Boaventura de Sousa Santos | Independent Media Institute – TRANSCEND Media Service,
18 Jul 2022

On the other hand, the history of empires shows that contraction goes hand in hand with decline, and that decline is irreversible and entails much human suffering.

Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate | Centro Studi Sereno Regis – TRANSCEND Media Service,
18 Jul 2022
12 Luglio 2022 – La NATO è la macchina da guerra globale che gli Stati Uniti dominano; la cui politica è la “Full Spectrum Dominance”. Contrariamente alle sue affermazioni, la NATO non è un’organizzazione difensiva. Il suo scopo è stato quello di agire come strumento per il dominio mondiale degli Stati Uniti e di prevenire tutte le sfide all’egemonia statunitense. Avrebbe dovuto essere sciolta nel 1991, dopo lo scioglimento del Patto di Varsavia, ma invece si è espansa in quindici nuovi Paesi.
