Who actually controls the policies and actions of the man who has his finger on the nuclear button, as the United States and the United Kingdom escalate two wars (Ukraine and Southwest Asia), either of which could lead to a nuclear confrontation with Russia and China?

June 28, 2024 (EIRNS)—In remarks to a June 26-27 meeting in Vienna, Austria of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Alexander Grushko questioned the gathered Western diplomats: “Is there an alternative to sliding toward a point of no return?

June 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—This evening’s CNN presidential debate showed the glaring reality staring us all in the face today: The needed change to today’s existential crisis is not going to come from the political leadership in either of the two leading parties in the United States. Choose one that is “better” if you want, but only so long as you’re willing to risk the potential extinction of mankind for your preferred political “flavor.” The reality is that only a new idea, which challenges the disastrously failing ideologies of today’s trans-Atlantic world, can stand a chance of pulling us back from the brink of a threatened global war.

June 25, 2024 (EIRNS)—Anyone paying attention to the string of events in and around Ukraine will see the dangerous escalation which it represents. Western countries, previously more restrained, have increasingly supplied heavier and longer-range weapons to Ukraine to fight—and kill—Russians. At each step of the way, Russia’s leaders have raised concerns, sounded alarm bells, and emphasized that Washington and others are crossing deep, dark, red lines in an overt war against their nation. However, at each step, these same Western countries have feigned indifference, and continued their escalations.
