If humans are to survive the 21st century, we need a ‘new world order’, in the cause of ‘world peace’. So far we have been very lucky, that we have not been destroyed, in a ‘nuclear war’ by accident.
In November 1974, an American submarine, carrying 160 nuclear warheads, when it hit a Russian submarine, in shallow water off the coast of Holy Loch, Argyll, in Western Scotland. ‘The SSBN James Madison’, was departing Holy Loch, to take up station, when it collided with a societ submarine wairing outside the port, to take up trail.
On 23rd May 1967 huge solar flares jammed the three US Early Warning Stations in Alaska, Thule in Greenland, and Flying Dales in North Yorkshire, but the US Air Force Weather Forecasters managed to tell their top officers to cool their jets before ‘Armageddon’ was unleashed.
On September 1983, Soviet Lt Colonel Stanislav Petrov, was in command at Serpukhov-15, monitoring satellite-based detection system. Shortly after midnight an alarm sounded signalling that the US had fired five intercontinental ballistic missiles towards Russia. It was a ‘false alarm’, one of the satellites had misinterpreted the glint of sunlight off coulds near Montana as a missile launch, and for a while it was believed that the US had started a nuclear war. But Petrov decided to check with ground radar, and ignore the blaring warning alarm, and reported the launch as ‘false alarm’, and averted a ‘nuclear holocaust’.
In the future it will not be possible to check for a ‘false alarm’, because NATO has decided to place ‘nuclear weapons’ on Russia’s border, in Eastern Europe. All countries should sign a treaty of non-aggression, and incorporated in it, a treaty of human rights in order to avoid a ‘nuclear holocaust’ by accident, as we are all children of ‘God’, and gatred does not cease with hatred, but with love alone.
