In this article I explain why I think nuclear war is in the cards. I know that most do not want to hear this. But if no one knows, there is even less chance of preventing it.

The headline yesterday (March 29) is “US To Withhold Nuclear Weapons Data From Russia As Last Treaty Collapses.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-withhold-nuclear-weapons-data- russia-last-treaty-collapses

Washington’s propagandists, of course, blame Russia. This succeeds with patriots who wrap themselves in the flag, but it doesn’t succeed with the Kremlin. The Kremlin sees Washington taking another step toward war to obliterate the Russian obstacle to Washington’s world hegemony.

Looking at Russia’s puzzling conduct of its conflict with Ukraine, and now with NATO and the US, I have been seeking an explanation that makes sense. Why, as readers know I have been asking, does the Kremlin refuse to use the force to quickly end the conflict before Washington and its NATO puppets become too involved to let go? It made no sense until I realized that the Kremlin has been convinced by Washington’s neoconservatives that war with the US is inevitable, which, of course, means nuclear war.

The Kremlin is likely concerned that if Russia uses the conventional force at her disposal to knock out Ukraine, the result could be a US/NATO direct intervention prior to Russia having in place larger numbers of its hypersonic nuclear missiles and its S-500 and S-550 air defense systems which have the ability to intercept and destroy Washington’s nuclear missiles. Unlike Russia’s hypersonic missiles that randomly change course and cannot be intercepted, Washington’s technically inferior missiles can be downed.

My conclusion is that the Kremlin, convinced by Washington’s neoconservatives and their domination of every US government in the 21st century that the US intends the destruction of Russia, is preparing for nuclear war. Several times Putin has made the public statement that it is clear that the West intends Russia’s destruction. It is incomprehensible that Washington is so reckless, so irresponsible, so utterly stupid as to have convinced the Kremlin that Washington intends Russia’s destruction. It is extraordinary that Putin’s statements produced no reassurances from the White House.

When Russia is prepared, the US and the capitals of its NATO puppets face annihilation.

Try to comprehend the enormous failure of US foreign policy to have led Russia to such a desperate conclusion. Here you can see the consequence of the hubris and arrogance, of which I have written at length, of the totally unrealistic neoconservatives who have control of US policy.

I don’t see any way out of this. The neoconservatives have control of all the principal agencies of government–the National Security Council, the Pentagon, the Department of State. They control the US media, the think tanks, and the foundations. Not even the Republicans oppose them. Republican Senator Jim Risch, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, declared on March 29 that “I’m all in for escalation” of the conflict in Ukraine. If the US doesn’t escalate, Risch says, we will lose. It is about winning or losing, not about surviving. Clearly Risch indicates that Congress has no concept of the real risk in the situation. https://sputniknews.com/20230329/us-senator-risch-says-he- supports-us-escalation-with-russia-to-win-ukraine-conflict- 1108938498.html

The Kremlin has sized it up and is preparing to eliminate the enemy that intends the destruction of Russia.

What can be done? The Kremlin no longer believes or trusts Washington, so no assurances that this is all a mistake, even if forthcoming, would be believed by the Russians.

Perhaps if every neoconservative was fired from the government, Russophobic think tanks closed, and the military/security complex permitted a president to be elected who immediately went to Moscow, agreed to the restoration of all the broken agreements and pulled NATO off of Russian borders, nuclear war could be prevented.

But can you imagine Washington doing such a thing? It would require leadership that Americans have not seen for a very long time. It would require comprehension in Congress and in the public, and there is no media or experts to instill comprehension.

Enjoy your life. Quit worrying about the future. The neoconservatives have assured that you don’t have one.

Yet that’s the Nuland/Vindman/Max Boot/Bill Kristol gamble.

Fucking lunatics.

I worry about my Godson and his little girl. With de-dollarization coming, nuclear annihilation might be merciful.

“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone.
TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy…
but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

The future was destroyed by the boomers, whose parents fought a senseless war against a contrived enemy created by the bankers, who used genocide to further their power. The game here isn’t that we as a country don’t have a future. It’s whether or not we want one, where these monsters are in control.

Do you want to live in a world where you have absolutely no real sense of choice, where everything is owned by less than a percent of a percent of the people on earth?

There’s one cabal of about 1600 people, whose minions run the world for them, and with A.I. that number will be smaller and smaller.

It’s the same story told over and over throughout human history. We get about 4000 years and then things collapse into a shit show. It’s looking like things are heading that direction. We don’t have a future here, because our future was sold for prosperity in the here and the now in order to keep the lies alive. China and Russia are the future. They have used our corrupt leaders to feed us a steady stream of evil while they’re made their children live with love of country in their hearts. Ask anyone here if they love this country, or love the people in it, and you will find the majority do not. They don’t love their country because we have been taught to for decades. America was never great. That was Barack Obama saying that. That fumblefuck Bush II screeching about the constitution just being a piece of paper. Clinton lying about his getting a hummer in the White House. Bush I lying us into the first gulf war. Reagan leading our country against the Russians not knowing that all of his cronies were propagating more wars for us to fight down the line. The list goes on and on.

Our nation has for the last 70 years been on a war footing because there’s plenty of profit in peace, but it’s not what the people respond to. We respond to threats and we are galvanized and united when there is always a threat. Which is why the lies about Ukraine aren’t going away any time soon. “Duhmocracy” is all the rage these days.

We don’t have a democracy, we are supposed to have a republic. I can pinpoint the day that the word Democracy came into the lexicon of the communists. The day that Lucasfilm pushed Episode One out the door into theaters. 1999. that was when the shit went live. Every thing after that was Democracy This, and Democracy That.

It’s all bullshit. Let the country fall apart and die I say. Then when these liars find out what comes next, we can see the rebirth of the United States.

“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
