Washington Heading Towards New Arms Race

Just last month U.S. Condoleezza Rice and her counterpart Karel Schwarzenberg of the Czech Republic signed an anti-missile shield agreement in Prague.

This NATO treaty will allow the United States to build a missile tracking radar station at the Brdy military district, southwest of the city of Prague.

NATO will also install interceptor missiles in Poland. Although Russian regime has protested (mildly of course) by Yevgeny Buzhinsky the Foreign Minister, the deal was signed, while Poland is demanding that USA give Poland $20 Billions in order to upgrade its Army. Every sell out has its price of course!

There is very strong opposition by people in the Czech Republic to this deal, with protests and demonstrations – much more than in Poland itself. The resistance in Poland is COMMERCIAL, because Poland gave immediate consent to NATO to install these missiles. US balked at this $$$ blackmail and said that Lithuania is also willing to get the missiles installed on its territory.

The only way that NATO and US imperialism is going to be stopped is for complete unity of actions by all the progressive forces in Europe. These NATO-USA plans are not only against present day Russia (who are playing a dangerous game) but also against all people of Europe and of the world. Of course it is aimed at Russia and other former Soviet Republics – one last push by US and its New World Order to dominate, once for all the rich resources of former Soviet Union and to get cheap labor workforce to slave for Imperialism.

Progressive mankind sees through this dangerous facade of creeping fascism. The bitter truth is that in competition with NATO and American imperialism, the ruling class of Russia and China are now reinforcing their nuclear military capabilities. Our world is facing an impending crisis – the threat of a Third World War – not between Socialism and Capitalism – but between capitalist states (no matter how they hide under the cloak of democracy or socialism).

This is nothing but an exacerbated and very intensifying scramble for natural resources - gas and oil – food, plus cheap labor force. On top of all this, imperialist US is undergoing a grave economic crisis plus a growing turmoil in its world financial system, and the declining US dollar is slowly putting the US into an economic recession.

Northstar Compass is sometimes criticized for commenting on the world progressive movements, communist parties and for the constructive criticism of not only Imperialism, but also the present dangerous policies of Russia. We feel that as friends of the Soviet people and the defenders of Socialism since 1918, when the organization “Hands Off Russia Committee” was established, we certainly have shown our dedication and have not changed our position since 1918!

The danger of all political struggles lies in disunity of actions. It Isn’t enough to quote, misquote, rehash, repeat, espouse Marx, Engels, Lenin or Stalin at every world conference, congress, meetings or in thousands of pages of analyses or books – as good and brilliant as they are - the desperate need for UNITY OF ACTION must supersede all.

Otherwise Imperialism, so well versed and adept – will utilize the DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY, which unfortunately at the moment is working in the world progressive movements!
