No worries

Which spark is going to start the next nuclear war? (Let’s not forget we’ve already had one.) Could it be Ukraine, should Putin lose what’s left of his marbles? Could it be India/Pakistan, both ruled in shall we say less than responsible ways (I think as the Himalayan glaciers melt, river systems which support hundreds of millions may become sources of conflict), will it be Taiwan, where China wishes to re-establish territorial rights? Or perhaps something in the Middle East, where the nuclear armed to-the-hilt Israel fancies a knock-out blow against Iran? (Palestinians don’t have to worry about that, which illegal Israeli settlements would ever be built on irradiated land?) It looks to me that Taiwan is actually the most volatile of the bunch. Taiwan (as it’s now called) was always part of China—the Chinese have an abundance of evidence to show that that was the case. But I suspect the Chinese recognise that the cost of recovering the island may be too great. I’m sure that President Xi lies awake at night remembering how the Malvinas were bravely recovered after our legitimate intervention restored our beloved Falkland Islands to colonial rule (and apparently Thatcher did send to the South Atlantic a nuclear armed submarine if things didn’t go quite her way). Well, there really are a number of flashpoints here where the button could be pushed. And it is precisely at this juncture that the UK party of government in waiting has told its members they should have nothing to do with Labour CND. It’s so depressing. At least I can say that here - since nobody at Labour’s head office has yet discovered this website. But I need to be on the safe side, given the way that algorithms work, so I am compelled to sign off with WE NEED MORE AMERICAN NUCLEAR WARHEADS. That’ll put me in good stead with Starmer’s thought police.
