Italy in arms: from the Baltic to Africa

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 27 January 2018
When Nato Member States use force to occupy foreign states, they are always ready with some excuse. It is “to support them”. Italy is not derogating from this rule. From the Baltics to Africa, the Italian presence is virtually felt throughout.

The truly explosive book? The one Trump signed

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 10 January 2018
Everyone is talking about the explosive book on Trump, packed with sensational revelations such as the following: how Donald sets his quiff; how he and his wife sleep in separate bedrooms; what those in the White House corridors whisper about him once his back is turned; what his eldest son did (he held a meeting a Russian lawyer at the Trump Tower in New York, betrayed his homeland and rigged the results of the presidential elections).
However hardly anyone is talking about a book the (...)

Italy-Israel: the Fighter-Jet Diplomacy

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 14 December 2017
European Leaders – from the EU’s foreign representative Mogherini to Premier Gentiloni, from President Macron to Chancellor Merkel – have formally stepped back from both the US and Israel on the status of Jerusalem. Is a rift between the allies emerging?
The facts would indicate quite the contrary. Just before Trump took his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, yet at a time when the dye had already been cast, Operation Blue Flag 2017 was executed. This is the biggest (...)

Pentagon’s colossal works are funded by us

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 14 December 2017
Colossal works are emerging on our territory both in Northern Italy and Southern Italy. Are we talking about those for which the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is responsible? Works that has every tongue wagging? Not at all! We’re talking about those thought up by the Pentagon that no one mentions. And yet most of these works are funded with our money and bring with them growing risks for us Italians:
At Ghedi’s military airport (Brescia): the plan kicks off to spend more than 60 (...)

Gentiloni “the African” Now conquering neo-colonies

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 14 December 2017
“I think it is very clear particularly to us Italians, that for historical and geographical reasons, Europe’s future is at stake in Africa”. So declared Paolo Gentiloni, President of the Council while on his African tour, from 24 to 29 November, travelling through Tunisia, Angola, Ghana and the Ivory Coast.
By making this statement, he unintentionally disclosed the truth to us: today Italy and Europe consider Africa to be crucial for the same “historical and geographical reasons” that arose in (...)

Nato’s PESCO rib is born

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 27 November 2017
The establishment of PESCO makes absolutely clear the plan for “a Europe for Defense”. In any event, PESCO has limited potential. Sure, a sovereign entity has come onto the scene, but it’s one that can’t compete with Nato, but can only complement it. In principle, the next stage should position this “Europe for Defense” so that France controls its nuclear force and Germany controls its conventional force. Any part of PESCO can only be harnessed if the Pentagon gives the order. And this green light will only come on when the US’s military objectives need to be sub-contracted.

The Myth of a Denuclearized Nato

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 20 November 2017
Ican, the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, is wrong to think that the Italian MPs of the government majority had been committed to convince their Nato partners to give up nuclear weapons. The fact of the matter is that the commitments the Nato member states make are purely formal: it is the atomic bombs that form the basis for their security.
“Nato has traditionally been flexible for the wishes of its members, and open to opt-outs from specific policy areas, such as nuclear (...)

The True Impact of the Italian Pentagon

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 4 November 2017
While the French armed forces are already set up in their new Pentagon, Italy is only now starting to construct its. Across the board, Nato member states are organizing themselves along the lines of the prototype laid out by their superior: the United States. This change in location corresponds to yet another evolution: a change in resources and objectives.

The US Bipartisan rearmament against Russia

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 18 October 2017
The United States reliving the same situation it found itself in 1995: the White House is trying to reduce military expenditure while Congress is trying to increase it. Once, Bill Clinton was a man of peace and the warmongers were the Republicans and some Democrats. Today, the tables have turned. Donald Trump is now the man of peace and those stirring up war are the Democrats with some Republicans.

Great Nuclear Manoeuvres in the Italian House.

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 4 October 2017
Nato has rejected nuclear disarmament and the Italian Parliament has effectively ratified this decision. The Italian Parliament did so by resorting to a fairy tale of a transatlantic alliance where each member has an equal say. This story-telling is divorced from reality as in 2011, Nato did not simply overreach the terms of a UN resolution when it attacked Libya to secure a regime change, it also violated its own statutes by failing to convene the North Atlantic Council to obtain the go-ahead. The conclusion has to be that the idea that this Council could pre-empt the Alliance transforming into an imperialist venture is a deceit known by all its members.

A Nato attack on Nuclear Disarmament

by Manlio Dinucci

Brussels (Belgium) | 26 September 2017
Not a single nuclear power has agreed to sign the new Treaty banning nuclear weapons. We all appreciate that unilateral disarmament would be a genuine concern for such states. However, Nato, which violates the NPT (the treaty aiming at containing the proliferation of nuclear arms) every day, has gone much further. Last week, it issued a declaration stating (para 7) that atomic bombs are a factor contributing to peace; and there is no way it would contemplate relinquishing these arms, if other states retained them. Furthermore, the wording of the final paragraph is a pre-emptive strike, aimed at destroying the potential of the new Treaty from slipping into the class of treaties that create norms for inter-state relations.

Venezuela’s Rebellion against the Petrodollar

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 20 September 2017
Washington’s decision to tie a noose round the neck of Venezuela’s economy (presented as sanctions for notional crimes) is effectively preventing Caracas from allowing its oil to flow to allies of the U.S.A.. The knock on effect: from now on, Venezuela will export its oil to China. By doing so, Venezuela’s contracts will no longer be established in dollars but the yuan. This will soon threaten the supremacy of the US currency and, clearly, the US economy. So now, “the party that thought it had the key to the prison door, is held hostage in the cell”.

Russia and China united against the dollar’s empire

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 September 2017
We are wrong to think that the armed conflicts occurring across the world are disconnected one from the other. The reality is that nearly all of them fall within a broader relationship between “the West’s American Empire” on the one hand and, the Brics, an organization of states seeking to establish a countervailing “alternative international order”, on the other. This power struggle is played out using two power bases that are closely connected: the military and finance.

North Korea in the Great Nuclear Game

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 5 September 2017
For Manlio Dinucci, the North Korean Crisis is preventing us from seeing the wood from the trees. To appreciate the true extent of the crisis, we must not be blinkered and focus only on the fact that Pyongyang has the atomic bomb. We must open our eyes to three other facts: 1/ the Great Powers have unbelievable stocks of nuclear weapons; 2/another 35 states are on the point of acquiring them; and 3/confronted by the US strategy, states that possess nuclear weapons are better able to fend for themselves than the parasitic states that do not, where widows and orphans will be bred.

The new Nato intelligence headquarter

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 5 September 2017
“The Hub for Nato’s strategic leadership for the South”! This is the delightful name of the gigantic intelligence centre that Nato has just erected. What exactly is the point of this centre? Nothing less than to co-ordinate each of the Pentagon’s covert actions. In this article, Mario Dinucci analyses its structure. He shows that to start with, this centre will cover all of Africa (apart from South Africa) and the entire territory (apart from Israel) that the enlarged Middle East now covers. While the Centre receives some of its funding from European states, its mind is controlled entirely by the United States.
