This Christmas Act, As Well As Pray, For Peace

Speaker: Steve Starr
Time: 9:00 PM EDT
At his year-end press conference today, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked about some Western military experts saying that missile defense systems can easily shoot down the Oreshnik. He said: “Well, if those Western experts you mentioned believe that, they should suggest to their employers in the West and the US to conduct a technological experiment. For instance, a high-tech duel of the 21st century. Let them identify a target in Kiev, concentrate all their air defense and missile defense systems there, and then we will strike it with an Oreshnik. Let’s see what happens. We are ready for such an experiment. Is the other side ready?”
Diplomacy between the United States and Russia is nearly dead. Never, including during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, has the circumstance been what the world confronts at this moment. It has now reached the point, that the President of Russia, the nation with the most powerful nuclear weapons force in the world, thinks that his only option to speak to NATO counterparts in the West in “in their own language.”

Tonight, guest Steve Starr, nuclear weapons expert and director of the University of Missouri’s Clinical Laboratory Science Program, will discuss not only these lethal weapons technologies, and recent developments in their nature, deployment, and use, but the politics of the irrational that have gripped trans-Atlantic policy-makers fully willing to lead the world to disaster, rather than face their loss of “global primacy.” TLO’s mobilization to distribute the statement” STRATCOM Adm. Buchanan Spills the Beans—U.S. Preparing for War,”will also be discussed.
