Just What Are They On?

The Royal Navy’s most potent nuclear submarine is today lurking off the Russian Coast. Stationed 3,000km from the UK it is armed with 16 Trident II D5 ballistic missiles each carrying 8 nuclear warheads. Each missile’s range is 12,000km and, with their deadly warheads, travel at 21,000kmh.

Earlier this week, British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon threatened to use nuclear weapons pre-emptively. This privately educated idiot never held a proper job, ran a business and never wore anything but a school uniform. Yet, without feeling it necessary to give reason or consult the people, he absurdly threatens the annihilation of the world’s second most powerful nuclear-armed superpower.

British red top tabloid media, described as the keyboard government play on, is full of let’s incinerate the Russian Federation and teach Putin a lesson bombast. He did something wrong? Typically the Daily Mail gloated at a Royal Navy warship currently cruising in the Black Sea off Russia’s coast. “So how do you like it, Vlad?”

This newspaper recently confused Latvia on the Baltic Sea with landlocked Mordovia 1,500km distant. Seriously, just what illegal substances are government officials and tabloid editors on?

Déjà vu: Here we go again: British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain on August 16, 1939:

History will judge the Press generally to have been the principle cause of war.”

Like the other 220 nations, Russia doesn’t threaten the UK or its interests. However, this much provoked state has the means and the will to turn the UK into a glass-strewn parking lot if it feels threatened. Russian parliamentarian Frants Klintsevich doesn’t mince his words.

Britain’s threat deserves a tough answer.”

The First Deputy of the Russian Defence Committee goes on to say;

Russia cannot conquer Europe or the US through invasion or occupation. It is absolutely evident and thus pointless (to do so). It is high time to remind (London) of the vulnerability of its territory, which could be literally wiped off the face of the earth.”

Alexander Khrolenko takes a more positive view. The international affairs analyst says the main purpose of war rhetoric is to drive up arms sales. Sardonically, he alludes to taxpaying Britons paying for war with their incinerated ashes or their tax obligations.

Until they are elected British MPs are a run o’ the mill lot and likely identify with the 0.7% of Britons who are millionaires. However, after their being elected, 78% of MPs are millionaires.

Why? Because MPs and peers in the House of Lords pass legislation that favours corporate interests that they invest in. This very much includes the armaments corporations.

The US legislature is based on the same war-based economy. Senators who voted to attack Syria received 83 per cent more campaign money from military contractors than lawmakers voting no.

The West’s legislators and media owners should have their investments carefully scrutinised. Doubtless, their slime trail leads inescapably to their stockbroker’s office. This means that every time we vote we vote for war. It is high time to cut the umbilical cord between politicians and the corporations.
