To answer Trump’s Nuclear Threats with Mobilization

Trump affirmed his intention to break the treaty with Russia on the prohibition of small and medium range missiles. He added that “We have much more money than any other, and we will develop it (nuclear potential), until they get their senses back”, in reference to the incapability of semi-colonial economies like Russia and China to sustain an arms race. 
POI – Russia
Some believe that atomic weapons can no longer be used and Trump’s words should not be taken seriously. Actually, current contradictions within the imperialist system would only lead to trade “wars”, not to a world or nuclear war. Truly, the absolute military superiority of North American imperialism makes a 3rd World War unlikely. Today, all semi-colonial and dependent countries’ governments, including China and Russia, even with all their possible contradictions, submit to world imperialist order. They play their part to sustain it, so imperialism has no actual reasons to go to war against them, even less so atomic wars. Finally, it is also true that North American imperialism does not have complete control over atomic weapons, even with Russia having great potential of nuclear deterrence, which much weakens the superiority of North American imperialism in conventional weapons, as it also weakens its “military” arguments of pressure over countries with nuclear potential.
However, it is also true that from the strategic point of view, North American imperialism would like to overcome this absence of complete control over nuclear weapons. And the will to develop weapons would not make sense without managing its use. Therefore, Trump’s statement, a face without masks of North American imperialism, is very serious.
There may be different motives behind Trump’s statement. There may be the intention of North American imperialism to conquest the complete control in the field of atomic weapons. There may be the intention to guarantee for themselves the missiles of mid-range (even if with conventional warheads) for greater military control over semi-colonial countries from their bases around the world (the flight time of such missiles is much smaller than the voyage of an aircraft carrier or the flight of a bomber). There may be the intention of pressuring, through a new arms race, so that Putin and China are more “positive” regarding the current points of conflict. Additionally, there may be the intention of pushing North American economy through incentive to military industry, in the framework of world economic crisis. May be, it is all this together. In any case, it is an expression of Trump’s desire to impose the will of North American imperialism over all, supported on the capability of winning a nuclear war.
Trump’s statement is a calling to fight to all workers around the world.
It is a calling to the workers and peoples of Latin America, considered by North American imperialism as their backyard, even forbidding the countries of the region to possess their own nuclear programs, like in Brazil and Argentina. It is also a calling for the workers in these countries to face their governments, which are submissive to Trump and are always willing to pay Uncle Sam the criminal foreign debt to build new missiles and warheads.
It is a calling to the workers and peoples of the Middle East, permanently under threat of atomic bombs, guaranteed for Israel by North American imperialism. It is also a calling to face the dictatorships of the Arab countries, which acknowledge the right to the existence of this imperialist enclave, guaranteeing the “security” of their frontiers to please imperialism.
It is a calling to the Japanese workers and their memory of the victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings, crimes that are disregarded until today by North American imperialism. It is also a calling to Japanese workers to struggle against their own imperialist government, lackey of the USA in the military fields, which guarantees their country’s ground for North American military.
Trump’s statement is also a calling to European workers. Historically, Europe, not the USA, is the potential theater of military operations with the use of mid and small range nuclear weapons. It is a calling to fight against the European Union and its governments, which guarantee the European territory as bases for nuclear missiles and North American military bases. In the first place, against the Merkel administration in Germany, the Belgian and Dutch monarchies, the “national” government of Italy, which allow North American imperialism to use their countries as potential bases to launch their nuclear weapons, turning them into potential objectives too. It is a calling to the English workers to fight their government, which directly supported Trump’s nuclear intentions.
It is a calling to the workers and the peoples of Turkey to fight against Erdogan, who continues to yield territory so North American imperialism may base their nuclear missiles.
Trump’s statement, obviously, is also a calling to the oppressed workers and peoples of Russia to rise against the Putin administration. With its military aggressions against the peoples of Ukraine and Syria, it turned Russia into a scarecrow before the eyes of the workers and oppressed of the world, helping imperialism dress as the “defender of democracy” against the “Russian threat”. Putin personally supported and wished for the victory of Trump in the North American elections, trusting an alliance with him. However, he received instead new sanctions and threats of nuclear nature. In answer, he simply “regrets” Trump’s nuclear threats. Here ends Putin’s “anti-Americanism”.
It is also a calling to the workers in China. A country that North American imperialism ordered to interrupt the development of their nuclear program, despite the North American nuclear potential being 50 times greater in warheads, and even greater if one takes into account the missile carriers. The calling to the Chinese workers is also to struggle against the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party, which guarantees North American multi-nationals their profits at the expense of overexploitation of Chinese labor power, guaranteeing more than any other country the money necessary for Trump’s nuclear weapons. The Chinese Communist Party, just as Putin, answered Trump’s affront with a simple “not to swim against current”.
Clearly, Trump’s statement is a calling to North American workers, to whom he declares that “we have much more money than any other”, but not for public health, wages and other social rights, and yes to increase what is already by far the greatest atomic arsenal in the world. It is a calling to struggle for North American workers, to whom Trump promised to make “happier”, “making America great again”, through the capability of victory in a nuclear war…
The leaders of European imperialisms reacted nervously to more “destabilizing” statements by Trump. However, none of them rushed to request him to withdraw his missiles and military bases from European territory or declared the outing of NATO, a military alliance controlled by the USA. Putin and the Chinese Communist Party also stuck to “respectful” verbal criticism against Trump’s statement.
Only the working class and the oppressed peoples of the world may give an answer to Trump and his nuclear weapons. Trump and his weapons spread around the world are a direct threat to the workers and the oppressed peoples, including North American workers and people. In answer to his threats, it is necessary to mobilize and demand from the governments of Europe, Turkey, Japan to immediately interrupt the yielding of their territories for North American missiles and military bases and for out with NATO. From the G 20 countries, we must demand for their governments not to participate in the next summit in Argentina, they must not participate in forums where Trump is present. In the USA, to mobilize against Trump, who turns his workers into hostages, in his wrath “to make the world get its senses back” through atomic weapons.
Trump, go home! Trump, go away!
