The Rise of the Death Cult.

No, I'm not talking about the religion of peace this time.

I'm talking about the class of elitist politicians in Europe and America that insist on pushing us ever closer to the big one, the war to end all wars. Nuclear Armageddon.

While Billionaires build luxury bunkers, the politicians of the West provoke the Russian Bear. 

Putin has already outlined his red lines. The West have crossed those lines time and time again. Yes, 20 years ago Russia was powerless to push back, but not now. Decades of Western  money paying for gas has filled the Russian coffers up so that they can now push back. Not only locally like with Ukraine, but internationally.

They now have weapons that can strike back at the West. Should the West step too far, too close to that final red line.

No matter what you think about Putin, his politics and him personally, gambling with the lives of people in the West is not acceptable.

But here we are, where the political elite of the West talk about Ukraine joining NATO. Even while Ukraine is embroiled in the war with Russia. How incredibly stupid could you be?

If Ukraine joined NATO then immediately we would have to join the war. Immediately there is an escalation that Russia have gamed they only have a chance of winning if they resort to the use of Nukes.

No if or buts. If Ukraine joins NATO, then the Nukes will fly, because Russia has to stop or slow the influx of equipment into Europe. The European ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam, etc. will be first to be hit. Denying the Americans and the British ports with which to unload heavy military equipment. 

The channel tunnel I suspect would be next. Whether the French or the British end is moot. Closure of the tunnel denies the West the ability to move heavy equipment from the UK with just a single Nuke. 

With the ports and the resupply taken care of, then Russia will also attack the large storage bases in Europe. Frankfurt would be high on the tactical nuke list to deny the airbase to the Americans.

Finally command and control structures. Parliaments, military bases, all would be on the list for nuclear attention.

Even that quarry in Scotland we're not supposed to talk about according to Professor Simon. Just in case it's not just a dumping site for nuclear waste and is actually a site for storing weapons.

Incidentally, nuclear weapons give off neutrons as part of the decay of the nuclear material, so the storage sites are detectable with the right sort of kit (<cough> Antarctica). 

Anyhoo, can we just stop with the death cult thing? I don't want to be immolated in a nuclear fire and I don't want my kids and grandkids to suffer a post-nuclear apocalypse.

Let's just stop the lunacy eh? Ukraine will NOT join NATO.
