The clock is ticking – no war in Europe!

Europe must not become a battlefield

by Robert Seidel

(29 January 2022) The situation is coming to a frightening head behind the flood of Corona news: Washington is letting the latest negotiations with Russia go nowhere. The risk of armed action is growing. If there is a military escalation between Russia and the USA, the battlefield will be Europe.

A patron saint for sceptics

An obituary of the educationalist Hermann Giesecke

by Michael Felten

(29 January 2022) I first met him a quarter of a century ago: the left-liberal educationalist was about to retire and was beginning to challenge the educational zeitgeist; I was a common grammar school teacher who had gained his first routine and now found time to marvel at the errors and effects of reformist educational thinking in regular schools.

Rising Tensions

No Reassurance for Russia Is Dangerous

The Biden regime has blown the future

by Paul Craig Roberts*

(19 January 2022) The situation on the Russian front is far more dangerous than is realized. The reason is that the US-Russian conflict resurrected in the 21st century by the neoconservatives and the US military/security complex is far more dangerous than the 20th century Cold War.

“It’s not a bubble bursting, it’s just a company going bust”

On the Chinese economy, the interests of Western investors and the relationship between the individual and society

Simon Zeise: You once said that the rise of China will end the rule of the white man. When will the People’s Republic have replaced the USA as the world’s number one power?

Rising Tensions

Russia wants to force the US to respect the UN Charter

by Thierry Meyssan*

(15 January 2022) Russia and China have just written to the United States asking it to respect the United Nations Charter and the word it has given. This approach, devoid of any aggressiveness, calls into question not only the functioning of the UN, NATO and the European Union, but almost all the US advances since the dissolution of the USSR. It is obviously unacceptable to Washington. But the US hyper-power is not what it used to be. It will have to begin its withdrawal.

Talks in Geneva

An obligation for all to consider carefully what future we want in Germany, in Europe and in the world.

by Willy Wimmer*

(19 January 2022) Edit. In a few words, Willy Wimmer describes at the beginning of the year, with great lucidity, the weakness of Europe and the arbitrariness of the United States towards Russia, but also towards Europe.
