In a statement which showed a potential for positive change, yet
also reflected the danger of the current situation, Director of
National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard spoke about her recent trip to
Hiroshima, the site of the first nuclear weapon attack, where she
learned about the horror inflicted on civilians and the immense power
of today’s nuclear weapons compared to the ones used in Japan.
“As we stand here today,” she said, “closer to the brink of nuclear
annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers are
carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.”
“We must reject that path to nuclear war, and work toward a world
where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.”
The recognition of a leading U.S. government figure of the horror
unleashed on Hiroshima, an attack which was not only militarily
unnecessary but also barbaric in its nature, is important. There is
also a clear fight within the Trump Administration between neocons
allied to the British outlook of geopolitical warfare for the purpose
of maintaining control over nations, and the more rational,
peace-oriented advisors who are defending Trump’s position on Russia,
and urging against any preemptive attack on Iran.
The June 1st attack by Ukrainian forces on Russian airfields
could’ve brought us to the point of no return, yet Trump claimed that
he wasn’t informed of the attack beforehand. It’s up to us, as Gabbard
said in her video statement, to speak up and demand an end to the
madness, by informing the citizenry of the war danger and the British
madness behind it.
Meanwhile, while tensions continue between the United States and
Iran, Russia has intervened and offered to handle Iran’s nuclear
materials, while Trump insists on his policy of zero uranium
enrichment. Russia and Iran have also signed an agreement for Russia
to construct eight nuclear power plants in Iran.
The alternative to the British Empire’s imperial lunacy and
determination to pit the United States in a global conflict with
Russia, China, and Iran, is based on a policy of cooperation between
the United States and Europe with the BRICS+ nations, Shanghai
Cooperation Organization, Eurasian Economic Union, and other
multilateral organizations, in pursuit of economic development and
world-wide projects which can end poverty, disease, and other
challenges.
Joining us today to discuss recent strategic developments and the
solutions will be Mike Billington, long-time LaRouche associate,
former political prisoner, and EIR writer.
