Selling the best defence equipment to one of the world’s most important democracies. That’s how the British Prime Minister has defended his stop-off in Indonesia as part of his arms trade tour of Asia.

As the protests in Bahrain face violent brutal crackdowns western politicians and media remains silent raising scrutiny over their denouncement of similar violence in other regions.

There are few things as infuriating as the annual report by one of my favorite research organizations. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute released on March 19 its yearly global arms report, with data showing that arms transfers for the past four years have increased by a quarter over the 2002-2006 period. “Sales of [...]
Associate Defence Minister Julian Fantino, who is in charge of procurement, gave a similar message to the House of Commons defence committee last week, and went further by saying that Ottawa reserves the right to bail on the multibillion-dollar program.

It’s backers and bank-rollers have been exposed. . Even the Prime Minister of Uganda, Amama Mbabzi, has said Joseph Kony isn’t in Uganda and called KONY 2012 disingenuous.

Europeans should ask why they are to pay for an American-Israeli adventure in Iran during a time of unprecedented austerity, says political analyst Chris Bambery.

Weapons contractor Raytheon just announced that it hired retired General James Cartwright to its board of directors. It’s another example of the revolving door between the Pentagon and the war industry.

I’ve gotten to the point where I cringe whenever I hear the word ‘war’. Even when it’s used to seemingly combat something noble sounding such as the war on poverty or the war on hunger. It’s become apparent that all wars cause damage no matter if it’s a figurative war or an actual war. It’s [...]

For years Fox has been an Israel flag-waver at the heart of British government, a man with dangerous beliefs and demonstrably weak judgment.
