The United States must be ready for a nuclear war with China or Russia and seek new ways to deter both countries’ use of newly acquired advanced strategic weapons, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command is warning in a major new review of the global balance of nuclear forces.
Adm. Charles Richard, writing in the current issue of the U.S. Naval Institute journal Proceedings, offered a blunt and detailed assessment that the luxury of living in a post-Cold War era when direct armed conflict with a rival nuclear power was not possible is over.
“There is a real possibility that a regional crisis with Russia or China could escalate quickly to a conflict involving nuclear weapons, if they perceived a conventional loss would threaten the regime or state,” the four-star admiral wrote.

Maybe the earthquake drills here in SoCal will go back to Air Raid drills like they used to be when I was in school.

Russia? Forty years ago,maybe...but not today. China,North Korea and Iran are,by far,the most dangerous countries in the world.

Maybe if we keep buying their garbage, keep letting them steal or secrets, and keep showing them that we won’t stand up to them under any circumstances, we can avert this nuclear war? Joe Biden is on it.

If there ever was a time to do it it’s now. We have the worst most inept, ignorant and corrupt administration since since Obama.
