America must brace itself for a new level of permanent crisis.

Russian Diplomat Warns US Close to the Use of Force on North Korea. President Trump is in a true dilemma; protect the US from preemptive strike from North Korea and risk China and Russia joining the fight, or do nothing and allow the Deep state to continue antagonizing Pyongyang until they do strike. I believe the US has a saying for that: “Darned if you do and darned if you don’t” G rated version.

North Korea Assembling Arsenal for a Nuclear Sneak Attack

While President Trump is vowing to inflict ‘fire and fury,’ the Kim regime is making steady progress on an undersea nuke that could evade missile defenses.

by DAVID AXE

North Korea has been steadily assembling all the technologies it needs to put a nuclear warhead on a submarine-launched missile.

If the Pyongyang regime deploys an effective undersea nuke—and all signs point toward that eventuality—it might be able to sail a sub behind U.S. defenses on the Korean Peninsula and launch a surprise strike on South Korean cities.

The new undersea threat comes at a time of escalating hostility between the United States and North Korea. The communist country recently produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead small enough to fit inside its missiles, according to The Washington Post. Warhead-miniaturization is “a key threshold on the path to becoming a full-fledged nuclear power,” the Postreported.

In response to the report, President Donald Trump vowed to to inflict “fire and fury” on North Korea. A North Korean army commander called Trump’s threat “a load of nonsense.”

On Aug. 8, Pyongyang announced it was preparing a plan for a preemptive strike on the U.S. military base on the Pacific island of Guam. Responding to that threat, U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis warned North Korea to “cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.”

As the rhetoric on both sides grows more heated, North Korea is marching along the path toward a functional, long-range nuclear arsenal. Pyongyang possesses a increasing number of rockets that are presumably compatible with the new, smaller warheads it reportedly has developed. On July 4 and again on July 28, North Korea tested a ground-launched intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the continental United States from the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang also fields hundreds of shorter-range rockets.

The U.S. military has deployed missile defenses that can, in theory, intercept these ground-launched rockets. To protect South Korea and American forces in that country, the U.S. Army has positioned a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system in central South Korea. To destroy ICBMs headed for North America, the Army has installed ground-based midcourse defense (GMD) rockets in Alaska and California. Source Daily Beast

Trump speaks with China’s Xi Jinping as North Korea tensions rise   

by Caitlin Yilek | Aug 12, 2017, 9:16 AM

President Trump spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday about the escalating tension between the U.S. and North Korea over the latter’s nuclear weapon program.

The two leaders agreed North Korea “must stop its provocative and escalatory behavior,” according to the White House’s readout of the call.

North Korea has threatened to strike Guam, which is home to a major U.S. military base, as Trump vowed “fire and fury” against the country.

Chinese state media reported that Xi urged Trump not to do anything that would inflame tensions with North Korea.

The White House said both leaders are committed to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

“The relationship between the two presidents is an extremely close one, and will hopefully lead to a peaceful resolution of the North Korea problem,” the White House said.   Source Washington Examiner

With four weeks to go until the start of Russia’s Zapad (“West”) war games in Belarus, Western media are already reporting alarm bells that the exercise is a cover for an invasion into NATO countries.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the United States is mobilizing a giant military force within days off the Korea Peninsula that could very well ignite World War III. Strangely enough, or perhaps not, the Western media report no concern about that much more ominous development.

The selective hysteria and double think over Russia-Belarusian military defense exercises, which occur every four years, makes a good case that those maneuvers should be renamed ‘Zapped’ – such is the brain-dead condition of NATO governments’ thinking and the Western media reporting.

Russia and Belarus claim that the total number of troops involved are around 13,000. The US and other NATO members counter-claim that the numbers are in the 100,000 order.

Russia’s envoy to NATO, Aleksandr Grushko, has submitted an inventory of military forces backing up the Russian number, while the country’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said accusations that the war exercises are anything more sinister than simply defensive preparations are “nonsense”.

Those assurances haven’t stopped the Western media from hyping up the forthcoming Zapad drill as a foreboding event. In order to do so, the double think has inevitably gone into overdrive.

The New York Times reports: “Russia’s military drills near NATO border raise fears of aggression”. It goes on to call the event “an exercise in intimidation” carried out by “an increasingly assertive Russia”.

US Defense Secretary James Mattis has called the forthcoming Russian exercises “destabilizing”.

So, let’s get this straight: countless NATO exercises and unprecedented force build-up around Russia’s borders are not destabilizing? Seems like Mattis is saying that to merely have an army in one’s own country is no longer acceptable. ‘How dare you carry out provocative defensive measures,’ seems to be his dubious logic.

What the NY Times fails to explicitly mention is that the Zapad drills are occurring within Russian or Belarusian territory and that the “NATO border” has come to exist only because of years of provocative eastward expansion by the US military alliance towards Russia. In contravention of the Russia-NATO Founding Agreement following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the supposed end of the Cold War.

Elsewhere, The Economist reports: “Russia’s biggest war games in Europe since the Cold War alarms NATO”. It adds: “Some fear that Zapad 2017 could be a cover for skullduggery.”

Omitted in all the fear-mongering reportage is that last year NATO actually mounted the biggest war games since the end of the Cold War when it conducted the Anaconda exercises in Poland and the Baltic states. Those drills involved over 30,000 troops and the participation of 24 of the then 27 NATO member states (NATO has since gained another member with Montenegro joining this year).

A Guardian report on the Anaconda maneuvers at the time noted, in a rather nonchalant tone, how it was the first time German tanks crossed Poland since the Nazi invasion of Russia in Operation Barbarossa in 1941.

Also omitted in general Western media coverage is that as the NATO alliance membership has expanded over the years so too have the number of its war games. Last year, for instance, in addition to the giant Anaconda maneuvers there were several other exercises: Summer Shield, Iron Wolf, Saber Strike and BALTOPS.

Other Western media reports claim that the Russian Zapad games are a harbinger of invasion by stealth, pointing to the case of Georgia and the Southern Caucasus. This comparison by the Western media is a betrayal of what psychologists call “guilt projection”. For it was the US-backed Georgia which launched a war nine years ago this month on Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The US-backed Operation Clear Field, which the Pentagon had invested $2 billion in, proved to be a disaster when Russian forces quickly repelled invading Georgian military.

For Western media and NATO figures to now claim that Russia is readying to repeat a “Georgia-style invasion” is beyond double think. It is an outrageous distortion of history.
