1-27-23 The Nuclear War That We Have Been Relentlessly Warned About Is Now Right On Our Doorstep

The Nuclear War That We Have Been Relentlessly Warned About Is Now Right On Our Doorstep - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/the-nuclear-war-that-we-have-been-relentlessly-warned-about-is-now-right-on-our-doorstep/ Once the nukes start flying, there will be no going back. So I hope that you all understand that we are playing for all the marbles here. Sadly, our leaders don’t seem to get it. They just keep escalating the conflict in Ukraine, and on the other side the Russians just keep escalating matters as well. On Thursday, Russia responded to news that the U.S. and Germany would be giving highly advanced tanks to the Ukrainians by firing “a barrage of missiles and drones across the country”. The Russians are now so invested in this war that there is no way that they could ever back down. Of course the same thing is true for the Biden administration. Joe Biden has staked his presidency on winning this war, and Congress has already approved approximately 100 billion dollars in total aid for the Ukrainians. We are on a collision course with destiny, and the cataclysmic war with Russia that I have been warning about for many years is now right on our doorstep. Donald Trump is warning that a worst case scenario is coming too. On Thursday, he posted a message that instantly made headlines all over the world… A Truth Social post from Trump on Thursday appeared to react to the recent wave of announcements on Western tank deliveries. “FIRST COME THE TANKS, THEN COME THE NUKES. Get this crazy war ended, NOW. So easy to do!” Trump wrote. He is quite correct. We must end this war before the nukes start flying. And actually Joe Biden once warned that we would be facing “World War 3” if we ever sent tanks into Ukraine. But now the Biden administration is trying to assure us that sending tanks into Ukraine is perfectly fine. Look, at this point we are providing more funding for the war in Ukraine than everyone else combined, more military equipment for the war in Ukraine than everyone else combined, more ammunition for the war in Ukraine than everyone else combined, and more military intelligence for the war in Ukraine than everyone else combined. In addition, we are regularly flying Ukrainians into this country for training. Once their training is done, they are sent to the front lines where many of them will soon die. Sadly, as long as it isn’t our boys and girls that are dying on the plains of eastern Ukraine, most Americans are simply not going to care. But the truth is that this has become our war, and the Russians understand this very clearly… “There are constant statements from European capitals and Washington that the sending of various weapons systems to Ukraine, including tanks, in no way signifies the involvement of these countries or the alliance in hostilities in Ukraine,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “We categorically disagree with this, and in Moscow, everything that the alliance and the capitals I mentioned are doing is seen as direct involvement in the conflict. We see that this is growing.” Over and over again, the Russians have threatened us with nuclear weapons, but for some reason we are not taking those warnings seriously. This week, the head of Russia’s lower house of parliament wrote something that should send a chill up all of our spines… The head of Russia’s State Duma has said that the promised deliveries of additional weapons to Kyiv by Western countries could heighten the war in Ukraine to a new level that could result in a “global catastrophe.” Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel on January 22 that “if Washington and NATO countries supply weapons that will be used to strike civilian cities and attempt to seize our territories…this will lead to retaliatory measures using more powerful weapons.” The comments by the head of Russia’s lower house of parliament were broadly taken to mean nuclear weapons, and he has now joined other high-ranking Russian officials who have recently threatened a significant escalation of the unprovoked war the Kremlin launched against Ukraine 11 months ago. But the Biden administration can’t back down now. Biden has essentially pushed all of his chips into the middle of the table and is betting everything that this war will be a success… Biden has pinned his legacy on a major land war in Europe in which the United States has engaged in an effective proxy battle with nuclear rival Russia. This fight – which is, in a way, the last battle of the Cold War – is a test of will between an American president and a Kremlin strongman deeply influenced by the US-Soviet standoff. Biden is leading the most significant foreign policy venture at least since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Its success is critical for America’s credibility as well as his own. The magnitude of the mission is likely to overshadow much of the rest of his presidency – including the current investigation into misplaced classified documents – in world history. So more escalations are inevitably coming. It is time for the American people to face the truth. We are at war, and there is no way out. Recently, an extremely long line of tanks was spotted rolling across Kansas. Scenes such as this will become increasingly common in the days ahead. If the American people truly understood what was at stake, there would be massive protests in every major U.S. city right now. But they don’t understand what is at stake. We are literally closer to nuclear annihilation than we have ever been in our entire history, and the Russians have actually been preparing for such a scenario for decades. Unfortunately, the backbone of the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal is still made up of hopelessly outdated Minuteman missiles that first went into service back in the 1970s. Would you want to use a computer or a phone from the 1970s? Well, then why would we want to fight a nuclear war with missiles from the 1970s? But instead of addressing that glaring need, the Pentagon is gearing up for conventional wars on multiple fronts, and this is making U.S. arms manufacturers very happy… The Post also notes the budget proposal does far more than that: “It lays the foundation for a vastly revitalized defense industrial base – and does so with one eye on the People’s Republic of China.” 25 new mass-assembly lines will soon roll out weapons quantities “far in excess of what is required to replenish Ukraine.” 700 HIMARS systems are ordered vs. the 20 sent to aid Kyiv, and 3,600 of two kinds of anti-ship missile, more appropriate for the South China than the Black Sea. One way or another, the military industrial complex always seems to win. But if a nuclear war erupts, there will be no winners. Only losers. Joe Biden and his minions are assuring us that the war in Ukraine can be won without nuclear weapons ever being used by either side. Do you believe them? Hopefully they are correct, because if their gamble fails it will literally mean the end of civilization as we know it today.
