Opinion: Why the US's Russia Hysteria will lead us to Nuclear War.

On January 23, 2020, The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, released their latest Dooms Day Clock prediction, bringing us ever closer to a world wide nuclear war. According to the scientists, we are only 100 seconds away from a nuclear holocaust. This should scare the hell out of any citizen on this planet. That said, the MSM, barely covered the news, preferring to focus on the US impeachment trial of president Trump. What is darkly ironic, the corporate democrats taking part in the trial, focused on the US's arch enemy, Russia. “All roads lead to Russia.” claimed the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi. Senator Adam Schiff, the impeachment manager, in his opening statement, spewed anti-Russia propaganda, proposing that the reason we are arming Ukraine, is to prevent the “war” with Russia to be played out on American soil. This statement, in itself, is preposterous, and is the type of jingoistic rhetoric that could well set off nuclear war.

Particularly over 2017-8, before the Mueller Report was published, one could not turn on the TV or log on to social media, without hearing about the Trump campaign colluding with Russia. This was the basic premise of the allegations. However, the Mueller report did not find a shred of evidence supporting these allegations. Despite the reports lack of findings, the MSM, and the cheerleaders of Russia collusion seemed to pipe down. Personally, as one of the few people doubting the pundits and frenzied politicians, I received a lot of heat. The amount of times I was called a Putin Puppet, is too numerous to mention. However, despite evidence to the contrary, the politicians continue to push the anti-Russian agenda.

In essence, this Russia-collusion hysteria truly kicked in when Trump won the 2016 election. Rather than the failed HRC campaign, and the DNC, truly reflecting, that is performing a proper autopsy on the reasons they lost the election, projected outward, blaming Russian interference. And, indeed, ignoring the emails released by Wikileaks, revealing the deep-seated corruption of the HRC campaign. Note: Wikileaks was also called a Russian asset, when all the evidence revealed the contrary. And the American people bought it.

Surly, when one attempts to analyse this Russia hysteria, without evidence, will come to the conclusion, that the DNC have nothing to offer the American people. In fact, the democratic congress has approved all of Trump's proposals, including a massive war budget, and the largest transference of wealth to the 1% in American history. Even the anti-constitutional “Patriot Act”, was extended and approved by the democrats, all the while the MSM was spouting about Russia.

Taking even a closer look at this jingoistic, pro-war rhetoric against Russia, can see it all comes down from the US State Department: the press releases are sent down to congress and the MSM, that are put out as news to the masses. And anyone going against this pro-war propaganda is labelled a traitor or an asset of Russia. It's out of control. What I'm afraid of, is there could well be a great price as a result of these lies.

Most of the American elected officials have been lobbied in one way or another; given huge amounts of money to push an agenda. Adam Schiff, for example, is highly paid by the all powerful weapons manufactures. (Please google where your elected officials get their money, and you will be not surprised as to their pro-war stance.)

The US and Russia are the most powerful nuclear powers on the planet. And currently, the US congress are “poking the bear” with lies. This is dangerous.

President Trump pulled out of the INF Treaty with Russia. Why? This is one reason the Dooms Day Clock has moved closer to midnight.

The US government and the WH are absolute warmongers. The US is currently bombing 7 countries, and most people are unaware of this fact. $130 billion extra was given to the US Defence budget, more than at the height of the Iraq war, yet still the US has not declared war on anyone. Trump can assassinate a Iranian popular leader, giving the world lies as to why, and people simply go along. This warmongering must stop.

As a child of the first Cold War, we were taught the real devastating results of a nuclear holocaust. And it ain't pretty. Our current civilisation would come to an end.

So to watch and listen to our elected government, spouting lies about a Nuclear power, playing rhetorical games in the safety of DC, turns my stomach.

I don't want the world to end, do you?
