Video: NATO fighter jets secure the sky over eastern Europe

NATO Allies have substantially increased the number of fighter jets on alert across eastern Europe….

Fighter jets from 12 NATO countries are flying from home bases, aircraft carriers and forward airfields to conduct air patrols over Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania around the clock. These fighter jets are actively monitoring the airspace over and adjacent to NATO Allies…

Reading this Manifesto by Chiara Bottici [1], at the end of 2021, was a breath of fresh air in the panorama of anarchist feminism which is lacking in ideas, let alone building a social movement, in this country.

I do not underestimate, far from it, all the efforts that are made to build a feminist proposal from anarchism, everything is useful and, especially, in these times.

However, we have to recognize how difficult and slow it is to start it: sometimes due to a lack of ideas, also because activism in other fields leaves little time for the creation of solid anarcho(a)feminist groups with continuity over time. and, finally, often because confrontations dominate the feminist and anarchist space and time and energy are wasted on them.

In addition to reading the Manifesto, I attended…

But it is calculated that there has been a catastrophic 2.4 million Iraqi deaths since the 2003 invasion.

The number of Iraqi casualties is not just a historical dispute, because the killing is still going on today. Since several major cities in Iraq and Syria fell to Islamic State in 2014, NATO has conducted the heaviest bombing campaign on any country since the US bombing of the Vietnam war, dropping 105,000 bombs and missiles and reducing most of Mosul and other contested Iraqi and Syrian cities to rubble.

An Iraqi Kurdish intelligence report estimated that at least 40,000 civilians were killed in the bombardment of Mosul alone, with…
