• The Unthinkable: Possible Nuclear War with Russia!

  Lunatics running things in Washington make anything possible. Obama looks like Bush on steroids. Neocons infest his administration and Congress. Permanent war on humanity more than ever is official US policy.

  Ukraine is ground zero. Ongoing conflict risks the unthinkable – direct US confrontation with Russia risking nuclear war. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warned Ukraine’s conflict could “unavoidably lead to a nuclear war..”

  War on Donbass followed “immediately after visits to Kiev by US officials.” Washington’s intervention in Ukraine “and (its) ever-increasing campaign to surround and isolate Russia (risks) the hell of war break(ing) loose,” Clark warned.

  On February 11, former Reagan administration ambassador to Soviet Russia Jack Matlock spoke at the National Press Club. His topic: “The Mistakes We Made with Russia – and How to Stop Making Them.” Highlights from his address were as follows:

  –
  “…Ukraine cannot have a united and successful society unless it has a reasonable relationship with Russia.”
  –
  “(I)t is not in America’s best interest to intervene and risk another nuclear arms race.”
