Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s description that we are “sitting on a powder keg” regarding relations between the U.S. and Russia was confirmed following the conclusion of talks Wednesday.  A Russian spokesman said there is no “unifying, positive agenda” between Russia and NATO, as the West is choosing a Cold War containment strategy.  A sudden outbreak of war is increasingly possible, as long as relations are defined by the imperatives of imperial geopolitics, i.e., divide the world into competing blocs, with the unipolar power of the U.S./NATO dictating terms.  One flank, where cooperation is possible, is collaboration to rebuild Afghanistan.  Join us, Jan. 17, at 11 AM EST, for our online seminar “To Stop the Murder in Afghanistan” (register here: https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/20220117-conference).
