Jan. 13, 2025 (EIRNS)—In today’s era of nuclear weapons, the hot zones of confrontation—in Ukraine, in Southwest Asia—constitute an unprecedented danger for all humankind. Yet at the same time, this is “an historic opportunity to intervene” to shape events that can lead a course out of the danger, into an unprecedented era of development. This was the evaluation reiterated today by Schiller Institute founder and leader Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who elaborated on the reasons favorable to success, if we intervene. She referred to the fact that the old system of geopolitics and monetarism is dying, and the persisting attempts of the U.S., U.K. and Collective West to impose their will to try to continue unilateral domination will fail.
