NATO to Double or Triple US Nuclear Sharing Warheads, Normalize a Confrontation Which Could Lead to Thermonuclear War
NATO is no longer even bothering to hide that it wants to expand its nuclear footprint on the “old continent”.

War in the hands of the algorithm
There was a time when wars were decided on paper maps, with officers hunched over a table, radio calls, and hours—sometimes days—spent verifying information before pressing a button.

Europe Wants Soldiers, Not Solutions: Germany’s Draft and the Return of the War Economy
CNN dresses Germany’s new conscription regime as common sense, but its language reveals an empire preparing its young for war.
