Ukraine and the Myth of War SHARE
An article outlining why it is we continually return to the same place on the road to war and, more specifically, how it is NATO expansion played such a large role in precipitating this crisis.
Are we truly incapable of resolving these concerns without slaughtering each other? Is our intellect that limited, our patience that short, our humanity so curdled that we must repeatedly reach for the sword?

Canada Enlists in the U.S. Empire SHARE
Canada is playing a proxy role to American military forces across the globe by building small bases crucial to the projection of American military power (primarily for the support of corporate interests). Canadian officials are evasive about their base building agenda, concerned the public will not be supportive.

Bombs In Paradise: Missiles And Munitions Headed To Ewa Beach, Hawaii SHARE
The U.S. Army plans to build an enormous new weapons facility storing stockpiles of conventional warheads and explosives right beside residential communities in Hawaii and near the current Pearl Harbor weapons facilities, thereby raising the possibility of a chain reaction of deadly explosions from these sites known as "sympathetic explosions." The nearby residents would be in the "explosion arc" and express deep concern at such a plan. A detailed report from the military minimizes risks to the residents, as well as minimizing damage to the local environment. Hawaii is already one of the most militarized places on earth.

Demilitarizing The Mountains Of Montenegro SHARE
A small band of pastoral herders in the high mountains of Montenegro seem to have temporarily defeated plans by NATO and their own country's military to construct a military base and execute extensive military drills on their land. However, more work needs to be done, which is highlighted in the article. It is a story of excessive military overreach and the value of activist organization and non-violence.
