NATO website calls for nuclear war preparation
GVS ^ | 10/5/23 | GVS

NATO has published an article by a retired American defense official, which calls on the bloc to fight and win a limited nuclear war against Russia. Should the US and China clash over Taiwan, the author claims that a full-scale war in Europe would likely follow.

The article was written by Gregory Weaver, who served as the principal nuclear and missile defense advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

There are some on this site that want this. They really do.

Will my post be removed for saying this?

every nuclear war event in history has been limited... and there has only been ONE nuclear war... WW2 and the wipe out of Japanese Cities.

HISTORICALLY your statement is factually wrong.

Soon there will be weapons that will make nuclear weapons the least of our worries.

There is far too much fear of “Maxi Nuke War”. Instead, there seriously needs to be more policy development for “Mini Nuke War”.

“One thing leads to another” is not necessarily true with nuclear use. Especially if it is a small, tactical use with an ordinary target, instead of one promised to be escalatory.

For example, a naval nuclear mine. If used against a US aircraft carrier, it is clearly provocational. But if used near enough to water damage disable the fleet accompanying it, does it demand nuclear retaliation?

Russia is currently bragging about nuclear torpedoes that can generate a tsunami. But unless they said they did it, can we prove it?

Heck, that was a very credible site compared to this bunch of lying, half wit, rainbow warrior dipshits. But this is going strait to horse’s ass for confirmation just for you.

We should start posting that information in post 32 when it comes up, some people are starting to think that Potassium Iodide is a miracle cure for nuclear bombs or something.

“Heck, that was a very credible site.”

Based on what??? They - in Pakistan - cut and pasted remarks from an opinion in NATO Reviews own admission admittedly does not represent NATO policy - just an opinion by one man. That makes them “credible”???

We were the only nation to have nukes then.

History, in this context is useless.

With this many countries having nukes, there is no such thing as limited nuclear war.

Unproven speculation on your part as mutual assured destruction is now a proven deterrent.

“Please...we we’ve been doing this since the 50’s.”

Oh cmon man. You are bringing sensibility to the topic.
You are supposed to join in with drama and run around in a panic.

MAD is only valid until the nukes start flying.

MAD is suppose to deter nukes.

your statement of fact with words like NEVER was an UNtruth... historically proven to be wrong...

thus far, it has always been limited. for about 50+ years... so that is in fact a complete negation of your “NEVER” false statement.

you say it is different now... but that is NOT PROVEN to be the case... not even once since the end of WW2, 70 years ago about... you are wrong wrong and wrong...

your HEART may be in the right place... but your statement was false... and still is.
