If the Biden regime succeeds in provoking Putin, how will Russia retaliate?
No, it’s not likely Russia will nuke us but why test them with such a stupid and dangerous trick? Yes, Biden is hysterical, wants to win in November. Here’s how Russia could retaliate.

STRIKES ON RUSSIA’S "NUCLEAR EYES". "THE STAKES ARE RISING." WASHINGTON WILL BE FORCED TO ANSWER "TO THE FULLEST" - ROGOZIN
Information is coming from the enemy that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have dealt a direct blow to one of the most important components of Russian nuclear security - in fact, to Russia’s “nuclear eyes.” Senator Dmitry Rogozin was the first to speak out on this matter, noting that the enemies will have to respond “to the fullest.” Experts agree that right now, “the stakes are rising.”
Unprecedented escalation. Were they silent for two days?
Earlier, Kiev embarked on an unprecedented escalation. A drone struck a missile attack warning station in Armavir, Voronezh oblast. Ukrainians happily shared the video of the drone approaching and hitting the object on the Internet. The Russian Ministry of Defense does not comment and does not in any way confirm the fact of an attack on the country’s nuclear shield facility.
Let us recall that earlier Ukrainian military bloggers published photos of damaged antennas of the Voronezh-DM radar in the Krasnodar Krai. As is known, long-range over-the-horizon radar stations of the Voronezh family are part of the missile attack warning system (MAWS), their goal is early detection of the launch of ballistic nuclear missiles. Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces dealt a direct blow to one of the most important components of Russian nuclear security - in fact, to Russia’s “nuclear eyes.”
As Novorossiya reports, the attack on a strategic Russian facility was hushed up for two days.
The first who decided to speak out after photos of damaged radar towers appeared on social networks was Senator Dmitry Rogozin.
He accused the United States of involvement in the drone attack on the radar station and recalled that the station in Armavir is part of the Russian Nuclear Deterrence Force. According to Moscow's military doctrine, an attack on this facility could become a reason for Moscow to use nuclear weapons.
According to Rogozin, “it can be assumed that Kiev struck on Kiev’s own initiative.”
However, given Washington’s involvement in the conflict, this version, convenient for the United States, can be discarded.
Now Washington will have to respond “to the fullest.” We are not even on the threshold, but already on the edge, beyond which the collapse of the strategic security of nuclear powers will begin, summed up Dmitry Rogozin.
Let us note once again that there has been no official confirmation from Russia regarding these strikes. The attack on the station in Armavir could also be a fake by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, experts do not rule out.
But “if this is so” and the strike was carried out, this was an escalation of the nuclear conflict that the world has never seen.
“Russia now has completely different plans”
Meanwhile, the attack on the Russian strategic radar station in Armavir drew attention in the West. Foreign journalists are discussing what Russia's reaction will be and how this will affect the situation around the Ukrainian conflict. According to War Zone, the strike is allegedly confirmed by satellite images taken by Planet Labs on May 23.
Armavir is home to ultra-high frequency radars, part of Russia's early warning system for nuclear ballistic missiles. This is the first attack on a facility associated with Russia's strategic defense, foreign experts indicate.
Western analysts recalled that a strike on Armavir could meet the conditions that the Russian government included in 2020 in the list of steps that could provoke a retaliatory nuclear strike. They recalled that on the eve of the strike, exercises of Russia's non-strategic nuclear forces began.
[Ok, this strike on the nuclear warning system could, based on Russian military doctrine, apparently provoke a Russian nuclear strike. And let us recall, it was western leaders, notably slimeball David Cameron, who invited Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike deep inside Russia, as they have done. Now since this will legally allow Russia to strike back with nukes, what might such retaliation consist of? Well, the strike would have to be designed to rule out a counter-strike to the greatest possible extent. To accomplish this, we can imagine that Russia would have to first beef up Russia’s air defenses around important cities and also around all early warning systems like the one at Armavir that was reportedly hit. There are about a dozen such sites. They would also have to beef up air defenses around important government sites in Moscow and cities like Kaliningrad, Petersburg, and a whole host of others both in the east and in Siberia. Then it would be important to start up the jammers at least just before firing off the nukes. Then just ahead of the strike, Russia would want to shoot down all the known western military satellites. All identifiable Western nuclear-armed subs in the world would also have to be tracked down and neutralized, with tactical weapons, preferably with crews spared. All Western aircraft carriers would have to be neutralized simultaneously with this, again, with tactical weapons, to reduce the radioactive fallout around the planet. No need to sink them. All known major US bases around the world would be neutralized, preferably with tactical nukes. All US government buildings, including the White House, Congress, the Pentagon, the CIA HQ, either with tactical nukes or multiple missiles or kamikaze drones, and possibly the residences of known Neocons such as Nikki Haley, the Obamas, Lindsay Graham, VICTORIA NULAND, Bill Burns, Antony Blinken, Joe Biden (if living), Emmanuel Macron’s HQ, David Cameron’s home and HQ, assorted prominent Ukronazis, the NYT and other toxic newspapers and think tanks, the NATO HQ and EU complex, all US top military command posts in the world, all major arms company HQs, and the venues of all the most dangerous officials involved with the US military or NATO. Russia would also determine what other venues and individuals would have to be liquidated to make the world safe for the multipolar world order]
Let us remind you that the Voronezh-DM radar is a long-range over-the-horizon radar, it is designed to detect space and aerodynamic objects, ballistic and cruise missiles. The station was built from 2009 to 2013, it is capable of detecting targets at a distance of up to 6,000 km. In total, there are about ten such complexes in Russia, each of which is unique. [Later reports are that the damage was minimal. Unconfirmed]
Most likely, this egregious situation, as usual, will be put on hold. Russia now has completely different plans, and open escalation could seriously disrupt them, according to political scientist Alexey Belov.
However, the expert did not rule out that the current American leadership wants this incident to become the impetus for moving to a new level of confrontation between Russia and NATO.
However, we now “cannot handle a showdown with America and NATO over a drone attack on a radar station in Armavir,” the expert concluded.
As the telegram channel “Fighterbomber” reports, “if the information about an attempt to attack our next over-the-horizon radar is correct, then it becomes clear that these attacks are not accidental.” The author of the article believes that Kiev doesn’t care about radars.” [In other words, it is more likely that the US-NATO is behind this strike. After all, if the US can take out this very important radar station, it will be more able to make a nuclear strike on Russia. It is unthinkable that this would occur even to the most insane Neocon]
“They do not threaten anyone at all, they interfere with countries that have intercontinental missiles with nuclear warheads and are planning their nuclear strike on the territory of Russia (or third countries),” he clarified, concluding that “the stakes in the game are rising.”
Ukrainian hands are used
Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, in an interview with Tsargrad, pointed out a nuance that is being ignored.
“First we need to find out where the information came from. The information came from Ukrainian sources. I specifically applied now at the site of the government of the Krasnodar Territory, went to the account of Veniamin Kondratyev, the governor of Kuban. Not a single piece of information, not a single photograph about this incident has been posted,” said this source of the "First Russian" - The first thing to do is to understand whether this is isinformation in the media, they drew this picture, planted it so that, as they say, they could pull some kind of pin and play into the hands of the enemy. In this nuclear game there are no winners, there are only losers when it comes to powers such as Russia and the United States,” the expert noted.
That is, before rushing to threaten us with a nuclear cudgel, the expert advises us to look into the source of information, to find out whether this is not disinformation.
If the strikes were really carried out, quickly convene the UN Security Council and make a very important statement that the situation is simply getting out of control and Russia can have a free hand with nuclear weapons, said the expert.
Military expert, former US Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik, in an exclusive interview with Tsargrad, noted that the American goal is “to reduce the ability and preparedness of the Russian strategic armed forces, in this case nuclear.” And in order to achieve this American goal, Ukrainian hands are used.
Military expert Viktor Litovkin expressed his own opinion about the incident in Armavir (remember, it has not yet been officially confirmed) in a conversation with Constantinople. The expert believes that Ukraine and hardly the United States are behind this single drone strike. He is also confident that the nuclear defense was not damaged as a result of the drone hitting the station. The fact is that, according to Litovkin, it is not critical and has nothing to do with nuclear safety.
“This is a missile attack warning station. In our country, such stations are overlapped by other similar stations. It operates in this way: when an enemy missile takes off and flies towards Russia, this station determines where it will fly, its trajectory, and, well, the point of impact. We probably have 12 stations along the country’s borders. Therefore, of course, damage at one of the stations is bad, but it is not critical,” the expert believes.

MOSCOW, May 27 - RIA Novosti. The crews of Su-34 aircraft attacked units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of responsibility of the Vostok group, the Russian Ministry of Defense told reporters and provided a video of the bombers in action.
“The flight personnel of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) on Su-34 aircraft completed a flight mission to strike airborne weapons against units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the air defense zone,” the military department said in a statement.
It is noted that the bombing was carried out at the enemy command post and manpower in the zone of responsibility of the Vostok group of forces, and the strike was delivered by high-explosive aircraft bombs with a universal glide and correction module.
“After successfully completing the mission, having received confirmation of the destruction of important objects, the crews returned to the departure airfield,” the Ministry of Defense said.

Ukrainian media are publishing a video of the Russian Armed Forces attacking the positions of Kiev regime troops near Liptsy in the north of the Kharkov region with guided aerial bombs (KAB).
“According to public reports, the Russian Federation is now using the following tactics: reconnaissance using drones, then strikes with KABs in order to destroy the fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, then an attempt to storm them with infantry supported by attack drones,” writes the telegram channel Politika strany.
As EADaily reported, during the attack on Chasov Yar, the Russian Armed Forces used guided aerial bombs, simply leveling the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the ground. This was stated by the commander of the unmanned aerial vehicle unit of the 92nd assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, senior lieutenant Yuriy Fedorenko with the call sign Achilles, The New York Times wrote.

If I didn’t say this earlier, I must say it now: Please keep up with the very thorough well-researched video presentations of Alexander Mercouris on the situation in Ukraine
Today, following his excellent analysis of the battlefront, Alexander tells us what Putin told his government officials about the massive increase in military production, which dwarfs all Western production combined. Increases during the period from 2021 to 2023:
Amount of increase
Missiles: 50x
Electronic warfare and recon: 40x
Vehicles: 7x
Aviation equipment: 4x
Tanks and armored vehicles: 3.5x
So after a few months in the first year of the war, the war criminals in Washington and in media wanted us to believe the Russians were “running out of missiles.” But even if that had been so, it would have been irrelevant because missile production increased 50x per year up to the end of 2023!
And they kept up the lies until just a few months ago and now it is crystal clear that Russia is winning hands down.
And instead of just accepting the truth, the Biden regime is getting hysterical and is encouraging the Ukronazis to attack deep inside Russia, resulting in a nuclear war threat.
HOW can any American trust Washington after all these now-debunked lies?
And yet, the US empire still thinks it can control the world.

Deploying troops into Ukraine would be the stupidest thing NATO could do
Yet member states are putting forward this possibility
MAY 27, 2024
It’s just another day of mixed messages about whether the lunatics in charge really want to start World War III. Trying to decipher this is mentally draining and I suspect that is the point. I suspect they want to keep the public confused and fearful as much as they do Putin. Fearful people are easier to control.
It’s hard to know exactly what is a bluff and what is for real, but it’s now being reported that if Ukraine faces a sudden collapse, certain NATO member states will send troops to Ukraine, presumably to fight Russia. Even if it were just to train Ukrainians, those foreign troops would become Russian targets.

Schiller Institute Press Release: RED ALERT: Ukrainian Strike on Russian Early Warning Radar Threatens To Unleash Nuclear World War
EIR NEWS

Hiroshima Memorial, Photo by Roger H. Goun. CC3.0
Over the course of Wednesday night and Thursday morning [May 22-23], Ukrainian drones struck the Armavir Radar Station in Russia’s southwestern Krasnodar Krai region, a part of Russia’s early warning radar system designed to detect an incoming ICBM attack. This radar is one of the pillars in Russia’s nuclear posture system which, along with other such installations, plays an existential role in the strategic security of the Russian Federation. Far beyond escalating tensions with Ukraine alone, this attack has now brought the world another step closer to the verge of a thermonuclear war.

Here’s another cheap shot from the Israeli pro-genocide propaganda campaign
I received the following text by email with no link. We keep hearing from the pro-genocide media that all protest against the Israeli genocide are motivated by anti-Semitism. In other words, we are to believe that no one would normally oppose genocide unless they hate Jews. Now they are inventing stories to corroborate this LIE. I later found this in a rabid Zionist screed https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/306739
'Kill the Jews': Arab mob attacks pro-Israel rally in Illinois
Arab mob crashes pro-Israel rally in Illinois, torching Israeli flag, attacking demonstrators, and calling for massacre of Jews..
Arutz Sheva Staff

Anti-SemitismIllinois
A pro-Israel rally held outside of Chicago over the weekend was crashed by a mob of Arab protesters who attacked the pro-Israel demonstration and called for the slaughter of Jews.
The incident occurred on Sunday in downtown Naperville, a city of roughly 150,000 less than 30 miles west of Chicago.
Dozens of Israel supporters gathered outside of city hall Sunday to express support for the Jewish state, before marching through downtown Naperville, organizers said. [May I point out that many of the pro-Palestine protests have had thousands in attendance, and some had a million or more. Pro-Israel protests are pro-genocide and that just doesn’t sell]
In the week leading up to the event, the Instagram account created for the march received over 1,300 comments containing vile anti-Semitism, hate speech, calls for violence at the event, and death threats toward the organizers said Daniel Raab, one of the people behind the rally.
Raab said that a counter-demonstration, dubbed the “Naperville Protest for Palestine”, was later planned, “with the explicit intention to intimidate the Jewish run rally and march onto city hall to confront the 50 Jews and allies gathered for Israel. Violent intentions were expressed as the goal of the confrontations.” [so you’re upset that genocide doesn’t sell?]
The pro-Israel gathering was interrupted when multiple trucks filled with men waving Palestinian flags drove by, swearing at the attendees and yelling “Free Palestine”.
Police then rushed the marchers through downtown Naperville after a suspicious package was spotted on the route [why not tell us what the package contained?], with the marchers facing constant harassment from the Arab mob.
Authorities eventually cut short the pro-Israel event, saying they were unable to secure the rally from the pro-Palestinian demonstrators. [Wait. There are cops all over the country arresting pro-Palestine students. How is this possible? There are very few actual Arabs in the US, so where did all the Arabs come from? I have friends from many Muslim countries, and they do NOT hate Jews, they hate Zionism. And if their point was to influence people, as is usually the case with protesters, why would they speak Arabic? That is really bizarre.
I find this whole story really fishy. I think this was concocted to make gullible Americans think all pro-Palestine protesters are Jew haters. Everyone knows Jew hate is not the motive. The motive has always been to stop the genocide]
“We returned to City Hall with one hour left for our event and the police informed us they were shutting us down due to the risk to our lives that the Naperville Protest for Palestine numbering in the hundreds were on their way and that they could no longer keep us safe. We quickly packed up and began evacuating from City Hall,” said Raab.
The anti-Israel demonstrators called not only for the destruction of Israel, but also the slaughter of Jews.
“We could hear the mob chanting while they marched toward us ‘From the river to the sea Palestine will be free’, ‘Intifada Intifada long live the Intifada’, and ‘Khyber Khyber ya Yahood, Jaish Muhammed sa Yahood,’” said Raab. “They were cursing at us and saying to ‘kill the Jews’.” [I suspect these thugs were paid by pro-Israel scammers to make the real pro-Palestinians look bad. BTW, why would there happen to be an observer there who happened to understand Arabic?]
“When we evacuated a car with four teenage boys, one Jew and three non-Jews from the Walk for Israel got caught in the mob at a traffic light. They were surrounded by the mob with people jumping on and into their car, spitting and punching.” [How would this writer know who was a Jew and who was not?]
The Arab mob also stole an Israeli flag and burned it, while attacking the organizers of the event as they tried to drive away.

The Washington Post: The Court of Justice’s decision increases Washington and Tel Aviv’s isolation
The contradiction in the American position became blatant, after it remained silent after the International Court of Justice ordered the occupying entity to comply with its obligations. The American newspaper The Washington Post noted that “the ruling works to further isolate Israel - and the United States, as its main military and diplomatic backer - from world public opinion.” She considered in a report translated by the Trench website, “We must all realize that this has turned in a very negative direction, and that the United States has become very isolated because people have begun to equate its support with aiding and abetting illegal action.”
[The following is our back-translation of the WaPo text translated into Arabic]
Translated text:
The United States, which prides itself as a world leader in human rights and international law, was conspicuously silent on Friday after the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to comply with its “obligations” under the Genocide Convention and “immediately cease its attack” in Rafah.
The absence of any public statement from the Biden administration was a stark contrast to an almost identical ruling by the International Court of Justice in March 2022, ordering Russia to “immediately suspend military operations” it had just begun in Ukraine. Noting that the court “plays a vital role in the peaceful settlement of disputes under the UN Charter,” the Foreign Ministry welcomed the order and called on Moscow to comply.
The US administration strongly rejected any comparison between the two cases, noting that one began with an attack on Israel by a terrorist group and the other with an unjustified invasion by a UN member state into another country.
Instead of issuing a statement about the Israeli decision, the National Security Council authorized spokespersons to respond to any questions with one sentence: “We have been clear and consistent about our position on Rafah.”
This position—that the Israeli invasion of Rafah was a “limited” incursion to root out remaining Hamas fighters while avoiding undue harm to civilians, and to free some 100 living and dead Israeli hostages who remain captive—is inconsistent with the ICJ’s conclusion that Rafah is a “change in status.” Since its last warning earlier this year that Israeli actions in Gaza risk genocide.
The court, a branch of the United Nations, has no mechanism to implement its orders, which must be voted on by the UN Security Council, where the United States has veto power. Some international law experts have described the ICJ's order as less than binding in any case, because under the court's own rules, the outcome remains "provisional" until there is an evidentiary hearing on the merits of the charges brought against it by South Africa. This process may take at least a year.
But even without substantive impact, the ruling further isolates Israel — and the United States, as its main military and diplomatic backer — from global public opinion.
“We should all realize that this has turned in a very negative direction, and that the United States has become very isolated because people have begun to equate its support with aiding and abetting illegal action,” said Harold Hong-Ju Koh, professor of international law at Yale Law School and former legal adviser to the Department of State. State Department in the Obama administration.
“Remember, the 13 countries in the majority of the 15-member court’s decision include key countries in the European Union, in addition to the Middle East and Africa,” Koh said. “The White House cannot ignore the political message this sends.”
"It threatens to put the United States on the wrong side of international law," he said.
The two dissenting votes in court came from Julia Sibotend, a Ugandan jurist, and from Israeli President Aharon Barak, the former president of the Israeli Supreme Court. Barak claimed, according to a written summary from the court, that the order was “qualified” and did not prevent Israel from continuing its attack because, among other things, there was “no evidence of intent” to commit genocide. He also argued, as the court acknowledged, that it was Hamas that started the war with its attack on Israel on October 7. He said: “Against this background, the court cannot order one party to stop, while the other party is free to continue.”
But much of the rest of the world doesn't see it that way. Even before the ICJ ruling, the European Union urged Israel to stop the Rafah attack, warning that its continuation “will inevitably put significant pressure on the EU’s relationship with Israel,” the group’s foreign policy chief said on May 15.
The ruling came at the end of a week in which international criticism of Israel reached its peak. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court — a treaty court to which neither the United States nor Israel belongs — called on that court to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant if they set foot in any of its 124 member states. Three European countries - Norway, Spain and Ireland - said they would join 140 countries that already recognize Palestine as a state.
At the same time, as the International Court of Justice called on Israel to provide “unimpeded provisions...of essential services and much-needed humanitarian assistance,” aid organizations used increasingly alarming terms to describe how the Rafah attack exacerbated the situation inside Gaza.
“As feared, it was a tragedy beyond words,” Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, said in a statement on Friday. It "displaced more than 800,000 people... cutting off the flow of aid to southern Gaza and paralyzing a humanitarian operation that has already stretched beyond the breaking point."
Griffiths said: “Although Israel has rejected calls from the international community to spare Rafah, the global clamor for an immediate halt to this attack has become too loud to ignore.” “This is a moment of clarity. "This is a moment to demand respect for the rules of war that everyone abides by."
Even as it continued to describe the Rafah attack as “limited,” the administration reflected growing concerns. “We had two concerns about the Rafah operation,” said David Satterfield, who served in the first six months of the war as the administration's on-the-ground envoy for humanitarian concerns and remains a State Department adviser.
“The first is the consequences” of the displacement of up to 1.5 million people crowded into and around Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza, most of them fleeing fighting in the north. Once Israel turned the war there, "Where are they going to go? How are they going to get humanitarian support, shelter, water, food, medical support," Satterfield said, speaking Friday at a conversation hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations.
“The second concern is that a mobility operation, limited or not,” would see a mass evacuation of Gaza residents, all of which would interfere with the logistical and material capacity to transport aid. Unfortunately, all these fears, which we made clear to the government of Israel at the highest levels of the state, have come true.”
Israel's control of the vital Rafah crossing has almost halted aid to southern Gaza. Growing US concern about the humanitarian situation prompted President Biden on Friday to call Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to ask for help. Sisi agreed to allow aid transiting Egypt to travel to the Kerem Shalom crossing near Israel and extracted a promise from Biden to try to negotiate an agreement on reopening Rafah.
But this temporary measure, along with the US military’s construction of a temporary dock to deliver aid directly along the coast of central Gaza, is unlikely to change international policy or the reality on the ground, in the absence of stopping the Israeli offensive that began east of Rafah and advanced steadily west.
“My sense is that they are working a little further west in the evacuation zones right now and perhaps more evacuation orders will come,” Scott Anderson, deputy director of UNRWA in Gaza, the main UN relief agency, said in an interview on Friday. "I think the fighting may be taking place in the western half of the city."
In the absence of an immediate solution, the administration has returned to what has long been its preferred effort to stop the fighting — a temporary truce with Hamas that would allow for the release of hostages and a massive increase in humanitarian aid. Those efforts, which began months ago, largely collapsed earlier this month when Hamas and Israel rejected each other's amendments to an agreement negotiated under the auspices of the United States, Egypt and Qatar.
This weekend, CIA Director William Burns, who was the chief American negotiator, met in Paris with his Israeli counterpart and the Qatari prime minister in an attempt to revive the initiative. The results of the meeting were not immediately released.

The terrorist organisation called Israel has responded to the order from the world’s most powerful court to immediately halt its genocide by carrying out one of the most brutal massacres of our time.
An act that will echo through the ages and stain the character of all who have supported this atrocity.
One day the world will unanimously look back in horror at May 26th and some of you are going to be remembered as the monsters who supported it, made excuses for it, lied about it, even provided the weapons and funding for it. If you are one of those monsters, you might escape justice today, but history is going to remember you as no better than a Nazi.
When Israel was given a legally binding instruction to halt all military action in Rafah, the US was arguing that international law does not apply to Israel. The terrorist state used that impunity to fire 60 missiles into an area the size of Heathrow airport. The result was that children who had walked around their country, dodging bullets as they moved from “safe zone” to “safe zone”, were blown to pieces in their tents at a UN Relief and Works camp because there was nowhere else to go.
Dozens of civilians were killed in one rocket blast. Hundreds were injured by the flames and shrapnel. One man lost five members of his family. Most of the dead were women, children and the elderly. That’s a real Hamas stronghold you got there, Israel, you must be so proud.

Biden Panics as Russia’s Victory Over Ukraine Is Now Imminent
Written by Eric ZUESSE on 27/05/2024
27/05/2024
U.S. President Joe Biden is now seriously considering the recommendations by his neoconservative Secretary of State Antony Blinken and by the neoconservative Victoria Nuland (whom Obama had assigned to plan and oversee the 2014 U.S. coup in Ukraine, which started the war in Ukraine) — their recommendations that America must now send to Ukraine weapons that will endanger Russian national security, weapons that might stop Russia’s impending victory over Ukraine and thus indirectly Russia’s victory over neoconservative (that is, Rhodesist) America. These weapons might have nuclear warheads. However, under no circumstances will Russia tolerate its national security to be jeopardized that much (just as JFK didn’t allow America’s national security to be jeopardized that much when the Soviet Union was about to do that to the U.S. in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis by placing its missiles there); and, as a result of Biden’s now-expected approval of their recommendation, a rational response by Russia to that provocation by the U.S. would be to unleash unannounced an all-out invasion of the United States and all of its colonies (‘allies’), since a global nuclear war will be very brief and therefore the first side to strike will have less damage from it than will the respondent to that blitz attack (since many of its missiles etc. will have been destroyed in that blitz attack). The first-strike advantage would be vastly higher for WW III than for any previous war in history, because this would be by far the fastest-ever World War. Though the world would be destroyed, there might be survivors who would last more than ten years, but not on the losing side. The advisors that Biden has been relying upon the most — the rabid neocons — are saying he should do it.
An analyst whose opinions on this matter I respect, Alexander Mercouris, headlined on May 25th “Putin & Lukashenko prepare for NATO escalation”, and said (at 19:38 in the video) “The President himself is obsessed with Putin and with Russia, and he always ends up going with the most extreme hardliners who demand the most extreme escalation, and that will probably go on happening so long as he remains in the Oval Office.” He said this referring there to Seymour Hersh’s May 23rd article, “BIDEN’S PERMANENT COLD WAR”, which opened:
President Joe Biden’s advanced age and the difficulties he has getting through a speech aren’t the only things putting his re-election as risk: another liability is his long-standing inability to see the world as it is. He has made no effort since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 to arrange a one-on-one meeting with Vladimir Putin, Russia’s President.
In other words: Biden really does believe that Vladimir Putin is another Joseph Stalin (who was FDR’s partner in conquering Hitler, but then along came U.S. President Truman, Biden’s model), and agrees with Churchill and with Truman that America must control Russia or else Russia will control America — thinks that without “regime-change” in Russia, America will become controlled by Russia (for Biden, the end of the Soviet Union and of its communism in 1991 wasn’t enough): he thinks that either America will control Russia, or else Russia will control America; that international relations is simply a win-lose game, no possible win-win game; and that, consequently, negotiating with an ‘enemy’ in order to live in peace with it is only a fool’s game, in this purely dog-eat-dog world, where Might makes right, and thus losers are necessarily wrong — America must therefore win in order to be on God’s side, the side of The Almighty, against the weaker side, the evil side, the ‘enemy’, the losing side. That’s the neoconservatives’ view, and Biden is and always has been a neoconservative — and now his fellow-neoconservatives are finally getting him to think seriously about going all the way. Inevitably, he is now consulting his military and intelligence leaders in order to determine what to do.
This is going to be a very difficult decision for Biden. His “long-standing inability to see the world as it is” (as Seymour Hersh said) is finally crashing into “the world as it is,” and no one can say whether the result of that will be WW III; no one can predict what such an irrational person will do.
