Biden and Blinken Blink on Ukraine
by Ray McGovern Posted on April 15, 2021 President Joe Biden has now taken a waiver on the “unwavering”, full-throated support that he, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had been giving to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The recurring “unwavering” meme was played right up until late Tuesday after Biden’s telephone talk with Putin Tuesday. https://original.antiwar.com/mcgovern/2021/04/14/biden-and-blinken-blink-on-ukraine/

Ukraine: are we facing the next (big) war?
By Reiner Braun Nothing is harder and nothing requires more character, than to be in open opposition to its time and to say to say loudly: No. I put this quote from Kurt Tucholski at the beginning of my remarks because it is also about countering the narrative of mainstream politics and media reporting with clarification and facts.

Ukraine, US bomb in Europe
by Manlio Dinucci The Aviano base US F-16 fighters are engaged in “air operations” in Greece, where the Iniochos 21 exercise began yesterday. They belong to the 510th Fighter Squadron stationed in Aviano, whose role is indicated in its emblem: the atom symbol with three lightning strikes the earth, flanked by the imperial eagle. Nuclear attack aircraft are therefore those engaged by the US Air Force in Greece. Greece granted the United States the use of all its military bases … Continue reading →

As much as any place around the world the current situation in Ukraine could be a trigger for nuclear war. With the recent construction of US Aegis-Ashore ‘missile defense’ (MD) bases in Romania and Poland (that could also fire nuclear-capable Tomahawk cruise missiles that could reach Moscow in 10 minutes) as well as current deployment in the Black Sea of Navy Aegis destroyers with MD systems on board, it seems crucial that world citizens should have a greater understanding of … Continue reading →

US is inflaming the situation in Ukraine – trigger for nuclear war
Pentagon establishes air bridge to Ukraine
More deadly equipment may be on its way to Donbass [likely drones, communications devices, ammunition]
Another U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster military transport aircraft has recently arrived in Kiev from the Ramstein airbase in Germany.
The nature of the cargo on board the American transporter is unknown. But there is no need to guess since the U.S. military authorities have more than once stated and proved support of the Ukrainian [Nazi] forces.

»Defender Europe 21« und alternative Methoden zur militärischen Machtausübung

Defender Europe 2021: Großmanöver: Neuer Fokus, selbes Ziel
Manöver »Defender Europe 2021« probt die Mobilmachung gegen Russland in Südosteuropa und Schwarzmeerregion
Von Jörg Kronauer
Im März hat es begonnen, und in diesem Monat wird es auch öffentlich wohl wieder in stärkerem Umfang wahrzunehmen sein: das Großmanöver »Defender Europe«, das die US-Streitkräfte seit 2020 jährlich gemeinsam mit ihren europäischen Verbündeten abhalten. Wie im vergangenen Jahr geht es darum, das westliche Bündnis auf einen etwaigen militärischen Konflikt mit Russland vorzubereiten.

‘Some stay, some die’: The horror of Ukraine’s war camps
I certainly realize that there are more than a few neo-Nazis and fascists in the powerful and influential right-wing of Ukraine. As Faulkner wrote, the past isn’t dead, it isn’t even past. That said, as we prepare a webinar about Ukraine, we do need to take accounts like the one that follows here into consideration. Reality is rarely either/or or black and white.

The “Defender-Europe” US Army Arrives
by Manlio Dinucci Not everything in Europe is paralyzed by the anti-Covid lockdown: in fact, the mammoth annual exercise of the US Army, Defender-Europe, which until June mobilized on European territory, and beyond this, dozens of thousands of soldiers with thousands of tanks and other means, has been set in motion. The Defender-Europe 21 not only resumes the 2020 program, resized due to Covid, but amplifies it. Why does the “Europe Defender” come from the other side of the Atlantic? The 30 … Continue reading →
