On the day when a telephone call is taking place between President Trimp, USA, and President Putin, Russian Federation, to supposedly ‘resolve’ the conflict between Ukraine and Russia in which thousands have been killed or mutilated the conflict between Israel and Palestine continues to result in the deaths of many.

A nineteen sixties singer sang of the Universal Soldier which posits that without individuals of various states being willing to serve in the military and give their bodies as weapons of war then wars would not be possible.

The SPGB has, since its inception, condemned war and has explained often the underlying reasons for armed conflict within a capitalist system.
With the West (so-called ‘leaders’ that is, not general populations) apparently determined to set itself on a course of war with Russia in the not too distant future, with the prospect of nuclear weapons being used and the devastating effect for humanity that would have, then the question has to be begged as to why the majority continue to allow this state of affairs to continue?
