Mikhail Gorbachev tells the BBC: World in ‘colossal danger’

NB: The world should respect this man: he steered the USSR to a peaceful end, the implosion could have been catastrophic. This warning shows how foolish are those who think Trump is a harbinger of peace: his total disrespect for American law is paralleled by a equal disregard for treaties and obligations laid down for controlling the nuclear arm race. He is a scam artist and petty con-man who breeds and fosters others like him All of us should beware of ultra-nationalist theatrics. DS


The former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has warned that current tension between Russia and the West is putting the world in "colossal danger" due to the threat from nuclear weapons. In an interview with the BBC's Steve Rosenberg, former President Gorbachev called for all countries to declare that nuclear weapons should be destroyed.
