Trump on August 2nd: “When we talk about nuclear, we have to be prepared, and we’re totally prepared” Donald Trump.
Whereas, in the U.S., Presidents — especially Trump — talk about a World War Three as-if it will have a winner and a loser, no Russian President has ever spoken of a nuclear conflict between Russia and NATO in any such terms, and all have known and stated that it would be only lose-lose; and the reason for its being lose-lose is that, within two years of the explosions (which would be over within an hour), half of the world’s people would be dead, most of them from the starvation produced by the years-long darkness resulting from “nuclear winter,” which would utterly destroy agriculture. So, either Trump is an idiot, or else he is a liar — or both — in order for him to say such a thing as “We’re totally prepared” for that; and, if his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, hasn’t informed him of the reality on this matter, then she is a failure; and if she has informed him of it and he nonetheless says what he said, then she should promptly resign and make a public statement honestly explaining to the public why she did — because, otherwise, she will then be sharing in his guilt for the world-destroying war: WW3.
NO nation can be prepared for a WW3. A war that will ultimately end almost if not all life on this planet is NOT something that ANY nation can even POSSIBLY “be prepared for.” However, what WOULD be possible (and now perhaps even likely) is for Trump to START such a war. Putin has repeatedly made clear that he WON’T, but also that if America does, then America will immediately be obliterated, even if that initial American strike has already obliterated Moscow (eliminated Russia’s central command in The Kremlin).
On August 5th, the three finest public geostrategists — former U.N. weapons-inspector Scott Ritter, retired CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson, and Alexander Mercouris, who puts all of this into the broader diplomatic and economic context — all were in agreement that Trump actually does aim to win a nuclear war with Russia:

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

re the US’s push for nukes: All of the indications are that TPTB are fully aware of the following calamities that are going to befall Modern Humans (+/- 8 billion people), from around 2030 (hence the UN’s 2030 Agenda, end of cars, 15 Minute Cities, end of meat, end of freedoms incl to travel) – the first of which we are already witnessing: a failing economy, never recovered from the ’08 crisis, caused by the diminishing surplus energy available from oil after the demands of exploration, extraction, refining and delivery to the economy are subtracted, hence the West’s desire to… Read more »
