Oct. 5, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Friday, Oct. 4, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the apt point that, “We are navigating uncharted military-political territory.” While his comments referred to the growing hostility between NATO and Russia, along with the utter collapse in diplomatic relations, the comment could also be applied to the world as a whole.

Oct. 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—“Where Is Israel Heading, When the Only Horizon Its Leaders Offer Is War?” asked the editorial in Israeli daily Haaretz. The same could be said of the leaders of every nation of today’s entire trans-Atlantic world, with a few notable exceptions. Indonesia’s President-Elect Prabowo Subianto recently pointed out that “We are witnessing heightened tensions, with global defense and strategy experts suggesting that we are on the brink of World War III…. History has shown that when powers seek to impose their will, wars erupt unexpectedly, as seen in World War I and II…. Thankfully, Indonesia has a strong tradition of non-alignment, and we will continue to uphold that position.”

Oct. 3, 2024 (EIRNS)—Today the Chief of Staff of Iran’s armed forces, Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, explained for anyone who cared to hear, what their Tuesday, Oct. 1 attack on Israel was about: “After Martyr Haniyeh’s assassination, Iran went through a tough period of self-restraint amid repeated requests by the Americans and Europeans, who would ask us to exercise self-restraint so they would establish a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.” However, Israel’s constant provocations undermined the process, and the assassination of Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah was the last straw. So, Bagheri explained that Tehran took a measured action: Iran targeted the “center for terrorism,” the Mossad spy agency; the Nevatim air base, which houses Israel’s F-35s; and the Hatzerim base, which had enabled the assassination of Nasrallah. Further, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in the hours after Iran’s Oct. 1 launching of missiles, clearly explained to European foreign ministers that Iran had sent its message, a lawful response, and that they were finished—unless Israel “plans retaliation.”

On Oct. 3, on Reunification Day in Germany, masses of Germans plan to protest in the streets to demand an end to Berlin's support of the NATO warfare, and to restore sovereignty and economic betterment in their country. Peace and security are based on economic development. 

The war hawks are preparing for a three-front nuclear war, which they think can be won.  They are wrong, and their war plans can be outflanked and defeated!

Oct. 2, 2024 (EIRNS)—The world now stands on the brink of a U.S.-Russia nuclear war being triggered not only in the Ukraine theater, but in Southwest Asia as well.

Israel says it will retaliate against Iran following a missile barrage launched by Teheran yesterday.  This threatens to escalate to World War III.

Oct. 1, 2024 (EIRNS)—As of today, the United States is involved in hot warfare in Southwest Asia—not readiness, not contingency, but engagement. At nightfall today, local time, some 180-200 ballistic missiles were fired from Iran to Israel, in retaliation, according to the Tehran statement today, for Israel’s Sept. 27 assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Hezbollah, and other named leaders. Two U.S. destroyers, the USS Cole and the USS Bulkeley, fired 12 interceptors back at the missiles, joining in the Israeli defense.

Israel's move into Lebanon represents a big step toward World War III.  NATO's new Secretary General is pro-war, but is facing a losing proposition!

Sept. 30, 2024 (EIRNS)—The evil war drive of the U.S.-backed Netanyahu Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Southwest Asia is heading into full-fledged regional combat, even to nuclear obliteration, as dramatically as is the crisis of the NATO-proxy warfare by Ukraine against Russia. This latter threat has not abated even though there so far is no formal, public approval by the U.S. for Ukraine to use deep-strike weapons into Russia. That remains pending.

The U.N. General Assembly was the scene of a battle between two paradigms, one of war and looting, the other of cooperation for mutual benefit.  

Sept. 29, 2024 (EIRNS)—Whatever team is making decisions at the White House, this “collective Joe” grouping has, on two recent occasions, apparently turned down the opportunity to go full “flight-forward,” when confronted with the matter of firing Western long-range missiles deep into Russia. On Sept. 13, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer came to muscle Biden on the matter, and on Sept. 26, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attempted his unique form of charm on the White House. On both occasions, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin had sent a loud and clear message the day before, that Moscow was in no mood to play games, where Ukrainian proxies have their “’label” on the launching of U.S., British and French long-range missiles deep into Russia.

Sept. 28, 2024 (EIRNS)—When it comes to the world’s hottest of hot spots, peace cannot be created from within the region. Only a shift in global affairs can prevent the escalation of crises which will otherwise lead to the destruction of all life on Earth through thermonuclear warfare.

Sept. 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—As has become painfully obvious over the recent period, Western leaders who have traded their souls for a place at the table of the Anglo-American imperium are standing in opposition to peace. On Friday, Sept. 27, a group of 20 nations founded the “Friends of Peace” group on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Headed by China and Brazil, and centered around their “six common understandings” to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict, these nations insisted that more fighting and weapons is not the pathway to peace. As China’s top diplomat Wang Yi said at the event: “It took time for other people to understand that other paths don’t lead to peace.” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian claimed that fully 110 nations are supportive of their initiative.
