REINFORCING DETERRENCE  ON NATO'S EASTERN FLANK 

NATO EXPAND EASTWARD

US STRYKER IN POLAND

Hello friends! In a September 2014 speech in the Estonian capital of  Tallinn, President Ba- rack Obama articulated and strongly affirmed that commitment: We will defend our NATO Allies, and that means every Ally. And we will defend the territorial integrity of every single Ally. Because the defense of Tallinn and Riga and Vilnius is just as important as the defense of Berlin and Paris and London. This view is good in theory, but is it wise to risk a global nu- clear melt down because of Tallin and Riga? I don't think so.

The newly published RAND Report underlines that despite President Obama’s bold words in Tallinn, a series of RAND wargames clearly indicates that,

NATO’s current posture is inadequate to defend the Baltic states from a plausible Russian conventional attack.

The games employed Russian forces from the Western MD and the Kaliningrad oblast, a chunk of sovereign Russian territory that sits on the northeastern border of Poland, along the Baltic Sea coast, totaling 27 maneuver battalions in a short-warning attack to occupy either Estonia and Latvia or both and present NATO with a rapid fait accompli.

ANAKONDA-16

A new missile crisis is building, in a mirror image of that which led the Soviet Union in 1962 to deploy nuclear warheads in Cuba, at the doorstep of the United States. Today, the situation is the reverse. At the time, NATO was fighting the Warsaw Pact, today, it is organizing a summit in Warsaw!

THE NATO POLAND BALTIC EXERCISE

The largest war game in eastern Europe since the end of the cold war has started in Poland, as Nato and partner countries seek to mount a display of strength as a response to concerns about Russia’s assertiveness and actions.

The 10-day military exercise, involving 31,000 troops and thousands of vehicles from 24 countries, has been welcomed among Nato’s allies in the region, though defence experts warn that any mishap could prompt an offensive reaction from Moscow.

A defence attache at a European embassy in Warsaw said the “nightmare scenario” of the exercise, named Anaconda-2016, would be “a mishap, a miscalculation which the Russians construe, or choose to construe, as an offensive action”.

NATO IS CARRYING OUT A PROVOCATIVE POLICY OF ENCIRCLEMENT

Polish Honor Guard, ANACONDA-16

The continuous eastward expansion of NATO towards the borders of Russia, despite the guarantees given by the West to Gorbachov in 1989 that this would not happen; The deployment of the Aegis anti-missile defense system in Romania, Poland, Turkey and Spain.

These weapons, equipped with MK41 launchers, can be used for defensive missions (air, land, sea), but also for offensive attacks with nuclear weapons; The planned permanent rotational deployment in the Baltic States, Poland and Romania, of four battalions of 1,000 troops each, and heavy military equipment.

The creation of a “Nordic Front” against Russia, comprised of an alliance of NATO members Denmark, Iceland and Norway, and of NATO's “Partnership for Peace” (Sweden and Finland); The modernization of nuclear weapons, in particular the B61-12 bomb and the Long Range Standoff (LRSO) Cruise Missiles, based in Germany. U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein said of these weapons: "The so-called improvements to this weapon seemed to be designed... to make it more usable, to help us fight and win a limited nuclear war." 

To escape the current countdown to nuclear war, we also call on our government to create without delay the conditions for a new global peace and security architecture, based on the win-win cooperation proposed by the BRICS, cooperation which Europe and the United States, in their own interests, should join in. The vast efforts we deployed in the 20^th Centu- ry for war, must be mobilized today for peace and mutual development!

 Russian Permanent Representative to NATO Alexander Grushko’s

interview with Izvestia, published April 1, 2016

Alexander Grushko

Question: How does Russia assess the U.S. intention to deploy another armour brigade in Eastern Europe?

Alexander Grushko: We need to see how these intentions play out. Nevertheless, we assess these plans not only in terms of what the United States can additionally deploy on NATO’s “eastern flank” but also in the context of the aggregate measures that have already been taken.

Regarding the new force deployment pattern on NATO’s “eastern periphery”, this involves a qualitative change in the configuration of this presence and a significant deterioration of the situation in the military sphere.

Presently, US forces are constantly rotated in six Eastern European countries and there are continuous exercises with the participation not only of US but also European contingents. The naval grouping in the Baltic has been reinforced. Storage depots have been set up for equipment used by rotation units during joint exercises with national contingents.

Troop reinforcement infrastructure continues to be upgraded. Military activity in the airspace along our borders has intensified. The number of reconnaissance flights has drastically increased. There is constant talk about increasing the military presence in the Black Sea.

All of this goes to show that the “containment” policy that was initially declared in word is now followed up by specific military-planning decisions. This creates a long-term negative trend not only for regional security but also for European security as a whole.

Another problem is that no one knows how far this process will go. The decision to deploy an additional armour brigade is announced at a time when nothing critical is happening with regard to NATO interests on the “eastern flank”.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that these military preparat-ions have no basis in reality. There is no direct threat either to Poland or to the Baltic countries but the information campaign continues to gather momentum.

Absurd horror stories to the effect that Russia would have attacked the Baltic countries if NATO had not taken measures and deployed its troops in the region continue making the rounds. All indications point to a serious change for the worse in the military situation.

Question: Are there grounds to say that NATO actions violate agreements with Russia, in particular the Founding Act of 1997?

Alexander Grushko: An additional armour brigade to reinforce the “eastern flank” is in conflict with the spirit of the Founding Act. Meanwhile, NATO alleges that all military efforts are in full compliance with the Russia-NATO Founding Act whereby NATO pledged not to deploy additional significant combat forces on a permanent basis.

We have stated more than once that continuous rotation does not differ in any way from constant deployment. I should point out, however, that two bases of the European segment of the global missile defence system are under construction.

The base in Romania is now at combat readiness and is due to be placed under NATO command in May. The construction of the facility in Poland is in progress. The bases definitely fall under the definition of “significant” and have a permanent character.

Question: In what way will the strengthening of the US contingent impact Russia-NATO collaboration?

Alexander Grushko: In no way. There is no collaboration. In April 2014, NATO countries took the decision to halt all collaboration with Russia and all projects were put on hold. Today, we do not have a positive agenda with NATO.

We often hear NATO representatives say they are ready for dialogue. Dialogue through the permanent mission continues. We have good contacts with the alliance leadership, with all missions to NATO, but these contacts cannot substitute for the Russia-NATO collaboration that was built over the years to ensure the security of all Russia-NATO Council members in a number of areas.

We worked together on Afghanistan. We did a good deal of work in fighting terrorism not only in terms of threat assessment and sharing experience but also in implementing projects designed to rule out tragedies like the one in Brussels.

Question: What is the status of the Russia-NATO Council activity?

Alexander Grushko: Formally, the council activity has not been halted. Upon our initiative, it was convened for an emergency meeting in June 2014 in connection with the start of a punitive operation by the Kiev authorities in southeastern Ukraine. No meetings have been held since. Work is underway for the next meeting but no decision has been made yet.

Question: Can the CFE Treaty be invoked in the present situation?

Alexander Grushko: The US military buildup is proceeding amid the erosion of the arms control regime in Europe. The CFE regime was the cornerstone of European security. It set ceilings on the main categories of weapon systems and ensured effective information-sharing and an intrusive verification regime.

In the early 1990s, it became clear that the treaty did not measure up to the new political realities and adaptation talks began. These efforts ended up with the signing of the Adapted CFE Treaty. It was more in sync with the new realities. In particular, it envisioned specific mechanisms of using political tools in case forces are deployed above the established quota limits.

In 2004, Russia ratified the treaty, but NATO countries dragged their feet on the ratification under contrived pretexts. As a result, it did not come into effect. As the CFE Treaty has lost contact with reality, there is reason to say that the arms control regime in Europe is now dead. This further compounds the security situation. However, this choice was made by the NATO countries themselves.



 弗拉基米爾·普京（Vladimir Putin）認可

允許先發製人的核學說

 Владимир Путин поддерживает

ядерная доктрина, допускающая первый удар

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin Endorses

 New Nuclear Doctrine Allowing for First Strike

President Vladimir Putin has endorsed Russia’s nuclear deterrent policy which allows him to use atomic weapons in response to a conventional strike targeting the nation’s critical government and military infrastructure.

By including a non-nuclear attack as a possible trigger for Russian nuclear retaliation, the document appears to send a warning signal to the US. The new expanded wording reflects Russian concerns about the development of prospective weapons that could give Washington the capability to knock out key military assets and government facilities without resorting to atomic weapons. In line with Russian military doctrine, the new document reaffirms that the country could use nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear attack or an aggression involving conventional weapons that “threatens the very existence of the state”. But the policy document now also offers a detailed description of situations that could trigger the use of nuclear weapons.

They include the use of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction against Russia or its allies and an enemy attack with conventional weapons that threatens the country’s existence. In addition to that, the document now states that Russia could use its nuclear arsenals if it gets “reliable information” about the launch of ballistic missiles targeting its territory or its allies and also in the case of “enemy impact on critically important government or military facilities of the Russian Federation, the incapacitation of which could result in the failure of retaliatory action of nuclear forces”.

The reference to a non-nuclear strike as a possible trigger for nuclear retaliation reflects longtime Moscow concern about US military plans. The buildup of conventional forces near Russia’s borders and the deployment of missile defence assets and space-based weapons are among the threats identified by Moscow in the new document. US-Russia relations are at post-Cold War lows over the Ukrainian crisis, the accusations of Russian meddling in the US 2016 presidential election and other differences. Amid the tensions, the Kremlin has repeatedly voiced concern about the deployment of US and allied forces in the Baltics and Nato drills near Russia’s borders.

Russian officials have cast the US-led missile defence programme and its plans to put weapons in orbit as a top threat, arguing that the new capability could tempt Washington to strike Russia with impunity in the hope of fending off a retaliatory strike. In 2018, Mr Putin revealed an array of new weapons that he said would render US missile defence useless.  They include the Avangard hypersonic vehicle capable of flying 27 times faster than the speed of sound and making sharp manoeuvres on its way to target to dodge the enemy’s missile shield. The first unit armed with the Avangard entered duty in December.

Another doomsday weapon that Mr Putin has mentioned is the nuclear-armed and atomic-powered Poseidon underwater drone capable of causing a devastating tsunami near an enemy coast.Its tests are continuing. Last year, both Moscow and Washington withdrew from the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

The only US-Russia nuclear arms control agreement still standing is the New Start treaty, which was signed in 2010 by then-US president Barack Obama and then-Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.

The pact limits each country to no more than 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers and envisages sweeping on-site inspections to verify compliance. Russia has offered to extend the New Start, which expires in February 2021, while the Trump administration has pushed for a new arms control pact that would also include China.

Moscow has described that idea as unfeasible, pointing at Beijing’s refusal to negotiate any deal that would reduce its much smaller nuclear arsenal. Russian diplomats said the Avangard could be included in the New Start if it is extended. They also voiced readiness to open talks to discuss the Poseidon and other new weapons along with prospective US strategic assets. In a call with members of his Security Council over the weekend, Mr Putin warned that the New Start treaty is bound to expire, but “the negotiations on that crucial issue, important not just for us but for the entire world, have failed to start”.

THE SUWALKI GAP NATO'S NIGHTMARE

DEFENDING THE BALTIC REPUBLICS

A STRATEGIC CHALLENGE FOR NATO

The outcome was, bluntly, a disaster for NATO. Across multiple plays of the game, Russian forces eliminated or bypassed all resistance and were at the gates of or actually entering Riga, Tallinn, or both, between 36 and 60 hours. 

Vladimir Putin has now attacked neighboring countries three times, with his second invasion of Ukraine still unfolding. His pursuit of greater Russian influence along Moscow’s periphery has ended what was nearly a generation of post–Cold War peace and stability in Europe and revived legitimate fears of Moscow’s intentions among its neighbors.

 After eastern Ukraine, the next most likely targets for an attempted Russian coercion are the Baltic Republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Like Ukraine, all three spent many years as component republics of the Soviet Union, gaining independence only on its dissolution.

 The three are also contiguous to Russian territory. Also like Ukraine, Estonia and Latvia are home to sizable ethnic Russian populations that have been at best unevenly integrated into the two countries’ postindependence political and social mainstreams and that give Russia a self-justification for meddling in Estonian and Latvian affairs.

This storyline is disturbingly familiar. Unlike Ukraine, the Baltic states are members of NATO, which means that Russian aggression against them would trigger Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty —the collective defense provision according to which an at- tack against any signatory is considered to be an attack against all. This creates an obligation on the part of the United States and its alliance partners to be prepared to come to the assistance of the Baltic states, should Russia seek to actively and violently destabilize or out-and-out attack them.

In a September 2014 speech in the Estonian capital of  Tallinn, President Barack Obama articulated and strongly affirmed that commitment: [W]e will defend our NATO Allies, and that means every Ally. . . . And we will defend the territorial integrity of every single Ally. . . . Because the defense of Tallinn and Riga and Vilnius is just as important as the defense of Berlin and Paris and London. . . .

 Article 5 is crystal clear: An attack on one is an attack on all. . . . We’ll be here for  Estonia. We will be here for Latvia. We will be here for Lithuania. You lost your inde- pendence once before. With NATO, you will never lose it again.2 Unfortunately, nei- ther the United States nor its NATO allies are currently prepared to back up the Presi- dent’s forceful words.

 MILITARY GEOGRAPHY FAVORS RUSSIA

During the Cold War, NATO positioned eight Allied corps along the border between West Germany and its Warsaw Pact neighbors to the east. More than 20 allied divisions were stationed to defend that frontier, with many more plan- ned to flow in as reinforcements before and during any conflict (see Figure 1). The borders that Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania share with Russia and Belarus are roughly the same length as the one that separated West Germany from the Warsaw Pact.

 They are, however, defended only by the indigenous forces of the three Baltic states, which muster the rough equivalent of a light infantry brigade each. Since Russia’s invasion of Crimea, other NATO countries, including the United States, have rotated forces through the Baltics, but these have typically been in battalion strength or smaller—hardly enough to defend the republics against a plausible Russian attack.

 The distances in the theater also favor Russia. From the border to Tallinn along the main highways is about 200 km; depend- ing on the route, the highway (versus crow-flight) distance to Riga is between about 210 and 275 km. From the Polish border to Riga, on the other hand, is about 325 km as the crow flies; to Tallinn, almost 600 km. And to get anywhere from Poland, NATO forces would have to transit the “Kaliningrad corridor,” a 110- to 150-km-wide stretch of territory between the Russian enclave and Belarus that could be subject to long-range artillery and flank attacks from both sides and would require a commitment of (scarce) NATO forces to secure.

Dr. Adeli explains Iran's view regarding Afghanistand and the U.S.

Dr. Adeli: "Great disappointment!"

This interview was conducted in Dr. Hussein Adeli's office in the Foreign Ministry in Tehran. It was the first of two meetings that Harald Dahle had with Dr. Adeli. The first was in April 2002, and the second meeting was held in May 2003.

During the interview made in April of 2002  it became quite clear to the Editor-in-Chief, that the rejection of the United Sates to appreciate what Iran had done for the country in Afghanistan, neither did not sit well with the upper echelon of the Islamic Republic of Iran, nor was it well received by the Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs. This would have been a Golden Opportunity for the United States to better the relations with Iran, but in wain. Washington was not ready to hand Tehran a firm handshake.

Dahle: -Tehran has sent an invitation to Washington for a meeting and better the relations between the two sides. I understand that the United States has rejected this initiative. How do you view the current relations with the U.S. after this disappointment?

Adeli: -Well, actually our relations with the West in general has improved a lot during the last, may be four, five years.

Dahle: -Yes.

Adeli: -Specially with the policies that have been followed by President Khatami, Dialogue among Civilization, the Rule of Law, the Principles of Civil Society, the elimination of tensions between Iran or other countries, the elimination of misunderstanding. All of these policies have been seriously followed by Iran in its Foreign Policy and has contributed to the relations with all countries except the United States. And with the West in general we have been able to exchange delegations on the level of Foreign Minister and head of Governments.

Dahle: -Aren't the operations of the United States in Afghanistan very much based on the early assistance from Iran?

Adeli: -But with the United States, it is unfortunately to see, that even developments in Afghanistan, which owes a lot to understanding and effective assistance from Iran, has not, I believe, been able to penetrate into the hearts or the minds of decision makers in the United States.

Dahle: -Without the help from Iran in Afghanistan, you say that the United States would not have been where they are now?

Adeli: -I think that there is no doubt, even in the American eyes, that what we now see in the situation in Afghanistan owes a lot to Iranian assistance, Iranian understanding. The military success of the United States owes a lot to understanding and appreciation from Iran, and also the political process in Afghanistan owes the same thing. 

Adeli: -And may be that was a very unique opportunity for the United Sates to reciprocate these kinds of understanding, and to seize and stop those kinds of policies that are pursued by them, in the past couple of decades. But apparently there is still not a very strong sign from that side.

Dahle: -Iran has friendly relations with many countries in the world, so why not also with the United States?

Adeli: -Off course, the general policy of Iran is to have friendly relations with every country in the world, including the United States, provided that this kind of relationship would be based on an equal footing, on a mutual beneficial sort of relationship. So, this is why I think that, as the policies of the United States, which are normally a unilateral policy, we hope that one time they would join the other countries of the West and developing countries, and would join that kind of under-standing of Iran. That the developments in the region would open their eyes, and that they would adopt a new policy towards our country!

Dahle: -Thank you Dr. Adeli.

Supporting other Countries while Breaking the Law?

We don't mind support from the United States in any shape or form. Not at all. But Norwegian law cannot be set aside as if it did not exist (foreign troops is not allowed on Norwegian soil) and existential decisions must be approved by the people for the people (B61-12). Petrofilm.com:

A democracy must function all the way, not only when it is convenient. Therefore, history will judge these traitors.

Historically, the United States is slow to learn to respect the people of Norway and in any other country in which it has operated, like in Vietnam, Chile, and Iran to mention a few!

If the people of Iran is so important to the United State as it proclaims today as it is, why did it not encourage the Shah to treat the People of Iran in a better and more human way? At the time of the Shah, pore farmers hardly had any electric light at all, while the Shah bough billions of Dollars’ worth of US fighter planes and other war materials. Petrofilm.com:

If the United Sates had understood to treat the People of Iran - not only those in Tehran and in the large cities - with dignity and respect, there would not have been room for an Islamic Revolution.

Therefore, it is pertinent to ask, are greed and sales of weapons all that matters to the United States in its Foreign Policy? Under the Shahs Iran it must have been.

The German Philosopher Karl Jaspers:

That which has happened is a Warning!

To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen. And it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented. 

Karl Theodor Jaspers German, Born 23 February 1883, passed away on  26 February 1969, was a German-Swiss psychiatrist and philo-sopher who had a strong influence on modern theology psychiatry, and philosophy. After being trained in and practicing psychiatry, Jaspers turned to philosophical inquiry and attempted to discover an innovative philosophical system. He was often viewed as a major exponent of existentialism in Germany, though he did not accept the label.

LIFE IN TIME OF THE PANDEMIC

Monuments Carved in Granite on Barren Fields

By the Editor-in-chief

When one talks about Life, it is pertinent to ask, what life does one mean? The entire life, or just selected parts of it? The parts that we like and prefer and leave the rest not to be mentioned?

The people who will walk a mile with me, but say “no thank you” to carry my burden and walk another mile? The ones who never invited me for a cup of tea, but proclaim seriously that I am a “friend”? The ones who admire their own achievements highly, but never had time to visit me once. What life are they adhering to? The one in parts, or the one in totality?

A warning sign for our time.

 I want to be seen in totality; I do not want that my life be selectively butchered and twisted into something it is not. My articles are monuments in stone in a barren landscape devoid of humanism. They are there to warn and to encourage, but not to be neglected.

In today’s vain world, where it has become so increasingly popular to talk IN a mobile phone, instead of empathizing WITH and showing human DIGNITY; where one is accustomed to appreciating media hype, political lies, lack  of responsibilities leading to mass starvation and mass death; in such a world and coldness between people, the abnormal has become the trend, and sadly this is what we adhere to.

In such an inter human setting, the message is clear, why bother to respect the other person right in front of ourselves. It is so much easier to babble because the spoken word carries no longer any commitment, it is free, it does not cost anything to say this or the other. Life is easy when one is free not to engage in another person’s life-and-death experiences, when it is so much more convenient to look at a movie.

People who ignore monuments carved out in granite on barren fields are confirming themselves to the believes of death and destruction. We who write and warn have the humanistic right to say this. It is our task in life. Not to be kind to death and destruction, but to admire and encourage Life.

We expect the same from others as we expect from ourselves. And if the other fail, we must go forward alone, and warn. That is our destiny.



EUROPE NOW

Europe's EU Covid-19 Disaster is a

Crime Against Humanity!

EU'S VON DER LEYEN WITH OTHERS MUST STAND TRIAL AT

THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT ICC

Ursula Von der Leyen

The European Commission's #1 disaster President

Rejecting SPUTNIK V to the European population is a serious Criminal offence. High-level crime of the century disguises Europe's catastrophic vaccine shortage for what it is: A politically correct genocide. This is politically accepted genocide under the disguise and excuse of a criminal bureaucracy, in Norway as well as in the EU countries in line with the politically correct extermination of the Jews. The politicians have taken the entire European population for a rollercoaster ride which ends in the incinerators.  

THIS IS EUROPE’S SECOND WAVE OF GENOCIDE!

MADE POSSIBLE BY INCOMPETENT TOTALITARIANISM WRAPPED IN QUASI-HUMANISTIC HYPE

The European COVID-19 vaccine drama reflects an authoritarian acceptance of genocide on a grander scale en par with the extermi-nation of the Jews. There are disturbing common traits in both incidences. Exterminations of the Jews could have been and should have been terminated, but it wasn’t because it served a political purpose. The ongoing pandemic could have and should have been terminated in Europe by now, but it is still an ongoing phenomenon because it serves an EU-political overriding purpose, to establish an authoritarian presence. In both cases, the leadership of Europe were morally, ethically, judicially, financially, and medically incapable of solving life threatening, urgent problems.

The present leadership of the German Republic, with Angela Merkel, has been replicating 1943, although with democratic coating. But the results are the same, dead Covid-19 people are queuing up for the incinerators working on full capacity. This is Europe’s second wave of genocide wrapped in quasi-humanistic hype giving the impression of caring. To deny people of Europe vaccine, as is the case with Sputnik V, is to prioritize death for life. Europe is once again the continent of death blessed by incompetent totalitarianism.

A coffin of a person who passed away due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is burned in the Meissen crematory amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Meissen, Germany, December 23, 2020.

MEISSEN, Germany — A German crematorium in the eastern state of Saxony, which has been hit hard by the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, is struggling to keep up with the number of people who have died from COVID-19 just before Christmas.

“We are currently working 24 hours a day, from Monday to Sunday, without a break,” said Meissen crematorium manager Joerg Schaldach.

“We will of course have to keep on cremating and now the holidays are around the corner,” he said, adding special procedures were required for people who died from COVID-19.

“The coffins are sealed, the deceased are wrapped in accident-like bags, so there is barely any possibility of having contact with the virus,” said Schaldach.

The eastern German state of Saxony has reported the highest number of deaths per capita in Germany over the course of the pandemic, with around 57 in 100,000 people there having died.

Schaldach also said the crematorium at Meissen had space to store the bodies of the deceased. He hopes he will not have to use a building that has been arranged for emergencies and which could hold up to 2,000 bodies.

Germany reported a new coronavirus daily death toll high of 962 on Wednesday, bringing the total death toll to 27,968. The number of confirmed coronavirus cases jumped by 24,740 to 1,554,920, RKI data showed on Wednesday.

A Forsa poll showed on Wednesday that whereas the majority of Germans stick to coronavirus hygiene rules, most male supporters of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in eastern German states do not wear face masks when social distancing is not possible. Saxony is a stronghold for the AfD.

This is not about pressing "red buttons". This is politically accepted genocide under the guise and excuses of a criminal bureaucracy, in Norway as well as in the EU. In line with the extermination of the Jews. We are far past "pushing red buttons". Back then, in 1943, it was politically correct to push the Jews into the incinerators in Poland today it is politically correct to push people into incinerators from Bergamo to Oslo.

P.R. CHINA

Dear readers,

The editor-in-chief sincerely believes that it is better to try to establish dialogue and common ground with Russia and China on the basis of empathy, respect, and dignity, than to escalate tensions and risk a nuclear confrontation. For this simple reason, petrofilm.com in addition to being published in English, is also partially translated into Russian and Chinese; Russia in this context means the Russians living on the European side west of the Ural mountains on the Great European Plain. Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day.

There is only one Motherland

The Western reasoning does not understand the ancient Chinese reasoning revealing  an intellectual clash of opposite cultures. The island of Taiwan is part of the Chinese territory and shall be returned. Imperial China must be respected, and war is not an option.



由國家控制的欺騙上演，除了開放性和責任感。

  最大的虛偽是謊言。

挪威將 2021 年諾貝爾和平獎授予批評羅德里戈·杜特爾特總統及其政府的菲律賓記者瑪麗亞·雷薩和批評弗拉基米爾·普京政府的俄羅斯記者德米特里·穆拉托夫，而同一個國家則騷擾挪威記者哈拉爾德·達勒的寫作、出版和聲明。

記者 Dahle 以死亡威脅、拒絕在王國的所有工作、住院騷擾、極端社會傾銷、教堂和修道院中的騷擾等方式對挪威司法局進行了四十年的騷擾，但這並不能阻止挪威和平獎表現出最大的虛偽，謊言本身！

挪威司法機構腐敗，與前東德民主共和國的司法機構、警察和監視機構處於同一低水平。它涉及 19 世紀 70 年代奧古斯托·皮諾切特總統的右翼激進恐怖主義軍政府，並與禿鷹行動有關聯；七八十年代恐嚇南美洲的冷戰陰謀。在挪威：今年在薩爾普斯堡用衝鋒槍和手槍對這位年輕的波斯尼亞-瑞典男子進行殘酷的警察謀殺有助於證實南美洲無法無天和恐怖的印象。

Harald Dahle： - 奧斯陸諾貝爾研究所和秘密警察聯手騷擾我。因為我寫得好，筆鋒利。一天，我去閱覽室上班，兩個衣著光鮮的男人和一個女人擋住了我上樓梯的路。諾貝爾研究所所長 Olav Njølstad 不喜歡我在那裡，工作人員對我很不愉快。經過大量準備，我現在將司法部帶到斯特拉斯堡的歐洲人權法院。

如此小的挪威——在地圖上遙遙領先——在諾貝爾和平與寬容的意圖背後，隱藏著一個沒有底的可怕謊言。完全由一個免於公開和責任的國營騙局，一個批評別國政治氣候而不是首先審視自己國家的諾貝爾委員會完美上演。

垃圾，是一個符合2021年諾貝爾獎的合格詞。

諾貝爾理念的崩潰

奧斯陸諾貝爾和平研究所所長 Olav Njølstad 先生從秘密警察那裡得到線索，密謀除掉挪威記者 Harald Dahle。

  在奧斯陸諾貝爾和平研究所的挪威國家與促進和平工作的幕後，現在正在上演一出隱藏在國際媒體之外的戲劇。作為諾貝爾獎委員會所在地的諾貝爾和平研究所所長奧拉夫·恩約爾斯塔德（Olav Njølstad）接到了秘密警察的指示，要趕走記者哈拉爾德·達勒（Harald Dahle），就像他的整個諾貝爾工作人員一樣。在過去的三十多年裡，便衣警察在諾貝爾研究所的場所，特別是在 Dahle 先生工作和寫作的圖書館閱覽室裡，發生了大規模的騷擾。

諾貝爾希望各國人民之間和平與寬容的意圖的光彩背後隱藏著一個無底的可怕謊言，完美地由國家欺騙，免於公開和責任。一名與警察共謀並騷擾經驗豐富的記者的和平署署長應該戴上帽子走人。他聽從了騷擾挪威猶太人並將他們送到波蘭毒氣室的同一個法西斯警察的命令，這是為了尊嚴！

三十多年來，記者 Harald Dahle 已將司法部告上斯特拉斯堡的歐洲人權法院。這就是挪威的新聞自由。

        祖國祇有一個，

 台灣是其中的一部分。

西方的推理不理解中國古代的推理，揭示了對立文化的智力衝突。台灣島是中國領土的一部分，應當歸還。中華帝國必須得到尊重，戰爭不是一種選擇。



 移情，尊重，尊嚴

  我們必須與中華人民共和國建立對話和共同點。

   中國絕不能孤立。那會導致戰爭！



香港 中國的法律權利

親愛的朋友和讀者們。 治安是中國的基石。 祖國擁有在其自己的領土後院香港實施法律和秩序的合法權利。 無需徵得任何其他國家的許可。 在西方，這既不是很好理解也不是很受歡迎。 西方天真的從“民主”和“權利”的角度講是政治上的壓迫，是宣傳。 香港是祖國； 只有一個。 美國在製裁世界“每個其他”國家之前，應照顧好自己的人權和黑人公民問題。 祝你有美好的一天，乾杯

是時候思考了。

在貧瘠的土地上用花崗岩雕刻而成的紀念碑。

當人們談論生命時，應該問生命意味著什麼？整個生命或只是它的一部分？我們喜歡的部分和我們喜歡的部分，剩下的更不用說了？

和我一起走一英里卻說不感謝的人背著我的重擔再走一英里？那些從來沒有請過我喝茶的人，卻鄭重聲明我是“朋友”？那些真的很佩服自己的成就，卻連一次都沒有時間來看我的人？他們過著怎樣的生活？是部分還是整體？

我們這個時代的警告標誌。

我想被完整地看到；我不希望我的生活被有選擇地切割和扭曲成不存在的東西。我的文章是荒蕪的荒地上的石碑，沒有人文主義。它們旨在警告和鼓勵，但不應被忽視。

在當今虛榮的世界裡，越來越流行用手機說話，而不是同情和展示人的尊嚴；一個人習慣於欣賞媒體的炒作、政治謊言、缺乏責任感，導致大規模飢餓和大規模死亡。 ;在這樣一個人與人之間冷冰冰的世界裡，變態已經成為一種趨勢，而不幸的是，我們堅持了這一點。

在這樣一個人際交往的環境中，信息很清楚為什麼要尊重你面前的另一個人。胡言亂語容易多了，因為口語不再帶有任何義務，它是自由的，說這個或那個不值得。 . 看電影。

忽視在貧瘠土地上用花崗岩雕刻的紀念碑的人們重申了他們對死亡和破壞的信念。我們，作家和警告者，有人道主義權利這​​樣說。這是我們生活中的任務。不要善待死亡和破壞。但欽佩和鼓勵生活。我們對他人的期望與對自己的期望相同。如果“另一個”失敗了，我們必須獨自前進並發出警告。這是我們的宿命。

因此，當普京警告：“不要越過紅線”時，他警告我們要注意在貧瘠的土地上用花崗岩雕刻的紀念碑。是不是該停下來，傾聽和思考？

The Cobra Dane Phased Array Radar on Shemya Island

Shemya Island about 2,414 kilometers from Anchorage, Alaska, and is part of the Near Islands group at the tip of the Aleutian Island chain. Shemya Island occupies approximately 1,425 hectares and is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is operated by the U.S. Air Force. A person who worked there says,

"I did my overseas deployment on Shemya from January 1963 to January 1964. It was a very unusual place. It is the only place I have ever heard of where one can experience heavy fog, tremendous winds, and snow, sleet, or rain all at once. We once endured a storm where the wind speed was measured at 105 mph when the anemometer blew away."

He continues with his story,

"The work we did was fascinating. I would not have traded my experience there for anything, although I did not appreciate it nearly as much then as I do now. The Army, Air Force, and Navy people working on Shemya can be justifiably proud of what they contributed to our winning the Cold War."

Shemya Island has been developed by the military and continues to operate as an Intelligence Radar site whose principal purpose involves monitoring space and missile activities. The base is under control of the Eareckson Air Station Program Management Office, part of the 611th Air Support Group at Elmendorf Air Force Base Alalska. Eareckson Air Station is an isolated self contained military installation, and it has no surrounding communities.

Cobra Dane Phased Array Radar on Eareckson Air Station Shemya Island

Eareckson Air Station is a United States Air Force military airport located on the island of Shemya, in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands. Established in May of 1943 as a forward operating base for longrange bomber aircraft of the US Army Air Force to conduct bombing missions on Japanese positions in the Kurile Islands, the base was heavily utilized until war's end, with the present-day runway being added to the airfield to support the operations a planned squadron of B-29 Superfortresses flying missions ag-ainst mainland Japan as part of Operation Downfall. 

"From its establishment in early 2002 through the end of 2010, the Missile Defense Agency is fielding a Ballistic Missile Defense System consisting of 30 Ground-Based Interceptors for long-range homeland defense. Aegis warships capable of long-range surveillance and tracking and missile intercepts. Standard Missile-3 interceptors for Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships. Upgraded Cobra Dane radar in the Aleutian Islands."

Upgraded early warning radars, currently Beale Air Force Base, Calif., Fylingdales, U.K., and Thule, Greenland. 11 transportable X-band radars for operations and testing. Sea-based X-band radar now located in the Pacific Ocean to support flight testing and actual defensive operations. Integrated Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications element across the BMDS.

COBRA DANE

The certain principal use of this X-band radar, along with a second one for Eareckson Air Station on Shemya Island, some 2414Km southwest of Anchorage, will be to collect detailed intelligence data on Russia¹s long range ballistic missiles. This data will cover the entire trajectory of the missiles, and will be of primal value to a U.S. NMD system.

THE COBRA DANE PHASED ARRAY RADAR ON SHEMYA ISLAND

The 21st Operations Group was reactivated on 15 May 1992 as a component of the redesignated and reactivated 21st Space Wing, providing command management of Air Force Space Command's worldwide network of assigned missile warning, space surveillance, and communications units.

The 21st Operations Group assumed the Cobra Dane Radar mission at Eareckson Air Station, Shemya Island, Alaska, April 1. Eareckson AS is located on the western tip of Alaska's Aleutian islands. The radar has the ability to detect objects about 2,000 miles away, and provides data for the Space Surveillance Network and the Ballistic Missile Defense System. Cobra Dane will continue to be operated by a contract workforce, and no military personnel will be assigned to the unit at Eareckson Air Station.

Nuke -ooreenkoms tussen Noorweë en die VSA ontbind. Nuwe linkse regering beskou die gravitasiebom B61-12 as teenproduktief.

Die verkiesing in Noorweë in September het gelei tot 'n regerings-wisseling, met Jonas Gahr Støre van die Arbeidersparty as premier. Gahr Støre is bekend by die voorstanders van kernontwapening, omdat hy as minister van buitelandse sake van Noorweë die "humanitêre inisiatief" -proses ondersteun het wat gelei het tot die onderhandelinge van die TPNW.

Doktor Angela Merkel Chancellor of Germany

 Angela Merkel has said EU leaders should one day consider “a real, true European army” shortly after Donald Trump ramped up a Twitter attack on Emmanuel Macron over the same idea. Speaking to the European parliament in Strasbourg, the German chancellor backed the bold step in European defense policy, as part of a speech extolling the need for EU cooperation in migration, climate change and counter-terrorism. “The times when we could rely on others is past,” she said.

To a mix of applause and jeers from Eurosceptic MEPs, she said: “We have to look at the vision of one day creating a real, true European army.” The chancellor said the idea would complement NATO, but gave no details on when the ambitious idea could become reality. Her words echoed those of the French president, who in an interview said Europe needed to better defend itself.
