Stopping the NATO war-drive in its tracks is the greatest task of all right-thinking people.There will be no Socialism - or anything else - if humanity and the earth itself is scorched of all life.
A prospect no longer the stuff of dystopian fiction as we gaze across the wars already blazing and threatening imminently to burst into flames.
As I write Iran is under attack from the US client-state of Israel. Iranian retaliation seems likely if not certain given the scale and scope of the provocation.
War is raging in Europe on the borders of the European Union itself. The NATO confrontation with Russia is reaching the point of no-return with US and European weapons and men pouring into the battlefield and demands for strategic intervention to prevent the defeat of the US client-regime in Kiev a growing clamour amidst the madness of crowds.
And 5-star US Generals predicting war with China “within two years”, a prediction endorsed by the Chairman of the Congress Foreign Affairs chairman - a Republican! Making plain that the business of America is not business but war, and it’s bi-partisan.
War with China war with Iran war with Russia. There’s only one place such madcap militarism can end up - Armageddon.
Not a single government in Europe is seeking to apply the brakes - in Britain not even a single MP!
On the contrary the drive to all-out war is accelerating, daily.
And make no mistake about it. Such a war could not possibly be restricted to conventional weapons. No nuclear-armed state or alliance will allow itself to be defeated, over-run, occupied, without exhausting all the means at its disposal.
Potentially thousands of nuclear weapons - each a thousand times more powerful than those which struck Hiroshima and Nagasaki - are now on a hair-trigger. On which rest the shaky fingers of Joe Biden.
The complete capitulation to this war drive by politics of the left as well as the right, the virtually complete absence of a clear and courageous anti-war movement to rally opposition has left a dangerous vacuum at the heart of civil society in Britain - even while opposition rises on the European mainland and in the United States.
Into this vacuum has stepped No2Nato which convenes in London Feb25. Join us, follow us, listen to us. The future of all of us now depends on it.
