U.S. Nuclear Missile Tests: Sending A Message To China & Russia

TND Editor’s Note:  The Trident II D5 missile is the grand daddy of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.  If sending a message was among the objectives of those that ordered these tests, using the D5 certainly is the “loudest voice.”  Dollar hegemony enables U.S. military empire.  U.S. policy makers are concerned about dollar hegemony evaporating.  Naturally, “the message” has more than one purpose, but Mr. Dykes is correct to place such a major focus on dollar hegemony because the current and unstoppable decline in U.S. dollar hegemony is driving a great deal on the global geopolitical stage.  — Eric Dubin

The possibility of another world war has never been greater in our lifetime.

The United States fired off two separate ballistic missile tests, which would have been armed with a nuclear device, off the coast of California to send a message to China, Russia and the American people (who saw it light up California) – despite a great deal of controversy and condemnation when other countries have tested these missiles in the past. Of course, officially, it was all just a regularly scheduled drill.

The real message, between the lines, is stark, however.

The United States is indicating that it would sooner go to war with the Far East than suffer the defeat of an intense currency war over the rising yuan. Billionaire George Soros warned of this exact scenario earlier this year, stating that economic disputes with China provided a ‘real risk’ of triggering a third world war.

A few years back, Rand Corporation and Pentagon planners actually debated whether or not to launch WWIII as a solution to the 2008 economic crisis… what must they be thinking now as the U.S. dollar paradigm is quickly falling to pieces and economic destruction looms overhead?

As Mike Rivero, of WhatReallyHappened, states in an interview, the petrodollar and U.S. dollar reserve currency have been prime motivation for much of the aggression and warmongering going on in the world for some time:

“Now Wall Street and Washington D.C. are dependent on maintaining Bretton Woods and its offspring the petro dollar. This requirement that all the resource-rich areas would trade those resources only for the U.S. dollar. And that’s a rule that is enforced with U.S. weapons of war.

“It is this attempt to drag the world back to U.S. dollar hegemony that is underlying all these wars of aggression. And because the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan are now seen by most countries as more attractive than the U.S. dollar, that’s why the U.S. is trying to pick fights with China and Russia. This is literally a war between our paper currency and their paper currency. And for that war, the money junkies are willing to sacrifice millions and millions and millions of other people’s children.”
