Last month came a warning that Turkish-Greek tensions threatened to disrupt the unity of NATO. Turkey accused Greece of militarizing the Aegean Islands, but Turkey’s constant threats and intimidation forced Greece to increase its defense spending. Erdogan has stated repeatedly his goal of a revived Ottoman Empire. In June, he threatened Greece and warned it […]
Boris Johnson touted as potential new NATO boss, told to ‘end Trumpish nonsense’ about staying on as prime minister
The catastrophic tenure of Boris Johnson as prime minister of Britain was characterized by his abject failure to govern. He was forced to resign in utter humiliation. Yet he still retains his lackeys, who are now cheering him on to pursue the prestigious job of managing the NATO alliance. The disgraced Johnson would fit right […]
Why Turkey is opposed to Finland, Sweden membership in NATO
It is no surprise that Turkey’s membership in NATO would become a stumbling block other Western countries seeking membership. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan opposes their entry because he claims that Sweden and Finland are backing “terrorism.” To Turkey, backing “terrorism” means that they support the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which Turkey considers to be […]
Turkey Wants to Block Finland and Sweden From Joining NATO, But It Should Itself Be Expelled
Among the providential results of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been the reawakening of the West to the value of its mutual defense pact, NATO, whose 30 members are all pledged to come to the defense of any member threatened with aggression. And the Ukraine war has led to a spectacular development: the desire […]
Putin Loyalist: If NATO Force Deploys in Ukraine, It’s Nuclear War
Sergey Mikheev is a Russian political scientist whom the Washington Free Beacon identifies as a “Putin loyalist,” and since he was recently featured on the state-owned Russia-1 television channel, there is no doubt that he is. That makes what he said during his TV hit on March 20 all the more serious: Mikheev said that if NATO moves into Ukraine, […]

Contrary to the impression given in the CTV article excerpted below, “Trudeau rejects Zelensky’s request for a no-fly zone citing fears of Russian escalation,” Ukrainian President Zelensky has been pleading for help from any NATO countries he can get to help him fight Russia by means of the imposition of a no-fly zone.

Iran: Khamenei blames ‘Mafia regime’ of US for Ukraine crisis, doesn’t mention Russia once
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi encouraged the Ukraine invasion right after Putin ordered it. The Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, continues to stir propaganda against what his country frequently refers to as the “Great Satan,” America. He repeats the nonsense that America is to be blamed for every woe in the world, hoping the world […]
Poland demands NATO step in to deal with Muslim migrant crisis on border with Belarus
The EU should have stepped up at the beginning of the crisis. Poland finds itself stuck in the middle of a conflict between the EU and Belarus, while the open-door EU merely observes developments and pays ineffectual lip service to the problem. Now Poland is calling on NATO –while the leaders of Latvia and Lithuania […]
In Afghanistan, the Americans Did Not Fight to Win
There have been many attempts to analyze the reasons for the Taliban’s sudden victory in Afghanistan, almost all of them focusing on the failure of will of the Afghan soldiers themselves. They were clearly not willing to fight and die in defense of a quasi-liberal and most imperfect democracy, characterized by mismanagement and corruption, […]
NATO Secretary General admits that he has ‘serious concerns’ about Turkey
Erdogan is an Islamic supremacist menace who skillfully manipulates NATO. Turkey has no place in the NATO alliance and should long ago have been thrown out. Erdogan is no friend to Europe; he has assailed it, calling it sick and collapsing, yet pushes the “Islamophobia” subterfuge with the EU, while conveniently never addressing jihad terror. […]
