SAVING THE PLANET

EDITORS—Students with the youth-led Sunrise Movement walked out of over 30 high schools and universities across the United States on Friday to stand against U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s “extreme agenda” and promote “the fight for climate justice, workers’ rights, and democracy.”

The protesters carried signs and banners with messages including “This Is a Climate Emergency,” “Protect Our Futures,” “People Not Profit,” “Fuck Trump,” “Together We Rise,” and “The Dems Failed, The People Won’t.”

RET. ADM. CEM GURDENIZ—The US and its allies continue to pay the price of the rapid downsizing at sea and in the region after the Cold War. They are falling behind in both the number of icebreakers and the number of troops ready for war in winter conditions.

In addition, Russia has advantages in the field of submarine warfare and hypersonic anti-ship missiles. However, despite its limited naval power, the US challenges Russia’s geographical superiority in these critical waterways through its allies. As the only NATO country with a permanent military headquarters north of the Arctic Circle (66°33’N latitude), Norway gives its most important security and defense priority to the protection of US interests in this region due to the newly developing Arctic geopolitics. NATO also uses Norway’s situation as a battering ram against Russia, putting it forward for the interests of the US in this region. Norway, one of the calmest, richest and most prosperous countries in the world, has now joined the group of risky countries that have to maintain high military vigilance and readiness at all times.

S.L. KANTHAN—Climate change dogma is more rigid and irrational than the ideology of religious fundamentalists. While the alarmist Western mainstream media plays a huge role in spreading climate hysteria, a surprising chart from Washington Post is helpful in debunking many of the core assertions of climate “science.” >< So, why did the globalists decide to spread the climate change propaganda? It’s probably a tool to hamper the growth of developing nations and to control the world’s population. Note that these psychopaths never worry about greenhouse gas effect when they wage perpetual wars! And they never worry about the environment when they push Russia to the edge of a nuclear war; or when they openly plan for war with China in 2027.

OLIVER BOYD-GARRETT—The scale of Israel’s attack on Hezbollah has been grossly exaggerated for propaganda purposes.

The most important conclusions that we should draw:

(1) we have resumed a war of attrition and calibrated escalation;

(2) that Hezbollah, Iran and the Houthis will separately deal with their own “accounts,”

(3) that Iran knows that the very last thing it should give Netanyahu is a full-scale war. This is what Netanyahu most needs so that he can:

(a) draw in the US to a conflict that Israel is too weak and divided to achieve on its own;

(b) so that he can use the fog of war to camouflage the continuing liquidation of the Palestine people in Gaza and the West Bank;

W. SCHRYVER—I shall return yet again to the prospect of “Made in the USA” F-16s sallying forth boldly into eastern Ukraine to “teach the cabbage heads what Airpower (capitalized) really means.”

From what information I’ve been able to glean in recent weeks, it does in fact look as though the US is aggressively setting up air ops housekeeping in Romania, very near the Black Sea coast — ostensibly to serve as the base of F-16 operations against Russia.
