Russia has fitted its fleet with tactical nuclear weapons each within the North Sea and within the Atlantic. The US and NATO have satisfied themselves that they’ll destroy Russia and China and neither will report back to nuclear weapons. No person ever questions: What if we’re mistaken?
As soon as upon a time, it was PRESUMED that having nuclear weapons promoted peace. We wanted the nuclear arms race to advertise deterrence and thus peace. That concept is now utterly useless. Everybody has nuclear weapons and now they suppose no one will use them and we will now conquer international lands even when they’ve nukes. So why did we invade Iraq?
After having severe discussions concerning the “what-if” situation that Russia nukes a main metropolis in Ukraine justifying itself as did the US with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I discovered that there was no playbook for such an occasion and there stays nothing however disagreement as to how the U.S. would even reply. Macron has come out and acknowledged that France would NOT launch nuclear weapons if Russia nuked Ukraine. Macron shouldn’t be an insane neocon. If there was any retaliation, the cloud of nuclear fallout could be drifting over NATO nations in Western Europe. That may wipe out crop manufacturing and unleash additional meals shortages. We’d see as an alternative of a volcanic winter occasion, it might be a nuclear winter occasion.
Truly, most individuals don’t notice however throughout the Obama administration, they performed a struggle recreation simulating Russian use of nuclear weapons within the Baltics. Even again then, there have been basic disagreements about the way to reply. The US coverage is to overcome and destroy Russia. They know this. It has been the US demanding no peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. Below this proxy-war actuality, Russian navy doctrine printed since 2000 has envisioned the primary use of nuclear weapons in response to a traditional risk in a regional struggle. That is exactly what the US and NATO are finishing up proper now. Even Russia’s smallest nuclear warheads are many instances the explosive energy of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Russia nuking Ukraine has been talked about behind closed doorways for months. These within the navy arm have been warning the Biden administration for a number of months that Russia may very well be pushed right into a nook the place they are going to do the unthinkable. The Biden Administration “prefers” to suppose they’ll accomplish their finish aim with out nuclear weapons. These behind Putin would push the button within the blink of an eye fixed. They see that as a severe possibility and consider it might finish the struggle as did Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There isn’t any clear-cut situation. Many say it might rely in the event that they used a small nuke to wipe out Ukrainian troops somewhat than nuking a significant metropolis. The one factor that the Biden Administration appears to agree on is simply to extend the sanctions. That may solely additional divide the world financial system and enhance the probabilities of world struggle III. Different are saying that except a NATO nation was hit by Russia, then the U.S. wouldn’t have any obligation to reply.
This leaves the door open that maybe the ONLY solution to stall World Warfare III is to take nuclear motion in opposition to Ukraine in some measured method. With subs armed with supersonic nuclear missiles simply offshore of the USA, they may take out Washington DC earlier than Biden may even make it to a protected room. Maybe nuking Ukraine turns into the one solution to get up the inhabitants of Europe demanding to finish this warmongering. All they needed to do was honor the Minsk Settlement and Putin would don’t have any selection however to withdraw.
