NATO

Grand Illusion

January 10, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
All empires, when they are dying, worship the idol of war. War will save the empire. War will resurrect past glory. War will teach an unruly world to obey. But those who bow down before the idol of war, blinded by hypermasculinity and hubris, are unaware that while idols begin by calling for the sacrifice of others, they end by demanding self-sacrifice. Ekpyrosis, the inevitable conflagration that destroys the world according to the ancient Stoics, is part of the cyclical nature of time. There is no escape. Fortuna. There is a time for individual death.

European Security Includes Russia

December 20, 2025 Jeffrey Sachs, Consortium News. , , , , ,
Security guarantees are not one-way instruments. They go in both directions. This is not a Russian argument, nor an American one; it is a foundational principle of European security, explicitly embedded in the Helsinki Final Act, the OSCE framework, and decades of postwar diplomacy. Germany has a duty to approach this moment with historical seriousness and honesty. On that score, recent rhetoric and policy choices fall dangerously short. Since 1990, Russia’s core security concerns have been repeatedly dismissed, diluted or directly violated — often with Germany’s active participation or acquiescence.

Elbit Systems At Center Of NATO Corruption Investigation

December 10, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
Israeli weapons giant Elbit Systems is at the center of a corruption investigation involving NATO’s procurement agency, according to a series of reports published by the French outlet La Lettre in collaboration with Belgian and Dutch partners. As part of this ongoing inquiry, contracts between the company and the war alliance, estimated in the millions of euros, have been frozen, the media organizations suggest. The outlets reported that internal NATO communications dated July 2025 listed 15 contracts as suspended after inquiries were launched against current and former employees of the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).

Europe In Panic Over US Strategy For Stability With Russia

December 9, 2025 Alastair Crooke, Consortium News. , , , ,
A National Security Strategy (NSS) is produced periodically by U.S. administrations (President Donald Trump authored one during his first term). Mostly these documents lay out an idealised version of an administration’s foreign and security policy, and do not have great practical import — because of what is left out — i.e. entrenched U.S. political and economic interests; the deep foreign policy consensus overseen by the curator class of the deep security state; and the policies espoused by the mega donor collective. Nonetheless, this recently-released NSS reads rather differently by putting a distinctive “America First” gloss to U.S. foreign policy

Kremlin Slams NATO Call For Pre-Emptive Attack On Russia

December 2, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Moscow condemned on 1 December comments made by NATO's most senior military officer, threatening that Brussels might conduct a possible “pre-emptive strike” against Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the remarks “an extremely irresponsible step, indicating the alliance's readiness to continue moving towards escalation.” “We see in it a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to overcome the Ukrainian crisis,” Zakharova said. “The people making such statements should be aware of the risks and possible consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.”

US Now Violating Long-Standing Informal Proxy War Rules

October 7, 2025 Ted Galen Carpenter, Antiwar.com. , , , , , ,
NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is attracting growing attention as it threatens to spiral out of control. There is ample reason for concern. What began as a limited military assistance program to Kyiv from the United States and its European allies following Moscow’s expanded invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has morphed into something much larger and more dangerous. NATO members are no longer just supplying Ukraine with weaponry that could arguably be described as purely defensive; they are equipping their Ukrainian proxy with far more destructive, long-range weapons capable of reaching targets deep inside Russia. In addition, the United States and other NATO governments are assisting Ukrainian attacks by providing crucial military intelligence, including targeting data.

Intrigue And Confusion Reign Over Ukraine

October 6, 2025 M. K. Bhadrakumar, Consortium News. , , ,
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov came out of a meeting in New York on Sept. 24 with the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio showing a thumbs-up sign as he passed journalists. It was a confusing signal so soon after U.S. President Donald Trump publicly shamed the Russian military as a “paper tiger” and stunned European capitals by saying that Ukraine could still “fight and win” all its land. A charitable explanation could be that Trump was building the off ramp to hand the responsibility for Ukraine’s defence to the Europeans. He made a strong point that Europeans can and should do more. That said, it is also noticeable that Trump’s initial sympathy for Russia has given way steadily to a more neutral position — a shift that accelerated last month.

Colombia To Withdraw From NATO

October 2, 2025 Yuleidys Hernández Toledo, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
During the Council of Ministers, President Gustavo Petro laid out the foundations of what he called a new foreign policy for Colombia, marking a break with historical alliances, criticizing traditional diplomacy, and ordering drastic changes in the diplomatic and intelligence corps. The president emphasized a geopolitical reorientation toward Latin America, the Caribbean, and greater cooperation with Asia and Africa: “There’s another international policy to pursue here, Madam Foreign Minister. Not only on the military front, but also on the diplomatic front.” One of his most forceful announcements was his decision to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), criticizing the militaristic logic that, he said, has supported crimes against humanity.

UK Exposed For Breaching The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

September 27, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
A new legal opinion launched on the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons has found that the UK’s plans to expand its nuclear weapons programme by purchasing nuclear-capable F-35A fighter jets from the US is in breach of its disarmament commitments under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The purchase means that the UK, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, will have two delivery systems for nuclear weapons and a renewed nuclear mission for the Royal Air Force (RAF) since it retired its sovereign air-launched nuclear weapons. The UK will deploy the F-35s under NATO’s nuclear Dual Capable Aircraft mission. They will be able to deliver both conventional and the nuclear B61-12 guided nuclear bomb.

Trump Wages Economic War On US Allies; BRICS Builds Alternative System

September 18, 2025 Ben Norton and Michael Hudson, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The US government has always had a very aggressive foreign policy. The United States has intervened in dozens of countries all around the world. But what is unique about Donald Trump is that many of his aggressive policies not only target US adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, but also longtime US allies. Trump has imposed high tariffs that have hurt the economies of key US allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe. In fact, the details of the agreement that Trump imposed on Japan are quite shocking. This was reported on by the Financial Times, which wrote that “Japan confronts the increased price of US friendship”. Although I would say it’s not so much “friendship”; rather it’s vassalage. Japan has been militarily occupied by the US for 80 years, and we’re now seeing the cost of this imperial relationship.

The Militarization And Weaponization Of Media Literacy

July 19, 2025 Nolan Higdon and Sydney Sullivan, Project Censored. , , ,
During President Donald Trump’s second term, education has remained a central battleground in American politics. Republicans claim that classrooms have become hotbeds of “woke” indoctrination, accusing educators of promoting progressive agendas and tolerating antisemitism. In contrast, Democrats argue that conservatives are systematically defunding and dismantling public and higher education precisely because it teaches values like diversity, equity, and inclusion. While these partisan skirmishes dominate headlines, they obscure a much deeper and more enduring issue that encompasses all of these issues and more: the influence of corporate and military power on public education.

Peace And Development Are Better Than Austerity And War

July 18, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , , ,
Reason seems to have been gradually abolished by the language of bombs. As weapons systems get ‘smarter’ and ‘smarter’, the range of diplomatic instruments used by the Global North states becomes blunter and blunter. US and European diplomats have returned to the old colonial habit of speaking loudly and brusquely, lecturing the natives about what they should or should not do while they themselves do whatever they want. If the natives do not agree, then the old colonial rulers simply threaten to cut off their hands or bomb their homes.

Medvedev Condemns Western ‘Treachery’

July 18, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned on 17 July that Moscow must be prepared to deliver preemptive strikes against the west if necessary. Speaking to TASS on the 80th anniversary of the Potsdam Conference, Medvedev said, “The west's treacherous nature and its warped sense of superiority are still evident. And we should therefore act accordingly, responding in full or even delivering preemptive strikes if need be.” Reflecting on the historical lessons of 1945, Medvedev added that the conference – attended by the leaders of the USSR, US, and UK after their victory in World War II – revealed that relations with the west must not be based on illusions.

Fabricating Enemies In Times Of Decline: NATO 2025 Summit

July 5, 2025 Essam Elkorghli, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
In the backdrop of the ongoing NATO-backed, zionist inflicted genocide in Gaza; the illegitimate bombing of Iran in violation of international law; the western-financed annexation of Palestine's West Bank; and the three-year intense conflict between Russia and NATO-backed Ukraine; the 76th summit was held in The Hague, Netherlands. This gathering of a crumbling alliance—held against the stark reality of American imperial retreat and European vassalage—revealed an empire in terminal decline, desperately clinging to relevance through escalating militarization and propaganda.

Argentina Surrenders Latin America’s Southernmost Land To The US

June 28, 2025 Telma Luzzani, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
Although it seems like years, it has been only five months since President Donald Trump took office in the White House for the second time. His goal—effectively condensed in the slogan MAGA (Make America Great Again)—is to do whatever needs to be done to regain the lost primacy. It contemplates an unconventional socio-economic-political revolution whose scope involves us. For many reasons, Argentina and, above all, our South, are in the Trumpist “restoration” plan. He said it clearly on January 20, 2025, when he took office in the White House: “An exciting new era of national success is beginning… From this moment on, the decline of the US is over”.
