March bridge to the Defense Command “Yes to peace and welfare – No to NATO rearmament!”
Yes to peace and welfare – No to NATO rearmament!
NATO holds the 2017 summit inaugurating the new 5 billion dkr headquarter. The summit will consolidate the agreements on cooperation and integration between NATO and the EU military efforts.
The agenda is expanding armor and war threats from NATO, the world’s strongest military alliance: Troops, tanks and missile shields at the Russian borders, renewed nuclear weapons in Europe, cyberwar and expanded surveillance.
At the top of the agenda, is NATO’s pressure for member states to increase military budgets till they represent two percent of gross domestic product. In Denmark this means a doubling, from the current 22 billion dkr annually to 40. Hereof at least 20 percent to be spent on new military hardware, is the decision. Arms manufacturers hauls.
NATO will confront Russia as a one-sided threat and with ongoing and planned extensions to the East and closer cooperation with Sweden and Finland, the aggressive military alliance moves towards Russia’s borders – towards a Russia with a military budget less than ten percent of NATO’s.
We say No to NATO’s rearmament and war threats!
* Every dollar spent on war and military creates chaos and despair and new victims.
* We say no to war propaganda and refuse being used for death and destruction – at home and abroad
* Every dollar spent on peace and well-being creates social development for the benefit of people and the environment.
Reamament costs welfare
