP weist auf die nukleare Komponente des Konflikts hin – und warnt, auf lange Sicht sei die Stationierung landgestützter nuklearer Mittelstreckenraketen in Europa nicht mehr auszuschließen.

Bereits vor dem vergangenen NATO-Gipfel in der polnischen Hauptstadt Warschau forderten deutsche Think-Tanks neben der Stationierung von Kampftruppen an der Grenze zu Russland auch den Ausbau des westlichen Atomwaffenarsenals. Eine „Überarbeitung“ der „Nuklearstrategie“ der NATO sei „dringend geboten“, da eine gegen Moskau gerichtete „glaubwürdige Abschreckung“ zwingend einer „nuklearen Komponente“ bedürfe, erklärt etwa die CDU-nahe Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. Und auch die zentrale militärpolitische Denkfabrik der Bundesregierung, die Bundesakademie für Sicherheitspolitik, verlangt nach einem „neuen nuklearstrategischen Konsens“ des transatlantischen Bündnisses, um die „anti-westliche Macht“ Russland in Schach zu halten. Die Implementierung eines Raketenabwehrsystems in den osteuropäischen NATO-Staaten wird ebenfalls mit der vermeintlichen „Aggressivität“ Moskaus und der davon abgeleiteten Notwendigkeit der „Abschreckung“ begründet. Doch was geschieht hinter den Kulissen? Um was geht es bei diesem Konflikt, der längst in eine Gewaltspirale gemündet ist, die durchaus einen neuen großen Krieg auszulösen vermag? Zu diesen Fragen sprach Jens Wernicke mit dem Politiker Michael Müller, Bundesvorsitzender des aus der Arbeiterbewegung hervorgegangenen Umweltverbandes Naturfreunde Deutschlands, der sich als Teil der Friedensbewegung versteht.
