Former Deputy-Chair of the Bundestag Sub-committee on Disarmament, Arms Control and Non-proliferation. 34 current and former legislators from NATO countries sent a joint letter yesterday to United States President Biden encouraging him to adopt a policy of no-first-use (or sole purpose) of nuclear weapons in the current U.S. nuclear posture review, and to use the occasion of the 10th Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty Review Conference in January 2022 to universalise this policy. The call by the legislators contradicts recent reports that United States allies want the US government to retain the option of initiating nuclear war (first-use options). “Let us state clearly that we do […]

On Saturday, North Korea marked the 75th anniversary of the founding of its ruling Workers’ Party, with a grand nighttime parade featuring thousands of troops and hundreds of pieces of military equipment held in Pyongyang. North Korea’s massive predawn parade was aimed more-so at a domestic audience than Pyongyang’s potential adversaries, says Kim Dong-yup, veteran North Korea watcher, ex-military officer and professor at Kyungnam University’s Institute for Far East Studies. “In my opinion, there were no special messages for South Korea or the United States in Chairman Kim Jong-un’s speech,” the academic explains. “Some analysts will probably find it important that […]
Donald Trump is a uniter—just not in the way he had hoped. His presidency has brought American Jews and Muslims together to defeat him in 2020. It has also increased each respective community’s support for fellow minority groups. Those are the findings of a new report by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU), a nonpartisan organization created in 2002 that focuses on issues impacting the Muslim American community. As ISPU found, Jews and Muslims are the two religious groups that, by far, least approve of Trump. Only 34 percent of Jews and 30 percent of Muslims say Trump is […]

The project for a top-notch station, Gateway, is a would-be collaboration with the US, and has already driven the Japanese space agency to apply for hefty government funding – around $2.7 billion yearly for the next 15 years.

Making use of local water and water-derived fuel is expected to cost significantly less than transporting […]

Putin said he will not deploy these forces unless “extremist elements in Belarus cross a line and start plundering.” Speaking to the state-run Rossia 1 broadcaster, he said the law enforcement agents would be on standby in case pro-democracy protests strengthened. “We’ve agreed that [the reserve] will not be used until the situation starts getting out of control,” Putin said, according to The Moscow Times.

LONDON (Sputnik) – UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday it was “vitally important” that children return to classes in September, in an attempt to convince parents still wary of COVID-19 risks in schools. “It’s vitally important that we get our children back into the classroom to learn and to be with their friends. Nothing will have a greater effect on the life chances of our children than returning to school,” Johnson said in a statement.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Friday sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy demanding documents and answers by August 21 on changes they say could damage the USPS’s ability to process mail-in ballots. The Democrat-media complex exploded a couple weeks ago and accused President Trump of “destroying” the US Postal Service after the President’s newly appointed Postmaster General made structural changes. New changes made by Louis DeJoy have reportedly ‘slowed down’ the mail deliveries, prompting the left to accuse President Trump of corrupting the US Postal Service in order to deter people […]
On Tuesday, US authorities gave China 72 hours to shut down its Houston, Texas Consulate, accusing its staff of systematically engaging in espionage. Beijing responded by ordering US diplomats to leave America’s diplomatic mission in Chengdu, with Washington claiming that China has no right to respond in that kind of tit-for-tat manner.

The Trump administration plans to send federal forces to violence-torn cities across the nation to help quell riots and surging crime, regardless of whether Democrat mayors and governors welcome Washington’s involvement. “I’m going to do something, that I can tell you,” President Donald Trump said Monday in the Oval Office. “We’re not going to let New York and Chicago, and Philadelphia and Detroit and Baltimore and all of these – Oakland is a mess – we’re not going to let this happen in our country.

Following news that US President Donald Trump intends to withdraw thousands of troops from Germany, White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien suggested they might be headed for the Pacific instead. On June 15, Trump announced his intent to slash US troops garrisoned in Germany by nearly 10,000 until the Central European nation pays its “delinquent” NATO support bill. Each NATO nation is expected, but not required, to spend at least 2% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on defense; Germany dedicated 1.4% of its GDP to military matters last year. The move would leave about 25,000 US troops in Germany. […]
