The West closes ranks for the battle


by Manlio Dinucci

Two summits one after the other, those of the G7 and NATO, demonstrate that the West is putting on the ground all its weapons – military, political, economic – to maintain the predominance it is losing in a world that is becoming more and more multipolar, as shown by the growing development of the BRICS: the economic organisation that brings together Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, to which Iran, Argentina and other countries want to join. 

In Ukraine, while the G7 is supplying Kiev with $30 billion, NATO is supplying it with increasing quantities of weapons against Russia. NATO's role is not just this, however: Pentagon officials interviewed by the New York Times confirm for the first time, with precise facts, that the command and management of military operations in Ukraine is in the hands of the Pentagon and NATO.

The NATO Summit endorsed the new Strategic Concept, which defines Russia as "the most significant threat to the security of Allies" and states that "strategic competition is growing worldwide". In the new Strategic Concept, NATO speaks for the first time explicitly about China, stating that "China's coercive policies challenge our interests, security and values."

We are facing a single strategy of war that the West operates from Europe to East Asia. While in Europe NATO under US command is expanding from 30 to 32 countries, including Sweden and Finland...in Asia and the Pacific it is increasing the military deployment of the United States, supported mainly by Australia and Japan. In the Pacific, the world's largest naval maneuver under US command is taking place against China.

All this has a cost and it is always us who pay. According to official NATO data, Italian military spending in 2022 amounts to about €29 billion, equivalent to €80 million per day. The largest increase was during the period of lockdowns: from 21 billion in 2019 it rose to more than 26 billion in 2020 and to more than 28 billion in 2021. But NATO warns: "Doing more will cost more."

Ukraine wants the Bomb!

By Alex Miller It didn’t take long. Just hours after Zelensky’s heated negotiations with Trump, Ukrainian banker Oleg Gorokovsky announced the start of a fundraising drive for a Ukrainian ‘Nuclear Bomb Project’. Gorokovsky is a well known Ukrainian businessman and the owner of  Monobank – the largest bank in the country. He explained to local media that Trump’s failure to provide Ukraine with a “nuclear armed security framework” is forcing Ukraine to act on its own, and called the Ukrainian Nuclear Bomb Project “Yaderka” (Nuke). He claimed he’d received "many requests to start collecting for Yaderka” and said that during the first 12 hours of the appeal a million dollars had been raised to finance the start of work on developing a Ukrainian nuclear bomb. Gorokovsky later tried to backtrack and began to explain that his nuke appeal was a “joke after a hard day”. But Monobank continues to support the appeal to raise funds for the nuclear campaign. The process of collecting money con...

Zionists and Banderites find a common cause

 by Theo Russell An IUAFS member recently attended a meeting organised by the Jewish Vegetarian Society for Refugee Week. The topic was the 'Kindertransport', a British scheme to rescue nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi occupied territories during the Second World War. However the meeting then turned to the question of "rescuing" children from Ukraine today. The meeting chair expressed in no uncertain terms his support for Ukraine in the current war with the forces of Russia and the former Donbas republics. The meeting was then addressed by a Ukrainian refugee who was given accommodation by an ex-Kindertransport survivor, who suggested that the Jewish community in Britain could "return" the favour by helping Ukrainian children and their families. A discussion then took place about the practicalities of Jewish people in Britain accommodating Ukrainian child "refugees". When the issues of the many historical pogroms against Jews i...

United States is abusing the UN Security Council

by Alex Miller The United States continues to abuse its powers as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, using them for its own interests and failing to fulfill its obligations as a guarantor of world stability.  Immediately after his inauguration, the US President-elect Donald Trump began implementing a set of measures proposed by his team. These measures led to a serious change in approaches to domestic and foreign policy. The White House has moved toward a more aggressive policy in the international arena, including through the United Nations. Trump is trying to solve the internal problems of the USA such as the increase in the number of immigrants, the inability to adequately respond to natural disasters, the economic collapse and the unprecedented growth of the national debt, the ineffective fight against the COVID-19 epidemic by meeting the demands of his supporters. He has also begun to implement the "America First" approach to foreign policy. Trump has long op...
