In view of the current situation, we would like to send you a special issue of magazine Current Concerns with fundamental contributions.

Among the articles in the special issue are the following:

1.  Power and World Order by Professor Dr Dr h.c. mult. Hans Köchler 

"It cannot be the irrevocable fate of the human species to sacrifice reason – which is given to the individual – on the altar of the collective action for the preservation and increase of power of sovereign states that see each other as foes (as threats to their existence)."

2. Who is the aggressor? NATO and Russia with a view to Germany and Ukraine by Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) Jochen Scholz, Berlin 

The propaganda in the German mainstream press about aggressive Russia is now adopted by many in German politics and society. At best, this shows complete cluelessness. This also applies to the question of why relations between Germany and the Russian Federation are now so desolate. It is therefore necessary to clarify what to make of the military threat to Ukraine posed by Russian troops, as claimed by NATO – just now again at its meeting in Riga – and as recently expressed by the German Lieutenant General (ret.) Brauss. Brauss was NATO's Assistant Secretary General for Defence Policy and Force Planning from 2013 to July 2018. Today, he is a "Senior Associate Fellow at DGAP (German Council on Foreign Relations), working in the fields of European security and defense, NATO development, and NATO-EU cooperation."
