Washington Plans to Nuke Russia and China
Washington Plans to Nuke Russia and China
Paul Craig Roberts
Not everyone likes to hear about the threat of nuclear war. Some find
refuge in denial and say that nuclear war is impossible because it makes no
sense. Unfortunately, humankind has a long record of doing things that make no
sense.
In previous posts in recent years I have pointed out both written documents
and changes in US war doctrine that indicate that Washington is preparing a
preemptive nuclear attack on Russia and China. More recently, I have shown that
Washington’s demonization of Russia and President Putin, the incessant lies
about Russian deeds and intentions, and the refusal of Washington to cooperate
with Russia on any issue have convinced the Russian government that Washington
is preparing the Western populations for an attack on Russia. It is obvious
that China has come to the same conclusion.
It is extremely dangerous to all of mankind for Washington to convince two
nuclear powers that Washington is preparing a preemptive nuclear strike against
them. It is impossible to imagine a more reckless and irresponsible act. Yet
this is precisely what Washington has done.
Careful studies have convinced the Russians that Washington is investing in
and arranging components that have no other function than to devastate Russia
and cripple the country’s retaliatory capability. In short, Washington is
preparing to launch a nuclear war. https://www.rt.com/news/386276-us-missile-shield-russia-strike/
As I explained previously, the theory behind this insane scheme is that
after America’s preemptive strike Russia will be so devastated that Russia
would not retaliate with any remaining forces out of fear that Washington would
launch a second major strike. Washington also plans to use agents in place to
assassinate as many members as possible of the Russian government, thus leaving
the government in confusion without leadership.
Yes, the insane American/Israeli neoconservatives are this determined to
exercise hegemony over the world.
Yes, Washington is sufficiently criminally insane to risk the destruction
of life on earth based on the supposition that Washington’s offense will work
perfectly and Russia and China’s capabilities will be so degraded that no
retaliatory response will occur.
One might hope that the American and Western populations would be outraged
that Washington is so power-crazed that Washington is subjecting all life to
such risks. But there is no sign of an anti-war movement. The Western leftwing
has degenerated into Identity Politics in which the only threat comes from
white heterosexual males who are portrayed as misogynists, racists, and
homophopes. The Western leftwing is no longer war-conscious. Indeed, the
leftwing has become diverted into such silly irrelevancies as transgender
rights to toilets of their choice. The impotence of the Western left is so
overwhelming that the left might as well not exist.
Where then is the hope? Russia and China cannot simply sit there and await
America’s preemptive nuclear strike.
Possibly Washington does not intend a preemptive strike, but only to
convince Russia and China that Washington’s preparations give Washington so
much predominance in a conflict that Russia and China will submit to
Washington’s hegemony. But this interpretation of Washington’s intention implies
no less risk. Why would Russia and China wait for Washington to complete its
preparations for war, preparations that permit Washington to turn Russia and
China into puppet states?
The US military/security complex has clearly prevailed over Trump’s intention
to normalize relations between the US and Russia, and anti-Russian venom
continues to pour out of NATO and Washington’s European vassal states. The
majority of the American people seem to have accepted the propaganda that
Russia is the number one threat to the United States. With propaganda
controlling the explanation, Washington’s aggressive actions are explained as
defense against a threat and not as a policy that will end life on earth.
The chances are high that life on earth is approaching its end. The
responsibility lies heavily on the American people, whose success, due to the
mistakes of others, made Americans think that they are exceptional and
privileged. Unaware of the inhumane threat to all life that is embodied in the
neoconservative claim that Americans are exceptional and indispensable, the
self-satisfied American public is unaware of the consequences of such hubris.
Hubris is leading them, and the entire world, to slaughter in thermo-nuclear
war.
The neoconservative claim of American exceptionalism is the identical claim
made for Germans by Hitler. If Americans are indispensable, everyone else is
dispensable and can be “bombed into the stone age” as one US government
official put it, or nuked as Washington intends to do to Russia and China. The
claim of American exceptionalism is not accepted by Russia and China.
Therefore, the insane, crazed monsters who rule over the West in Washington are
bringing life on earth to an end.
And there are no protests. The idiot British, the idiot Germans, the idiot
French, Italians, Canadians, Australians, Belgians, Greeks, Portuguese,
Spanish, Japanese, rally behind the insanity that is Washington.
And so apparently do the American people, a population stupid beyond all
belief.
