The question is -- what are we going to do about it? Abstract: - Excerpt: At this juncture the United States, using nuclear employment plans derived from a nuclear posture which emphasizes the pre-emptive use of low yield nuclear weapons to ] 'escalate to deescalate' i.e., force Russia to back down through a demonstration of capability -- would authorize the use of one or more low-yield nuclear warheads against Russian targets on Russian soil. But Russian doctrine has no capacity for engaging in a limited nuclear war. Instead, Russia would respond with a general nuclear retaliation targeting all of Europe and the United States. Whatever U.S. strategic forces that survived this onslaught would be fired at Russia. And then we all die. 72 minutes. And the world ends. We were one stroke of the pen away from this outcome on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024. This isn't a drill. This isn't an academic exercise. This is the real world. This is life or death. This is your future held hostage by a madman in Kiev, backed by lunatics in Europe. The question is -- what are we going to do about it? Subject Headings |
