Facing possible defeat against Russia, will the U.S. go nuclear?

Losing and desperate, will Biden do the unthinkable? Moscow believes that talk of supplying Kiev with F-16s is really a NATO plan to introduce nuclear weapons into the war in southwest Russia.

A year ago, we were told that Russia is out of weapons and ammo, its soldiers are demoralized, its economy on the verge of collapse and the people ravaged by poverty. Just a little more pressure and there’ll be a new Russian revolution and the West will triumph over Vladimir Putin. That’s what Americans and Europeans were told by their governments and media.

Fed lies by their intelligence agencies and only embracing information that makes them feel good and vindicated, NATO policymakers are hostages to their own propaganda. And this makes them very dangerous for all of humanity. Sadly, we are on the verge of a new level of dangerous escalation in NATO’s war in southwest Russia.

After just 16 days of the so-called NATO/ Ukrainian ‘counteroffensive’, it’s clear that Russia is winning. Ukraine’s massive army (UAF) has only taken a few small villages. They’ve only reached Russian forward positions, and are still about 5 miles (of open fields) from the main Russian defensive lines, which run very deep.

The battlefield is littered with Ukrainian dead and burnt NATO vehicles. The photos and videos have shocked even the most ardent NATO propagandists, who do their best to conceal the extent of this disastrous ‘counteroffensive’. If the western public knew the full truth, then social and political upheaval would quickly follow.

The UAF is reported to have lost 25-30% of the NATO equipment supplied — as much as 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles. UAF casualties might be 10,000 killed and wounded. Russia’s losses are believed to be just 10% of that.

Unless NATO takes drastic action, then the Ukrainian ‘counteroffensive’ will go down as one of the worst defeats in world military history. How is it possible that ‘weak’ Russia, all by itself, is defeating an alliance of nearly 50 of the world’s most highly developed and advanced countries?!

I will make my position clear. Indeed it has hardened since this conflict began. Stopping the unabashed pro-Nazi regime in Kiev and its NATO patrons is the single most important task before our generation. And I mean for the entire global community. The future of human civilization is at stake. Kiev openly glorifies Ukraine’s Nazi past. We must never ever accept that. And by supporting Kiev, NATO has made its most abominable and fateful decision since 1945.

Restoring freedom and democracy in the West, which is ruled by militaristic liberal regimes, is vital to ensuring the safety and future of mankind. We must bring an end to America’s era of ‘forever wars’ with millions killed in brutal invasions since 2001, and then serve justice to the racist, militarist elites responsible for such crimes. We must bring peace to the planet.

Yet, we shouldn’t expect that they’ll easily admit defeat in their war against Russia. NATO elites have crossed the proverbial Rubicon; they’ve gone too far, and they know that defeat at the hands of Russia could mean revolution at home. They still have plenty of dirty tricks up their sleeves and they’ll do everything possible to destroy Russia, even plunging all of Europe into a world war.

Trillions of dollars have been spent on NATO wars and invasions over the past 25 years, and western elites are desperately trying to postpone the day of reckoning — financial and economic collapse. If they can defeat Russia, then they’ll be able to portray themselves as glorious conquerors, and avert a social explosion at home.

However, if NATO loses this war — which I think is highly likely — then there’ll be a mighty tsunami of popular rage that’ll wash away the powerful western elites.

So, what does this have to do with NATO possibly sending F-16s to Kiev?

At the moment, Russia has about 900 fighter jets. Ukraine has maybe a few dozen at best, and as soon as they take to the air, they’re often quickly shot down. If NATO sends a few dozen F-16s to Kiev then it won’t change the battlefield calculus at all. So, what’s the real purpose of the plan to send F-16s to Kiev?

I struggled to understand this question until I listened to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov speak on Friday. He said the real danger is that F-16s can carry nuclear weapons.

“The F-16s are capable of carrying nuclear weapons. We've voiced our concerns in the strongest terms in the UN. The U.S. downplays this threat. But we won't stand by idly. Our military will detect those F-16s that might carry nuclear weapons and we will react. Our military knows what to do. F-16s are military technology and if we see them heading to Ukraine we will react,” said Lavrov.

Indeed, this can be the only reason for NATO to send the F-16s to Kiev. They want to have that nuclear option available. Imagine this possible scenario — by autumn, the UAF is pretty much crushed and pushed back; its lines rapidly collapsing as exhausted Ukrainian soldiers mutiny and shoot their officers.

NATO will have to act. It doesn’t want to send in its soldiers, so it scrambles F-16s with nuclear weapons to attack advancing Russian troops. Of course, NATO governments and media will falsely claim that Russia nuked its own troops, and then they’ll demand that the UN and the global community take action against Moscow.

Yes, this sounds outlandish, but this is the insane and evil level of NATO policymakers today. Yes, they are capable of this.

Many observers, myself included, have remarked how Russia has only utilized a small amount of its vast firepower in this unofficial war with NATO.

I have two thoughts about this. First, I suspect Russia is holding back because it anticipates a wider NATO invasion; so it keeps the bulk of its forces ready for that possibility. Just look at the massive NATO buildup on the border with Belarus, which is allied with Russia.

Second, as I wrote a year ago, the Donbass and Zaporozhye fronts have been carefully crafted by Moscow to be a trap — to suck NATO into a conflict on Russia’s doorstep. Basically, it’s a quagmire like Vietnam. In fact, the regions where the fighting now rages have been officially incorporated into the Russian Federation.

Russia is fighting on its own land, with the support of the locals. That’s a huge moral advantage. Ukraine is the invader, and it has promised to massacre all the local Russians. Also, logistically speaking, Russia can easily supply its front lines. Meanwhile, NATO/ UAF lines of supply are stretched and strained, and vulnerable to Russian attack.

Still, the fact remains that the credibility of Russia’s military remains weak. During the first Cold War, NATO was very afraid of the USSR, and thus, was very careful, often worried that the slightest conflict with Moscow would quickly escalate into nuclear war. Hence, there was no land war in Europe back then. Today, of course, that’s not the case. NATO’s aggression against Russia is fueled precisely by the belief that Russia is weak and won’t respond forcefully.

So, how does Russia restore its credibility? It’s probably too late for that. And this is why the situation with the F-16s is so unnerving. How does the global community stop NATO from pushing the conflict to nuclear war? I don’t have an answer. But this is the greatest threat to global civilization.

Despite the disinformation spread by western media, in private NATO officials know very well that President Putin, who is a Christian, won’t use nuclear weapons. But unfortunately, this perceived ‘weakness’ is precisely what incites the West to even more outrageous and provocative action.

I brought this issue up with geopolitical experts in Moscow, and they said Putin understands that NATO wants to provoke Moscow to do something rash and to ignite a major war in Europe. Thus, the Kremlin’s policy is to remain calm and not respond rashly to NATO/ Ukrainian terrorist attacks. Instead, Russia continues to methodically dismantle Kiev’s military capabilities, according to the goals originally stated in February 2022.

In this context, what can Russia do? Lavrov offered interesting clues. Russia will build a world without the West — A strong community of nations.

“The world will be different,” said Lavrov. “Autonomy and independence from any western structures are becoming the main trend today across the globe. Relations between the West and Russia have ended and will stay like this for a long time. The West has lost Russia. The sooner we part with the remaining illusions [about good relations with the West] the better for Russia.”

Yet, Lavrov offered hope to those American allies that might want to turn their back on Washington’s militarism and destructive policies.

“Russia understands that we can only rely on ourselves and build relations with countries that are willing to show mutual respect and build beneficial partnerships. Our door is open to all countries, even those under U.S. domination that are forced by Washington to take part in its ideological and geopolitical games.”
