    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.

    Wonder if the workers building it ever think, “We’re building it so the extremely rich can nestle down here while we and our loved ones burn.” Not likely. They are more likely to be happy with having a job.

    Will Starmer need permission from Trump to drop the nuclear bombs from the American planes he is splashing out on?

    I don’t think the warmongers need permission any more for anything. They are all acting independently. They can ignore both Washington and even NATO.

    So the UK is talking about increasing offence spending to 3% of GDP by 2034. I thought we were told “war with Russia by 2030”? In which case, there won’t be a 2034!

    Trump to consider ending restrictions on support for Kiev and considering more sanctions on Russia.
    Meanwhile, Russian media head says Berlin could be a target if Taurus used.

    So, whereas under Biden, European states had to await permission from the US before using longer-range missiles, under Trump they are making these decisions themselves?

    So Trump is weak, or he has secretly authorised Merz to send Taurus to Ukraine?

    Trump appears to have no power over NATO or Europe, and it’s now a military free for all. He either has no wish to reach a deal on Ukraine, or he is powerless to rein Europe in, and the US is not in charge any more.
