The first US Patriot missiles are operational outside the town of Gaziantep in Turkey, 43 kilometres from the Syrian border. Three NATO countries - the United States, Germany and the Netherlands - are involved in the operation.
This is one more example how US-NATO are now sticking themselves into every conflict on the globe as they attempt to justify an ever expanding military role for the capitalist-serving alliance.
The Global Network will be sending two of our board members (from the UK and Sweden) to Turkey for a peace conference at the end of April. Because these so-called "missile defense" systems are now being spread into this volatile region we think it important to support the peace workers there.
