Declaración de la red internacional
NO a la GUERRA – NO a la OTAN
En una cumbre europea celebrada en París el mes pasado, el presidente francés Macron declaró que se podrían desplegar tropas terrestres de los estados de la OTAN en Ucrania. Su declaración es sintomática de la peligrosa lógica de la guerra en la que hemos caído. Está contribuyendo a la profecía autocumplida del militarismo que amenaza la seguridad y la estabilidad en todo el continente europeo. Si bien no se ha recibido ningún apoyo serio para esta declaración irresponsable, tales propuestas corren el riesgo de alimentar la escalada de violencia. Se ha observado con razón que enviar tropas de la OTAN a Ucrania sería una vía rápida hacia la tercera guerra mundial, probablemente una guerra nuclear.

Statement of the network
Stop the declarations of war! It is time for diplomacy!
At a European summit in Paris last month, French President Macron declared that ground troops from NATO states could be deployed in Ukraine. His statement is symptomatic of the dangerous logic of war into which we have fallen. He is contributing to the self-fulfilling prophecy of militarism that threatens security and stability across the European continent. While no serious support for this irresponsible statement has been forthcoming, such proposals risk fuelling the escalation of violence. It has rightly been observed that sending NATO troops to Ukraine would be a fast track to world war three – likely a nuclear war. Continue reading →
Halte aux déclarations de guerre! L’heure est à la diplomatie!
Déclaration du réseau international
NON à la GUERRE – NON à l’OTAN
Lors d’un sommet européen à Paris le mois dernier, le président français Macron a déclaré que des troupes terrestres des États de l’OTAN pourraient être déployées en Ukraine. Sa déclaration est symptomatique de la dangereuse logique de guerre dans laquelle nous sommes tombés. Il contribue à ce que se réalise la prophétie du militarisme qui menace la sécurité et la stabilité sur l’ensemble du continent européen. Bien qu’aucun soutien sérieux n’ait été apporté à cette déclaration irresponsable, de telles propositions risquent d’alimenter l’escalade de la violence. Il a été observé à juste titre que l’envoi de troupes de l’OTAN en Ukraine constituerait une étape sur la voie de la troisième guerre mondiale – potentiellement une guerre nucléaire.

Nein zu NATO-Bodentruppen in der Ukraine Brandstifter Macron stoppen
Nein zu NATO-Bodentruppen in der Ukraine Brandstifter Macron stoppen 27.2.2024 www.nie-wieder-krieg.org Die Initiative Nie wieder Krieg-Die Waffen nieder verurteilt aufs Schärfste den Vorstoß des französischen Präsidenten Macron, Bodentruppen aus NATO-Ländern im Ukrainekrieg einzusetzen. Bei einer Konferenz zur Unterstützung der Ukraine in Paris, hatte Macron am 26. Februar gesagt: „Es gibt heute keinen Konsens – offiziell beschlossen – für den Einsatz von Bodentruppen. Aber nichts darf ausgeschlossen werden. Wir werden alles tun, was nötig ist, damit Russland diesen Krieg nicht gewinnt.“ … Continue reading →

RAF Lakenheath: US nuclear weapons are returning to Britain
CND opposes any return of United States nuclear weapons to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. 110 nuclear bombs were stored at the airbase until they were removed in 2008 following persistent popular protest, and they must not be allowed back.

Latin America: the implications of U.S. militarization in Ecuador
Ecuador, like many Latin American nations, is being militarized by the United States – the main NATO country – which continues to impose its hegemony and dominance on the world through military pressure and force.Ecuador has unfortunately signed an agreement with the US and will send its Russian-made weapons to the war in Ukraine. Latin American countries are against war and support peace negotiations to resolve international conflicts.

América Latina: las implicancias de la militarización de EEUU en Ecuador
Ecuador, como muchas naciones de América Latina, están siendo militarizadas por los Estados Unidos – el principal país de la OTAN – que sigue imponiendo en el mundo su hegemonía y dominio por medio de la presión y la fuerza militar.Ecuador ha firmado, lamentablemente, un acuerdo con EEUU y enviará sus armas de fabricación rusa a la guerra de Ucrania. Los países de América Latina están contra la guerra y apoyan negociaciones de paz para resolver los conflictos internacionales.
¡¡No más Militarización de EEUU ni de la OTAN!!

A new start for the World Social Forum
by Tord Bjork, 23.02.2024*
A new start for the World Social Forum
On the surface, things look very good. Trees are covering more and more areas. In pictures from above, the Himalayan valleys are green, two-thirds forest. But 90 per cent are conifers. Below them there is hardly any vegetation, biodiversity is being lost, the soil is becoming more and more sterile, dry, unusable and unable to store water. The Himalayas are rapidly becoming what is known as a green desert. There is also less and less snow. This is accelerating the melting of the glaciers.

Guidelines adopted in Porto Alegre (fact box)
Declaration adopted in Porto Alegre The WSF is guided by a declaration adopted in Porto Alegre that seeks alternatives to imperialism, capitalism, patriarchalism and a better relationship between man and nature. The declaration favours what is called an open space where no decisions are made in the name of all participants.

Why Israel’s Violence Gets So Much Notice (It’s Not Antisemitism)
The question of Israel is whether European colonialism can ever make peace with the rest of the world.
Partisans of Israel have often asked: On a planet overflowing with war, famine, and cruelty, why does the world pay so much attention to what’s happening in Gaza (and the West Bank) in comparison with other horrors? The implied or explicit answer is that this must be due to antisemitism.

How Nato seduced the European Left
The anti-war movement has fallen for a progressive circus
BY Lily Lynch May 16, 2023
In January 2018, Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg held an unprecedented press conference with Angelina Jolie. While InStyle reported that Jolie “was dressed in a black off-the-shoulder sheath dress, a matching capelet and classic pumps (also black)”, there was a deeper purpose to this meeting: sexual violence in war.
