Stephen F. Cohen on

Washington’s NATO buildup on Russia’s borders, its refusal to cooperate with Moscow in Syria and Ukraine, and its anti-Putin propaganda form an ominous pattern. Nation contributing editor Stephen F. Cohen and John Batchelor continue their…

BREXIT: So Be It! Now What? What's Next?

Johan Galtung on

On the possible positive side is EU independence of the USA, not choosing US foreign-military (and university system!) policy instead of working out its own. …The vote turned out like the two referenda held in Norway in 1972 and 1994. And much for the same reason: Protestant break with Rome – Catholic, imperial – Henry VIII made himself head of the Anglican Church in 1534. Religion was not the only reason, there are Protestant Nordic members of EU, closer to the continent and closer to Russia. World history, a short while after Pope Francis – Patriarch Kirill also made world history, bridging the Catholic-Orthodox 395-1054 gap.

Russia Will Respond to NATO's Continued Build-up and Increasingly Hostile Rhetoric

RT on

Putin: Russia will respond to ‘aggressive NATO rhetoric’ Russia will take adequate measures to counter NATO’s increasingly “aggressive rhetoric,” President Vladimir Putin told MPs at the closing session of the State Duma. He called to create an international security system open to all countries. It’s necessary to create a collective security system void of “bloc-like thinking” and open to all countries, Putin said on Wednesday in Russia’s parliament. “Russia is ready to discuss this extremely important issue,” he said, adding that such proposals have been so far left unanswered by Western countries. “But again, as it was at the beginning of WWII, we don’t see any positive response,” he continued. “On the contrary, NATO ups its aggressive rhetoric and aggressive actions near our borders.” “In this environment, we must pay special attention to strengthening our country’s defense capabilities,” he concluded.

RUSSIA, CHINA FORMING AN INCREDIBLE DEFENSIVE WALL TO PROTECT HUMANITY FROM WESTERN TERRORISM

Andre Vltchek on

“China Will React If Provoked Again: You Risk the War” Interview with Andre Vltchek This interview first appeared in the Italian language, published by ‘L’AntiDiplomatico’ Q: I start from a brutal question: What has become of a country that it offering Donald Trump as its ‘best candidate’? AV: It is not much different from the country that it used to be for decades, even centuries. Since the beginning, the US presidents (all of European stock, of course), had been promoting slavery, extermination campaigns against the native population of North America, barbaric wars of aggression against Mexico, and other Latin American countries, the Philippines, etc. Has anything changed now? I highly doubt it. Donald Trump is horrendous, but he is also honest. Both Presidents Clinton and Obama were great speakers, but unrepentant mass murderers. Q: In a recent survey over 53% of Americans were against both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. How long will we continue to consider the United States a democracy? And why, in your opinion, is abstention the only form of “rebellion” by a population completely excluded from the decision-making stage?
