Πώς ο Τραμπ ανοίγει τον δρόμο στην Κίνα και τη Ρωσία

Μέρος 3ο - Η αποχώρηση από τη Συμφωνία του Παρισιού για το Κλίμα Τηρώντας ακόμη μία προεκλογική δέσμευση του, ο Τραμπ απέσυρε τις ΗΠΑ από τη Συμφωνία του Παρισιού για το Κλίμα τον Ιούνιο του 2017, κίνηση η οποία επίσης, δημιούργησε κενό όσον αφορά τον ρόλο της ως παγκόσμιας ηγέτιδας δύναμης. Το κενό αυτό έσπευσαν να καλύψουν τόσο ο Γάλλος πρόεδρος Εμανουέλ Μακρόν όσο και ο Κινέζος πρόεδρος Ξι Ζιπίνγκ. Τον Δεκέμβριο του 2017, στη δεύτερη επέτειο από την υπογραφή της Συμφωνίας για το Κλίμα στο Παρίσι και σε συνεργασία με τον ΟΗΕ και την Παγκόσμια Τράπεζα, ο Μακρόν διοργάνωσε τη Διεθνή Διάσκεψη Κορυφής για το Κλίμα «One Planet». Ο τίτλος της Συνόδου ήταν σκόπιμα στα αγγλικά, ως αναφορά στη φράση του «Make our planet great again» (Κάνε τον πλανήτη μας ξανά μεγάλο), με την οποία ο Γάλλος πρόεδρος αντέδρασε στην απόφαση του Αμερικανού Προέδρου Ντόναλντ Τραμπ να αποσύρει τις ΗΠΑ από τη Συμφωνία του Παρισιού για το Κλίμα. Στη Διάσκεψη Κορυφής στην οποία συμμετείχαν περισσότεροι απ

While Bush's neocons forced North Korea to restart its nuclear program, a second attempt for a nuclear agreement was destroyed by Obama

globinfo freexchange While Washington's hawks keep pushing for war in the Korean peninsula, the corporate media assist their effort through the ordinary propaganda, depicting North Korean leadership as, more or less, an evil regime. Very few things about the US destructive policies and actions in the region are known to the American public, like, for example, the fact that the US had put barriers to the unification of the two Korean states and had literally flattened North Korea in the Korean war. While Jimmy Carter tried to put the foundations for a nuclear agreement with North Korea, all the US administrations afterwards seem to be pushing for war, sabotaging every effort for a viable agreement that would remove nukes from the Korean peninsula. Tim Shorrock, journalist and expert on US-Korea relations, spoke to Abby Martin about the dirty US tactics against North Korea, especially when Bush's neocons - the ones who brought absolute chaos in the M

Germany seeks new spy satellites to get intel ‘independently from US’

Berlin has launched a new satellite program for its intelligence service (BND) in an attempt to escape US influence in spying matters, Die Zeit daily reports. The project has already proven to be costlier than planned. Germany plans to spend €400 million ($465 million) on two of the “latest-generation satellites” for its foreign intelligence service. The budget committee of the German parliament (Bundestag) already approved the financing of the costly project back in early November 2017. The two reconnaissance satellites, which are now being constructed by the Bremen-based aerospace company OHB, are expected to be able to identify and capture images of objects as small as an A4 paper sheet. They are scheduled to be launched into orbit in 2022, where they will be able to keep an eye on “any place on Earth” within 24 hours, according to a “top secret” intelligence document obtained by Die Zeit. The ambitious project is apparently aimed at making Berlin less

The US military will have more robots than humans by 2025

Armed with a budget of over $700 billion for the coming year – which will likely continue to grow over the course of Trump’s Pentagon-controlled presidency — the Pentagon’s dystopian vision for the future of the military is quickly becoming a question not of if but when. by Whitney Webb Part 1 While cyborg soldiers and fully automated weapons have long been fodder for futuristic sci-fi thrillers, they are now a reality and, if the Pentagon gets its way, will soon become the norm in the U.S. military. As Defense One reported last Thursday, the Army had just concluded a live-fire exercise using a remote-controlled ground combat vehicle complete with a fully automated machine gun. The demonstration marked the first time that the Army has used a ground robot providing fire in tandem with human troops in a military exercise and, as Defense One noted, “ it won’t be the last. ” Indeed, last week’s exercise represents just the latest step in the Pentagon’s relatively quiet
