As of now, the world is in the same situation it was exactly 63
years ago, on October 22, 1962, when President Kennedy, in a special
broadcast to the American people, had announced the policy of the U.S.
against the Soviet Union’s stationing of nuclear missiles in Cuba. He
had said, “It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any nuclear
missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western
Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States,
requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.”
The increase in hostility against Russia from the trans-Atlantic
nations, including the U.S., Germany, the United Kingdom, and France,
risks the danger of a breakout of thermonuclear war. Speaking to the
International Peace Coalition yesterday, MIT professor and leading
U.S. nuclear expert Ted Postol had shown the tenuity of the nuclear
architecture, which could be unleashed upon the world by accident or
miscalculation, and that even after the first nuclear device was
used—whether low-yield or high-yield—there is no stopping the
chain-reaction of retaliatory attacks by nations.
Ted Postol’s presentation is a wake-up call to every concerned
citizen in the world, to take immediate action to stop the unthinkable
from occurring. There was a glimmer of hope showcased this Wednesday
in the emergency EIR roundtable discussion on the construction of a
corridor between Alaska and Russia through the Bering Sea, which
connect Afro-Eurasia with Canada, the U.S., and possibly even
southwards towards Central and South America. The antidote to nuclear
war is contained within big projects, which unite nations through
economic development, and contribute to the greater good of mankind’s
future.
Russian Direct Investment Fund CEO and Kremlin Special Envoy Kirill
Dmitriev, just a few days after the ill-conceived U.S. sanctions on
Russian oil companies, has signaled that peace is still possible.
Dmitriev is an enthusiastic proponent of the Bering Strait Tunnel
project to link the Americas with Afro-Eurasia, and shared a map drawn
in the 1960s showing the “Kennedy-Khrushchev Peace Bridge,” a proposed
linkage between Alaska and Russia during the Kennedy Administration.
Dmitriev has proposed that the tunnel be built under the name,
“Putin-Trump Peace Bridge.”
With Dmitriev now in the U.S., the potential exists to turn
geopolitical conflict into dialogue on infrastructure for peace. That
is dependent on people grasping the solution-concepts of Lyndon
LaRouche and his wife Helga Zepp-LaRouche today.
