We warmly invite you to join the first Peace Action zoom conference held by the No to War No to NATO Network on September 30 from 19:00 until 21.00 CEST in preparation for the peace actions against the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington. Below you can find more information about the topics for discussion & the program.
Current challenges:
– Intensification of the Alliance’s self-promotion as a war deterrent and confrontational institution.
– Continuation of the policy of confrontation with Russia, especially through active support for Ukraine, and
– Strengthening of the bloc formation with China, among other things, through the expansion and consolidation of “Global NATO” by gaining new partners
– Unrestrained further armament & realization of the 2% goal
– Role of nuclear weapons in Europe, possibly completion of “modernization” of deployment of new U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe
– Intense discussion of NATO role (and expansion) in the Balkans.
– Establishment of a 6th domain (besides Land, Sea, Air, Space, Cyber) the Cognitive Warfare, using soft power on human thoughts
