Russia: UK and France want US/Russia nuclear conflict.
What strikes me about this article is not whether the claim is true or false, but how easily geopolitical conflicts are framed as moral dramas between nations rather than as struggles driven by competing state interests. Governments on all sides appeal to fear, especially nuclear fear, because fear unifies populations behind policies they would otherwise question.
Ordinary people in every country have little real control over these decisions, yet they are the ones expected to bear the risks — economic hardship, insecurity, and potentially catastrophic war. The language of national defense often hides the fact that states act primarily to preserve power, influence, and strategic advantage.
Instead of asking which side is more righteous, it may be more useful to ask why humanity still organizes itself into rival power blocs capable of destroying each other, and why democratic control over foreign policy and military escalation remains so limited. Until people begin to see their interests as shared across borders rather than divided by them, cycles of tension and propaganda will likely continue.Plan to transfer nuclear weaponry to Ukraine govt.
