“The usual suspects” who see NATO plots everywhere, usually quoting France’s leadership of NATO as key to their crackpot theories, France having left NATO in 1959, know nothing about Syria. There is no “Arab Spring” in Syria, the infamous “tin foil hat”plots that claim George Soros is the afterbirth of Maggie Thatcher and Satan. Syria went […]

President Obama’s continued bombing of Pakistan, despite Islamabad’s repeated calls for the CIA to halt its attacks, means the two nations may technically be at war, says a US Congressman. Dennis Kucinich, who has represented Ohio since 1996, described the US covert drone programme as ‘vigilantism conducted by robots’. In an interview with the Bureau, Democrat […]

(CHICAGO) – What’s ongoing bears disturbing similarities to events preceding NATO’s 1999 Yugoslavia aggression. In the 1990s, NATO lawlessly intervened for the first time outside territories of its member countries. No nation or alliance may attack another except in self-defense.
