Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
The invention of nuclear weapons was an act of total insanity. If the massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons are not dismantled and destroyed, sooner or later they will destroy planet Earth.
We have survived so far because the Cuban Missile Crisis awoke President Kennedy and Soviet leader Khrushchev to the danger of distrust between nuclear powers. For the remainder of the 20th century Washington and Moscow worked to defuse tensions and to build transparency and trust. Sufficient success was achieved to avoid false indications from warning systems showing incoming ICBMs from resulting in the launch of nuclear war.
Today there is no trust. In the 21st century all of the arms agreements hammered out over the decades of the Cold War have been abandoned, first by Washington and then in response by the Kremlin. The Soviet collapse in 1991 gave rise to the neoconservative doctrine of US hegemony, an assertion of American unilateralism, a claim of American supremacy. Such an absurd and unrealistic claim is totally inconsistent with the existence of nuclear weapons.
All trust has been erased. In the US Russia has been demonized to an unprecedented extent. It is so extreme that anyone who gives an objective analysis is branded a “Putin agent/dupe.” This makes realistic assessments impossible.
In Russia trust of Washington has been completely destroyed by broken promises, such as NATO will not move one inch to the East, broken arms agreements, deceit over the Minsk Agreement, and by Washington’s endless rejections of Russian requests for a mutual security agreement.
Today all it takes for the world to end is one false warning of incoming missiles.
It was Washington, not Russia, that created this situation, and nothing is being done about it. The world is content with the Sword of Damocles hanging by a thread over the planet.
Whenever I raise this most serious of all issues, a gaggle of idiots pronounce that nuclear weapons will never be used because there can be no winners. All the while Putin is warning that Washington and its NATO puppets are pushing Russia into nuclear war. There is no end of people too stupid to see the dire threat.
If Biden, the defense secretary, anyone in Washington had any sense, they would call Putin and declare that we need more than a mutual security agreement. We need to dismantle and destroy all nuclear weapons–the US, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, France and the UK. To demonstrate our newly acquired good intentions, Washington should announce that it is closing its worldwide network of illegal bioweapon research laboratories and abandoning its effort to substitute Washington’s self-serving “rule-based order” for established international law.
The notion that the US needs to defend against a Russian or Chinese invasion is an absurdity when the US is being overrun daily by immigrant-invaders. According to official numbers, immigrant-invaders recruited from 160 countries by NGOs financed with federal tax dollars are entering unopposed our country monthly in numbers equivalent to the population of Pittsburgh.
300,000 a month is 3.6 million a year. No one knows how many immigrant-invaders have entered our country, but the evidence is clear that the US is being colonized. The best guess is that 30 million illegals have taken up residence in the US. And this at a time when US manufacturing has been offshored and robotics is eliminating many remaining jobs. The influx is so great that even schools, airports and bus stations, and hotels are being turned into housing for immigrant invaders. There are reports that private businesses are being paid by state, local, and federal governments to provide housing for the immigrant-invaders. In other words, an invasion is being turned into a profit center for private businesses based on government tax dollars.
American property owners are finding themselves dispossessed by immigrant-invaders. A family can return from vacation to find immigrant-invaders, who cannot be evicted, occupying their home. Breaking and entering has been turned into an “owner-tenant dispute.” Rental property owners find rental units vacant between leases occupied by illegals who cannot be evicted. I have reported examples on this website.
American citizens are exploited in additional ways. They have to pay for schooling, health care, and prepaid credit cards given to illegals. The character of neighborhoods is erased. Crime multiplies. Liberals demand that illegals be given voting rights. California hires them as police officers. Members of Congress want to put the immigrant-invaders in the US military and use them to defend the country whose borders they have violated. As Washington refuses to oppose this invasion, why is Washington so concerned about a mythical Chinese or Russian invasion? The absurdity boggles the mind. America has been turned into a tower of babel.
We know for certain that Russia and China combined do not have armies approaching in size the immigrant-invaders overrunning our country. So, why are we only concerned about being invaded by Russians and Chinese or the UN, but not by the invaders we are actually experiencing, about which nothing is done?
Instead we are pursuing an aggressive foreign policy toward, Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran that is fomenting nuclear war. Washington’s aggression is a dire threat to the existence of life.
To comprehend the collapse in US-Russian relations, compare the warm reception given to the American pianist, Van Cliburn, in Moscow in 1958 when he won the international Tchaikovsky piano competition with the refusal today of Western orchestras to perform the music of Russian composers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9aKbfnMSrY
This Sunday morning brings news that Washington think tanks are now saying it is time for NATO troops to be sent to Ukraine or the West will suffer a catastrophic defeat. So, after all the denials, it is the West’s war against Russia. Perhaps Putin will take note.
Following the Vietnam pattern, the NATO troops will be used for logistics and support personnel, thereby freeing more Ukrainian soldiers for the front, but not themselves used in combat. It was through this door that the US ended up with 500,000 soldiers in Vietnam and still lost the war.
The US already has soldiers in Moldova where they are engaged in exercises with Moldovan soldiers. There is talk of Moldova joining the US in occupying Odessa, Ukraine’s last remaining position on the Black Sea. Once again it seems Putin’s lackadaisical way of fighting war has worked against him.
In Romania law changes are underway that allow Romanian soldiers to engage in offensive operations against countries that have not attacked Romania, and the Polish foreign minister is sending a mission to coordinate with Ukraine.
As it has since day one of Putin’s “limited military operation,” the war continues to widen. And dangerously. Perhaps for budget reasons, perhaps for civilian labor force needs, Putin has not raised an army sufficiently large to defend with conventional weapons the enormous length of Russia’s border with NATO. As attacks can come from the Arctic to the Black Sea and even from Georgia in central Asia, Russia is relying on nuclear weapons.
Putin was forced to intervene in Donbas, but it should have been done in a way that quickly ended the conflict and chilled any appetite for war with Russia.
Donald W. Miller, Jr., calls to our attention a new book by Annie Jacobsen titled Nuclear War: A Scenario: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2024/04/donald-w-miller-jr-md/facing-nuclear-war/
Read the article and the book and demand that Washington sober up before it gets everyone killed.

Putin has stated if Russia does not exist there is no reason for the world to exist. If Russia is attacked with nukes, he is willing to wipe out humanity. That should wake everyone up. He is not worried about mutual destruction, but all for it if Russia is losing.
As he should be.
Kruschev and Kennedy were both military men that saw action and men die.
There is no better example of a spineless coward to compare our so-called president to than the real deal himself, Joe Biden.
His daughter Ashley could probably testify to that….if she wants the DOJ to imprison her.
As Ron White says,”You can’t fix stupid.”.
The day after the last nuke is destroyed, the world will erupt in WWIII
Sorry to break it to you, but the world is already in WWIII. So far, only in the “warm” stage.
Cat’s out of the bag already. With nukes gone, individual country population mass would be the common denominator for military victory, and the low pop countries would say ” no thanks.”
The Zionists will destroy the world, so they can rule over the ashes….
Western conservative patriotic white people are the targets of all the myriad tentacles of theGreat Reset(New World Order).
They are working tirelessly for your demise.
You don’t have to declare them to be your enemy because they have already declared it loud and clear.
If you and yours plan to live, you had better arm up, gear up, train up, and supply up. They are coming for you, and they are serious about it. It’s you or them.
Let’s not forget who dropped the H bombs on Japan.
It is pure karma for that to expect yhe US to be nuked.
This is what the devil does: he tempts people to do evil, so they will be punished.
Demon kissinger demanded us to bomb the 2 most catholic cities in japan. It is what the devil does.
Either in this life before they die, if they still have a chance to pay up and get to heaven, free from karma. Or in Hell if they never do pay their katmic debts.
We will be lucky if we just get nuked 7 times before the end.
The problem with doing evil and then proudly ccslling it good, because it ended the war, is that there is no admission of the sins committed, so no redemption will come.
This is how the yiddish devils and yiddish illuminati, and all on the total side of evil do:
First phase is this: they see what the people of God have created and enjoy, as a resource to be used for their benifit.
Because the evil ones can’t create anything good to enjoy, they can only destroy, and take pleasure only in detruction.
When gentiles create great things, it comes from God through them.
So the devil envies and desires to take it all from them, they invade and play victim or best fruend and pretend they like you.
They lie and fake that they are really good people better than yhe gentiles.
They want all your resouces to take from you and destroy.
The second phase:
The evil ones with manipulation and lies, turn you into slaves, to be used to enrich themselves, they make you stop creating for yourselves, and you become a slave thst works no more to benifit yourself, but only to benifit them, they throw you some crumbs, because the devil is selfish, and greedy.
The evil pretend to share, so they can take all.
That occurs in the 3rd phase:
They kill you. They totally destroy youbas slaves until ypu have nothing left, are ruined, because of their greed and theft.
Then, because you know they tricked you, and can b
Nevet be trusted again, they kill you.
America is in the third phase right now.
Theses 3 phases happen in all personal relationships with evil people.
However when eviil people opperate as a group, such as the yids, and their freemason slaves, they do it to whole nations.
Not only will they destroy the US, but also all the western powers, and also after using Israel, China, and Russia as slaves, to killl in phase 3, the US and all the western powers, they will next kill Russia using China as a slave, then they will kill China.
What is important to them druing thsese 3 phases is to take as many souls to Hell as possible.
The souls they take are those who help them as accomplices in their evil opperations.
In the US, that is alot of people, especially all the judaeo Christian evangelicals.
The devil has feasted upon the US and the West for along time.
Evil has destroyed all that you previously had given to you by God. Now you are all the slaves of the devil: yids.
Now they want you all dead.
This is the end, and I think by now, you all can sense and smell and predict, what is coming.
It will get nuclear, and billions will die.
It is not really WW3, they call it that, but it is actually, just phase 3, of what the devil does.
Phase 4 is much worse: he gets to punish forever in Hell, all who contributed to his success.
Even if by some miracle US misleaders came to their senses, we still find ourselves in a tail wagging the dog scenario. Israel continues to goad the US into a war with Iran; while simultaneously the NeoCons try to salvage hope of Ukraine winning or at least not being totally defeated and humiliated by Russia. Meanwhile NATO creeps closer to engagement with Russia in Ukraine, there are already NATO member troops in Ukraine thus risking all out retaliation from Russia.
The US is actively provoking China in their backyard, so there appears to be every motive and intention to have a war , any war somewhere in the world to enrich the MIC and salvage the banksters’ global financial Ponzi scheme.
If these patterns don’t reverse soon, we will be engaged in multi-front wars the US cannot possibly win because it lacks the conventional forces and technology (we are totally dependent upon China for chips and rare earth minerals and Russia has destroyed the US Abrams and German tanks in use in Ukraine) to even attempt fighting a conventional war. https://www.politico.eu/article/usa-joe-biden-not-ready-war-of-great-powers-china-israel-ukraine-russia-iran-north-korea/ All the misanthropes have are tactical nukes, an obsolete navy, a declining military pilot corps, drones and missiles. Given their psychopathy don’t think the clowns in D.C. won’t use them to start a regional or global conflagration!
