Peace? What peace? It's all just war talk

ALL this wondrous talk of Peace is actually the opposite it's War Talk!

- Norman Wyman

The government's Strategic Defence Review is proof enough of that. Why would we need to declare an emergency uplift in military spending, at a direct and crippling cost to welfare benefits for people with disabilities, unless we were preparing for war?

The second question is two-fold. Who is about to attack us and who are we about to attack? Talk of Russia taking over Europe is beyond nonsense. On the one hand the western military strategists say the Russian economy is in tatters and at the same time they argue that Putin wants to invade Britain. Both arguments cannot be correct.

The hypocrisy gets worse. Our leaders and those across the West are wringing their hands at the enforced famine and mass starvation of two million Palestinians, whilst actively providing the arms and hardware with which to pound and systematically murder people across Gaza.

The stated desire for ceasefire is not what it seems. They are reconfiguring towards fresh battle lines in Europe, the Middle East and the far-East.
