The story of the F-35s that Switzerland has purchased based on secret criteria
A murky tender has crowned the US F-35 fighter jet as the winner, turning Switzerland from a neutral country into one dependent on exclusive US technology. And now there aren't enough funds to purchase the 36 aircraft agreed at a "fixed price".
This bulletin provides a comprehensive analysis of the world's major crises, but also reveals some signs of hope linked to enlightened institutional actors and, above all, to the role of civil society. However, that "nuclear conscience" that once characterized the pacifist has faded.
The Eleventh NPT Review Conference opens in New York on April 27, 2026, with 191 States Parties. The context is dramatic: the New START treaty between the US and Russia expired on February 5, 2026, without being renewed, leaving the arsenals of the two major nuclear powers without limits.

The proposal to suspend the EU-Israel agreement was launched by Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia over war crimes against the Palestinian population and in Lebanon. However, Italy and Germany vetoed the proposal.
Albert is a powerful reminder of Albert Einstein, who was not only the father of modern physics but also a tireless and influential advocate for nuclear disarmament. The bulletin seeks to connect the many groups around the world opposing war and rearmament.

This is a text to be sent to the Foreign Minister. Anyone can adapt and sign it. It is the Italian translation of a letter from the CND campaign for nuclear disarmament to the British Foreign Secretary. In our case, it should be sent to Minister Antonio Tajani.
The specter that Reagan and Gorbachev erased in the late 1980s is returning in a new form. In a few months, a step toward the abyss could be taken, with the deployment of Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles in Germany and the symmetric deployment of Russian Oreshnik missiles.
Restrictions on investments in companies implicated in human rights abuses or weapons production have been suspended. The suspension of ethics rules was approved on November 4, 2025, by the Labour-majority Parliament.

Il collettivo Autistici/Inventati sospende i servizi dopo le sanzioni statunitensi. PeaceLink aveva espresso solidarietà e denunciato l'uso politico delle liste antiterrorismo. "Ora mollate il pc, uscite, lottate, abbracciatevi e non perdete il sorriso, restare umani", è l'ultimo messaggio di A/I.
L'idea che una accresciuta domanda pubblica di acciaio basata sul riarmo possa portare l'ILVA a superare la fatidica soglia del punto di pareggio fra costi e ricavi è semplicemente un abbaglio matematico. Abbiamo fatto i calcoli e il risultato è semplicemente grottesco.
Ma non è libero. Ora sconterà in Australia i restanti tre anni della pena in libertà vigilata, con supervisione e condizioni. La sua storia è grottesca e paradossale: denunciò i crimini di guerra dei soldati delle forze speciali australiani in Afghanistan. E lo hanno messo in carcere.
