'Dialogue Works': edition of 11 September
Viewers will find that this is an expanded discussion of my article yesterday about the insanely reckless U.S. decision to grant Kiev permission to use NATO missiles and other long range weapons to strike the Russian heartland, a policy which will likely be announced during the visit of British prime minister Starmer to the White House on Friday.
The newly installed British Labour government cast itself as a reincarnation of Tony Blair's 'New Labour' by ejecting the genuinely Leftist former party leader Jeremy Corbyn and positioning itself as Centrist. Now it is following Blair's role as enabler of American war crimes. In his capacity as lapdog, Blair provided respectability for President George Bush, Jr. to proceed with the invasion of Iraq without the consent of the UN Security Council and over the objections of France, Germany and Belgium. Starmer is more proactive and indeed has moved out in front of the United States in willingness to supply Ukraine with his country's most advanced lethal weapons systems with no restrictions on their use and to guide Ukrainian terror attacks on Russia. Other NATO countries have not objected but Germany and France are not following suit to avoid being identified by Russia as co-belligerents.
Russia has many different possible ways to respond to the attacks on its heartland but all those which are most appropriate in terms of severity, such as missile strikes against airbases in NATO countries which are being used to send F-16s aloft to attack Russia from Ukrainian air space or attacks on marshaling yards in Poland and Romania from which NATO weapons are dispatched to Kiev, are likely to provide Washington with the excuse it is seeking to perform a first, preemptive nuclear strike on Russia or to do something else that unleashes WWIII.
