NATO – The US dominated Global War Machine

Syria
Patrick Murphy’s column in the Irish News of l8/6/22 entitled ‘Pope’s comments may help avert global conflict’ are courageous and challenging.  Courageous in that Ireland (and most of Europe) are caught up in Russia phobia and war propaganda being peddled by our main stream media and military industrial complex.    Murphy quoted Pope Francis as saying that the war was ‘perhaps somehow either provoked or not prevented’.   I think this statement hints towards the elephant in the room (NATO/US endless expansion).   The US  Peace Council of 12th May, 2022 (www.uspeacecouncil.com)  describe the Ukraine as a US Manufactured Conflict and  says ‘Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine could have been avoided if the US had not relentlessly provoked it.’   NATO – the US dominated Global War Machine whose policy is ‘full dominance spectrum’…

Militarism is never the answer – Press Release

Syria
Although we all condemn President Putin`s action in entering Ukraine we must now consider what steps can be taken to de-escalate the situation. Although some low level talks have been held we must consider the best options to not stroke or escalate a war in Europe.  Both sides need assurances of their own safety with Russia requesting that Ukraine remaining non-NATO/neutral state.  This is very important to the Russians.  Before the break-up of USSR, NATO promised never to move East into ex-soviet countries.  They now have missiles and bases in most ex-soviet countries. The Ukrainians also need guarantees of their own security.
