Artiklen publiceredes den 10. jun i 2018 og overskriften må vække opmærksomhed. DR stiller ikke spørgsmålet om det er OK at USA har dem. Nej, man forklarer hvorfor det er OK. DR’s journalist trækker ikke substantielle modargumenter frem og interviewer kun en ekspert hvis udsagn bekræfter at det er OK. Efter hvad man kan søge sig frem til […]
Uffe Geertsen døde, 89 år gammel, tilbage i marts men først i går opdagede jeg det og vil skrive dette om ham og vort meget gode samarbejde – omend det er længe siden. Uffe arbejdede dengang på Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, MS. Mens han er mest kendt som folkeoplyser i den bedste humanistiske højskoletradition og for sit livslange engagement for vedvarande energi […]
Jan Oberg Comment A US war game/scenario being reported by The Intercept is pretty revealing for the lack of even the slightest re-thinking of what the Global War On Terror (GWOT) is really all about. The US military’s game is about violence-for-violence, tit-for-tat. The main result from this – anti-intellectual – attitude and policy is that there are about 80 […]
With his speech today – half an hour ago – U.S. President Trump has taken a huge step into uncharted territories. (Here on video). One that implies a 60-75% risk of leading to a US attack on Iran. Behind him stands the hardline militarists whom he has himself appointed. Secondly, neo-conservative individuals and think tanks who have brought the world only a series of failed wars and unspeakable human misery since the invasion of Afghanistan. Third, the Military-Industrial-Media-Academic Complex, MIMAC, that is outside real democratic control and pushes relentlessly for ever-increasing armament and wars and serves the public all kinds of weird, fake images of what threatens the US. Further, pro-Israeli and pro-Saudi lobby organisations and extremely wealthy individuals who buy political influence and thereby destroy the very foundations of democracy and free opinion formation. • Against these numerically tiny elites stand virtually the rest of the world, including NATO allies and the EU.

Udenrigsminister Anders Samuelsen er langt dygtigere i rollen som USAs udenrigsambassadør end som dansk udenrigsminister. Citaterne i denne artikel vidner om omfattende uvidenhed om Nordkorea, historien om Nord og Syd, Ikkespredningsaftalen, konfliktløsning – herunder diplomatisk samtale – og atomvåben. Mødet kan kun have bidraget til at cementere Nordkoreas oplevelse af at være trængt og få en uretfærdig behandling. Man må […]
Jan Oberg comments on NATO and the need for a much larger citizens-taxpayers movement against militarism since, for almost 70 years since 1949, NATO has failed miserably in creating the peace it says it aims at. In addition it is systematically violating its Treaty.
