NUCLEAR INSANITY: THE LAST DAYS OF HUMAN DEPRAVITY? ~ LLAW

LLAW’s NUCLEAR NEWS & THE IMPACT ON TOMORROW
The entire free world seems to be terribly worried about the return of Donald Trump as the United States’ president — except the American voters (with probable Russian help) who miraculously and ignorantly returned him to the office despite the fact that he is a habitual liar, mentally ill, a convicted criminal, a political authoritarian, and just about every other condemning human characteristic one can think of. This international leeriness is all about his association with other nuclear armed countries and what he might, even unintentionally as unstable as he is, take an unimageable giant step into creating a nuclear war all by himself.
We have at least some of Trump’s nuclear war pronouncements on good authority from other leaders of other countries during his previous presidency who have said as much — that he will be a ‘first strike’ nuclear president in the event of an already looming threat of nuclear war. We are now in a political and military “can’t win” situation involving Ukraine, Britain, and the U.S., as well as NATO, and Russia along with their potential new ally North Korea. Putin has indicated that Russia may retaliate against Ukraine with nuclear weapons by Christmas (see the “Economic Times” article in the Nuclear War Threats category TODAY’S NUCLEAR WORLD’S NEWS, just below.
The threats of nuclear war is the most critical of all issues on planet Earth these days, and we are bringing the wrong president and his woefully inept and authoritarian administration that lack enough common sense, intellect, empathy, and the need for a a united human world of peace in order to survive as a species, yet both we and our allies are relying on a thing called “deterrence”, which invites nuclear armed countries to spend capital we don’t have to “make believe” our nuclear endowed neighbors wil be afraid of each other enough to avoid a nuclear holocaust while bankrupting our own and their countries, too. An awakened common sense tells us all that this “deterrence” thing cannot go on forever, and it’s obvious that we are already at the breaking point, and the breaking point means all it will take is for one of them, or us, to fire the first nuclear missile. ~llaw
How might Russia respond to UK and US letting Ukraine hit it with their missiles?
Moscow has rattled its nuclear sabres, but experts say an increase in hybrid, ‘grey zone’ warfare is more likely

How the Guardian is different
Moscow has threatened to retaliate for the decision taken by the US and the UK to allow their long-range missiles to be used in strikes inside Russian territory, and warned that nothing is off the table. Earlier this week, the Kremlin announced a formal change in its nuclear doctrine which specifically envisages a possible nuclear response to Nato-assisted strikes on Russian soil. So, how far is Vladimir Putin prepared to go?
How the Guardian will stand up to four more years of Donald Trump
We’ve just witnessed an extraordinary moment in the history of the United States. Throughout the tumultuous years of the first Trump presidency we never minimised or normalised the threat of his authoritarianism, and we treated his lies as a genuine danger to democracy, a threat that found its expression on 6 January 2021.
With Trump months away from taking office again – with dramatic implications for Ukraine and the Middle East, US democracy, reproductive rights, inequality and our collective environmental future – it’s time for us to redouble our efforts to hold the president-elect and those who surround him to account.
It’s going to be an enormous challenge. And we need your help.
Trump is a direct threat to the freedom of the press. He has, for years, stirred up hatred against reporters, calling them an “enemy of the people”. He has referred to legitimate journalism as “fake news” and joked about members of the media being shot. Project 2025, the blueprint for a second Trump presidency, includes plans to make it easier to seize journalists’ emails and phone records.
We will stand up to these threats, but it will take brave, well-funded independent journalism. It will take reporting that can’t be leaned upon by a billionaire owner terrified of retribution from the White House.
If you can, please consider supporting us just once, or better yet, support us every month with a little more. Thank you.
