On 26 July 2017 the US Congress overwhelmingly approved a Bill providing
for fresh sanctions against North Korea, Russia and Iran. The passage
of this Bill , and its level of support
in the US Congress, is instructive on a number of levels. The first
point is that the US, or more accurately factions within the US
establishment, are prepared to pursue policies irrespective of the lack
of an evidential foundation; run counter to the interests of its
supposed friends and allies, and completely lacks any knowledge of or
reference to historical realities. The net result of the latest
sanctions is to create a singularly dangerous situation that could very
easily lead to a nuclear war. Contrary to the bizarre beliefs of some US
policy makers, there would be no winners in such an outcome.
