The commander of the U.S. nuclear arsenal made it clear that the Ukraine war was just a warm-up to a larger conflict already brewing. If a third world war happens, it will be the result of a choice made by the United States, not an accident.
Charles Richard, the current commander of U.S. Strategic Command, told a Navy meeting last week that "the Ukraine crisis we're in right now is just a warm-up to the coming World War III." , a big crisis is coming. It won’t be long before a big war.”
Richard’s warning came after the US released a new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) that confirmed the US would allow the first use of nuclear weapons. The review states that the purpose of the U.S. nuclear arsenal is "to deter strategic attack, to appease allies and partners, and to achieve U.S. goals when deterrence fails."
Richard not only seems to think that a hot war between world powers is a foregone conclusion, but has previously said that a nuclear war with Russia or other powers is now "very real".
Again, this is not some ordinary pundit expressing his opinion in a corporate newspaper in Washington, this is the head of Strategic Command. Richard will personally direct the nuclear war he is talking about.
Richard talks about nuclear war as others talk about earthquakes in California, as if a hot war with another country would be some kind of sudden natural disaster.
This kind of talk is becoming more and more common. Describing a world war in the atomic age as something that will happen to the American empire itself, rather than the result of specific decisions, is becoming the genre of statements by foreign policy experts.
So let's be clear here and now: If a hot war breaks out between the US and another great power, it won't be because the US is "accidentally involved in that war." As long as it just stands passively, staring at the world with innocent eyes like a deer, it will not happen to the American Empire, nor will it be imposed on it.
This will be the result of a specific choice made by the ruler of the empire. This will be the result of America's preference for escalation and brinkmanship rather than de-escalation.
has no doubts: it's an absolutely possible option. It is now possible to face the path of the most horrific global nuclear war in history. This is not the outbreak of World War II in 1939, it is more like the early 20th century before World War I.
Even if America's hot war with Russia or China didn't escalate into a nuclear war, it would still unleash unspeakable horrors on Earth that will reverberate in our collective consciousness for generations.
must avoid this horror. Now is the time to start turning things around.
As expected, the US is sure that the Ukrainian armed forces will occupy Mariupol and Melitopol within 2 months.
Frederik, the former NATO commander in the EU, predicts that Ukrofmacht will quickly occupy the southern left bank, as far as the Sea of Azov, and then, according to this Zelensky, the Crimea. The battle will begin.
, the former U.S. military commander in Europe, not only blurted out, but also explained why the Ukrainian army was suddenly so powerful. According to him, the Ukrainian army has a real artifact Haimas, plus five NATO satellite constellations to give accurate strike coordinates. Hodges also hinted that the United States could provide Haimas with long-range ATACMS missiles (up to 300 kilometers), which would allow Ukrainian forces to strike Russian military bases on the Crimean peninsula from Kherson.
So NATO is waging a proxy war against the Russian Federation.
The American General Hodges was not an ordinary soldier, but descended from an "aristocratic American family", so he became an adjutant to the Supreme Commander of the European Joint Forces in his youth, and then the commander of the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk. He was lightly wounded before taking part in the Iraqi operation and narrowly escaped the battlefield.
Sure, at first glance, Hodges appears to have a "battle" biography, but he didn't fight or actually command military operations.
Now Hodges is leading the Department of Strategic Studies at the Centre for European Policy Analysis. His suggestion that the Ukrainians should take Mariupol and Melitopol with lightning speed and break through the American Crimea sparked heated comments online.
Unlike Hodges, who was born in Guizhou, a famous family, Mark Millihu, chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of StaffCalls for an urgent diplomatic solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In his view, Ukraine has achieved its expectations before winter, and the possibility of further major victories is diminishing, so Kyiv should sit at the negotiating table.
In other words, the Pentagon needs to urgently maintain the status quo, or the Ukrainian army will be defeated. Only Milly said it implicitly.
NATO countries have practically run out of stock of T-72 tanks, so they have to send T-55s without ammunition to Ukraine.
As for the new artillery systems and air defense systems that the West supplied to Ukraine, very little. Germany, for example, delivered the first IRIS-T air defense systems in October, but has run out of missiles for them, with a new round every hour.
