In yesterday’s remarks to the International Peace Coalition, Helga
Zepp-LaRouche pointed to the fact that the world is “approaching what
you might call the final storm in the strategic situation fairly
soon.”
A major escalation towards the point of no return happened
throughout the course of that meeting, when U.S. President Donald
Trump had posted the following statement on his Truth Social: "Based
on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of
Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the
Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear
Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case
these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.
Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended
consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances."
At this point, there has been no official response from Moscow or
its press agencies. What is needed, now more than ever, is what Helga
Zepp-LaRouche has been putting forward as a new security and
development architecture, which takes into account the legitimate
interests of all nations, and is now the only basis for escaping the
suicidal pact of geopolitical warfare in a nuclear-armed world.
The basis for a new security and development framework has already
been put forward by the BRICS-plus nations, including Brazil, Russia,
India, China, and South Africa, which has offered initiatives which
would free the world from 500 years of colonialism. A Brazilian
journalist, Luis Erthal, on yesterday’s meeting of the International
Peace Coalition, had pointed to the fact that the BRICS is open to the
so-called West, and that he hopes, “for the day when the United States
joins the BRICS.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in an Aug. 1 article on the
50th anniversary of the Helsinki Act, pointed to the need for a new,
indivisible security system in Eurasia: “As a strategic objective,
Russia envisions forming a flexible and resilient architecture of
equal and indivisible security and cooperation in Eurasia, capable of
addressing contemporary challenges. The goal of ensuring indivisible
security proved unattainable in the OSCE, yet it can be fully realized
within a pan-Eurasian framework open to all continental
nations—embodying a new, polycentric world order.”
These remarks represent constructive solutions to the crisis, and
relate to the content of today’s discussion.
