News in Brief

Scottish CND have condemned a massive NATO exercise which took place mainly in Scotland from 8 – 20 May.

‘Strike Warrior’ involved more than 30 warships, three submarines and 150 aircraft from 11 nations.

It was a final test for the UK’s carrier strike group before it set off on what Scottish CND called a ‘bizarre role in a Cold War style patrol of the South China Sea’.

Scottish CND, which has moved to permanent home working, said that this ‘aggressive behaviour’ was ‘utterly infantile and irresponsible in the midst of a pandemic and a climate crisis’.
