“The U.S. military must shift its principal assumption from ‘nuclear employment is not possible’ to ‘nuclear employment is a very real possibility.’” — Adm. Richards, head of U.S. Strategic Command This astonishing utterance from the head of U.S. Strategic Command, Adm. Charles Richard, so soon after President Biden’s takeover, tells us that something potentially much worse lies below the worsening of U.S.-Russia relations. “There is a real possibility,” Admiral Richard wrote in the February U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings, “that a regional crisis with Russia or China could escalate quickly to a conflict involving nuclear weapons.” And this is only one of several shocking indications pointing in the same direction since Biden’s inauguration. They include the blowup of the latest “Navalny” attempt at a color revolution to overthrow President Vladimir Putin in Russia and the Jan. 31 call by the Atlantic Council (a major NATO organization) for a U.S. campaign “laser-focused,” on toppling China’s President Xi Jinping and “his inner circle.” Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the Schiller Institute, will lead a virtual roundtable discussion this Saturday, Feb. 13 at 1:00 p.m. eastern, with a number of strategic experts, on how the anti-Russia and anti-China campaigns in the West have been created, and how to reverse them.
