NATO-EXIT: DISMANTLE NATO, CLOSE DOWN 800 US MILITARY BASES, PROSECUTE THE WAR CRIMINALS
Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
This text prepared in the context of the April 7 2019 Florence International Conference: No War, No NATO will centre on the key relationship between US-NATO military operations directed against targeted countries and the imposition of far-reaching neoliberal economic reforms both before and in the wake of US-NATO military interventions.
This article will also address the dangers and consequences of a Third World War as well the nature of advanced weapons systems deployed by the broader US-NATO coalition.
Extensive war crimes have been committed by NATO member states.
The object of the Florence Venue is NATO-EXIT. The Dismantling of NATO and the closure of US military bases.

While global warming makes the headlines, the dangers of nuclear war are barely mentioned. Why?
