World War: Risks for Humanity

By Por Néstor Núñez

Recently, the leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro spoke once again on the dangers of a nuclear war that would end humanity. The insistence on the issue is not useless or constitutes an exaggeration.

It deals with creating a global consciousness on the dangers for humanity and all forms of manifestations of life on our planet since Nazi Germany got involved in the search for a lethal weapon aimed at attempting to control the rest of the world at the end of the 1930´s.

 
Of course, it is not a coincidence that putting the energy of an atom at the service of death and destruction began with the fascists which is nothing more than the manifestation of the most violent, aggressive and degradation of capitalism.

 
If the objectives of the imperial powers is to control the rest of the world and impose its criteria and policies among others without rejecting the use of force, it is nothing strange that they are looking for more powerful weapons to do so against humanity.


It will not come as a surprise if powerful circles within the US rush in assuming the legacy in nuclear destruction begun by the Nazis. There is not much of a difference between those that proclaimed the alleged supremacy and those that for centuries proclaimed themselves that they were chosen by God to “civilize and govern the poor”.


In fact, the US nuclear attack against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, post Cold War policies, Washington’s anti missile system which would allow them the possibility of a first strike without receiving response, are examples that humanity had and has the risk of witnessing nuclear attacks.


The risk, as reiterated by Fidel Castro, increases while the White House continues to get involved in new military adventures abroad, mainly in Central Asia and carry out plans of attacks against countries like Iran, which will not be easy for US forces.


This would include a military escalation in Iran and an attempt for the Iranian people to give in with the use of tactical nuclear weapons which could activate the beginning of a definitive global holocaust.


We must create a universal consciousness on the dangers in order to stop the imperial powers in its attempts to destroy humanity.
