The senior naval officer in charge of America’s nuclear triad says the current worldwide tensions sparked by Russia’s war against Ukraine could be the opening act for a larger conflict that the US must prepare for.
In remarks at the Naval Submarine League's 2022 Annual Symposium & Industry Update, US Strategic Command commander Admiral Charles Richard said the Ukraine crisis “is just the warmup”.
"The big one is coming, and it isn't going to be very long before we're going to get tested in ways that we haven't been tested a long time,” he said.

As winners, they can sit and wait it out on "The Beach".
None of what you posted is any of America’s business.
We need to get rid of Biden and the DC chickenhawks.
Why to Obama/Hillary/Biden, etc all alleged pacifists, so gung ho of nuclear war ... when none of them served AND they all have bunkers?
I really want the Bush League chickhawks to go to.
He’s not in charge of just nuclear forces in the Navy, but rather ALL nuclear forces in the country, including nuclear missile subs in the Navy, all other nuclear weapons in the Navy, all USAF B-52 and B-2 bombers, fighter jets with the B-61 Mark 12 nuke bomb, and all Air Force ICBMs.
He’s in charge of the unified combatant command United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM).
U.S. Strategic Command’s day-to-day planning and execution for the primary mission areas is performed by the following USSTRATCOM components:
—Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC), Barksdale AFB, LA – Conducts kinetic (nuclear and conventional) and non-kinetic effects planning and execution. JFACC manages global force air activities to assure allies and to deter and dissuade actions detrimental to the United States and its global interests; should deterrence fail, employs global strike air forces (bombers and ICBMs) in support of combatant commander.
—Joint Forces Maritime Component Commander (STRATCOM) (JFMCC), Naval Station Norfolk, Norfolk, VA – to conduct operations in the maritime environment for strategic deterrence. It is commanded by US Fleet Forces Command.
—JFCC – Integrated Missile Defense (JFCC-IMD) Schriever AFB, CO – JFCC-IMD is constantly monitoring for any missile activity or threat against the United States and its allies. In the event of an attack, IMD plans and coordinates the necessary actions to counter the threat. When directed, also provides alternate missile defense execution support.
Only insofar as the lunatics currently losing their grip on power here in the US see war with Russia as a means to indefinite control.
How can people be so blind.
Wow... We sure are lucky to have Joe Biden in charge.! /s
....”WW3 begins on November 9th if the Rats steal the midterms”....
RODENT REMOVAL DATE:
In this crazy political season, I decided a little religion might be appropriate so here is a short Bible study.
Remember what Jesus said: ‘Goats on the left, sheep on the right’ (Matthew 25:33).
Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat. They did and filled the boat with fish. John 21:6 (NIV) ...
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.”
Origin of Left & Right...
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the “right” and Liberals are called the “left” By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
Ecclesiastes 10:2 - “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”
It surely can’t get any simpler than that.
Spelling Lesson:
The last four letters in American...I Can.
The last four letters in Republican... I Can.
The last four letters in Democrats... Rats
End of lesson..!
Test to follow in November 2022 Remember, November 2022 is to be set aside as rodent removal month.
Please share this Bible Lesson with all your friends and email buddies to help achieve that goal.
Never grow a wishbone where a backbone ought to be.
Just great.
This is more explicit than anything anyone in defense has said since the late Eisenhower Administration:
“The big one is coming, and it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested a long time,” he said.
Mr Richard said US forces’ “level of deterrence” against China – a major competitor and adversary – is “slowly sinking” because the Chinese have been able to build and deploy more “capability in the field” at a faster rate than their American counterparts.
“As those curves keep going, it isn’t going to matter how good our [operating plan] is or how good our commanders are, or how good our horses are – we’re not going to have enough of them. And that is a very near-term problem,” he said, though he added that the US submarine force remains “maybe the only true asymmetric advantage we still have against our opponents”.
It appears aimed at China but could point to a global conflict with the ‘three others’, China, Russia, and Iran. Whatever it is an amazing statement and indicates high level defense types are more than concerned over the state of US defence capabilities.
Watch a lot of CNN, do ya?
The Obama admin purged the non-nutters years ago.
——the Chinese have been able to build and deploy more “capability in the field” at a faster rate than their American counterparts.——It is more than reasonable to believe that China has created a Todu Drang Army and Navy
Blah, blah, blah, fact is the US keeps perpetuating the nuke threat, out of fear, to spread fear. Putin has stated many times he doesn’t need nukes to win, and the West knows there is nothing they can do to stop Vlad keeping the ethnic Russian provinces.
Senile Joe’s sanctions failed, backfired, his massive waste of weapons to the Ukies is failing, Ukraine is now a failed, welfare nation, soon to be sitting in total darkness, and the West’s failure has shown the world it is just another corrupted defanged, declawed tiger- for all the world to see.
Hmmm....

Our source in the OP said that negotiations are underway to freeze hostilities in Ukraine, with one Arab country acting as an intermediary. Zelensky opposes a freeze/truce, but the criminal cases against Kyrylo Tymoshenko and the offshore accounts of the Big Construction Project force the Office of the President to carry out the instructions of the Biden Administration, which is the main actor in the negotiation process.

Yesterday’s statements by Sullivan seem to indirectly confirm our #Inside , that there were negotiations between the US and Russia, but for America the conditions of the Russian Federation are unacceptable: “The US refuses to negotiate with the Russian Federation on the conditions under which it will keep the occupied parts of Ukraine. The very conditions under which the Russians are ready in principle to engage in dialogue are unacceptable, since all conversations must begin with the complete de-occupation of Ukraine.”
Russia offered to negotiate a truce in Ukraine in exchange for the fact that Russian troops withdraw from the right bank of the Dnieper and Kherson, thus, a new line of demarcation is fixed along the Dnieper and further along the front line.

Our source in the OP said that Sullivan did not just come to Kiev yesterday, and public statements have nothing to do with the real topics that were discussed yesterday at Bankova. Biden’s national security adviser handed over the draft negotiations with the Kremlin, which are being conducted by the United States through the mediation of Arab countries, and also discussed the possible consequences for Ukraine from the victory of the Republicans in the congressional elections.
Balderdascious drivel
Putin is a de facto War Criminal and you apparently support the war crimes he committed
Bert:
You spelled "celebrate" wrong.
The song Joanie Mitchell could never bring herself to finish after doing a USO show at Ft Bragg:
THE FACES OF THE MEN
They are marching to the Marne
They are marching to the Meuse
They are marching to the Somme
They are marching to Verdun
They are the army never returning
and the women who love them
The mothers and sisters, the wives and the lovers
will never look into their faces again
Dr. Strangelove is getting more real by the day
Not sure what to say to be honest.
It’s just all sad, unfortunate and unnecessary.
