US amasses nukes in Asia-Pacific to target China, Russia: Mike Billington

In the background of this there has been frightening escalation of rhetoric and threats from both North Korea and the US in the Korean peninsula. The US military build up in the area includes a chemical weapons battalion sent to South Korea and B-2 nuclear capable bombers as well as F-22 stealth fighter jets that have participated in drills in the area. North Korea has reacted to this provocation saying a nuclear war with the United States could start at any time. The US is also undertaking military drills with the Philippines and Japan has openly condemned North Korea’s threats without saying anything about the provocative escalation of US actions.

Press TV has interviewed Mike Billington, Executive Intelligence review, Leesburg about this issue. The following is an approximate transcription of the interview.

Press TV: Are we closer to a war between the United States and North Korea or are we just closer to a Korean war?

Billington: No I don’t think we’re particularly close to a Korean war. There could be a spark there, but as I’ve said many times and as Lyndon La Rouche has said many times, we are extremely close to a global nuclear war between the United States and Russia and China.

The problem in Korea, is as the Chinese recognize, is that the US has taken advantage of these provocations on both sides – and there certainly are North Korean provocations, but there are also numerous US provocations – They’ve taken advantage of this for a significant military build up in the region, which the Chinese recognize is a ring around China.
