11th July, 2023. NATO meets at Vilnius. Who wants to explore different views about NATO eg Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, some interesting videos to give different perspectives. What we do know is NATO today will irk Putin and he ouch factor for Russia … we just do not know how they will react. Medvedev is trigger happy but the say it is alcohol talks … his attitude is nuclear. The world must awaken at grassroots to understand driving forces of this war of invasion of Ukraine which is wrong but if it is a proxy war, we face dangerous times ahead. I recommend Chomsky video.

NATO meets at Vilinus.  Beware of vested interests.  Here is a different take:

Russia’s war in Ukraine has rallied support for the expansion of NATO—even long-time holdouts like Finland are now joining the alliance. The Breach’s full interview with Chomsky also covers climate change, why capitalism is a “suicide pact” and what type of organizing can create a better world. Read it here: https://breachmedia.ca/noam-chomsky-o… “NATO is a violent, aggressive alliance,” Chomsky says, and Putin gave Washington a tremendous gift by providing a pretext for its expansion. The result has been a “bonanza” for the United States and for the fossil fuel and military industries.

Wagner Will Keep Part of Its African Empire After Russian Mutiny. This always seemed to me to be the reason why Putin couldn’t just kill Prigozhin. If he did, Russia would lose its extensive influence in Africa.

bloomberg.com Wagner Will Keep Part of Its African Empire After Russian Mutiny Mercenary group will be permitted to hold onto its operations in the Central African Republic as the Kremlin scrambles to maintain its influence in Africa.

Erdogan demanded #Turkey’s admission to the #EU in exchange for Turkey’s agreement to admit #Sweden to #NATO. “First, open the way for Turkey to join the EU, and then we will clear the way for Sweden’s NATO bid, just as we did with Finland,” the Turkish president said.

My message ahead of #NATOSummit: #Russia is and will remain the most significant and direct threat to #NATO. To counter the Russian threat, the decisions we make here at #VilniusSummit must strengthen our collective defence. 1/

Ukraine needs NATO, but NATO needs Ukraine just as much. With #Ukraine‘s advanced combat experience and #NATO‘s capacity, we can ensure long-lasting peace and stability in Europe. Looking forward to decisive steps by our partners at the #VilniusSummit. #UkraineToNATO

Hundreds of people in Germany demonstrated in front of Wunstorf air base in Hanover ahead of the international Air Defender 2023 air force maneuver. NATO’s Air Defender 23 drill will see 10,000 participants and 250 aircraft from 25 nations and is aimed at putting up a strong show of force amid Ukraine conflict. However, protesters expressed concerned that the exercise will only send wrong signals to the world, especially Russia, and may escalate the crisis.

Finally: Noam Chomsky. A man in his 90’s … an incredible mind. I happen to agree with his challenge to people and that is to start “Thinking”. Social media has many advantages but attention spans are challenged and we need to use our intelligence also; we need to think.
