The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

U.S. sending updated nukes to bases in Europe

 


                             THE NEW NUCLEAR BOMBS MADE IN USA


 By GRANDANGOLO (Italian TV peace network)

 

"Production of the B61-12 nuclear bomb begins," Sandia National Laboratories from the United States announced. The B61-12, which replaces the previous B61 deployed by the U.S.  at Aviano and Ghedi and other European bases, is a new type of weapon.

It has a nuclear warhead with four power options, selectable depending on the target to destroy.

It is not dropped vertically, but at a distance from the target on which it is directed guided by a satellite system. It can penetrate underground, exploding deep to destroy command center bunkers in a nuclear first strike. The B61-12s, classified as "non-strategic nuclear weapons," are deployed in Europe – in Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Great Britain and probably other countries – at distances far enough to strike Russia. They thus have offensive capabilities similar to those of strategic weapons.

Another nuclear weapon system, which the United States is preparing to install in Europe against Russia, is ground-based intermediate-range missiles. They can also be launched from  "anti-missile shield" installations, deployed by the U.S. at bases in Deveselu  (Romania) and Redzikowo (Poland), and aboard five warships cruising in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and  Baltic Sea close to Russia.

That such installations have offensive capabilities, Lockheed Martin itself confirmed.  
 
Outlining the characteristics of the Mk 41 vertical launch system, used in both land and naval installations, it specifies that it is capable of launching "missiles for all missions, both defense and long-range attack, including Tomahawk cruise missiles." These can be armed with nuclear warheads.

Europe is thus being turned by the U.S. into the front line of a nuclear confrontation with Russia, even more dangerous than that of the Cold War.
