Truthseeker: US plans 'first strike' on Russia

I think he did enough research.

Because to finish the war we would have had to invade Japan and even their civilians were training for combat. We would have lost millions more allied troops and eradicated 90% of the population of Japan to end a way they started. That is the kind of thing you get when politics and religion are mixed in such a way.

Emperor Hirohito was already thinking about surrendering to the Allies, after the Nazis did the same. Even the allies knew about it. There was no need to kill half-a-million civilians, just to test the new American weapon.

If anyone is stupid enough to make a nuclear first strike it will be North Korea, Pakistan, or India. I was going to include Israel, but they are more likely to use chemical.

I don't think we need to fear one stupid nation using a nuclear weapon.
This will not happen as almost anyone knows what a nuclear war will bring and that even the winner will be in fact a loser.

What we should fear is an accident , and this thing will happen sooner or later , the only question is how many of us will survive  , and how many hands and feet we will have after it .

I disagree with you. We need to fear one stupid nation / ruler capable of doing that. Sometimes mentally deranged people commit suicide after killing  large number of people. Such cases can't be ignored.

It's not just one stupid nation. It's one stupid nation and it's lapdog allies.

Every one of these individuals has the same interest: power

No problem



There is enough power for everybody.

[Nik1ab]

I don't think they want that kind of power

It is extremely unlikely that the US or Russia will directly attack each other. The current conflict will likely be similar to the cold war in that we "fought" to have the best military technology, spied on each other and funded groups/countries that was hostile to groups/countries that was hostile to the other.

A first strike cannot be ruled out, especially if the heads of state of either one of these countries are blood-thirsty (for example, Hillary Clinton of USA, Zhirinovskyi of Russia). That said, both these nations are more likely to use the fifth-columns residing inside their rival nations to stir unrest (such as Chechens in Russia).
