Russia and NATO both ready to use Nukes...

[conspiracy analyst]

In recent days both the Russian general staff and the NATO one are ready in their new military plans to use nuclear weapons...

RUSSIA’S military chief of staff General Baluyevsky has said Russia is ready to use force, pre-emptively if necessary and with nuclear weapons, to defend itself against the threats coming from countries that are seeking ‘global hegemony’.

His words were: ‘We do not intend to attack anyone, but we consider it necessary for all our partners in the world community to clearly understand. . . that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including preventively, including with the use of nuclear weapons.’

The Russian military have an understanding of the fact that the Russian Federation is now the number one target of the imperialist war drive.

This understanding has arisen after the imperialist powers have driven NATO right up to Russia’s western borders and have taken the decision to build radar and missile sites in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Russia responded to this by suspending the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty, under which Russia greatly reduced its tank and infantry forces.

This situation is now being further aggravated by the US-UK drive to declare the independence of the Serbian province of Kosovo, detaching it from Serbia.

The Serbian government has declared that it will not accept any such declaration of independence which will encourage Albania to think that the time has come for it to expand and establish a Greater Albania, plunging the Balkans into a new round of wars.

The Western powers see the declaration of Kosovan independence as the last nail in the coffin of the Yugoslav workers’ state, which they determined to destroy when the Red Army retreated from eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Russia was promised by Thatcher and Reagan that if it withdrew from Eastern Europe those countries would not become part of NATO, but would become a series of buffer states between NATO and Russia.
Once the Red Army was withdrawn, this promise was binned and NATO advanced eastwards bringing the European Union with it.

NATO has developed a tactic for halting the ‘imminent’ spread of nuclear weapons or of other weapons of mass destruction.

This is a formula tailor-made for confronting and attacking states such as Iran who are standing fast by their rights, in Iran’s case its right to develop nuclear power for its energy needs.

It is being accused by the US and its allies of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, with some insisting that it is very close to developing a nuclear weapon.

The NATO maxim is that only the Western powers and their allies such as Israel and Pakistan are entitled to possess nuclear weaponry, or even develop nuclear power programmes.

Its hue and cry over ‘Iranian ambitions’ is the same tactic that the US and the UK used against Iraq – a false accusation that it was developing weapons of mass destruction, – to prepare the way for an invasion.

Of course the whole thing was a cloak for an attempt to seize Iraq’s oil and gas wealth.

The pre-emptive nuclear assault is now being adopted by NATO as a tactic for the simple reason that after the mauling that US and UK forces are taking in Iraq, the US does not fancy another land war in Asia against the Iranian masses and their allies.

The tactic is to strike pre-emptively with nuclear weapons, perhaps using tactical nuclear weaponry, to show the oppressed nations such as Iran that the US-UK axis will not hesitate to completely obliterate them.

What theory there is for NATO pre-emptive nuclear strikes has been launched in a special manifesto.
This manifesto for a ‘new NATO’, has been written by five very senior military figures.

These warriors are agitating for a ‘new NATO’ that will bring the US and the EU together behind a ‘grand strategy’ whose basic axiom is that ‘a first strike nuclear option remains an indispensable instrument’ as there is ‘simply no realistic prospect of a nuclear-free world’.

The work has already been presented to the Pentagon and to NATO’s secretary general in the last week and will be discussed at the NATO summit in Bucharest this summer.

The authors are General Klaus Naumann, Germany’s ex-chairman of Nato’s military committee; Lord Inge, field marshal and ex-chief of the UK general staff; General John Shalikashvili, the former chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff and Nato’s ex-supreme commander in Europe; General Henk van den Breemen, a former Dutch chief of staff; and Admiral Jacques Lanxade, a former French chief of staff.

Their list of enemies include political fanaticism and religious fundamentalism, the spread of WMDs, and environmental migration of millions caused by climate change.

The remedy for decisive action against these evils is majority voting in NATO bodies, with only those who take part in operations having a role in decision making, and being able to use force without UN security council authorisation when ‘immediate action is needed’. This is the full Bush-Blair programme for unilateral action by the imperialist powers.
