US Nuclear Forces Chief Says ‘the Big One Is Coming’

Guest Post by Dave DeCamp

The head of US Strategic Command called the war in Ukraine a ‘warmup’ for what is to come

The commander that oversees US nuclear forces delivered an ominous warning at a naval conference last week by calling the war in Ukraine a “warmup” for the “big one” that is to come.

“This Ukraine crisis that we’re in right now, this is just the warmup,” said Navy Adm. Charles Richard, the commander of US Strategic command. “The big one is coming. And it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested [in] a long time.”

Richard’s warning came after the US released its new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), which reaffirms that the US doctrine allows for the first use of nuclear weapons. The review says that the purpose of the US nuclear arsenal is to “deter strategic attacks, assure allies and partners, and achieve US objectives if deterrence fails.”

The NPR says the US “would only consider the use of nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the United States or its Allies or partners.”

The NPR was released with the 2022 National Defense Strategy that names China as the “most comprehensive and serious challenge” to the US and describes Russia as an “acute threat.” The document, as with the previous 2018 National Defense Strategy, makes clear that the US military is preparing for future conflicts with both China and Russia.

As the head of STRATCOM, Richard had previously warned that the risk of nuclear war with Russia and China is a “real possibility.” He said last year that the US military must “shift its principal assumption from ‘nuclear employment is not possible’ to ‘nuclear employment is a very real possibility,’ and act to meet and deter that reality.”

The Nuclear Posture Review calls for the modernization of the nuclear triad, which could cost up to $1.5 trillion, and keeping tensions high with Russia and China helps justify the massive price tag. Richard said last week that the US needs to put more resources into competing with China’s military.

Congress is looking to spend big on arming Taiwan, with a plan to give the island $10 billion in military aid included in the Senate’s version of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. While done in the name of deterrence, China’s actions and rhetoric make it clear that more US support for Taiwan will make war in the region more likely.

Dr. Strangelove has taken control. We would be wise to remember the words of President Kennedy when he spoke at the commencement ceremony at American University in June of 1963:

“I have, therefore, chosen this time and this place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived–yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace.

What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children–not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women–not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.

speak of peace because of the new face of war. Total war makes no sense in an age when great powers can maintain large and relatively invulnerable nuclear forces and refuse to surrender without resort to those forces. It makes no sense in an age when a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all the allied air forces in the Second World War. It makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried by wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn.”

If the election losses appear to be so great the little demon elves cannot manufacture enough fake paper ballots to turn the red tide, I fully expect the ultimate desperate act of a madman and his evil minions.

I’m beginning to wonder if the real objective of all of this Great Reset is the final German solution as envision by Deep Shekels post WWII?
Deep Shekels has boner for Germany since at least 1917 and further back , O’m sure.

Stalin’s War
Sean McMeekin

Why shooting Germans was US Treasury business was not
obvious. Nonetheless, that this was considered Treasury business
by summer 1944 is clear in the historical record. Somehow, in the
aftermath of the Allied landings at Normandy, which brought the
prospect of Germany’s final defeat in sight, a long-running policy
discussion in the Treasury on how to administer the German
economy after the war morphed into an open-ended revenge
fantasy. During the same meeting at which he and White spoke of
death quotas for captured Germans, Morgenthau also proposed “the
complete shut-down of the Ruhr [industrial area]” in terms clearly
designed to inflict maximum human suffering: “Just strip it. I don’t
care what happens to the population.… I would take every mine,
every mill and factory and wreck it… steel, coal, everything. Just
close it down. I am for destroying it first and we will worry about the
population second.… Why should I worry about what happens to [the
German] people?”3

The tribe has had a massive hate for both Russians and Germans … and it goes back to WW1 (against the Germans) and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 … in advance of which more than 90,000 jews returned to Russia to wage war against the Russian people — just like they’re doing today via their members in positions of power in the US and England and elsewhere …

Fine words from a fine man .Unfortunately his corrupt father made a deal with the devil withe the mob in Shitcago. He was an idealist who was killed by God knows exactly who but it did let the military industrial complex to go wild in Vietnam. Also that craven fuck Johnson was put in there and passed all the legislation which has destroyed this country for almost 60 years. He supposedly said these niggers will vote democrat for the next 200 years.

WAR PIGS:

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord, yeah

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah

Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah

Asheville’s mayor, Esther Manheimer, said reaction in Asheville was almost universal. “We’re a very progressive city,” she said.
Mannheim exudes her city’s principal characteristic; a mountain-town independence and forthrightness. “Look,” she said. “Any politician who starts talking about ‘bathrooms’ has already lost.”

This is just another reason they had to get the business man out of the WH and put back in a lifetime politician. Unless you are in the arms business, war is bad for business. It disrupts supply chains and the free flow of capital. Trump, for all his faults, knew that we could have formed more strategic alliances with Russia to use their resources and our tech to make lots of money for everyone. That was his main point for brokering peace in the Middle East. Let’s all make money, people.
And it worked. But by doing that, it caused more freedom for the “unwashed masses” with more money in their wallets. The fucking elites couldn’t have that! Common people with more money? OUR MONEY?!?
And even greater than that was the loss of power. Less people dependent on Big Gov for their every need means less power for the psycho’s like Soros, Schwab, Harari(especially! Little fuck), Gates, Rothschilds, Rockfeller, Clinton, etc. etc.
And so here we are again. On the precipice of a war we neither want or need, to line a very few pockets and lessen our freedoms.
But hey, they provide bread and circus’s.
So I got that going for me.
Which is nice

Stay aware and be prepared

racer- I noticed that you left out a name from your list. Who gave us the shit shot at WARP SPEED? You know, “The beautiful shots”. Who hired Fauchi in the first place to head the genocide and destruction of the country? A business man would know that shuttering small business while you left the BIGS open would decimate them. ARE YOU SURE we are talking about a business man here?

Fauci has been guiding Disease Disaster Agency since Reagan.

I saw it as checkmate. Trump had just finished being politically lynched by worthless Congress for some tenuous BS. So, the Deep Swamp made Donnie an offer he couldn’t refuse. Could have MSM charge him with murder (and get Dealey Plaza exposure) for every subsequent cv19 “death” IF he didn’t gently facilitate a free reign of health ghoul money grubbing, vaxx19 child sacrifice, YT humiliation, and small biz decimation. Trump did counter by maneuvering Mike Pence into being responsible for Fausti’s Folly but to no avail. That receives little examination or alt-press follow-up.

Trump’s character weakness to be everybody’s friend and protector would now be exploited to the hilt. Wish he had courage for principled self-destruction, but alas, few do.

The Donald spared us from having to endure soul-blighting, sociopath HRC’s flying monkeys everyday for four years (leading us into a slam-bam Armageddon), and that exceeded my modest expectations. But personally, don’t think he should continue wasting our dwindling time with further politics-whoring.

“And it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested [in] a long time.”

The test isn’t the major problem, it’s the Judeo-Shekel fags administering the test that we should worry about.

““would only consider the use of nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the United States or its Allies or partners.””

hahahaha

“vital interests” …. that could be ANYTHING ‘Murika wants it to be.

Whose “vital interests”? Ours. OR allies. OR partners. That’s most of the world, I believe.

Bottom Line: We can nuke anyone we want, for any fucken reason, and whenever the fuck we feel like it. Tis great to be a Superpower!!!

And now we’re giving Taiwan $10 Billion? Fuck that. You wanna start WWIII just give Germany or Austria $50 Billion. They’ll start one within a few months.

I remember when our so called leaders would say US will never do a first nuclear strike. Now, hey well we may have to because you know vital interests, security, etc. Reminds me of when the government took all of our rights away after 9/11 because you know vital interests, security etc. The governments concern for our vital interest and security is going to get us all killed.
