The NATO Summit in Wales on 4 and 5 September, bringing together 28 allied member states, has no other purpose than to bypass the Security Council of the UN and to replace in the opinion of the Security Council a resolution on the next intervention in Ukraine, which will be preceded by the arrival of the American troops in Eastern EU bases(9), and also in Italy, Holland and Germany.

Il NYT, con un editoriale disperato e delirante, ha invocato l’ingresso nel Paese delle forze speciali di Usa e Inghilterra per evitare una disfatta certa (ancora due giorni fa la stampa mondiale ripeteva, al di là di ogni fatto concreto, che Kiev stava per spazzare via i filorussi). Senza l’occupazione degli aeroporti di Kiev e di Odessa la guerra sarà irrimediabilmente persa da Poroshenko e soci.

Après des mois de conflit dans l'est de l'Ukraine, les présidents russe et ukrainien semblent cheminer vers une sortie de crise, à mots couverts. Mercredi 3 septembre au matin, le président ukrainien, Petro Porochenko, a annoncé sur Twitter un « cessez-le-feu permanent dans le Donbass ».

No one can claim today that the rising power of radical Sunni groups came as a surprise to them. Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki had warned repeatedly of Al-Qaida's threat to the stability and territorial integrity of Iraq and requested to acquire modern weapons to fight the extremists from the US.

Where territories were once captured by military might, he maintains that today they are being annexed by debt. The still-evolving plan is to drive destitute nations into an international bankruptcy court whose decisions would have the force of law throughout the world. The court could then do with whole countries what US bankruptcy courts do with businesses: sell off their assets, including their real estate. Sovereign territories could be acquired as the spoils of bankruptcy without a shot being fired.

The ongoing weeping and gnashing of European and other teeth over Ukraine reflects the most serious East-West confrontation since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The inability of the United Nations to agree on concerted action in the face of the downing of the Malaysian Airlines flight in July by Russian-backed rebels – like earlier paralysis before Russia’s February invasion and subsequent annexation of Crimea – brings sharply back into relief an issue that was front-and-centre for the first 45 years of the world organisation’s history.

The European Union is not (anymore) guided by politicians with a grasp of history, a sober assessment of global reality, or simple common sense connected with the long term interests of what they are guiding. If any more evidence was needed, it has certainly been supplied by the sanctions they have agreed on last week aimed at punishing Russia.
