Why is NATO expanding its nuclear force?
Asia Times ^ | 6/18/24 | Steven Bryen

Posted on 06/18/2024 4:34:08 PM PDT by hardspunned

Jens Stoltenberg, the 13th secretary general of NATO, says that the alliance is in talks to deploy more nuclear weapons and modernize their delivery systems. Stoltenberg told the Telegraph in the UK: “I won’t go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues. That’s exactly what we’re doing.” Stoltenberg emphasized that NATO is a “nuclear alliance.”

He explained: “N​ATO’s aim is, of course, a world without nuclear weapons. But as long as nuclear weapons exist we will remain a nuclear alliance, because a world where Russia, China and North Korea have nuclear weapons and N​ATO does not is a more dangerous world.”

I’m rural Kentucky, according to the fallout map, my house is “medium” contamination. I can come out of my shelter in 1-3 weeks. In other words, I’ll die horribly from radiation poisoning in a week or two. I’m thinking it’ll be best to go toward the incoming blast to hopefully die a little less wretchedly.

Our leaders WANT war and do not want it to stop. They believe they can escalate things with Russia to the point that Russia will do what NATO/London/DC says and back down.

They are doing it because they need an excuse for the economic collapse.

“it would be more stable at Southern latitudes—in places like Australia—further away from the equatorial fallout cloud.”

NATO wants war. So, so what?

If NATO hadn’t started the war by engineering the overthrow of the legitimately elected government and putting a NATO stooge in charge in 2014, perhaps Moscow wouldn’t have had to react. But then again, how many hundreds of times have the Western warmongering leaders called for forced regime in Moscow? You know, like the dastardly regime change perpetrated by the CIA in Kiev. Maybe if the West would cease these constant and unprovoked attacks on Russia, we might survive the neocon madness.

Suddenly 28 months ago a lot of freepers became weak on defense liberals.

I should have added, except for the days when they are attacking our NATO alliance for not arming up enough.

I think you are talkying up the talking heads. Putin spoke to reporters who asked him in St. Petersburg last month and he said to them he would answer, but not his choice of topic. Then the reports are nuke rhreats.

When Lavrov speaks, not Putin, you should take heed. The top diplomat in the world is concise and has conveyed the circumstance and two or three scenarios where Russia will use a nuke.

Stolen-berg talking about NATO will defeat Russia is one such scenario. F16 in Russian airspace... or USAF F15.

NATO putting their own troops openly in Ukraine and those countries firing missiles into Russian territory using AAFU as proxy cover is another.

Lavrov speaks. NATO calls it a bluff. NATO is going to be shocked when the US decides to stop this madness after one instance of a Russian nuke. That moment will see cooler heads prevail, and support for Ukraine collaspe. Poland and Romania will not have long though to live with it. Those F16s flying out of NATO will seal those bases fate.

We will be waiting “On the Beach”. GHW Bush said NATO will move no farther East, we will stand down on expansion, until Biden restarts the Cold War all by his little self. The best that can happen is someone decapitate the government, or we will all be breathing dust from a nuclear exchange. Biden is too weak to stand down. It takes strength to compromise, he loves the nuclear button.

Good thing you have zero conviction and didn’t buy those rubles.

1187 days since I was told China would annex Taiwan.

65 days since I was told Iran would launch a massive attack of the test run.

9 weeks since nukes were declared coming in a few weeks maybe next week.

730 days since I was promised WWIII.

This account is a paragon of perpetually wrong.
