Over the time of the Ukraine War, the rhetoric of nuclear warfare has intensified. Although Russia said, in the face of the controversy over some dirty bomb set to explode at some point in the Ukraine as a false flag, that they would not use nukes in this war, they also said that it was Russian policy to defend mother Russia if facing some sorts of existential threats, by all means available. Further, the Pentagon has raised the stakes in its new “National Defense Strategy.” Here, nukes could be used in the Ukrainian war even if Putin does not use them first. Nukes could be used in response to a non-nuclear strategic threat either to the “homeland” or to U.S. military forces and their allies abroad, which could mean anything. The Deep State, as Mike Adams correctly argues, has moved to a first strike policy. While he does not mention it, Russia and China have a similar policy, with an escalate to de-escalate policy. This sets the stage for a nuclear exchange, something can could be simply fallen into.
It is amazing that conservatives are not alarmed at this prospect and it is business as usual, with everyone going about doing their usual thing. But, things could change … radically.
