"I'm not so sure he's mad, Father. Just a little devious in his sanity."

The ruling-class, appearing mad, and might possibly be, are willing to sacrifice the lives of millions to secure dominance over the world's resources.

The following list is incomplete, but blows up the myth that "nuclear war is too great a threat to occur!"

Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945); Gen. Douglas MacArthur argued for the dropping of atomic bombs on China (1950); Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)...

... Operation Giant Lance (1969); Able Archer (1983); Chernobyl Disaster (1986); Fukushima Disaster (2011); and a German Air Force chief's call for nuclear assault on Russia (2022).

The threat of nuclear holocaust is more imminent than it has ever been; the blatant provoking of the nuclear-armed bear is simply one variation of Nixon's "Madman Theory."

The ruling-class, on the one hand, appears mad. On the other, such actions constitutes insanity.

To stop, prevent the drive to #WorldWar3, workers must have a programme which is capable of executing such a monumental task: an internationalist and socialist programme.

Nuclear war is not too great a threat to occur, it can, and, to a lesser extent, has: Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to brink of nuclear war, as did Nixon's "madman theory," deploying 18 B-52 nuclear-capable bombers north of the USSR.

Mike Pompeii announced just a couple years ago the US' withdrawal from the INF treaty with Russia; a German Air Force chief called for nuclear war against Russia, and now NATO prepares for “warfighting against nuclear-armed peer-competitors."

If the working-class does not take immediate action, there will be two suns in the sunset.
