The Outlook for the New Year<\/p>\n

Dear Readers: The conflict that Washington has initiated between the West and Russia\/China is reckless and irresponsible. Nuclear war could be the outcome. Indeed, Washington has been preparing for nuclear war since the George W. Bush regime.
\nWashington has revised US war doctrine in order to initiate conflict with a first strike nuclear attack.
\nWashington has discarded the ABM treaty in order to build and deploy anti-ballistic missiles that are intended to prevent a retaliatory strike against the US. Washington is engaged in a buildup of military forces on Russia\u2019s borders, and Washington is demonizing Russia\u2019s government with false charges.
\nAs the Bush\/Obama regimes dismantled the safeguards put in place in order to minimize the risk of nuclear war, no protests came from the American public or the media. Washington\u2019s European vassal states have also been silent.
\nWashington\u2019s drive for hegemony has brought nuclear insanity to the world.
\nMoscow and Beijing understand that they are Washington\u2019s targets. As Larchmonter explains, Russia and China are conjoining their economic and military capabilities in order to protect against Washington\u2019s attack. Read what Larchmonter reports. Open the URL in my column below and run your cursor over the bottom of the page and click \u201cpage fit.\u201d Choose 50% and readable text will fill your screen.
\nWashington\u2019s demonization of Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, and Assad were preludes to military attacks on Iraq, Libya, and Syria. In view of these precedents, it is reasonable to regard Washington\u2019s demonization of Vladimir Putin as a prelude to military action.
\nRussia is not Iraq, Libya, or Syria. Russian war doctrine states that Russia can use nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear or conventional attack on Russia. For the world to sit silent while Washington\u2019s arrogance provokes armageddon telegraphs total political failure. Where are the voices in behalf of humanity?
