New plans for the US military include arming the former Iron Curtain countries with the latest in missile technology supposedly to thwart any plans by Iran to attack Europe. The problem with this is that Iran does not currently have any missile capability to reach Europe, nor has it expressed any desire to achieve such weaponry. At the same time, Russia is looking at this move by the US military as a possible future deployment of American arms aimed at her, and is now increasing its military state of alert as a result. Russia has resumed international patrolling of its airspace and has restarted its nuclear proliferation build up. If left unchecked, this will lead to a new Cold War scenario with China added to the mix as it builds up its defenses against newly perceived tactical threats from the US in Taiwan, the Philippines and elsewhere.
If the US continues unabated on its present course, it will create a new level of anxiety throughout the world that will overshadow any global warming, starvation, disease or other calamities that the world is currently facing. The trend to unchecked military build up will sap all other resources needed to fight these dire threats to all of mankind. The world will be forced to spend inordinate amounts of time, money and effort in defending itself from possible US bellicose and hegemonic agendas at the expense of these other more important issues. It is likely that the only winners in such a scenario would be the military-industrial complex, and that would be short lived as the world plunges deeper and deeper into the abyss of global warming, starvation and massive and devastation illnesses such as AIDS, new and highly resistant flu and cold strains, and other deadly diseases. Left unchecked, this trend will cause the quickening of global warming and massive depopulation tendencies leaving a globe of inhospitable climates, deadly toxic atmospheric gases and an ever shrinking human population on the edge of complete annihilation
