Top military officials with U.S. Strategic Command released a warning of feasible nuclear war with Russia as well as China.
The US, as well as the EU, enforced devastating sanctions on Russia and sent weapons into Ukraine creating a major risk to Russia following the illegal invasion of the sovereign nation. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin moved Russia’s nuclear deterrents to a higher state of alert of “a special regime of combat duty,” of Feb. 27th needlessly creating an escalation of tensions an already hazardous situation created by his indefensible decision to invade a sovereign nation.
When The Military Officials Are Talking About Nuclear War… It’s Time To Take Notice
Air Force Maj. Gen. Ferdinand B. Stoss, STRATCOM director of strategies and policy, released his warning while appearing virtually at the 2022 Nuclear Deterrence Summit. Speaking to a group of business sector experts, academics, and also others, Stoss painted a picture of a calculated environment that, in some ways, goes beyond even what the United States dealt with throughout the Cold War.
He said in a statement:
“I think we can agree that the United States, our allies, our partners—we have not faced this type of threat in over 30 years. And not just a threat, though. Like I mentioned before, this is the first time ever that we have a three-party nuclear peer dynamic. And we have no history of this. This is epic. And I don’t think we’ve fully dealt with all the ramifications that this is going to have as we march into the future, but we absolutely need to.”
Admiral Charles Richard, head of the United States Strategic Command, said it has actually become vital for the USA to have the capacity to defend itself against Russia and China at the exact same time, The Epoch Times reported.
Richard told the House Armed Solutions Committee on March 1:
“Today, we face two nuclear-capable near-peers who have the capability to unilaterally escalate a conflict to any level of violence in any domain worldwide, with any instrument of national power, and that is historically significant.”
Much more from The Epoch Times reports:
He pointed out that while the need to deter both China and Russia at the same time was only a major concern in April last year, the concern “has now become a reality.”
“That need is now an imperative,” he said.”
In the leadup to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russia and China deepened their economic and military ties in what they have called a “no-limits” partnership.
Both Russia and China claim to have hypersonic missiles capabilities, something the US has not yet developed.
