American Liberal Left Succumbs to Anti-Russian Hysteria

by Rick Rozoff

American Liberal Left Succumbs to Anti-Russian Hysteria

Chicago | 2 September 2018
The funeral of Senator John McCain was an opportunity to demonstrate the unity of the US ruling class. In the presence of former Presidents Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr and Barack Obama, they turned into an anti-Trump rally, in the same detestation of Russia.

NATO’s Incremental Absorption of Ukraine

by Rick Rozoff

NATO's Incremental Absorption of Ukraine

Chicago | 26 April 2014
This historical review of the relations between NATO and Ukraine puts de facto into clear perspective one’s analytical look at the events in Kiev: since 1991 and its accession to the Atlantic Cooperation Council, Ukraine has concretely moved inexorably closer to the Alliance, without ever taking into account public opinion.

NATO’s Global Open Door Policy

NATO's Global Open Door Policy

Chicago | 5 July 2012
In the face of the inexorable spiraling down of Western predominance in the world, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen responds by charging on rather than retreating, in a typical flight forward attitude. Seeing, but preferring to ignore, that the world’s center of gravity is rapidly shifting from the West to the East, the Atlantic Alliance chief continues to dream of an even stronger and more ubiquitous NATO presence, straddling the entire planet, as diagnosed by Rick Rozoff in this article.

Norway: NATO Rehearses For War In The Arctic

Norway: NATO Rehearses For War In The Arctic

Chicago | 23 April 2012
To the world’s military leaders, the debate over climate change is long over. They are preparing for a new kind of Cold War in the Arctic, anticipating that rising temperatures there will open up a treasure trove of resources and long-dreamed-of sea-lanes. Rick Rozoff scrutinizes the feverish military activity taking place in the High North, under the official label of a joint Norwegian-NATO-Partnership for Peace endeavor, including preparedness drills against terrorist threats, mass demonstrations...and spies coming in from the cold!

Mali: U.S. Africa Command’s New War?

Mali: U.S. Africa Command's New War?

Chicago | 9 April 2012
President Obama’s statement on defense strategy announced a stronger U.S. presence in Asia-Pacific, while keeping Africa under the radar. Yet, recent developments clearly suggest that the Black Continent has become the new U.S. military playground of imperial conquest. It is now Mali’s turn to have plunged into turmoil. In this article, written in February 2012 when the latest "Tuareg rebellion" erupted in northern Mali, Rick Rozoff connects the dots between these events and Mali’s pivotal role in Washington’s strategy for Africa, conjecturing that, after Libya, the stage is possibly being set for another U.S. led intervention.

U.S. Prepares Georgia for New Wars in Caucasus and Iran

U.S. Prepares Georgia for New Wars in Caucasus and Iran

Chicago | 10 February 2012
Placed in power in 2003 by a US-backed regime change operation, Georgian President Saakashvili has enthusiastically pandered to Washington’s every whim ever since: From contributing a hefty troop contingent in Afghanistan, to opening up his country’s territory to accommodate US military designs in the region, essentially against Russia. This time, as Rick Rozoff details, Georgia’s soil will be used in a possible attack on Iran. In return, Saakashvili’s puppet masters have promised to secure him another electoral win.

Clinton Lectures Russia On Elections, NATO Chief On Missiles

11 December 2011
"U.S not in a position to criticize Russian elections," said NATO expert Rick Rozoff in an interview with Voice of Russia journalist John Robles, reproduced below. Most importantly, he highlighted that while US State Secretary Hillary Clinton is concerned about Russian democracy, Washington’s plans for building a ring of missile "defence" systems around Russia have been going full steam ahead, whether that country "likes it or not."

Libya: NATO Acquires Military Outpost In Third Continent

Libya: NATO Acquires Military Outpost In Third Continent

Chicago | 2 September 2011
Libya may be yet another country for NATO to take root in, suspects Rick Rozoff, who sees the repetition of an all-too-familiar modus operandi. First, NATO carpet bombs the whole country from top to bottom, then sets up military bases and finally doesn’t leave. In Kosovo, Camp Bondsteel is still going strong, and there are no signs that military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan will ever be left behind, despite persistent pledges of troop withdrawal.

Turkish Actions Designed To Trigger NATO Confrontation With Syria?

Turkish Actions Designed To Trigger NATO Confrontation With Syria?

Chicago | 21 June 2011
Betrayed by NATO after Israel’s high seas attack on the Mavi Marmara just over one year ago, Turkey may be on its way to becoming a military launch pad for the Alliance’s operations against its erstwhile ally, Syria. Rick Rozoff fleshes out Turkey’s sinister role in the US-led counter revolutionary charge in the Middle East.

NATO’s Afrika Korps Escalates War Of Attrition Against Libya

NATO's Afrika Korps Escalates War Of Attrition Against Libya

Chicago | 12 June 2011
In their war against Libya, the United States continues to amass record-breaking feats. It is their largest aggression in Africa and their most massive bombardment campaign since the Vietnam war.

Gulf State Gendarmes: West Backs Holy Alliance For Control Of Arab World And Persian Gulf

Gulf State Gendarmes: West Backs Holy Alliance For Control Of Arab World And Persian Gulf

Chicago | 27 May 2011
While Barack Obama and David Cameron vow to support the "Arab Springs", their armies are bombarding Libya. But they needn’t have any qualms about it; most of the dirty work has been farmed out to the Gulf Cooperation Council, a new Holy Alliance of Arab monarchies which stands against democracy, revolution and secularism.

U.S. and NATO allies initiate Libyan scenario for Syria

by Rick Rozoff

U.S. and NATO allies initiate Libyan scenario for Syria

Chicago | 2 May 2011
Replicating the blueprint for Libya, what is currently being played out in Syria according to Rick Rozoff is the fulfillment of the Bush administration’s six-year old project for "regime change". The specious pretexts have changed but not the U.S.’s determination to achieve its geopolitical goals in the region. Blocked in the Security Council this time, the West is bypassing the obstacle by resorting to “coalitional” expedients, the first of which is Obama’s recent executive order.

Libyan War And Control Of The Mediterranean

Libyan War And Control Of The Mediterranean

Chicago | 26 March 2011
Had Muammar Gaddafi become too pesky for the likes of Nicolas Sarkozy and his Atlanticist partners, by standing in the way of their agenda for the domination of the Mediterranean sea region? France’s direct role in nurturing the rebellion against the Libyan leader is no longer a secret. In this article, Rick Rozoff offers some additional pointers, and analyzes the Libyan war in the context of the advancing transformation of the Mediterranean into NATO’s mare nostrum.

Point Of No Return: U.S. And NATO Prepare For War With Libya

by Rick Rozoff

Point Of No Return: U.S. And NATO Prepare For War With Libya

Chicago | 9 March 2011
The talk of imposing a no-fly zone over Libya may sound like an incremental and moderate step. It is, in fact, alarmingly reminiscent of the path of action that culminated in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 and the 2003 attack on Iraq by the "coalition of the willing". In NATOland, solving problems by peaceful mediation rather than by force is not part of the culture. The military alliance is thus likely to be gearing up for yet another “humanitarian war”, this time against Libya.

Africa: Global NATO Seeks To Recruit 50 New Military Partners

Africa: Global NATO Seeks To Recruit 50 New Military Partners

Chicago | 21 February 2011
Under the banner of NATO and pretending to gear up against an unspecified security threat against Africa, the United States has expanded its presence to every corner of the continent, virtually turning it into a military campground. The only threat facing, not Africa, but the United States is Chinese influence and competition for the same resources. However, it may not prove easy to beat China at a game she already excels at ... without needing to deploy any hardware.
