It makes my blood boil. I can practically feel the drool of capitalist ghouls salivating at the thought of forcing a third world war — they can barely conceal their glee about their own profits and the preservation of their dictatorship through words about a “deteriorating security situation” even though they brought that “deterioration” upon themselves.

And now, it seems, the capitalist ghouls will convince people that risks are more real than they are, by building bunkers, and mailing pamphlets, and putting aircraft carriers in our harbors, and tripling the number of American military bases in Norway, and doing military exercises in the middle of dense urban centers, et cetera et cetera et cetera. The people of Europe generally trust their governments still, so they would see all of these things happening around them and assume that it must be for “a good reason”, right? Because it would be an awful lot of effort to just be “theater”, right?

Thus when the people are trusting of their own government, they are easily scared; and when the naïve are terrified, they’re more willing to accept this sort of absolute nonsense, the idea of a “preemptive strike” in this case, which will surely trigger or bring us within inches of a third world war.

“For the sake of security” — Give me a break!
