Dear CCI Friends,
Please excuse my “hype” but I’m alarmed by the volume of articles coming across my computer about our great military power, lauding past wars, billions of dollars for new space weapons, on and on and on …
What have we Americans come to? WHY are we so ready to consider war with another nation? I don’t get it! Do we not realize the agony and suffering of innocent men, women, and children in other countries? Why in the world do we instigate war games when no other country would think about invading us? These dreaded games will begin this month and go through May 2020! WHY??? Do we realize how much money these games will cost? Or what that money could do for our people if not spent on this war mania?
And lastly, do we not realize that if one accident occurs, the result could be nuclear weapons detonated on our own cities? Note what Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on February 4th:
“Russia will react to the US military exercise in “Europe Defender 2020” due in March, but it will do so in a way that will rule out unnecessary risks. Naturally, we will react. We cannot ignore processes that arouse very great concerns. But we will react in a way that will not create unnecessary risks.”
