It seems the latest generation of world leaders is simply unaware of not only the scale of damage caused by nuclear warfare but also the type and the long term repercussions of a nuclear exchange.

Hiroshima was 80 years ago, the lesson is being forgotten.

Just on the Venezuela question again, the US has announced a new deployment of troops to the Southern Caribbean, they say to combat drug gangs, but the US Secretary of State also remarked when announcing this:
"He also targeted Venezuela and President Nicolas Maduro, saying that the Maduro regime is not a government recognised by the US.
“The Maduro regime is not a government. It is not a legitimate government and we have never recognised it as such. They are a criminal enterprise that has taken control of national territory and who, by the way, are threatening US oil companies that are operating lawfully in Guyana.
“The President has been very firm on this. Anything that is a threat to the United States of America, he is going to confront.”"

The Trump administration is not exactly denying that their military buildup in the Southern Caribbean is targeting Venezuela:

Meanwhile President Maduro has just called up his military reserves: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/19/...uro-militia-us-military-deployment-intl-latam .
This is no small point, there are 4.5 million of them. So Trump is taking time out of his day to ensnare the US military in a war against 4 and a half million people under arms?

President Trump is due to make an announcement from the Oval Office in about 20 minutes from now, some claim he will declare war on Venezuela.

Yes but for example he also needs the Congress to levy tariffs, and that didn't bother him!

I think it was carried live by the big US networks, and at least the feed I watched had a huge delay as well because the President was late, and that's all it was. Weird.

Yesterday Trump was asked to rule out attacking Venezuela but declined to do so:
"President Donald Trump won’t say whether he’s planning military action in Venezuela.

While speaking to reporters Sunday, Trump was asked whether he had plans to strike mainland Venezuela, amid ratcheting tensions with the South American nation.

“Well, we’ll see what happens,” Trump replied. “Look, Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers, and drugs. That’s not acceptable.”"
( https://newrepublic.com/post/200436/donald-trump-key-question-venezuela-drug-boat )

That might not seem like a big deal to some but the fact is that Venezuela is big time broadcasting its alliance with China, Maduro was even boasting of the Huawei phone that Xi gave him.

A kinetic war between the US and China would effect us all obviously.

Just to recap, for those not following this, the US has blown up about 4 Venezuelan boats in the Carribbean, claiming they were carrying drugs but providing no proof of that. Now today Trump has followed up on that saying:
"We are certainly looking at Venezuelan land now. We have the sea under control."
This has been interpreted by many as a declaration of war on Venezuela, or something close to it, so much so that some US Senators are calling for a vote there to call a halt to it. In theory only the Senate can declare war.

you wrote some time ago about the "" Irish adventure"" share issue .
this is the Venezuelan adventure -- they have the misfortune to be sitting on the worlds biggest oil deposits and to be living close to pirates who traditionally robbed any country they could to increase the gluttonous 1%.
America is not alone broke but on top of being broke they owe 37 trillion.
they need resources so they have turned to robbery /pickpocketing as the 1% make their money through fraud murder and misery from OxyContin to war and glycophosphate and big pharma who have the power to sign up children for millions of dollars of medical care after they poison them first.
they should take every child molesting robber and bring them to one state along with all the pimps and neocons /war merchants and assorted trash and set fire to the dam state .

Yes and a lot of people are under the illusion that nobody would want a world war. But the Globalists want it, because its set to become one of the main reasons to justify their world government.

Andrew Bridgen, the former MP, just tweeted this:
"The only excuse for a One-World Government [is] that it will supposedly ensure peace*. The only thing that can make people cry for peace is war. War brings chaos, destruction, exhaustion... economic-ruin...heartbroken... mothers and fathers... *Peace becomes worth any price* and that is the emotion upon which the conspirators depend for the success of their satanic plot...'
quote from Myron Fagon."
