THE NUCLEAR CONFLICT HAS ARRIVED!
I entered the military in the early 1980's. Had my picture taken in front of an American flag for the U.S. Army almost the same day newly-elected, Pres. Reagan got his portrait taken for the White House. Reagan's foreign policy scared the shit out of every country on the planet (including us). A little trivia, Iran released our hostages from the embassy in Tehran mere minutes after Reagan was formally sworn into office. Pres. J. Carter always felt his failure to get the hostages in Iran is what cost him the 1980 Election.
Because I had a short enlistment and going to Europe or Asia wasn't cost-effective for the Army, my duty assignment was to a newly reactivated unit, the 24th infantry Div (Mechanized). 'Mechanized' means everybody rides in a vehicle or on a weapon to get to the battlefield. We were part of a newly formed Group called a "Rapid Deployment Force"; created as a resultant of the U.S. getting caught with their pants down after the Iran-Hostage Crisis evolved when we had no-response teams to smaller conflicts. The hostage crisis was also the reason SEAL Team 6 formed in Nov. 1980.
All we did was train for war, but there was no war at the time so we practiced/trained for many different scenarios. The CIA was selling cocaine in L.A. to buy guns for the Contra's, Reagan was trying to figure out when NORAD would call him after an alert, and the deepstate was humming right along. Me? I'm in the swamps of Georgia eating LSD, carrying an M-16, coding Top Secret messages in a radio-active comm set.
According to military-intelligence at the time future conflicts were going to be fought in urban centers, street-by-street stuff. They weren't wrong once George W. (or rather Cheney) got the presidency. What I'm about to tell you is fact, not conjecture. The military isn't planning the next full-scale war to be conventional. We have nuclear weapons that can be fired from a generic artillery pulled around by a truck. Some nuclear rounds can vaporize a 1-mile center radius, but 'others' ... they will make 10-sq blocks glow after destroying 1-city block of townhomes.
There is an axiom among snipers when a small force is engaged only wound a target at first. Doing this removes 3 adversaries from the oppostion by only wounding the target, two more potential targets are removed to help the first injured soldier. By just injuring two - three, as opposed to killing one, you've effectively removed an entire squad from attacking your position.
Here's where it gets fun: in the case of Afghanistan suppose you rain down the length of a mountain trail with conventional bombs. A nominally deep cave will give the 'Threat' (an opposing hostile adversary) sancturary until the bombing stops without a direct hit or cave-in of the hole they were hiding inside. But if you've saturated that same trail with nuclear weaponry, whatever was in those hills then or since will be deathly sick in a couple of days due to radioactivity; and you removed those Threats from future engagements or at least you can identify them later in the hospital as they vomit their guts out til the cruel life has left their bodies.
Now I say all that to tell you this. The next major conflict is going to be in the Pacific, many nations will be involved and it will be over the South China Seas territory. This isn't a guess. The only unanswered question is exactly when it will start. It may not happen until 2030, maybe 2050, but this is a given.
For background, this is an excellent (richly informative) documentary describing those events shortly after the American colonies won their Independence from Great Britain, the premier naval power of the day. However, with it's Independence the maritime protection England provided to American shipping was gone too. It was what America did then, that defines today's American policy about the seas, it's right to sail them ... and that is not likely to change.
Fast-forward to today, China's adamant demands on the claims of sovereignty over all the South China Sea is a powderkeg of potential conflicts. So let's look at this realistically rather than through the lens of a pandering politician. China will overtake the U.S. economically seeking to displace the U.S. dollar with the yuan for the world's reserve currency. This is not an unknown factor in our equation -- see New Development Bank (NDB), formerly referred to as BRICS. People like Gadaffi get killed for talking ridiculous seeking to replace America's fiat currency with gold payments for oil. Did you really think is was because he 'harbored terrorists' that he was killed? Silly person.
Now comes "The Donald" in 2016, a man who can't be bought or bullied like all the other sheeple-polyticks in D.C. that the Intelligence community is familiar with blackmailing into compliance on a daily basis. Like any government job there are rheems of materials to prepare candidates for their office, little training blocks of study in briefings from Homeland Security and such.
Flynn Had to Go:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will notice General Flynn's book is listed here in this CIA review catalogue which would become part of a suggested presidential reading lists. The spooks and DoD didn't trust Flynn to not go to war. The review cites Flynn's book, therefore strategy in Flynn's conclusions about 'terrorism' which it said "came up short on details".
"The Field of Fight [book] disparages the intelligence bureaucracy and offers little about how IC [Intelligence Community] resources should be used against terrorists."
----------
The IC's concern that the 'spooks' would be removed from controlling U.S. policy once Flynn became Trump's Security Advisor was enough for all the subsequent legal ramblings necessary to remove Flynn. Hence, the #darkstate has fought this Administration at every turn, drove impeachment legislation with the help career politicians in the palm of Big Brother. And that's why Flynn and Trump have been hounded so viciously by those in government. Trump didn't read Intel briefs because he trusted General Flynn to do it.
"The Field of Fight' (Flynn's book) offers little insight into how the current counterterrorism fight relates to other national security issues. Flynn’s strategy emphasizes a military solution in black and white terms."
Losing Flynn as Security Advisor cost former CIA Director, John Brennan, his security clearance by Trump's people. In this month's issue of "The Atlantic", a distinctly New England literary magazine, is this commentary:
"Trump and his press secretary hurled their insults and issued their threats … and then retreated without admitting it, as they have previously done on so many other issues of national security. That would be a win for the rule of law in this country—but a warning that one of these days this crew may stumble unprepared into something more serious, such as a war on the Korean peninsula or elsewhere, that won’t fade away because the administration quits talking about it."
-----------
Did you catch that "rule of law" BS? Who do these fucks think they are? Well, these mind you are the bulldogs of the elitists who have vested interest in the status quo. The CIA takes no sides with regard to driving national security, "the security act's architects would have approved of a published national strategy, they would, I believe, be greatly surprised, perhaps even incensed, by today's neglect of strategic intelligence in the Intelligence Community. Strategic intelligence collection and analysis is a capability they took pains to preserve; we are perilously close to losing it."
That is their mission statement, which is to maintain their grip on all forms of power with vast overreach to change things ... if needed. The problem with that approach by the spook-Agencies is Flynn was probably right. Their interference probably cost the U.S. many lives in a future war or conflict with China ... remember, that is a given sooner or later it will come to pass as U.S. politicians bury their heads in the dungheap of history.
China is amassing a naval force to control the South China Seas it so adamantly proclaims with uninhibited construction of airstrips on reefs not large enough to call an island. China's population outnumbers the U.S. by 3:1 It could lose 300 million soldiers with twice that number at home cranking out more bombs. Conventionally the U.S. cannot match a future militarized China. Their actions will grow more provocative in the S. China Seas until the U.S. must either put up or shut up. The U.S. will withdraw as sanity dictates; yet if the U.S. were to choose conflict now as opposed to the future, nuclear options could have been reasonably executed with a managable, low-loss outcome. China is also a nuclear country, but they are not unintelligible. A vaporized island with a landing strip after a provocation and any retailiation by China would have been mute ... the Earth would not have been irreparable and China would have known where the boundaries lie.
The U.S. wartime policy virtually demands mutual destruction. In wake of a chemical or biological attack, U.S. mandates dictate an immediate nuclear option.
The National Security Archives recently published a declassified list of U.S. nuclear targets from 1956, which spanned 1,100 locations across Eastern Europe, Russia, China, and North Korea. The map below shows all 1,100 nuclear targets from that list.
After seeing this map above suppose all these pandemic scares are drills for an upcoming conflict? You bet they are. This is not unlike the procedures from nuclear fallout services for the U.S. West Coast should a limited, nuclear exchange were to take place in the South China Seas. Kinda hard to un-see that now? I do know this, after what I've learned about our government just since 9/11 proves to me we citizens lost control of this place long before Trump got there. They killed J.F.K., MLK, RFK and anyone who seeks to change the status quo as they see it.
Carry On!
