Translated “Avante!” article by Luís Carapinha, Member of the International Department

The Victory over the Nazi-fascism 71st celebration week, was chosen by NATO to activate the anti-missile system, installed in Romania, at the Devesel base, on the 12th. The following day, the analogue system first stone was launched in Poland, at 200 km from Kaliningrad, the Russian enclave. Both unities integrate a global anti-missile shield project developed by the USA, with the purpose of putting to root the Russian and Chinese dissuader nuclear capacity, that ought to allow imperialism to be able to carry out, with no impunity, a demolishing attack. The specific project exists, named Immediate Global Attack. Regarding the shield, the USA proceed their land and sea expansion, at an accelerated rhythm. Washington announced plans for South Korea, with the argument of the North Korea putative nuclear threat, as, in the same way, and regarding the European case, it carries on, shamelessly, to call upon Iran’s nuclear danger. Many tests took place concerning air level and the Pentagon plans its expansion throughout the cosmos – the USA refuses the Sino-Russian proposal on a treaty against space militarization.

The bellicose rage does not but concern the anti-missile shield. Along all the East front and the Russian Federation neighbourhood, one lives a state of growing military tumult. General Skaparoti, the NATO Europe new commandant-in- chief promises to proceed Breedlove, his predecessor’s rage, brandishing the Russian threat, in order to suggest the displacement towards the East , of another armoured brigade and the commitment of sophisticated armament unto the Kiev puppet nationalist, liberal – fascist regime. NATO ought to carry out military exercises within three former Soviet republics, Estonia, Georgia and Moldavia, May next. In the Black Sea, the presence of NATO non-riverside members’ war vessels, has become practically permanent. The Alliance contingent of fast intervention forces ought to increase up to 30 thousand soldiers. However, and as the bellicose delirium is running at full speed, general Hodges, the USA land commandant-in-chief for Europe, advocated a military Schengen, this Saturday, in order to overcome the barriers that slow down and impede the troops’ free movement. Being very serious, it ought to be a joke. when currently, the civil EU Schengen and the free peoples circulation are being abolished, under the fight against terrorism or amid Dante’s operations of refugees from imperialism wars, confinement in detentions and deportation centres.

If Russia is the geopolitical and inevitable “vital space” enigma, China is the major strategic adversary. In 2015, the two countries celebrated together the historical significance of the 1945 Victory.

A Pentagon report, released some days ago, insists in the Chinese military threat. The North-American presence is worsening the tensions in the already rough South China Sea. The White House prepared the transpacific agreement against Beijing, and proceeds with the EU secret TTIP negotiations. Obama, was once again haughtily explicit by stating the USA exceptionality, and decreeing that the USA ought to dictate the rules of world trade, at the beginning of the month. History proves to what hegemonic megalomania aspirations drove to in the imperialism era, in the midst of a capitalist structural crisis. In Moscow, the Soviet Union decisive role in the defeat of fascism, was remembered. In the year of the 75th anniversary of Hitler’s attack against the USSR, many million Russians celebrated the victory. Against the plans of the reactionary cavalcade, history remains alive.
