US prepares for nuclear war at foreign bases

By John LaForge

On October 16, 2023, during the NATO-supplied, nuclear-armed hot war in Ukraine, the alliance began its annual nuclea">r attack rehearsal dubbed “Steadfast Noon.” This practice involves air forces from 13 countries, the “exercising” of fighter jets and U.S. B-52s, lasted until October 26, and roared over Italy, Croatia and the eastern Mediterranean — not far from two aircraft carrier battle groups charging toward the war over the Gaza Strip prison break.

A hundred people joined an October 14 protest outside Germany’s Nörvenich Air Base calling for cancellation of the rehearsal, to no avail.

NATO’s nuclear capability is to preserve peace, prevent coercion and deter aggression.”
