Whilst it is right to be fearful of the potential military threat that Russia will shortly once again pose to its neighbours, the far greater threat is from the US, at least for as long as the Bush doctrine pertains.
The former Soviet bloc states of central and eastern Europe were systematically impoverished by an unjustified arms race essentially instituted by relentless, US led propaganda for which the EU taxpayer, in having to now finance the reconstruction of these countries, is picking up the bill. Why should we allow them to become US satellites as they were once satellites of the Soviet Union?
The expansion of NATO (particularly its activities in the former Yugoslav republic) is a direct result of muddle and indecision by the EU and its member states.
It is absolutely vital to the future security of Europe, that the EU should develop its own comprehensive defence policy and one which is premised on the assumption that the US is as much of a potential enemy as Russia, if not more so. All US and NATO bases need to be expelled from European territory as a matter of urgency just as the CIA and Mossad need to be proscribed as the terrorist organisations they undoubtedly are.
The encirclement of Russia, by NATO bases is as unacceptable to Russia as the siting of Soviet missile bases in Cuba was to the US. It can only exacerbate tensions and precipitate a new arms race which, whilst this will undoubtedly be welcomed by the US military-industrial complex, has to be opposed by every means possible as far as Europe is concerned. NATO is a US canard to unload as much of its defence costs as possible, onto the EU taxpayer.
We've been down this particular road already and it leads nowhere. Besides, all weapons of mass destruction are intrinsically contrary to international law and the preferred, overriding objective of a pan European defence policy should be that of international disarmament.
It is now high time that the US Trojan horse in our midst that is NATO is consigned to the knacker's yard of history.
As for the so-called terrorist threat, there is none. There is no reliable evidence whatever, that 9/11 was caused by terrorists. It is now generally accepted that the US government was itself in some way complicit in that particular atrocity. Moreover, we do have first hand evidence of the way US forces have conducted themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan and the way in which it treats its prisoners and one has to ask what atrocity is the current US administration not capable of?
What is also certain is that the policies of globalisation first saw the light of day in Chile under Pinochet and that disappearances, indefinite detention, torture and murder by the State was the only means by which such policies could be imposed upon the people. The only "war of terror" in evidence is by the US and its allies against those who oppose their agenda.
