Neuer Beitrag auf NachDenkSeiten – Die kritische Website

by Albrecht Müller

Die Ankündigung des Verteidigungsministeriums, die US-NATO-Streitkräfte an den russischen Grenzen zu vervierfachen, macht es wahrscheinlicher, dass aus dem neuen Kalten Krieg ein tatsächlicher Krieg wird, womöglich ein nuklearer.
Unter dieser Überschrift fasst Stephen F. Cohen in The Nation seine wöchentliche Diskussion mit John Batchelor über den neuen Kalten Krieg zwischen den USA und Russland zusammen. Das Gespräch der beiden Journalisten finden Sie im Original hier.

New York Times on NATO as it Approaches Warsaw Summit/Some Developments in the U.S.

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Hello Friends, On this side of the Atlantic there’s very little mainstream reporting about NATO, certainly almost nothing about NATO member Turkey serving as a corridor for fighters and arms to reach ISIS in Syria or criticism of U.S. and NATO support for Turkey after the downing of the Russian warplane after being over Turkey at most for 17 seconds, if at all. So, it’s significant that today’s New York Times ran a ¾ page article titled “NATO Nations No … Continue reading →

NATO’s Nuclear Debate

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

BERLIN (Own report) – In view of the NATO Summit scheduled this year in Warsaw, the deployment of nuclear arms against Russia is being discussed within the German military and think-tanks. The Federal College for Security Studies (BAKS), for example, accuses Moscow of “neo-imperial aggression” against Eastern Europe and calls for a revival of the “nuclear deterrence” strategy. According to BAKS, the idea of a nuclear weapons-free world should be considered as “unrealistic” – after all, “disarmament is not the … Continue reading →
