">While all experts agree that the events in Venezuela are following the same model as those in Syria, some writers have contested the article by Thierry Meyssan which highlights their differences from the interpretation in the anti-imperialist camp. Here, our author responds. This is not a quarrel between specialists, but an important debate about the historic change we are experiencing since 11 September 2001, and which is influencing all our lives.

">In 2011 when his country was subject to a jihadist siege, President Bashar el-Assad’s reaction was against the norm: rather than strengthening the powers of his security services, he cut them back. Six years on, his country is in the process of emerging victorious, in the most important war since Vietnam. This same type of aggression is unfolding in Latin America. Yet here, it is sparking off a far more classic response. In this article, Thierry Meyssan distinguishes the analysis and strategy of President Assad on the one hand and Maduro and Morales on the other. His aim is not to place these leaders in competition, but rather to call upon each of them to remove themselves from political catechisms and to pay due attention to the lessons learnt from the most recent (...)

">On 11 August 2017, the U.S. President, Donald Trump put on the table the option of taking military action against Venezuela. As Manlio Dinucci substantiates in this article, President Trump was not plucking words out of the air. The Mobility Guardian drill has just taken place in the United States, with the armies of 25 states participating and another 12 states observing. This was a repeat exercise for a prompt transport of forces of an enlarged Nato to the conflict zone.

">Yes it’s a fact Jack: pure altruism motivates the United States to fund the deployment of its forces in Western Europe and Central Europe in order to protect Europe from a Russian invasion.
<br />However this imminent danger is invalidated by History: Russian troops have never invaded Europe whereas the reverse operation has unfortunately been undertaken: first, by Emperor Napolean the First and then by the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler.
<br />In actual fact, the exclusive aim of this exercise is to protect US soil. How so? By ejecting the potential theatre for confrontation from US soil and replanting it in Europe, potentially bearing fruit that might poison the people of Europe that the US is claiming to support.
