  UKRAINE: PRESS DISINFORMATION Editorialists in the press, particularly Spanish ones, have not stopped ringing the alarm bells, affirming that the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops is only a matter of days or weeks, endorsing the apocalyptic forecasts of the president, Joe Biden. . The keyboards of the computers of these characters continue to give rise to the invasion, ensuring that the Russian tanks are already on the border line and are preparing to violate it as soon as Putin gives the order. It is useless for Moscow to say that it has no intention of violating the border, or for Putin himself to have told the French president, Emanuel Macron, that Russia will not start the war. Not a single one of those editorialists stops to take into account the expansionist plans of NATO, its desire to enter new allies and its open intention to serve point by point the no less expansionist strategy of the United States. When the Soviet Union continued to exist, NATO resigned itself to ...

  THE EXPANSIONISM OF NATO NATO was not born with the aim of expanding its territory and therefore constituting a political-military alliance in a constant process of growth. NATO emerged to confront the communist countries that formed the Warsaw Pact, this one of marked military origin, within the framework of the difficult years of the cold war. When the Warsaw Pact was dissolved in July 1991, many politicians on both sides of the Iron Curtain called for the dissolution of NATO, considering that it was no longer necessary to maintain it. But those who adopted that position, believing that in this way an intensive process of European pacification "from the Atlantic to the Urals" would be launched, according to the prescient phrase of General Charles de Gaulle, were naive. NATO not only did not dissolve but began to promote its expansionism; work facilitated by the fall of the Soviet Union. five months alone from the end of the Warsaw pact. It must be admitted, however, that ...

  MOROCCO CANNOT FORCE SPAIN TO CHANGE ITS POSITION Once again, the Alawite kingdom has pressured Spain so that, instead of respecting international legality, it violates United Nations resolutions and betrays its own history by ceding Western Sahara to Morocco. It is a question of history and principles. Western Sahara is a non-autonomous territory registered with the United Nations decolonization commission, which supports the holding of a self-determination referendum, which Morocco opposes, claiming that "it would no longer serve any purpose". Rabat wants Spain to side with it, which would mean betraying the Saharawi people and its legitimate representative, the Polisario front, and opening a crisis with incalculable consequences with Algeria. That Spain wants the best relations with a neighbor cannot pass through the betrayal of its own interests. Morocco has already used blackmail several times; remember the illegal entry into Ceuta of thousands of young people as a mea...

                                                                     MOROCCO-ISRAEL: THE BETRAYAL Under unprecedented pressure from former President Donald Trump, some Arab countries have established relations with Israel, turning their backs on the Arab peace plan presented in March 2007 by Saudi Arabia, and supported by 21 of the 22 members of the Arab League, the which indicated that Israel should withdraw from all the territories occupied in 1967, the establishment of a Palestinian state with its capital in the eastern part of Jerusalem; And once this was accomplished, the Arab countries considered the conflict with Israel over, then normalizing their relations, Israel has not taken any of these steps, so the Arab countries that have now recognized Israel have committed a betrayal of the main cause of the Arab ...

  response to an email received from President Joe Biden I thank the White House for its response to my message on the situation in Afghanistan. I generally share your views. I totally agree with the president, Joe Biden, that this war had to be ended to prevent more American soldiers from dying. But there has been an error of assessment: General Milley affirmed that the Afghan forces had the capacity to confront the Taliban, when it was seen that these forces were not combative and were fleeing, abandoning weapons and supplies. The intelligence services did not delve into the study of the combat capacity of government forces, which was ZERO. That said, it would be another mistake to consider that normal relations can be maintained with the Taliban. The Taliban remains a terrorist group with proven ties to ISIS and Al Qaeda, although it denies it. Now in power, he continues to violate human rights, particularly those of women.  I want to take this opportunity to present my bes...

                                                           MOROCCO-ISRAEL: THE SHAME Morocco has become the first Arab country to sign a military and security cooperation agreement with Israel. It goes without saying that this agreement is a shame for the Kingdom, thus abandoning the cause of the Palestinians, which has always been and continues to be the leading cause of the Arab countries. In their eagerness to combat the influence of Algeria in the Maghreb region, and above all in their illusory desire for the “Moroccanness” of Western Sahara to be recognized, Mohamed VI and the Makhzen have embarked on a disgusting relationship with the Zionist entity. , which continues to violate international law in the occupied territories, expanding their settlements and developing a violence that the world condemns. For the head of Algerian diplom...

                            WESTERN SAHARA: RIYADH'S SERIOUS MISTAKE Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UN made unprecedented and serious remarks on Thursday (October 21st) on the issue of Western Sahara. Comments that an Algerian source described as "inadmissible". The kingdom has always supported Morocco on the issue, but Abdallah Y. Al-Mouallimi for the first time made a speech that expresses total alignment with Moroccan theses, going so far as to praise Moroccan "achievements" in the occupied territories and refuse any attack on the “territorial integrity” of Morocco. Not only did he express Saudi Arabia's satisfaction with “the participation of elected representatives” of the occupied Sahrawi territories, which he designated by “Moroccan Sahara” in the sessions of the C24 (committee on decolonization), he endorses Moroccan demands to involve Algeria directly in negotiations with the Polisario Front. The one commit...
