DESCRIPTION:Not since the height of the Cold War has the danger of a war between major 
 nuclear armed powers been so great.\n\nIn the past two weeks the Trump 
 Administration has fired cruise missiles at a Syrian base with Russian 
 military personal operating out of it, fired the largest non-atomic weapon 
 in history to intimidate its adversaries, and, now, has threatened North 
 Korea with assassinations and a pre-emptive strike. The Democratic Party 
 and media, which has opposed Trump on the basis of his attempt at a 
 rapprochement with Russia, now bursts out in ecstatic praise for Trump’s 
 recent spate of warmongering.\n\nBehind the US threat to North Korea lies 
 the more fundamental conflict with China, which American officials and 
 military strategists see as a major long-term economic and geopolitical 
 competitor. At the center of the campaign on the Korean peninsula is the 
 effort to force China, which also possesses nuclear weapons, to accept US 
 hegemony over the Asia-Pacific region.\n\nThe war drive of Washington, 
 backed by Seoul and Tokyo, has no progressive content. They have no regard 
 for the suffering of the North Korean people or for the potential of even 
 greater suffering in war. US and Japanese imperialism, backed by South 
 Korea, seek to deepen their hegemony in the region. Pyongyang has commitied 
 numerous crimes against its people, but the historical task of dealing with 
 the Stalinist regime is the duty of the North Korean working class, united 
 with their class brothers and sisters in the South, Japan, China, the 
 United States, and internationally.\n\nPlease join the IYSSE to discuss the 
 grave, growing danger of war between the US and its major geopolitical 
 rivals. At the discussion, WSWS journalist and Korean correspondent Ben 
 McGrath will deliver a political report on the events in the Koreas, as 
 well as deeper history of conflict and imperialism in the region.\n\n
