    They are monopolising anti-Starmer and anti-war (while they’re not yet in power) sentiment, but then mouthing off against poor immigrants. I cannot count the number of times I open a Youtube video of someone opposed to militarisation, only to discover, less than two minutes in, that they start blaming immigration. Definitely National rather than “Socialist”!

    Surely Washington can veto NATO decisions? It isn’t doing so, so what the UK, France and Germany are doing obviously has US approval.

    Do we know why the German capitalist class needs war with Russia?

    NATO chiefs and national members must be hoping Russia will retaliate on NATO countries, so they can have their wider war, with the US coming in too.

    It is believed Trump will in fact authorise the use of Taurus, which Merz is in Washington to beg for.

    Apparently Antifa tried to disrupt and block an anti-war protest in Bavaria.

    FLAG, n. A colored rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London—”Rubbish may be shot here.”

    I believe the US also took Japanese veterans of Unit 731 to Korea with them, to use their “expertise” in spreading fatal diseases.

    Of course, we as Socialists will refuse to have anything to do with this military circus.

    In the early 1980s I seem to remember Reagan’s govt supposedly contemplating the “possibility” of a “limited” nuclear war on the European continent. Maybe I am misremembering. Anyway, rumors ceased and any such notion was binned following consultations with leading scientists whom I believe included Carl Sagan.

    However, now, in 2025, the blasé talk of “being prepared” to use these weapons ignores science and the destruction of the only world humans have, and even the extinction of all life upon it is seemingly acceptable for consideration.

    Thus does capitalism condone mass psychopathy in its “service” and so degrade humanity that the mass suicide of the species becomes thinkable.

    I would urge the blasé to read the details of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki tragedies, to read THE POSTMAN OF NAGASAKI, CITADEL IN SPRING and other first-hand accounts, and see the film I LIVE IN FEAR. Lastly to read Carl Sagan on the effects of nuclear annihilation.
