Libyan War Escalates as Regional Powers Attempt to Gain Stronger Influence
Alarms are sounding in Europe as Turkey, Russia and Arab states could potentially agree on shared influence in Libya, and therefore the entirety of the eastern Mediterranean, according to some experts.

NATO Splits Reveal Alliance is Redundant
If the NATO summit this week marking the 70th anniversary of its foundation in 1949 was meant to be a resounding celebration, it backfired spectacularly, more as a resounding farce.

The « American Party » within the institutions of the European Union by Manlio Dinucci
The European Parliament has just adopted a resolution which requires that the Union stop considering Russia as a strategic partner, but rather as an enemy of humanity.

The Military Industrial State Confronts Russia and China By Brian Cloughley

US Blows Up INF… Another Move Towards Downfall
It is rather astounding the American double-think. It was the US side which unilaterally abolished the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty in 2002.
