Even as the March 22 terror attack in Russia, the sharply escalating Russia-Ukraine war, and ongoing NATO plans to put boots on the ground in Ukraine threaten to push the planet over the edge into thermonuclear war, those who would stop such insanity should take careful note of two developments over the last 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), who represent a growing current among American military and intelligence circles, issued a March 24 urgent open letter to President Joe Biden, \u201cVIPS MEMO: The French Road to Nuclear War<\/a>\u201d (\u201cSubject: On the Brink of Nuclear War\u201d) in which they warn that French President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s repeated calls to put NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine \u201cwould be leading the American people down a path toward a nuclear conflict decidedly not in the interests of the American people\u2014or of humanity itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza was finally approved on March 25\u2014because the United States didn\u2019t veto it, like it had every previous such resolution, but this time only abstained. This is a far cry from what is needed to actually stop the genocide underway and provide humanitarian life support to Gaza\u2019s 2.3 million people\u2014let alone to implement a full development program, such as LaRouche\u2019s Oasis Plan\u2014but it does show that the Biden administration is feeling the political heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The heat is coming from a shocked American population, many of whom have taken to the streets to make their opposition to the genocide known\u2014and threaten Biden\u2019s reelection. And the heat is also coming from a rapidly growing majority of what is already the Global Majority of nations and peoples, who have made it clear that they will no longer submit to 500 years of colonial rule and more modern looting of their economies by the speculative policies of the bankrupt City of London and Wall Street financial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allies in the International Peace Coalition<\/a>, have been intensely involved in organizing the forces to make that political heat grow, both in the U.S. and Europe, as well as the nations of the South. From that we draw a simple conclusion: Organizing works! But a lot more needs to be done, and quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
