Setting the Scene for Global Destruction. Now It\u2019s the Arctic<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The U.S. is preparing for war in the Arctic, and the \u201cboiling point\u201d might not be far away, Brian Cloughley writes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On April 8 the front pages of the main U.S. newspapers noted that<\/a> President Biden was \u201copen to compromise\u201d and a quick glance prompted optimism that Uncle Joe might be seeing some sense about international developments. He said that \u201cDebate is welcome. Compromise is inevitable. Changes are certain,\u201d which is a deep and important statement that would be immensely heartening if it referred to U.S. relations with China and Russia.<\/p>\n

Alas, his words referred to purely domestic affairs, in that the White House was preparing to compromise with the blinkered Republican Party which is intent on defending business interests \u2014 and especially those concerned with weapons\u2019 production \u2014 at the expense of the average citizen. Joe declared that he is \u201csick and tired of ordinary people being fleeced,\u201d which is an understandable point of view. But the way he\u2019s heading in foreign policy means that these ordinary people, and everyone else in the U.S. and all round the world, may well be conned, and possibly terminally. They are facing ever-increasing danger of being destroyed, because Joe is backing the sabre-brandishers in their encouragement of confrontation and provocation that could well lead to major war.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake : there is going to be no such thing as \u201climited\u201d war if the U.S.-Nato military alliance continues to goad and antagonise Russia and China. If there is a clash of military forces there will be escalation, and the ensuing conflict will inevitably heighten the risk of nuclear exchanges which would destroy the planet.<\/p>\n
