Key points
“...
Washington thinks nuclear war can be won and is planning for a first
strike on Russia, and perhaps China, in order to prevent any
challenge to Washington’s world hegemony.”
“...
US strategic doctrine was changed and the role of nuclear missiles
was elevated from a retaliatory role to an offensive first strike
role. US anti-ballistic missile (ABM) bases have been established in
Poland on Russia’s frontier, and other bases are planned. When
completed Russia will be ringed with US missile bases.”
“The
reason Washington gave for the ABM base in Poland is to protect
Europe from Iranian ICBMs. Washington and every European government
knows that Iran has no ICBMs and that Iran has not indicated any
intent to attack Europe. No government believes Washington’s
reasons. Every government realizes that Washington’s reasons are
feeble attempts to hide the fact that it is creating the capability
on the ground to win a nuclear war.”
“...
Washington believes that it can win a nuclear war with little or no
damage to the US. This belief makes nuclear war likely. As Steven
Starr makes clear, this belief is based in ignorance. Nuclear war has
no winner. Even if US cities were saved from retaliation by ABMs, the
radiation and nuclear winter effects of the weapons that hit Russia
and China would destroy the US as well.”
“Washington
has created a dangerous situation. As Russia and China are clearly
threatened with a first strike, they might decide to strike first
themselves. Why should Russia and China sit and await the inevitable
while their adversary creates the ability to protect itself by
developing its ABM shield? Once Washington completes the shield,
Russia and China are certain to be attacked, unless they surrender in
advance.”
“In
the 21st century Washington has destroyed in whole or part seven
countries. Millions of peoples murdered, maimed, displaced, and
Washington has shown no remorse whatsoever.”
