  The possibility of global war with nuclear weapons should focus all world leaders on preventing it at all costs.

  Mark Twain once said history doesn’t repeat. It rhymes – more dangerously today than ever.
  –
  US-instigated events ominously resemble things preceding both world wars – with super-weapons on hair triggers able to end life on earth, and bipartisan policymakers in Washington perhaps willing to use them recklessly.
  –
  Once in motion, things have a momentum of their own, heading toward what may be unstoppable. Washington’s grand strategy calls for replacing all independent governments with Western-controlled ones – mainly Russia and China, the main obstacles to achieving its hegemonic objectives.
  –
  Middle East tinderbox conditions rage, Washington determined to achieve regional control, waging one war of aggression after another, endless ones in multiple theaters , challenging Russia recklessly. Will World War III follow? Will the unthinkable become reality? Will nuclear war erupt for the first time ever?

  Nukes were used against Japan in August 1945 after Nazi Germany surrendered months earlier. and the war in the Pacific was won. Tokyo’s high command was negotiating surrender when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were gratuitously attacked – so Pentagon commanders could test the destructive power of their new weapons in real time, while showing off for Soviet Russia what Stalin already knew, close to developing his own atomic capability.
  –
  Ongoing events should scare everyone. Washington bears full responsibility. NATO and other partners share it. Ukraine remains the epicenter of a possible European war, Syria its Middle East flashpoint counterpart.
  –
  A US/Russian showdown may be building in plain sight. Putin is waging an effective war on ISIS and other terrorists in Syria – elements Washington supports, using them to achieve its imperial objectives, a policy heading recklessly toward a frightening showdown.

  The possibility of global war with nuclear weapons should focus all world leaders on preventing it at all costs. The threat of ending life on earth should be countered with all-out peace efforts. Everything comes down to a simple equation. Do we want to live in peace or perish in a mushroom-shaped cloud? There’s no in-between.
  –
  The risk of annihilation perhaps was never greater – given Washington’s rage for global dominance and its permanent war agenda. No nation ever threatened humanity’s survival more than now. Its madness is supported by all duopoly presidential aspirants, some openly advocating use of nuclear weapons, unchallenged by the media.

  Truman was the only world leader ever authorizing the use of nuclear weapons in combat. He later sacked Douglas MacArthur for wanting them used during Washington’s aggression on North Korea, along with urging a land war on China.
