Oliver Boyd-Barrett on Greenlighting Escalation Towards WW3
Media and Communication Professor Emeritus Oliver Boyd-Barrett discusses his new article “Greenlighting the Escalation.” He writes: We should expect with a fairly high degree of certainty that the US and UK will greenlight the use of Western long range missiles on targets in Russia…We can debate whether these attacks will be initiated before or after the US presidential election. Given the speed of Ukraine’s defeat in Donbass and stalling in Kursk I suspect sooner rather than later…Russian weapons will give much greater backbone to Islamic retaliation against Israel for the Gaza and West Bank genocides, and to the responses of Iran, Syria and Iraq to daily Israeli murder and other aggression, even as the US reduces its aircraft carrier presence in the region down to one (with the return home of the Theodore Roosevelt). Is World War 3 probably only days or weeks away, as Gilbert Doctorow writes? Let’s ask Prof. Boyd-Barrett. You’re currently a free subscriber to Kevin’s Newsletter.
