Politics in the age of pandemics, global heating, and nuclear danger – theme for November 20
For November, we’ve been focussed on international politics – because of these massive threats, and because of the importance to the world of the American election.
With the win of Joe Biden as President -elect, the nuclear lobby has been revitalised, and already their propaganda war is swinging into action. But this renewed nuclear threat is being either ignored or encouraged by the mainstream media. Everyone seems to be getting informed about the pandemic and the climate, but not about the equally grave nuclear threats. Which is why, from now on, this site will return to its original focus on matters nuclear.
Tensions as Armenia- Azerbaijan conflict pauses. War in Syria grinds on. USA and China already in some sort of cold war. National pride and one-up-manship are perpetually on display among the leaders of countries. Nationalist and populist leaders seem to be in charge, with competitiveness and dog-eat-dog as their prevailing philosophy.
All this – when the global threats of pandemic, climate change, and nuclear danger clearly require co-operation between nations, if we are to have any hope for a decent future – indeed – perhaps any future, for the human species, and for the rest of the other species, too.
It is time for political leaders to pay attention to the efforts of global bodies, the United Nations, the World Health Organisation, and the many international agencies that work for the public good. What a timely winner for the Nobel Peace Prize was the United Nations World Food Programme!
As I write, the world watches in amazement the tortuous path of Joe Biden to the American electionpresidency. . The disastrous results of four years of the Trump presidency for the United States will take some fixing. A rational team in the White House could begin the change that the world needs – co-operation between the powerful nations to address the threats that now preoccupy the world’s people.

This regime indulged in the most vicious insanity possible and then idiots turn around and say he’s going to pull troops out of Afghanistan and Syria and iraq
Yeh right
What a bunch of hardcore bullshit
If people will not come together soon about ending and disposing of nuclear weapons, doing something about nuclear waste, and comprehensive solutions for securing and dismantling the nuclear reactors that exist, there will not be much of a planet left for life on earth, in the near future.
