Nuclear War against both China and Russia is contemplated
“At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, has humanity been closer to the unthinkable. All the safeguards of the Cold War era, which categorized the nuclear bomb as “a weapon of last resort”, have been scrapped”.
Russia is tagged as “Plausible” but “Not Expected”. That was back in 2002.
Today at the height of the Ukraine war, a Preemptive Nuclear attack against Russia is on the drawing of the Pentagon.
Blow Up The Planet to “Defend Democracy”. Liz Truss: “I’m Ready to Do That”
Nuclear War is part of British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss’ campaign for the Conservative Party leadership. She spoke at a Conservative party event in Birmingham, The host of the event John Pienaar asked her if she would give the order “to unleash nuclear weapons” from Trident.
He added: “It would mean global annihilation… “How does that thought make you feel?”
Truss replied: “I think it’s an important duty of the prime minister and I’m ready to do it. I’m ready to do that.”
“Big Money” and “Big Ignorance”
Political opportunism in support of the Nuclear Weapons Aerospace Complex: There is “Big Money” and “Big Ignorance” behind Truss’ bold statement. Her Conservative Party audience applauded in chorus.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss hasn’t the foggiest idea regarding the nature of nuclear weapons and their devastating impacts.
Moreover, she does not know the geography of the Russian Federation, claiming that Rostov on the Don as well as Voronezh belong to Ukraine; it’s like saying that Manchester belongs to Scotland:
“… during their closed-door meeting on Thursday [February 11, 2022] Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov had asked Truss if she recognised Russian sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh – two regions in the south of the country where Russia has been building up its forces.”
… Truss replied that Britain would never recognise them as Russian, and had to be corrected by her ambassador.” (Reuters report)
Truss, … told the BBC’s Sunday Morning show that “we are supplying and offering extra support into our Baltic allies across the Black Sea”.
Zakharova noted that the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania lie off the Baltic Sea, not the Black Sea, which is hundreds of miles to the south.
“The Baltic countries are called so because they are located precisely off the coast of this [Baltic] sea. Not the Black [Sea],” the Russian official wrote on Facebook.
“If anyone needs to be saved from anything, then it is the world from the stupidity and ignorance of Anglo-Saxon politicians.”
“Humanitarian Nuclear Bombs”
Liz Truss is not the only ignorant Western politician in high office which favours the use of nuclear weapons. In recent years, “Many high-ranking military and civilian officials, politicians and experts are openly talking about the possibility of using nuclear weapons in a first strike attack against any nation under many pretexts with low-yield or high-yield nuclear charges” ( No Guerra No NATO).
A commitment to blowing up the planet preemptively with “humanitarian nukes”, which are “safe for civilians” has become part of a political narrative. We recall Hillary Clinton’s statement during the 2016 election campaign:
“the nuclear option should not at all be taken off the table. That has been my position consistently.” (ABC News, December 15, 2015)
“A Nuclear War is Winnable”? Humanitarian Bombs
We recall Reagan’s earlier historic statement: “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. The only value in our two nations possessing nuclear weapons is to make sure they will never be used.”
Nonetheless, there are powerful voices and lobby groups within the US establishment and the Biden administration that are convinced that “a nuclear war is winnable”. Liz Truss is part of this dangerous consensus.
The focus of US military doctrine since the George W. Bush administration has been on the development of so-called “more usable nuclear weapons”.
George W. Bush’s 2001 Nuclear Posture Review, which was adopted by the US Senate in late 2002. envisaged the development of “a generation of more useable nuclear weapons.” namely tactical nuclear weapons (B61-11 mini-nukes) with an explosive capacity between one third and 6 times times a Hiroshima bomb.
The term “more usable” emanates from the debate surrounding the 2001 NPR, which justified the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the conventional war theater on the grounds that tactical nuclear weapons, namely bunker buster bombs with a nuclear warhead are, according to scientific opinion on contract to the Pentagon “harmless to the surrounding population because the explosion is underground.”
The cost of America’s “peace-making” nuclear weapons program is of the order of 1.3 trillion dollars, extending to $2 trillion in 2030.
And there is Big Money behind Jo Biden’s $1.3 trillion nuclear weapons program:
“But, what I don’t understand is this mad lunacy of killing and death, except it gives the corporations who make these weapons huge amounts of money. And it was Obama who agreed to spend 1.7 trillion dollars in the next 30 years replacing every single nuclear weapon, missile, ship, plane. And rebuild them all new ones, for what reason? No reason! It’s sheer nuclear madness. It’s nuclear lunacy!” (Helen Caldicott)
Of relevance to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, is the Biden Administration committed to the use of nuclear weapons as an instrument of peace?
Peace-making nuclear weapons have become a talking point among ignorant and corrupt politicians, who have been led believe that preemptive nuclear war is a humanitarian undertaking which protects democracy.
Flash Back. Another Liar and Ignoramus. It Started with Harry Truman
“We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark…. This weapon is to be used against Japan … [We] will use it so that military objectives and soldiers and sailors are the target and not women and children. Even if the Japs are savages, ruthless, merciless and fanatic, we as the leader of the world for the common welfare cannot drop that terrible bomb on the old capital or the new. … The target will be a purely military one… It seems to be the most terrible thing ever discovered, but it can be made the most useful.”
(President Harry S. Truman, Diary, July 25, 1945)
Remember Hiroshima: “A Military Base” according to Harry Truman
“The World will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima a military base. That was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, insofar as possible, the killing of civilians..” (President Harry S. Truman in a radio speech to the Nation, August 9, 1945).
[Note: the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945; the Second on Nagasaki, on August 9, on the same day as Truman’s radio speech to the Nation]
The Unthinkable: Mistakes are a Driving Force behind World History
“Offensive” military actions using nuclear warheads are now described as acts of “self-defense”.
An accidental nuclear war attributable to ignorant, stupid and corrupt politicians cannot be excluded.
The threat of an all-out nuclear war that can erupt very easily either due to deliberate actions of any nuclear weapons state or because of unintentional, human, technical or other mistake.
Do not vote for Ignoramus Liz who could lead Britain and the World into the unthinkable, a nuclear war which threatens the future of humanity.
Send Truss and Van der Leyen to the crazy azylum. Northoccidental capitalists or oligarchs, your skin, flash and bones are in danger.
These people can only bluff and nothing else. the status quo is too rewarding for them. No one will follow these deranged sick individuals anyway. No western unity and all those fairly tales.
She just trying to advance her politacal career, but the danger is indeed that she has no clue what she is talking about (it is a woman…) Not all woman are clueless but many are, thats why oligarks select them as head of state and Eu.. This been said, the brits are not even able to get their aircraft career working, so i wish them good luck for any kind of war against Russia
Women are picked because they are generally more compliant than men.
I agree.. Thats what i mean with “advance her political career”.. Its worst than compliant. They really have no idea what they re doing. I didnt look further but Finland PM looks like pole dancer whose only skill in not not in her head.
Liz Truss is absolutely the worst choice for PM in the UK. She is an ignoramus and a dangerous one at that. She is wet behind the ears and hasn’t a clue about world politics and geography. My only prayer is that if nuclear war breaks out, that Russia somehow manages to spare the ordinary populace and kills every last politician that supports this craziness we are witnessing. Sadly, this will not be possible. One can only hope that something untoward happens to prevent these idiots from leading Britain into the nuclear abyss. It will be hell on earth … LITERALLY!
Actually they are nearly all that ignorant and dangerous. The people selected for cabinet posts used to have at least some expertise in the area they were (allegedly) in control of but no more. Just observe how effortlessly they drift from one ministerial position to another, they are just mouthpieces for the people that really (mis)run the country. Sadly the bastards that will start WW3 will all be safe in their bunkers while we all die. In a sane world the government would not have the luxury of protection in a bunker, any government that leads its country to utter annihilation does not deserve to survive.
The White House and Brussels is sharing in Zelenskis drugs, that why they’ve gone looney tune!! 🤡👻
Thankfully politicians don’t run the world nor make serious decisions. The Venetian Black Nobility via the Jesuits and freemasons run things. Front organizations like the WEF, CFR, RIIR, UN, WHO etc convey the agenda via the media and government bureaucracies. Grifting ambitious idiots like Liz Truss are mere puppets put out front to keep up appearances. The real hidden rulers are no fools and are socially engineering a global totalitarian technocracy . This includes Russia and China even if a multipolar transitional phase is required to quell nationalistic opposition. We must all resist a digital ID and a digital currency for these are the end of freedom. Time to restore the Common Law and end usury.
I don’t think Liz Truss made a mistake, I think she meant from the Baltic allies all across to the Black Sea (i.e. from the Baltic states to Ukraine in the Black Sea), and also I don’t think she made a mistake by citing Rostov-on-Don, because this is an area that the UK/USA have promised Ukraine as “compensation” after they win WW III against Russia. So it wasn’t a mistake, it was a slip of the tongue.
Wars never happen by accident, they’re pre-meditated. Don’t you think the ones who truly rule Ukraine (not Zelensky, he’s just a puppet who signs presidential decrees when needed) planned all along to sacrifice some of the Ukrainian population in order to study Russian weapons and battle tactics in real time, and cause enough hate in Europe, so that the Europeans would accept going to war against Russia in a few years? The ones who rule Ukraine are the USA/UK (most probably Israel helps actively too).
Is this what they really meant when they talked about the Great Reset???
I’m thinking the west with its drive to destroy power generation in its own countries ,destroy farming = food supply , no ICE vehicles on the road ,want total totalitarianism, some of them western leaders might forgo totalitarianism for nuclear war , the effect will be the same but quicker, the green scum have been preaching genocide for decades.
Only good thing about nuclear war is that liz truss will be dead as well
So British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will be cowering in a bunker with her elitist conspirators while innocent men, women and children are vaporized?
