You can see the writing on the wall. Put your ear to the railroad tracks and hear the train coming.
The US has nuclear weapons stationed at bases in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey (and soon in the UK) and just might be getting ready to drop one on Ukraine.
The US-UK-NATO are losing the war - despite all the lies told in western corporate media. They've already shown themselves willing to use desperate measures by ordering/helping Kiev to repeatedly attack the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in eastern Ukraine.
And just this week we saw the terrorist raid on Nordstream 1 & 2 pipelines which clearly were done by the western allies.
"Didn't NATO bases conduct exercises there [in the area of the incidents], were not American soldiers accommodated on the territory of neighboring countries? (...) This July, in the same place, near the island of Bornholm — this is Denmark — NATO exercises were conducted, using deep-sea equipment," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.
NATO member states are currently saying they will begin an investigation to learn who did this sabotage. Talk about the fox guarding the chicken house.
What makes me think the west might turn to nukes? How would they pull this off?
My fear is that the US could drop a battlefield nuke in the Donbass and then use their global CIA-run media arm to blame Russia for doing so. (Just like they are presently starting to do by blaming Russia for damaging their own undersea pipelines.) Then the US-UK-NATO could use that for an excuse to go full bore against Russia.
For evidence one might turn to this statement just released:
On Sunday, Jake Sullivan warned that Washington and its allies would act “decisively” if Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, adding that it had communicated “at very high levels to the Kremlin” that any use of nuclear weapons in neighboring country would be “met with catastrophic consequences.”
NATO may send troops into Ukraine if Russia deploys nuclear weapons in that country, Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau told local media on Thursday. The US-led military bloc has repeatedly maintained it’s not at war with Moscow and is not a party to the conflict.
I know this sounds insane. Totally irrational. Crazy. Evil, despicable. All of those words describe the neo-con pirates who run Washington and most of the EU governments. They are blinded by greed and desire for 'full spectrum dominance'. They are disconnected from reality. Are they capable of using nukes? You judge for yourself.
I'm just raising this because I feel I must. The neo-cons have been running their global economic and military empire for a long time. But their day in the sun is quickly fading. Russia, China, Iran and many other nations are now standing up to them. The neo-cons are desperate and highly dangerous.
Many of my long-time friends are adamantly opposed to nuclear war - as I am. But some of these folks still put much of the blame for this war on Russia. I don't see it that way.
If we hope to survive this current apocalyptic moment then I believe we must point our collective fingers at the real aggressor - the neo-con led west.
Remember that Russia's military budget this year is right around $65 billion. That is a defensive military. Compare that with the offensive Pentagon budget of around $1.2 trillion (when you add in all the hidden pots of gold like the Department of Energy nuclear weapons budget). Add NATO members military budgets to the US numbers and it is well over 60% of the global total in military spending.
If Washington feels it can continue to neutralize the already weak peace movement across the west by its tactic of divide-and-conquer, then the neo-cons will feel confident in continuing their suicidal death-march to regain global dominance.

Bruce, I also fear that it is the U.S. that would use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. And blame it on Russia, of course, as it has been doing all along, even staging incidents to blame on Russia.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like such a remote likelihood until you think about the systematic planning in the U.S. for everything that has occurred. And they are definitely planning on nuclear war. For sure, they will take us down that hard road... if we let them.
So then the question becomes, "How do we stop them?" I have no idea how that can be done, but the need is imperative. I will be praying and mulling this over.
Thanks Ariel
ReplyDeleteI think our strategy has to be to talk publicly about this deep concern - often and with determination.
The more we call out the abusing global bullies (US-UK-EU) the more likely the public will catch on and themselves begin to speak out.
How 'small' can a tactical nuclear weapon be? Because the likelihood would be for a 'small' nuke to be fired.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it would be difficult to hide the source/origin? I have no idea.
To respond to Ariel I think we need to put pressure on the US and UK to negotiate a cease fire and to hold referenda after say four month of peace.
Public opinion around the world is starting to turn against the US and UK, especially in diplomatic circles where they are more highly informed and who have influence. I think the pressure must come from Germany and France.
