To the British, A Nuclear War Has Always Been “Thinkable.”

Sanctions, tariffs, and the unveiled threats of war from unhinged lunatics within the U.S. government and the financial institutions of Wall Street and the City of London are threatening the outbreak of nuclear conflagration.

Yesterday, President Trump issued an executive order establishing a 50% tariff against Brazil, under the false pretense of the Brazilian government’s “politically motivated persecution, intimidation, harassment, censorship, and prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro.” That also coincides with the announcement of the U.S. Treasury Department, which unleashed sanctions targeting the interests of Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, son of Ali Shamkhani, a former secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council who escaped assassination by Israel in June.

Meanwhile, there is President Trump’s foolish threat to Russia that in “10 days or else” the conflict in Ukraine must come to an end, otherwise a package of draconian sanctions, perhaps those authored by neocon Russophobe Lindsey Graham from Kentucky, will “collapse Russia’s economy.” That is magical thinking. They will do no such thing.

The important revelations coming from DNI Tulsi Gabbard as to the Russiagate hoax represent a break from “business-as-usual” in Washington, and should be supported, not only to bring justice to the treasonous actors within the Obama administration, but to highlight the true enemy of the United States now bringing the world to an unthinkable thermonuclear conflict with Russia and others. That is the British Empire, which in May of 1945, under instructions by the imperialist Prime Minister Winston Churchill, had instructed the drawing up of a plan for an immediate preemptive war against the Soviet Union, to begin in July 1945. This, despite the fact, that the Soviet Union, which lost 27 million people in the Second World War, had just collaborated with the United States and Great Britain to defeat Nazi Germany. This was done under the code name, “Operation Unthinkable.”

For the modern-day inheritors of Churchill’s imperial legacy, nuclear war is now, and has always been thinkable. Trump’s recent replacement of Martin Luther King with a bust of Churchill, is not a good sign. For the British, thermonuclear war seems even more worth the risk. It may be necessary in order to bail out the bankrupt trans-Atlantic financial system and its $2 quadrillion of derivatives assets by first, disintegrating Russia, and then looting it.

Next week will be the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, a completely unnecessary act of warfare which brought into motion the subsequent Cold War and tensions between the U.S. and Soviet Union. We must use that occasion to once again call for a new, security and development architecture, in which all nations have equal rights to sovereignty, economic development, and freedom.
