Russia Preparing Pre-Emptive Nuclear Strike on America, Warns Paul Craig Roberts

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By:   /  Natural News

(Natural News) In a rather dark and depressing article entitled, “Are You Ready to Die,” author Paul Craig Roberts argues that it’s only a matter of time before Russia launches a nuclear strike on the United States and wipes out millions of innocent Americans. “I supported Trump because he, unlike Hillary, said he would normalize relations with Russia,” Roberts tells his readers. “Instead, he has raised the tensions between the nuclear powers. Nothing is more irresponsible or dangerous.” Roberts goes on to remind everyone that Vladimir Putin has been warning of a nuclear attack for years, and expressed frustration over the fact that many people ignore the threats. “Maybe the morons will hear when mushroom clouds appear over Washington and New York, and Europe ceases to exist, as it will if Europe continues the confrontation with Russia as is required from Washington’s well-paid vassals,” he writes.

There is no doubt that a nuclear strike on one of America’s heavily populated cities like New York or Los Angeles would be devastating. (Related: Here is a list of the U.S. cities that would be targeted first in a nuclear war.) For proof, all one has to do is look at what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the United States dropped the atomic bombs. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima resulted in 13 square kilometers of destruction, 75,000 lives lost instantaneously and 200,000 by the year 1950. The bomb dropped on Nagasaki three days later was responsible for 40,000 deaths upon impact and 140,000 by 1950.

It’s worth noting that the nuclear strikes on Japan took place over seven decades ago, and technology has dramatically advanced since then. Today, the death and destruction from an atomic bomb could very well be far more significant. If nothing else, Roberts is correct in that nuclear threats from Russia is something that both the people of the United States and the United States government should take very seriously.

But it’s not just the United States that Vladimir Putin and the Russians are making threats against. Just last month, Russian senator and retired colonel Frants Klintsevich stated that Britain would “literally be wiped out” if it entered a nuclear war with Vladimir Putin, according to the Daily Mail. The threat came in response to comments from Defense Secretary Sir Michael Fallon that “in the most extreme circumstances, we have made it very clear that you can’t rule out the use of nuclear weapons as a first strike.” Klintsevich, who is a Putin loyalist, later declared that the comments from Sir Michael Fallon were “disgusting” and deserved a “tough response.”

On another occasion in April of this year, Newsweek reported that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told attendees of the Moscow Conference on International Security that the U.S.’s missile defense system in Europe, which includes defense technology at sea, on land and in the air, is “a serious obstacle on the way of consolidation of political stability.”

Meanwhile, while Putin and the Russians are busy making all of these threats to various countries around the world, they have successfully gained political and territorial control over Crimea, invaded the nation of Georgia, and are still looking for ways to expand their influence by way of force. Some even believe that Putin is attempting to resurrect the Soviet Union, which could potentially send the world spiraling into another World War.

There’s no getting around it – Vladimir Putin is a bully. And with all due respect to Paul Roberts and his article arguing for a U.S. policy of appeasement when it comes to the Russians, curling up into a fetal position and hoping that Vladimir Putin spares us is not an efficient strategy. As a matter of fact, it isn’t a strategy at all; it is surrender. The goal of the United States should always be peace, but sometimes in order to obtain that peace, you have to go toe to toe with the bully and pop him in the nose.

      NOT in a MILLION YEARS will Putin strike first.

      The Russians have done everything in their power to maintain DIALOGUE with all parties in order to maintain peace.
      How Lavrov failed to sucumb to the temptation of THROTTLING that idiot John Kerry, I will never know.
      The Russians are eloquent speakers whilst US “politicians” seem to struggle to string together a COHERENT sentence.
      Russian fortitude, INTEGRITY, PERSEVERANCE & RESTRAINT has been on display in spades; for those with the eyes to see.

      A nuclear launch requires the hand of a…………NEUROLOGICAL MUTANT…….Putin does not fit the criteria.

      U SUK…….US/UK…..ashkeNAZI khazars……have the requisite amount of….CHARACTER DEFECTS…to effect a launch…and….THEN POINT the FINGER of BLAME elsewhere.

      Revelation 18 World English Bible (WEB)

      18 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”

      4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues, 5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. 7 However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’ 8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong. 9 The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning, 10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’ 11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more; 12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls. 14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning; 16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away, 18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’ 19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.

      20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.” 21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all. 22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you. 23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”

      The Russians do not want war and will avoid it at all costs. They have experienced war on their land and lost 25 million people in WW II Their population at the time was close to 100 million people. Think about that. That is only deaths, not injuries.

      Everybody in Russia knows someone who was killed or injured.

      United States according to State Department Victoria Nulan, who worked for John Kerry, financed the takeover of Ukraine to the tune of 5 billion dollars. Chabad which rivals the Rockefeller center moved to Ukraine and following that you had the take over of Ukraine. Monsanto is now there as are other corporate intents. Joe Bidens son was working there after the take over. Crimea was wise and did not want the same thing so they elected to be annexed rather than taken over by the West.

      “There’s no getting around it – Vladimir Putin is a bully.”

      you reveal your ignorance, America is the global bully and Putin is standing up to her

      Oh NOW you’re crazy. And Paul Craig Roberts has completely flipped his lid as well. One lunatic quoting another lunatic. We knew that the USA had planned on being the first to strike as far back as 1995, courtesy of none other than PCR himself! He seems to have forgotten making those statements on CNN in 1995 and now claims that only his readers know about this NOW.
      WE are not behind the continuing escalation of tensions with Russia, although it sure looks that way. NATO is just a puppet of the USA, which in contravention of the Reagan – Gorbachev gentleman’s agreement not only expanded NATO eastward towards Russia, but is placing its own, and NATO countries’ troops right on Russia’s border.
      In fact, under the pretext of an “imminent” war with North Korea, the US military is pretty much cornering Russia from both sides. While it’s true that the Norks have threatened to nuke the US many times, and they have nuclear weapons, nobody ever took them seriously and nobody ever will. What people forget it that China ALSO has threatened the US with nuclear annihilation; and not once, but TWICE. That’s a far more credible threat.
      The other layer to this onion will be shown to be the Nork’s counterfeiting operations which have resulted in 40% of all US 100 USD notes being counterfeited by Nork Ministry no. 19 (look up the Superdollar), but do you seriously believe the Norks are making these notes in North Korea? Nobody does, but we all know who the real masters are at counterfeiting.
      An even deeper layer to the onion is the fact that since these Superdollars are NOT being issued by the Fed and are therefore NOT collateralised by the Treasury Department, the US government has every reason to keep this charade going using phony “paper tiger” enemies.
      This is brinkmanship pure and simple, and if anybody actually does strike first, it WILL NOT be the US. Most likely it will be an indefinite standoff to justify ever-increasing military expenditures for protection against an imaginary threat.
      Historically, neither Russia nor China has ever acted as imperialistically as the USA and no reason to suspect they will do so in the future. The only other country besides the US that HAS behaved aggressively in the past has been North Korea, and Japan.

      Anyway Putin is a double agent, the cold war is fake, he’s not about to attack the west so keep the fear porn up and demand to pay more takxes so the military gets more money and the banker get rich ! This works in Russia too

    • unidentified

      putin claimed publicly that the european royals are shapeshifting reptilians very similar to david icke’s theory, so no there is no admiration society there

    • Mina

      This article takes Mr.Robert’s legitimate appeal and twists it totally out of context.

      What he writes is, based on recent actions by the US/NATO alliance, the leadership of Russia and China have now come to believe that the US is considering a pre-emptive nuclear first strike against their nations and that, furthermore, their repeatedly stated concerns have been ignored by both the US government and the Western MSM.

      He contends that this insane situation has brought the world much closer to nuclear war because neither Russia nor China is likely to wait patiently to be nuked before they take action.

    • tattiio

      Mr. Roberts misses one key point, the US Sub fleet. The 14 Ohio class nuclear subs carry 24 trident nuclear missles each with 3 to 7 warheads per missle. If Russia or China hit the US with a nuke, our sub fleet would deliver a blow of almost 500 nuclear warheads on them betweeen 5 minutes and an hour. The US navy alone can wipe out almost the entire continents of Europe and Asia. No one is stupid enough to gamble with those odds. Even if you wiped out the entire N American continent, the US Navy would end you. The United States not only has numbers, we have technology. Nukes are not the only devastating weapons we have in waiting.

      • DK

        You are a bit younger than most, those of us 40 and over lived in the world of MAD. That is not news nor actually threatening to Russia since it expects near certain destruction to the point where it still has that end of the world bomb ready (https://www.wired.com/2007/09/soviet-doomsday/) :roll:
