NATO Is “Brain Dead”. Institutionalized Killing as the “New Normal”

NATO’s 70th Birthday Party, in London – the Birthday of a brain-dead child! What a feat! By Peter Koenig Global Research, The two-day London NATO conference just ended – and calling it a NATO “crisis” is an understatement. The crisis is such that President Trump canceled the Press Conference at the end of the summit, officially saying that there was enough press briefing during the conference, but rather more honestly hinting at the all-pervading conflict-loaded ambiance between and among the NATO partners, that their disagreements should not be further exposed through a media event. To start with, French President Emmanuel Macron at the onset of the Conference declared NATO unequivocally as “brain dead”. For once he is absolutely right. Trump chastised Macron as ‘unr...

The US-NATO-'Israel' Sponsored Al Qaeda Insurgency in Syria

The US-NATO-Israel Sponsored Al Qaeda Insurgency in Syria. Who Was Behind the 2011 “Protest Movement”? It Started in Daraa on March 17, 2011 By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, Author’s note Almost nine years since the beginning of the war on Syria in March 2011, so-called “progressives” have supported the so-called “opposition”, which is largely made up of Al Qaeda affiliated mercenaries. A US-NATO led war of aggression is portrayed as a “civil war”. President Bashar Al Assad is casually described as a dictator who is killing his own people. The millions of deaths resulting from US-NATO led wars are not an object of concern. The anti-war movement died in the wake of the Iraq war (April 2003). Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and counterterrorism preva...

NATO’s Continuing Enlargement Aims at Further Weakening of Russian Influence in the Balkans

By Paul Antonopoulos Global Research, Of the 29 NATO member states, 22 have already ratified the accession protocol of North Macedonia into the anti-Russian alliance. The ratification process will likely be completed before the end of NATO’s summit taking place in London this week, which will make North Macedonia the newest country in military alliance. This now appears even more likely since U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave his endorsement, saying on Twitter: “Pleased to announce the United States deposited its ratification of North Macedonia’s NATO Accession Protocol. One step closer to welcoming North Macedonia as NATO’s 30th Ally!” This will make North Macedonia the fourth country out of the six successor states of Yugoslav...

NATO’s Support for Ukraine’s Putschist Regime

NATO’s Support for Ukraine’s Putschist Regime Stephen Lendman US-installed Ukrainian putschists have no legitimacy. Deputy NATO Secretary-General/former US Defense Secretary for International Affairs Alexander Vershbow runs the alliance, Jens Stoltenberg a figurehead leader. Days earlier, Vershbow affirmed NATO’s support for the US created monster, sharing a 1,500 mile land and sea border with Russia, a cancer in central Europe, a dagger targeting Russian Federation’s heartland, a flashpoint risking global war. He spoke at the Kiev Security Forum, featuring Russia bashing, suppressing hard truths, substituting misinformation and Big Lies, repeating the tired old canard about “Russia’s annexation of Crimea,” ignoring the right of its people to self-determination, their overwhelm...

Towards “NATO-Exit”? Shift in the Structure of Military Coalitions. Turkey’s Alliance with Russia, China and Iran?

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, Recent developments confirm that NATO is in crisis. Turkey is a NATO heavyweight which is allied with Iran and Russia. The Pentagon’s policy of “encirclement” of Iran formulated in the wake of the 2003 Iraq War is defunct. Iran has good relations with neighbouring countries including Turkey, Iraq and Pakistan. All three countries have refused to collaborate with Washington. Needless to say the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is in crisis. America can no no longer rely on its staunchest allies. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. What will be the outcome? Towards a movement to Exit-NATO leaving the Pentagon to “pick up the pieces? (Michel Chossudovsky, December 7, 2019). First published in M...

NATO Summit – and 2020 Planned Aggression

By Peter Koenig Global Research, A recent article “NATO is Brain Dead” described the obsolescence Of NATO and NATO’s defense mechanisms against non-existence enemies. Amazing – with pretense of protection and security in Europe and the world, against Russia and China and fighting against “terror” – as the endless war against endless terror fought by the same forces which create the endless terror – is a very lucrative absurdity. Now we learn from the French Peace Movement which was present at the 70th Birthday at Buckingham, London – that the horrors of NATO planned for the coming year – and if not stopped – they will be sowing destruction way beyond – are even more horrific than originally imagined. We also lean that Macron – who coined the by now legendary phrase “NA...

NATO Secretary General Targets ‘Rising China’: Why Cold War Newspeak Never Went Away

By Cynthia Chung Global Research, On December 3rd, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that NATO must address the “security implications” of China’s rise as a “military power”, and in true Orwellian doublespeak, insisted that he did not want to make an adversary out of Beijing but rather was interested in analysing how best to respond to the challengesChina poses in a balanced way…by announcing it a ‘security threat’. What are these challenges? That China now has the second largest defense budget in the world and has modern capabilities such as long-range missiles that can reach the whole of Europe and the U.S. This alone is apparently enough cause for Stoltenberg to announce publicly that NATO must address this as a challenge to western ‘s...

Trump Was Right: NATO Should Be Obsolete

by MEDEA BENJAMIN The three smartest words that Donald Trump uttered during his presidential campaign are “NATO is obsolete.” His adversary, Hillary Clinton, retorted that NATO was “the strongest military alliance in the history of the world.” Now that Trump has been in power, the White House parrots the same worn line that NATO is “the most successful Alliance in history, guaranteeing the security, prosperity, and freedom of its members.” But Trump was right the first time around: Rather than being a strong alliance with a clear purpose, this 70-year-old organization that is meeting in London on December 4 is a stale military holdover from the Cold War days that should have gracefully retired many years ago. NATO was originally founded by the United S...

Can the US Get Out of Its Endless Wars?

by RICHARD LACHMANN Photograph Source: The U.S. Army – CC BY 2.0 Donald Trump in 2016 ran in opposition to the Iraq war and more generally to massive US commitments around the world. His denunciations of “endless wars” resonated enough that many voters ignored his documented early support for the Afghan and Iraq wars. Indeed, areas where casualties in those wars were highest voted more heavily for Trump than other demographic and economic factors would have predicted. Voters, with plenty of justification from her record as Secretary of State, thus pegged Hillary Clinton as a warmonger. Trump, at least so far, is a militarist too. He has yet to withdraw the remaining troops from Afghanistan or Iraq. In Syria, he ended up merely redeploying soldiers from the border w...
