Of course, one always encounters stupid patriotic workers with no idea of reality, saying “Nuke the bloody Ruskies!”
Don’t you encounter such idiots? How do you deal with it?” I’m convinced that all this sabre rattling is just a cynical game of brinkmanship. Neither side has any interest in collapsing capitalism simply to achieve some pyrrhic victory over the other side (and they won’t even achieve that). Capitalist politicians on both sides are members of the same club and the whole performance is put on to keep their underlings in tow, cowering in submissive compliance. We shouldn’t buy into the propaganda…”

Thank you, both, for explaining this so well. Yfs.I would say that the rulers of the US, Russia and China know perfectly well that a world nuclear war is not in their interest and won’t allowed themselves to be “pushed” into one.

Not even if conventional war breaks out between them and one is losing ground?Plus, the gung-ho leaders of the Baltics, far from being afraid, are actively wanting war with Russia, as is Macron, and complaining about NATO’s “cowardice.”
It’s from Foundations of Christianity, and i am quoting it here in the sense that the present-day situation will push the capitalists (states) to launch a world war even though logic says it would also be their own destruction. Why? Because their quarrels over spheres of interest etc. actually blind them to the bigger, logical, consideration.
And looking at Finland, Switzerland, etc., with all the money going into bunkers (and bunker drills in Russia), it indicates that they imagine a continuance of the accumulation of capital after such a holocaust, with the workers also being regimented into bunkers.
“… logic has never operated in universal history when class interests have decreed otherwise.”

Philippines and China stand-off.
Proxy wars before this never involved one of the puppet-masters’ countries itself being targeted: not the Korean war nor the Vietnamese war etc. Now, this is different.
Will the U.S. bring it’s war-eager subordinates in Europe to heel or not?
