Is NATO in Danger?


 'NATO in grave danger after Iran war,' former US NATO ambassador. 


US President Trump's frequent threats to leave NATO, as well as the US army's heavy use of expensive, military assets in Iran, has weakened the alliance, former US ambassador to NATO. 

Former US ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder, said repeated threats by U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from NATO, as well as confrontations with America's European allies over their refusal to join the war, have created the ‘worst crisis’ NATO has ever faced.


“The last six weeks have been extraordinarily damaging to NATO,” Daalder. 


“We see a divided NATO, which has been the goal of first the Soviet Union and then Russia for the better part of 80 years,” he said.


Daalder said Trump’s statements suggesting the U.S. might not defend NATO allies against future military aggression by Russia or other adversaries, which have destabilised the alliance and shaken the global order.


He added that the six‑week war against Iran has depleted U.S. military resources by burning through large stocks of interceptors and other missiles in the bombing campaign.



“A NATO that is truly at loggerheads, a NATO in which the president of the United States says, ‘I'm not going to defend you’, it is a good time to test NATO if you are sitting in Moscow,” he said.


“It’s also a good time to test what you could get away with in Taiwan if you're sitting in Beijing, because much of the US military capability has been moved to the Gulf,” he warned.


Daalder, who served as U.S. ambassador under former President Obama from 2009 - 2013 said described the US/Iran war as a “strategic blunder of historic proportion.”


“Much of US military capabilities has been expended on this war, which turned out to be a strategic blunder of historic proportion,” he said.


His comments come as NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte is in Washington D.C. for a series of discussions including with Trump, and Secretary of State Rubio, as well as Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth. Rutte is expected to try to salve some of the hostility which has emerged between the US and its allies in Europe.

Secret Uranium site near Kyiv hit by Russian Missile

 A Russian missile has destroyed a depot of depleted uranium near Kyiv! Uranium depot near Kyiv  The Russian armed forces have struck an ammunition depot on the outskirts of Kyiv, in Vishnevoe, where sub-calibre rounds with a depleted uranium-238 core and cluster bombs were stored.  Due to the threat of radioactive contamination, an emergency evacuation of residents in the area has begun, and the entire incident site has been completely cordoned off by the Ukrainian secret services. In other news regarding Ukraine:  Ukraine finally releases geolocations of soldiers in Konstantinvka - but the damage from Russia's claimed capture is already done: Unlike at Pokrovsk, there is no indication yet of a coordinated counterattack to reclaim parts of the city altogether. Furthermore, simply publishing geolocated videos of Ukrainian servicemen at all amounts to an admission that the Russian territorial claims have gained Western credulity which Kyiv must counteract. Another key...

The West Fears A Strong United Iran.

 Why Do Millions Unite at Iran’s Supreme Leader Funeral... And Why Does the West Panic? Millions of Iranians attend the Funeral of The Great Ayatollah Ali Khamenei    Look at the huge crowds in Tehran right now. Millions of people marching together, showing real unity after their leader’s death. Is this just a funeral?  No. This is Iran proving it is a real civilisation-state.  Deep history, strong faith, tight families, and national pride. These things hold them together no matter what the outside world throws at them. Why does the West fear this so much?  Because Iran is a living rejection of their globalist plan.  They want to destroy everything solid: open borders that erase countries, broken families, mocked religion, weak nation-states, and confused ideas about gender and truth.  They push this everywhere to control people more easily. But Iran says no.  They hit Iran with attacks and sanctions, yet the people stay united and strong....

Where have all the Flowers gone?

As the songs goes; where have all the flowers gone? Well we may be asking that in the near future.   One-third of Ireland’s 99 wild bee and butterfly species are currently threatened with extinction. Driven by human-altered landscapes and intensive land use, this crisis threatens native food production and natural ecosystems. Saving these essential pollinators requires restoring vital habitats across farms, gardens, and public spaces. [ According to the Heritage Council ].    The Root Causes:  The primary driver behind the decline of Ireland's bees and butterflies is habitat loss and starvation. As the landscape has become increasingly urbanized and modernized, insects simply do not have enough flowers to feed on or safe places to nest.  Key factors include: Agricultural Intensification:  The shift toward larger, chemical-reliant fields, the drainage of wet areas, and the removal of traditional, flower-rich hedgerows have decimated natural habitats. Th...
