The consequences of nuclear war,  first shown on the 70s during the cold war, when our politicians were more aware of their actions and had to pursue wisdom and restraint.   It had a re-showing on BBC 4 the other night, and still has a sobering effect,  perhaps our more bellicose leaders should watch it too ?     💀

It was made in 1984. Unfortunately neither Medvedev nor Putin can see it because I-player won't work in Moscow.

Ha ha !    Don't think they need to see it, they'll be perfectly aware of the consequences,  unlike the Neo-Con Yanks or the Amateur Brit politicians, who choose to suppose that Putin is "bluffing", but don't seem to consider that he may not be.   The Russians now have one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive anti-missile systems in the World, with hyper sonic missiles (which can't be shot down), for offensive use.   So their calculations may now differ slightly from the cold war, in that Mutually Assured Destruction is not the inevitable outcome, and they have a slight edge on survivability, at least of their elites.   What is certain, is that our survivability on our little Island is next to nil.   Perhaps we may get a warning when and if Israel gets wiped off the map, which could be from conventional missiles, as it's only the size of Wales, unlike Iran, which is much larger in land area.   No doubt Netanyanu will be first to unleash nuclear weapons as part of the Samson doctrine,  but with poor quality politicians in the West, no doubt things will be allowed to escalate.   💀

Apparently ,Netenyahu is being propped up by far right factions in the Israeli parliament who are fuelling the attacks on his neighbours. He seems to be on a treadmill that is going ever faster to avoid fraud charges that he is safe from while in office.

The government is turning the Israeli  army into a machine of death & destruction to oppress its opponents by turning their towns into ghettos ,just like the Jews endured in 30s/40s Europe. Disgraceful.
