Global Warfare, US-NATO Military Escalation, Looming Dangers

NOVANEWS What May 2018 Has in Store: It’s Difficult to Understate the Looming Dangers By Peter Korzun Strategic Culture Foundation The month of May is always associated with V-E Day. The sentiments of “never again” were strong 73 years ago, in 1945 when the UN was founded. Since then Europe has put a huge amount of effort into creating a unique security system to prevent armed conflicts. It was never perfect, but by and large it worked. Other continents used to look on with envy and try to establish security regimes of their own. Multiple agreements are still in force, working to prevent the worst scenarios, but today they appear to be somewhat forgotten and are failing to meet their objectives. Yet by no stretch of the imagination would anyone have imagined that May 2018 would be...

The Death of Milosevic and NATO’s Responsibility. Was He Assassinated?

NOVANEWS By Christopher Black    On March 11, 2006, President Slobodan Milosevic died in a NATO prison. No one has been held accountable for his death. In the 12 years since the end of his lonely struggle to defend himself and his country against the false charges invented by the NATO powers, the only country to demand a public inquiry into the circumstances of his death came from Russia when Foreign Minister, Serge Lavrov, stated that Russia did not accept the Hague tribunal’s denial of responsibility and demanded that an impartial and international investigation be conducted. Instead, The NATO tribunal made its own investigation, known as the Parker Report, and as expected, exonerated itself from all blame. But his death cannot lie unexamined, the many questions unanswered, t...

Endgame Russia: NATO Sprawl Invades Eastern Europe, No More Illusions

NOVANEWS By Robert Bridge Strategic Culture Foundation In the past, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) justified its militarization of large swaths of Eastern Europe by pointing to the omnipresent threat of terrorism, or some ‘rogue’ foreign state, inherently understood to be Iran. Today the mask has slipped and it is no longer denied that NATO’s primary target is Russia. But first, a trip down nightmare lane. The road to ruin – at least as far as US-Russia relations were concerned – began immediately following the 9/11 terror attacks. Three months after that fateful day, in December 2001, George W. Bush informedVladimir Putin that the US was withdrawing from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, a strange move considering that the treaty had kept the peace between the ...

The Biggest Threat to World Peace Is NATO

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr By Eric Zuesse   On November 8th, Britain’s Daily Mail bannered “NATO tells Europe to prepare for ‘rapid deployment’:” and sub-headed “Defence chiefs say roads, bridges and rail links must be improved in case tanks and heavy vehicles need to be quickly mobilised” (to invade Russia, but the newspaper’s slant was instead that this must be done purely defensively: “In October, NATO accused Russia of misleading them, saying that Moscow had deliberately violated international rules of military drills”). The article continued: Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called for the infrastructure update across Europe as NATO is set to overhaul its command structure for the first time since the Cold War During a press conference in Brussels, Stoltenber...

NATO Intensifies Its Preparations for War with Russia

NOVANEWS By Philipp Frisch World Socialist Web Site Against the backdrop of US aggression against North Korea, NATO is intensifying its preparations for war with Russia, the world’s second largest nuclear power. A report in the German news magazine Der Spiegel (Issue 43/2017) based on a secret NATO document indicates how far plans for war have progressed. The news magazine concludes: “In plain language: NATO is preparing for a possible war with Russia.” In the document entitled “Progress report on the Alliance’s Enhanced Deterrence and Defence Disposition,” leading military figures call for a major boost to military capabilities in order to conduct a so-called “Major Joint Operation Plus.” The abstruse terminology in fact stands for a war involving the main military organisat...

Is NATO Preparing for War on Russia?

NOVANEWS By Stephen Lendman     Bilateral Russia/US relations are dismal – so far confined to a war of words, risking things turning hot. Hostile US actions include: deploying US-led NATO forces close to Russia’s border – breaching the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE -1991), limiting conventional military equipment in Europe; staging provocative military exercises in bordering countries, rehearsing belligerence against the Russian Federation; notably using Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland as training grounds for US-led NATO wars; preparing for hybrid and conventional war on Russia; inventing and hyping a nonexistent “Russian threat;” abandoning the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty; breaching the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force...

NATO attack on Serbian state TV wiped from record

NOVANEWS By Shane Quinn | The Duran  On 23 April 1999, a NATO missile attack on Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) headquarters killed 16 employees of the state broadcaster. The forgotten war crime occurred during the Kosovo War (March 1998-June 1999), and was part of NATO’s aerial campaign alongside the US-backed Kosovo Liberation army, in opposition to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In the aftermath of the attack there were no great public campaigns launched for the 16 murdered journalists and employees, no outpouring of emotion for those killed, no calls for solidarity and togetherness in the face of aggression. On the contrary the West justified this grievous blow against freedom of expression, praised it even. Tony Blair, Britain’s then Prime Minister, welcomed the killings wh...

NATO and Western Militarism in a Multipolar World

NOVANEWS Global Research News Hour 2017 Summer Series 6 By Michael Welch, Radhika Desai, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, and Paul Kellogg   “In this pact, we hope to create a shield against aggression and the fear of aggression–a bulwark which will permit us to get on with the real business of government and society, the business of achieving a fuller and happier life for all our citizens.” – Address by US President Harry S. Truman, on the occasion of the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty (April 4, 1949) [1] LISTEN TO THE SHOW  The establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in April of 1949 was defended, at least in public discourse, as a necessary bulwark against threats to peace posed by the Soviet Union. Composed of 12 member states at the time, NATO was ...
