nuclear war

鈥淲ar aids capitalism, those who support capitalism support war, that is, the philosophy of death and destruction,鈥 Boliva鈥檚 left-wing President Evo Morales said on April 18.

Morales warned that humanity was 鈥渁t risk of disappearing in a nuclear holocaust,鈥 as tensions mount worldwide after US military attacks in Syria and Afghanistan.

鈥淣uclear power in the United States and Western countries are getting us dangerously closer to a nuclear conflagration.鈥

Since US President Donald Trump鈥檚 inauguration, there has been a spike in commentary about the increasing risk of a war in our region 鈥 a war that could involve the US and China. As things stand, it would be impossible for Australia to avoid involvement in such a war. That is a reality we must urgently confront.
