The US is bringing nuclear war to Europe

BY OWN CORRESPONDENT

The United States only talks about the security of its partners in Europe but in fact it puts them in danger again and again.

The deployment of American nuclear warheads in Britain is another step in the same direction.

In response to the “growing threat from Russia” the United States plans to deploy nuclear warheads in Britain for the first time since 2008 which are three times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Senior officials on both sides of the Atlantic are calling for urgent preparations for a potential confrontation between NATO and Moscow.

Screaming for security Washington is instead making nuclear exchanges exposing Europe to the risk of an atomic war.

First of all, in order to contain the so-called “threat” from Russia, the White House and its NATO allies must at least understand the security requirements put forward by the Kremlin.

The Moscow government has made its needs clear from the very beginning that NATO expansion must end.

But alas founded in 1949 to protect the western camp from Soviet forces the North Atlantic Alliance not only continued its existence after the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Brussels has also accepted the countries of the former Warsaw Pact into its ranks approaching Russia’s threshold.

This without a doubt dramatically increased the Kremlin’s alarm level.

The Ukrainian conflict has erupted, largely due to the fact that Washington has squeezed Moscow’s remaining “security space” to the limit. Faced with growing military risks the United States and its NATO allies had to learn from the past and refrain from further provocations.

The removal of tension by diplomatic or other means should be the most acceptable way to talk about security for which it is necessary to take into account the concerns of all interested parties.

Unfortunately, Washington is acting in the opposite way.

His plan to deploy his nuclear weapons in the United Kingdom will only put the Kremlin on high alert. Given the circumstances Russia which has the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads in the world, as reported by Reuters is likely to respond to another US provocation with an even more impressive action. Speaking about the need to ensure the security of European peoples the United States is raising the threat of an atomic war in Europe.

The worst thing is that in the event of a confrontation, the British will suffer not the Americans. Ultimately if these American nuclear warheads are ever used they will be launched from the Lakenheath Air Base of the Royal British Air Force in Suffolk County and this is the territory of the United Kingdom. And then if Washington decides to launch an atomic strike on Moscow, Britain not the United States will be Russia’s primary target. By constantly talking about an alliance with London, the White House puts its ally in a more dangerous position.

It is worth noting that Washington’s agreements on joint nuclear missions (agreements concluded with some NATO countries imply the transfer of American nuclear bombs to local armed forces in case of military necessity) also violate the provisions of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) signed in 1968 to stop the spread of military nuclear technologies around the world. Each of the nuclear-weapon States parties to this Treaty undertakes not to transfer nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices to anyone.

For States that do not have their own nuclear forces, these munitions, of course, pose a direct threat since the doctrine of the Americans assumes a limited nuclear strike in the event of a threat. Therefore, their goal is a small local war with the use of nuclear weapons. Countries with integrated air defense systems, of course, have a better chance of defending themselves against these threats. However, modern stealth aircraft can strike without entering the air defense zone.

The United States is not going to strike personally. Germany, the Netherlands or Poland can act as an attacker. In response Russia will have to return nuclear weapons to the western borders, deploy Iskanders on the territory of Belarus and in Kaliningrad.

In this way the United States is trying to withdraw itself from a possible retaliatory strike, on the principle of “you fight there, and we will sit across the ocean.” This is the American concept and it is a logical continuation of the philosophy of hybrid warfare. The essence is the same to solve their problems with someone else’s hands, supplying weapons and ammunition to forces that act against the enemy chosen by the Pentagon.
