Dear friend,
Welcome to TFF PressInfo # 737.
Given all the populist, emotionalist nonsense about Russia being a military threat to NATO and neutral states, you may find today’s headline provocative. But it is high time for some rational, fact- and history-based counterviews to NATO countries’ permanent propaganda to justify their alliance’s offensive deterrence, forward deployment, exercises, and perverse over-armament that will only decrease peace and welfare and never solve conflicts.
Here is why Russia as a huge threat to NATO is humbug.
Since TFF is completely independent of state and corporate funding and relies only on citizens’ donations - that is you - we continue to speak truth to power as we have since 1986. Here is a unique analysis with 30 arguments for closing down the peace-eroding, offensive, warmongering NATO. And here is a concrete future vision of how to make global peace and common security.
Actually, it is all rather simple. We have to begin to think - and think differently.
Our five platforms are The Transnational, TFF Substack, TFF 2 News, TFF Vimeo and Jan Oberg's online home. Here is a selection of new posts on them:
