The Warfare in West Asia is anything but over, despite the proclamations of Western Media that "democracy" is now coming to Syria. Israel's strategic long-term position just changed dramatically and over-extending itself now while making new enemies will only create more trouble in the long-run. Dr. Glenn Diesen is a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and an associate editor at the Journal “Russia in Global Affairs”.

The West Involved in a Modern-Day Genocide
War is a horror that only politicians can sugarcoat. A man who has spent his entire life fighting against war and the suffering it causes is my guest today: war surgeon Flavio del Ponte. Dr. Flavio del Ponte has been active since 1986 as a trainer for war surgeons in various locations, including on behalf of the Red Cross and the WHO, as Chief Medical Officer for the UN mission in Africa, and as Medical Advisor to the UN Secretariat for Peacekeeping Operations in New York. From 1996 to 2009, he also worked as a physician for Swiss Humanitarian Aid, overseeing international dossiers on mine action and bioterrorism. Dr. del Ponte’s book is available here (in German): https://westendverlag.de/Dissonanzen/2210

NEW Book Reveals USA/NATO Crimes To Provoke War EVERYWHERE, From Ukraine To Iran | Scott Horton
😬 Alternative Media is Becoming Increasingly Threatened
There's a little-noticed battle going on in Switzerland about the country's century-old neutrality. On the one hand, globalist, neocon & neoliberal pro-NATO factions are trying to weaken the institution as much as possible, on the other hand, conservative (left- and right-wing) groups are trying to defend the foreign policy and strengthen it again. Since the country's political elites have already severely eroded Swiss neutrality by joining Western sanction regimes, the pro-neutralist groups launched an "initiative" (which, in the Swiss context, means holding a referendum on a constitutional amendment) to define neutrality in the Swiss constitution and ensure that sanctions are (mostly) forbidden. The initiative successfully gathered the necessary 100k signatures and will now become a mandatory referendum, probably in early 2026. In this talk, Pascal explains the state of the debate inside Switzerland. This was a talk presented in French at a conference in Lausanne on December 15, 2024, organized by the Swiss Communist Party: https://www.partitocomunista.ch/?p=7792 Original French Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZCsldD98Vk
