Corbyn just dropped a truth bomb on the warmongering elite, and now it’s up in arms
On 18 August, the real reason why the establishment believes Jeremy Corbyn is so “dangerous” was made perfectly clear. Responding to a question about defence at a Labour leadership debate, the incumbent refused to justify military action by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), instead vowing to make efforts to create “a world where we don’t need to go to war”.
For millions of citizens around the world, this is great news. But for those intent on maintaining the politics of power and the lucrative industries that support that, Corbyn’s vision is nothing short of a disaster.
Do you want to be in our gang?
At the debate, Corbyn and fellow candidate Owen Smith were asked a question about Russia:
How would you as Prime Minister react to a violation by Vladimir Putin of the sovereignty of a fellow Nato state?
Corbyn responded:
You’d obviously try to avoid that happening in the first place. You would build up a good dialogue with Russia to ask them, support them in respecting borders. We would try to introduce a demilitarisation between Russia and Ukraine, and all the other countries down on the border between Russia and Eastern Europe.
What we cannot allow is a series of continuous buildups of troops on both sides which can only lead to great danger in the future. It’s beginning to look awfully like Cold War politics at the present time. We’ve got to engage with Russia, engage with demilitarisation in that area, in order to try and avoid that danger happening.
NATO was formed in 1949 in the wake of WWII. Initially, its primary focus was Russia, and the creation of an alliance capable of taking on the red ‘bear’ where necessary. But once the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union was dissolved, tensions with Russia faded and NATO, determined to justify its continued existence, moved on to other targets.
