Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb<\/a><\/h3>\n

The longer the proxy war in Ukraine continues, the closer we come to a direct confrontation with Russia. Once that happens, the Dr. Strangeloves running the show will reach for the nukes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bombs Away – by Mr. Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I have covered enough wars to know that once you open that Pandora\u2019s box, the many evils that pour out are beyond anyone\u2019s control. War accelerates the whirlwind of industrial killing. The longer any war continues, the closer and closer each side comes to self-annihilation.\u00a0 Unless it is stopped, the proxy war between Russia and the U.S. in Ukraine all but guarantees direct confrontation with Russia and, with it, the very real possibility of nuclear war.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden, who doesn\u2019t always seem to be quite sure where he is or what he is supposed to be saying, is being propped up in the I-am-a-bigger-man-than-you contest with Vladimir Putin by a coterie of rabid warmongers who have orchestrated over 20 years of military fiascos. They are salivating at the prospect of taking on Russia, and then, if there is any habitation left on the globe, China. Trapped in the polarizing mindset of the Cold War \u2014 where any effort to de-escalate conflicts through diplomacy is\u00a0considered<\/a>\u00a0appeasement, a perfidious Munich moment \u2014 they smugly push the human species closer and closer toward obliteration. Unfortunately for us, one of these true believers is Secretary of State Antony Blinken.<\/p>\n

\u201cPutin is saying he is not bluffing. Well, he cannot afford bluffing, and it has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine and the European Union and the Member States, and the United States and NATO are not bluffing neither,\u201d EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell\u00a0warned<\/a>. \u201cAny nuclear attack against Ukraine will create an answer, not a nuclear answer but such a powerful answer from the military side that the Russian Army will be annihilated.\u201d<\/p>\n
