The West’s approach to dealing with Russia and China by threats and bullying—
\nincluding the use of first-strike nuclear weapons—makes the issue of Climate Change
\nseem almost trivial by comparison.<\/p>\n
Even stipulating that the Pope’s Encyclical has it right about the need for Sustainability to
\nreduce the danger of carbon gases and other things effecting the climate, the US\/NATO
\nAsian Pivot and threat to the Russia-China Alliance (The New Silk Road, AIIB, BRICS, etc.)\u00a0constitutes a far more immediate danger to humanity.<\/p>\n
As the two writers below demonstrate in their essays, Western belligerence has replaced
\nco-operation while propaganda is substituted for sound public policy.<\/p>\n
With “push almost coming to shove” in various hot zones like in Ukraine, the South China

\nand possible nuclear war increases daily.<\/p>\n
All of us must do our part to prevent this horror from happening. With talk of Prompt Global Strike and \u201cpre-emptive nuclear war\u201d tossed around on a regular basis,\u00a0psychology of accepting such madness erodes the common sense of all decent folks who are repelled by the thought of such an occurrence.<\/p>\n
