The Unraveling of American\/Russian Relations<\/a><\/h3>\n

Dear Readers: I agree that the official Las Vegas story seems to be unraveling. A public mass shooting should be transparent, not opaque. I think we explored the story long enough to discover that without knowing the facts, we cannot arrive at an explanation with confidence.<\/p>\n

It is time to move on to another unraveling\u2014that of US\/Russian relations. This unraveling is far more serious as it threatens life on earth. I have warned of the consequences of Washington threatening Russia\u2019s security by breaking agreement after agreement, by placing missile bases on Russia\u2019s borders, by orchestrating anti-Russian coups in former Soviet provinces, and by a continuing volley of false accusations against Russia. There is no act more reckless and irresponsible than to make one nuclear power fear nuclear attack from another.<\/p>\n

Alert observers have become aware of the mounting danger. Canadian professor Michel Chossudovsky writes that Washington has taken nuclear war from a hypothetical scenario to a real danger that threatens the future of humanity. https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/towards-a-world-war-iii-scenario-breaking-the-big-lie\/5348384 <\/a><\/p>\n

Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader who worked with President Ronald Reagan to end the Cold War and the threat of nuclear Armageddon, has appealed to President Trump and President Putin to hold a summit meeting and bring an end to the rising tensions. Gorbachev wrote in the Washington Post that \u201cit is far from normal that the presidents of major nuclear powers meet merely on the margins of international gatherings.\u201d This is especially the case as \u201crelations between the two nations are in a severe crisis.\u201d http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/48004.htm <\/a><\/p>\n

Gorbachev\u2019s warning could be an understatement. Last March, General Viktor Poznikhir, the deputy commander of the Russian military\u2019s Operation Command expressed concern that Washington could be preparing a surprise nuclear attack on Russia.
