SCOTT RITTER: On a Highway to Hell

by Scott Ritter, Consortium News:

Nuclear weapons offer an illusion of security. By allowing the U.S. nuclear posture to shift from deterrence to employment, there will be a scenario where the U.S. will use nuclear weapons. And then it’s lights out.

Successive U.S. administrations have eschewed arms control in favor of maintaining American strategic advantage over real and/or imagined adversaries.

This is accomplished by embracing nuclear weapons employment strategies that deviate from simple deterrence into war-fighting at every level of conflict, including scenarios that don’t involve a nuclear threat.

There’s a massive free speech protest in Brazil today.

Biden-Harris ‘openly courting World War III’ with Russia as Putin warns Washington is ‘playing with fire’

by Leo Hohmann, Leo’s Newsletter:

The U.S. administration seems hell bent on starting World War III before they leave office. And, strangely, Americans seem to be completely unaware of just how close we are to nuclear war with Russia.

M. Dowling posted the below short piece at The Independent Sentinel and she is spot on. Nobody seems to be paying attention to the flagrant provocations our government is engaging in visa ve Russia, Iran and China. Washington appears to be searching the world for a country that will engage it in a major war. If the American people knew just how close we are to full-on World War III and potential nuclear annihilation, they would be storming the Congress in a way that would make January 6 look like a picnic in the park.

The Russians Are About To Lower Their Threshold For Nuking The West. What Does That Mean For Us?

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

If you are determined to push a bear into a corner, you better know what you are doing.  Right now, Ukraine is begging the Biden administration to allow it to use long-range missiles provided by the United States to strike targets deep inside of Russia.  Since the Ukrainians have eventually gotten just about everything else that they have wanted from us, they will probably get approval for this at some point too.  So how do you think the Russians would respond if missiles that are provided by the United States start falling in their major cities and killing innocent civilians?  Do you think that the Russians may consider us to be responsible?

Elections Globally = Throw the Bumbs Out

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

In Germany, the policies of open borders have caused extreme violence to give life to the Alternative for Germany (AFD) far-right party. They won a state election for the first time in post-World War II Germany in the country’s east on Sunday. They appear poised to finish a very close second to mainstream conservatives in a second vote. It has been an unpopular Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s national government supporting war with Russia and flooding the country with immigrants without skills.

Israel Sets Up Army Unit To Oversee Control Of Gaza ‘For Years To Come’

from ZeroHedge:

Israeli media news site Ynet has reported that the Israeli army is preparing to occupy and control the Gaza Strip for years to come, and this is increasingly the default assumption of Israeli military officers in the absence of a clearly defined long-term mission by top leadership.

The outlet wrote that this comes “in the absence of clear strategic goals for the future of the Gaza Strip.” The report continued, “The Israeli army began yesterday through this appointment to accept the fact that its responsibility for the Strip will continue for years and will expand, and about two million Palestinians will remain under its responsibility.”

McGovern: ‘A U.S. Two-Front War and Tactical Nukes Are a Real Possibility Now’

from 21st Century Wire:

Will a desperate Biden administration resort to a desperate move to try and rescue its abysmal failure in Ukraine ahead of the upcoming US election in November?

Neutrality Studies host Pascal Lottaz explores the emerging geopolitical conundrum which Washington now finds itself in. This discussion unpacks real meaning of Jake Sullivan’s China trip has nothing to do with US-China relations and everything with the war in Ukraine, says Ray McGovern, a renowned US intelligence analyst. Sullivan went to China to sound out the possible Chinese reactions to a US escalation of the Ukraine proxy-war with the use of the last weapons that the American’s have not yet shipped to its Kiev war-implementation partner, namely tactical nukes. However, it is also clear that the Chinese would react to such an escalation in their very own ways. Watch…
