Lame duck “President” Joe Biden and his gang of neocon controllers, overcome by hatred of Donald Trump and the near certainty that, if they do not act now, the Ukraine War will soon be settled, have set in motion a process that could destroy the world in a nuclear Armageddon.
As everybody knows, Donald Trump wants to terminate the Ukraine war, and he wants to accomplish this by negotiating a settlement in which Ukraine would give up some disputed territory also claimed by Russia in return for a withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. Both sides would gain from this settlement, and a long and costly war would end.But brain-dead Biden hates Trump and still wants the pro-Nazi Zelensky regime to conquer Russia, thus preserving American world hegemony. Of course, this won’t happen, but brain-dead Biden has authorized the Ukraine to launch long range American missiles into Russia, and some have already been launched.
The Russians have warned that Russia is planning a response: “Russian officials on Monday furiously condemned President Joe Biden’s decision to permit Ukraine to use longer-range American missiles for limited strikes inside Russia, even as Russian missiles killed at least 21 people inside Ukraine in a pair of attacks. Though Russian President Vladimir Putin himself has yet to respond to another crossing of his ‘red lines’ by the West, his spokesman said the move added ‘fuel to the fire’ and tensions to the relationship.
‘This is a qualitatively new round of tension and a qualitatively new situation in terms of U.S. involvement in this conflict,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists in a Monday briefing. ‘It’s clear that the outgoing administration in Washington intends to take steps to, they’ve said so, to continue to add fuel to the fire and to further provoke the level of tension.’ Restrictions on allowing Kyiv to use the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, were eased . . .‘The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of conventional aggression against it,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Speaking in Rio de Janeiro, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said ‘the fact that ATACMS were repeatedly used against the Bryansk region last night is a clear signal that they want an escalation.’
Earlier on Tuesday, Ukraine’s military general staff said in a post on Facebook that its forces had ‘caused fire damage’ to ‘warehouses with ammunition for the army of the Russian occupiers,’ in the city of Karachev in Russia’s Bryansk region, just over 70 miles from the Ukraine border.”
If Putin’s response is to launch longer range missiles against our NATO “allies,” the situation could easily escalate, and he threatened to do just that on September 13: “Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned NATO alliance leaders that a move to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of longer-range Western missiles to strike deep inside his country would be considered an act of war.
‘This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us,’ Putin told reporters on Thursday.”
If Putin does so, America is committed to come to the aid of our NATO “allies.” According to Article 5 of the treaty establishing NATO in 1949, “In 1949, the primary aim of the North Atlantic Treaty – NATO’s founding treaty – was to create a pact of mutual assistance to counter the risk that the Soviet Union would seek to extend its control of Eastern Europe to other parts of the continent.
Every participating country agreed that this form of solidarity was at the heart of the Treaty, effectively making Article 5 on collective defence a key component of the Alliance.
Article 5 provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.
Article 5
“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.”
The situation might become a global nuclear war, which would have catastrophic consequences. In the opinion of David Hunter, a world-renowned expert who has taught at Harvard and Oxford, “If nuclear weapons were used today, there would be repercussions the world over. ‘Any substantial exchange of missiles—burning cities, burning forests—will lead to catastrophic results around the world,’ Hunter said. Nuclear winter—severe and prolonged global climate cooling likely to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war—would lead to agricultural failure, he said.
‘Everybody’s got a stake in this,’ Hunter said. “We somehow have to shame countries into doing better. Maybe by increasing consciousness and maybe getting back to marching in the streets, we can put pressure on the politicians to do the right thing.’
He added, ‘We also have to hope that humans have enough humanity that if somebody crazy wants to do something crazy, they won’t follow those orders.’”
Even if this scenario is averted, the American-made missile attacks are likely to harden Putin’s stance and make him more demanding in what he wants in a settlement. He will need to ensure that no such missile attacks occur again.
Let’s do everything we can to protest brain-dead Biden’s attempt to destroy the world, and let’s do everything we can to promote a peaceful American foreign policy, as we have learned from the great Murray Rothbard and the great Dr. Ron Paul.
