No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Seit fast vier Jahren weigert sich die Bundesregierung, dem 2017 verabschiedeten UN-Vertrag über das Verbot von Atomwaffen beizutreten. Sie handelt damit permanent gegen den mehrheitlichen Willen der Menschen in Deutschland. Obwohl inzwischen mehr als 115 Städte, vier Bundesländer und mehr als 600 Landtags-, Bundestags- und Europa-Abgeordnete appellieren, das Atomwaffenverbot zu unterstützen, beharrt die Bundesregierung nach wie vor auf ihrer Blockadehaltung gegenüber diesem wegweisenden Vertrag. Wir haben eine Bundesregierung verdient, die den Einsatz der Zivilgesellschaft für eine atomwaffenfreie Welt unterstützt, nicht … Continue reading →

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.

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.

The US’s nuclear war games
