It's nothing new, and is well reported in the media, but Russia's 'Adolf Hitler,' and his Imperial expansion agenda, is not directly linked to climate change, though inevitably is diverting resources away from tackling global warming. A situation that Vladimir Putin will have been enjoying, such matters not affecting the former Soviet Union. Indeed, actually helping Russia's war criminal, in warming the cold landscape and freezing permafrost.

 

 

It's nothing new, and is well reported in the media, that Russia's 'Adolf Hitler,' and his Imperial expansion agenda, may not be directly linked to climate change, though inevitably is diverting resources away from tackling global warming. A situation that Vladimir Putin will have been enjoying, the global temperature rise benefitting Russia's war criminal, in thawing the cold landscape and freezing permafrost.

 

For sure, Europe and the US should have predicted and be wary of purchasing fossil fuels from a madman, with a latent world domination agenda. Having agreed to supply cheap supplies of energy with China and India, though Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi, might fight shy of World War Three, they are building nuclear submarines and space exploration agenda's along with aggressive commercial exports. Thus if Russia is weakened by fighting Ukraine, it would boost their economies. Not least in the supply of cheaper oil, petroleum and gas. Presumably, it would not bother them if the US and Russia wiped each other out, leaving China and India to battle it out with Japan, Australia and South America.

 

 

 

A protest rally in France, asking for an end to the war in Ukraine. Europe should prepare for the eventual moment when Russian is defeated in conventional warfare, resorting to pushing the red button. If you want to survive, build your own bomb shelter.

 

 

 

On the subject of NATO and climate change, and how the war between Russia and Ukraine may be affecting climate change, as in escalating global warming. Here are some key points to consider.

We should consider some background information on the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and its implications for regional and global security, and the part of NATO in addressing environmental challenges and climate change, as well as the recent Climate Change and Security Action Plan adopted by NATO Allies [1].

 

 

 

 

 

It takes a lot of pot warming to walk into another country, so that nobody lifts a finger. Having done it once with Crimea, and after cajoling all the usual political allies, blinding them with reliance on cheap fossil fuels, and how powerful the former USSR is, with plenty of military displays and much talk of nuclear dominance. One might imagine from Hitler's example in Europe, with Blitzkrieg tactics, that Putin believed Ukraine was a Cakewalk.

 

The International Criminal Court (ICC), located in the Hague, is the court that prosecutes individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

As of March 6, 2024, the ICC has issued arrest warrants for two individuals in connection with the situation in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin is accused of the war crime of unlawful deportation of children from occupied Ukrainian territories. Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova: is also accused of the responsibility for the same war crime.

It's important to note that having an arrest warrant issued doesn't equate to being declared a war criminal, it is simply an allegation. A trial would be needed to determine guilt, and if found guilty, would then be a convicted war criminal.

 

 

 

The environmental impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has targeted Ukraine’s energy system, starting in October 2022, has been particularly damaging to the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, forest fires, oil depots, gas power plants, and renewable energy sources. You can imagine the estimates of the first year of war’s carbon footprint in the region.

The geopolitical implications of Russia’s aggression for climate action, the invasion of Ukraine may undermine the international cooperation and trust needed to address climate change effectively. Many have compared Putin’s actions with those of Hitler, who also used historical disquisitions and nationalist rhetoric to justify his expansionist ambitions, despite the efforts of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that was designed by the parties to prevent such aggressions, and a similar scenario from happening again. But here we are again, with Putin just waiting for the right moment to take advantage of the West's apparent weaknesses, having built up a suitable stash of cash and arms, to wage his expansionist plans, almost exactly as Adolf Hitler, leading up to World War Two.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can thus imagine a World War Three scenario, unless the Imperialist dictator is stopped dead in his tracks. The problem being how to do that without the Russian loon, from pushing the nuke button. Clearly, his age is one trigger, lest his career dream elude him completely as he succumbs to old age. Where he cannot be sure his successors will be so foolhardy in the modern internet age, knowing the Russian population are more enlightened. And voting might actually count one day. Especially concerning international issues such a warming of the planet, biological diversity and plastic pollution; poisoning our fish stocks.

 

The problem being that Vladimir Putin is a relic of the Cold War. It appears that he cannot get his head out of that particular cloud. Taking lessons directly from Adolf Hitler's pocket book on world domination. On that score, Vladimir Putin is not even original, as you might agree on reflection of the Führer's approach.

 

 

 

Founder and leader of the Nazi Party, Reich Chancellor and guiding spirit of the Third Reich from 1933 to 1945, Head of State and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on 20 April 1889. The son of a fifty-two-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, and his third wife, a young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from the backwoods of lower Austria, the young Hitler was a resentful, discontented child. Moody, lazy, of unstable temperament, he was deeply hostile towards his strict, authoritarian father and strongly attached to his indulgent, hard-working mother, whose death from cancer in December 1908 was a shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler.

 

 

Adolf Hitler fought in the First World War, then took advantage of the utter carnage of a depression, to promise the German people the earth. There is no doubting his skills as a master orator. 

 

On 30 January 1939, Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler gave a speech in the Kroll Opera House to the Reichstag delegates, which is best known for the prediction he made that "the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe" would ensue if another world war were to occur.

Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels helped write the speech, which was delivered on the sixth anniversary of Hitler's seizure of power in 1933. The speech lasted two or two-and-a-half hours. It dealt with both the foreign and domestic policies of the Nazi government.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hitler accused Jews of having "nothing of their own, except for political and sanitary diseases" and being parasites on the German nation, turning Germans into "beggars in their own country". He asserted there had to be an end to the misconception that "the good Lord had meant the Jewish nation to live off the body and productive work of other nations", or else the Jews would "succumb to a crisis of unimaginable severity". Hitler claimed that the Jews were trying to incite "millions among the masses of people into a conflict that is utterly senseless for them and serves only Jewish interests". Hitler then arrived at his main point:

"I have very often in my lifetime been a prophet and have been mostly derided. At the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance the Jewish people who only greeted with laughter my prophecies that I would someday take over the leadership of the state and of the entire people of Germany and then, among other things, also bring the Jewish problem to its solution. I believe that this hollow laughter of Jewry in Germany has already stuck in its throat. I want today to be a prophet again: if international finance Jewry inside and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, the result will be not the Bolshevization of the earth and thereby the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe."

Today, a speech like this would be illegal. Inciting racial prejudice and hatred. He would be arrested, tried and imprisoned. With all the build up, and wealth creation in rearming Germany, and with the help of the Gestapo, few would stand up to be counted, for fear of being eliminated, sometimes permanently.

 

 

ADOLF HITLER

 

Founder and leader of the Nazi Party, Reich Chancellor and guiding spirit of the Third Reich (New World Order) from 1933 to 1945, Head of State and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on 20 April 1889. The son of a fifty-two-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, and his third wife, a young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from the backwoods of lower Austria.

 

The young Hitler was a resentful, discontented child. Moody, lazy, of unstable temperament, he was deeply hostile towards his strict, authoritarian father and strongly attached to his indulgent, hard-working mother, whose death from cancer in December 1908 was a shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler.

Hitler's saber-rattling tactics bludgeoned the British and French into the humiliating Munich agreement of 1938 and the eventual dismantlement of the Czechoslovakian State in March 1939. The concentration camps, the Nuremberg racial laws against the Jews, the persecution of the churches and political dissidents were forgotten by many Germans in the euphoria of Hitler's territorial expansion and bloodless victories. The next designated target for Hitler's ambitions was Poland (her independence guaranteed by Britain and France) and, to avoid a two-front war, the Nazi dictator signed a pact of friendship and non-aggression with Soviet Russia. On 1 September 1939 German armies invaded Poland and henceforth his main energies were devoted to the conduct of a war he had unleashed to dominate Europe and secure Germany's "living space."

The first phase of World War II was dominated by German Blitzkrieg tactics: sudden shock attacks against airfields, communications, military installations, using fast mobile armor and infantry to follow up on the first wave of bomber and fighter aircraft. Poland was overrun in less than one month, Denmark and Norway in two months, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg and France in six weeks. After the fall of France in June 1940 only Great Britain stood firm. Leading to the Battle of Britain.

The Battle of Britain, is where the Royal Air Force prevented the Luftwaffe from securing aerial control over the English Channel. This was Hitler's first 'setback,' causing the planned invasion of the British Isles to be postponed.

 

The 'setback' for Vladimir Putin, was the fighting spirit of the Ukraine, at last supported by the EU and USA, where he simply walked in Crimea, unopposed. Indeed, Putin's saber-rattling, nuclear rhetoric, and military displays of power (marches) have failed. The Ukraine has a leader with gusto, the size of a brass space-hopper.

 

Depending on his mood swings and level or perceived desperation, the 'Red Peril' may finally punch the nuclear bag. We imagine this threat is real, spoken of many times as a threat in case Russia starts losing ground seriously, politically and geographically. Meaning that everyone, all over the world should not be shocked if it happens, and should be preparing for the worst case scenario. Mainly, to ensure survival in sufficient numbers to be able to stage a comeback. Not to waste that opportunity, should the indescribable be forced upon us.

 

 

 

 

Take a leaf out of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, that effectively ended WW2. If Putin is rash enough to unleash thermonuclear hell, the West should take that opportunity to completely neutralize the Russian threat, so sending a clear message to potentially fanatical adversaries like Iran and North Korea. No matter what the cost. It will be cheaper for planet earth in the long run.

Indeed, as allies of Russia, Iran and North Korea may care to enjoin. Giving the remainder of the developed world, NATO allies and even UK allies who are not members of NATO, the opportunity to obliterate those threats. From which (relatively) clean slate, the world, as Nations United, might rebuild from a more stable starting point. Barren, but stable; a clean canvas. Unthinkable that such a confrontation represents, every cloud has a silver lining. Leaving only China and India, to come to terms with. Who may then see reason, in curtailing their present nuclear ambitions. Not least because the cheap coal, gas and oil will have evaporated. Putting their economies into a nose dive, save for rice, tea and spices as exports. But when? When will the land be washed sufficiently to farm, and how many farmers will be able bodied enough to tend the crops?

 

Fingers crossed, the world will not be too polluted, and that any nuclear winter might be survivable. Though this goes against all that the Cleaner Ocean Foundation stands for, in the real world, one should be prepared. In the words of Sir Winston Churchill: "Speak softly, but carry a big stick."

 

What is clear, is that any nation treading a similar path to Adolf Hitler, will eventually come up against some serious competition for survival. In any nuclear conflict, cannibalism will be rife. Pork pie anyone?

SURVIVING A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST

 

While the threat of nuclear war is a critical concern, it's important to understand that preventing nuclear conflict is paramount, the exception being when fired upon, thus a retaliatory second strike and up to date defence system is essential.

 

A nuclear winter is a hypothetical scenario with devastating consequences, and preparing for it can only offer limited and uncertain benefits in the face of an event that must first be actively prevented through diplomacy and global cooperation, if at all possible.

However, if the unthinkable were to happen, it's crucial to note that there is no guaranteed way to survive a nuclear winter. There are no grants for bunkers or stocks of food.

 

The severity of its impact would depend on numerous factors, including the scale of the nuclear exchange and the prevailing environmental conditions. If Iran and North Korea don't turn chicken, the thermonuclear fallout will be expansive, potentially all encompassing. Meaning longer in bunkers, on stored foods and H2O. That the ordinary citizen cannot afford. And the armed forces have not provided or stocked for sufficient after event combat. Presumably, if an aggressor is nutty enough to push the red button, they will have a follow up invasion plan.

 

Here are some general precautions that might be considered if such a catastrophic event were to occur:

Immediate Shelter:

1. Seek immediate shelter in a subterranean location like a basement, underground bunker, or subway station. These offer some protection from the initial blast, heat, and radiation.

 

2. Remain indoors for at least 24-48 hours as this allows radioactive fallout to settle, significantly reducing its immediate threat.

 

 

 

China has a long established relationship with Russia, to include satellites for space wars, apart from the import of cheap fossil fuels, to underpin a massive building programme that would end in tears, and bankruptcy.

 

 

China has a long established relationship with Russia, to include satellites for space wars, apart from the import of cheap fossil fuels, to underpin a massive building programme that would end in tears, and bankruptcy. China has been lending money to strategic projects such as port developments, all over the world, as part of their expansion and export drive. They have also invested in wind turbine generation to allow for such loans.

 

 

 

Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi, no doubt shaking hands on some deal, one of which could have been the continued supply of fossil fuels to underpin the rapid industrial expansion of India's economy, nuclear navy and space program. Despite, those exports financing Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

 

 

Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi, no doubt shaking hands on some deal, one of which could have been the continued supply of fossil fuels to underpin the rapid industrial expansion of India's economy, nuclear navy and space program. Despite, those exports financing Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Does that make India an enemy and a risk?

 

 


Long-Term Survival:

- Food and water stockpiles: Having access to non-perishable food and water is crucial for long-term survival. Aim for a minimum of two weeks' supply per person, and ideally much longer if possible.

- Air filtration: Filtering the air you breathe is essential as radioactive dust can be present for weeks or months. Consider purchasing HEPA filters or improvising filtration systems using available materials.

- Medical supplies: Maintaining a basic stock of first-aid and medical supplies is important to address potential injuries and illnesses.

- Community and communication: Establishing communication channels and cooperating with others is crucial for sharing resources, information, and emotional support.

It's crucial to emphasize that these measures are highly speculative and offer no guarantee of survival. The consequences of a nuclear winter would be catastrophic, with widespread environmental damage, food shortages, and societal collapse.

Therefore, preventing nuclear war is the only truly effective way to avoid the horrors of nuclear winter. This necessitates continued efforts towards diplomacy, non-proliferation, and risk reduction. Individuals can contribute by supporting organizations dedicated to peace-building and global security and advocating for policies that promote dialogue and understanding between nations.

 

The war between Russia and Ukraine has undoubtedly presented a complex situation for NATO member nations, with potential implications for both climate change and defence spending. Let's take a look at some of the main points.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Increased Focus on Energy Security: The war has exposed Europe's dependence on Russian energy sources, particularly natural gas. This has sparked renewed efforts to diversify energy supplies and accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources. While this long-term shift could ultimately benefit climate change mitigation, short-term solutions might involve increased reliance on fossil fuels from other sources, potentially offsetting some of the progress made on emissions reduction.

 

Potential Disruption of Climate Action: The war is diverting significant resources and attention from other pressing global issues, including climate change. This could disrupt international cooperation on climate action initiatives and hinder progress towards achieving emissions reduction targets.

DEFENCE SPENDING

Increased Defence Expenditure: The war has heightened security concerns among NATO members, leading to calls for increased defence spending. Many member states have committed to raising their defence budgets to meet the alliance's target of spending 2% of GDP on defence. This shift in resources towards defence comes at the expense of other budgetary priorities, potentially including investments in climate change initiatives.

 

Potential Long-Term Impacts: The war could have long-term consequences for NATO's strategic direction. If the conflict persists or escalates, it may necessitate continued high levels of defence spending, creating a persistent tension between security needs and climate action.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MEMBER NATIONS PERSPECTIVES

Balancing Act: Member nations face the challenge of balancing their response to the war with their commitments to address climate change. This could involve seeking solutions that address immediate security concerns while still promoting long-term sustainability.

 

Diversity of Views: There will likely be divergences in member states' perspectives on how best to navigate this complex situation. Some countries might prioritize immediate security needs, while others might emphasize the importance of maintaining focus on climate action.

It is important to note that this is a rapidly evolving situation, and the long-term consequences of the war for NATO and climate change are still uncertain. However, the above points highlight some of the potential challenges and opportunities that the war presents for member nations.

It's also worth noting that some argue that increased defence spending can coexist with climate action.

 

Some propose investing in "green defence" technologies to improve efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Additionally, some believe that by addressing the root causes of conflict, such as poverty and resource scarcity, NATO can contribute to a more stable and sustainable future.

Ultimately, how individual member nations and NATO as a whole navigate this complex situation will depend on their evolving priorities and the trajectory of the war in Ukraine.

 

Ukraine represents the fight for freedom and the rights of every human to live a full life, free from oppression.

NATO CONTACTS

At present, NATO has 31 member countries. These countries, called NATO Allies, are sovereign states that come together through NATO to discuss political and security issues and make collective decisions by consensus.

NATO was created by 12 countries from Europe and North America on 4 April 1949. Since then, 19 more countries have joined NATO through nine rounds of enlargement (in 1952, 1955, 1982, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2017, 2020 and 2023). Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty sets out how countries can join the Alliance. It states that membership is open to any "European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area".

 

Any decision to invite a country to join the Alliance is taken by the North Atlantic Council, NATO's principal political decision-making body, on the basis of consensus among all Allies.
