We Are Headed For War-Paul Craig Roberts By Greg Hunter On September 21, 2016 In Political Analysis Former Assistant Treasury Secretary (in the Reagan Administration) Dr. Paul Craig Roberts has a stark warning for the world. Dr. Roberts says, “We changed our nuclear doctrine. It used to be we used nuclear weapons only in retaliation. There was no first use, but the George W. Bush regime, the Neocons, changed our nuclear doctrine. It’s now a preemptive first strike. So, this tells both the Russians and Chinese they could get a preemptive first strike. Then, we tell the Russians we are putting missiles right on your border. You won’t have two minutes’ notice. They can’t accept that. It’s too much risk from a crazy country (U.S.) that won’t negotiate with them. . . . So, we’re headed for war. I think the only thing that would block it is if one or two of the European governments realize that they have nothing whatsoever to gain with a conflict with Russia. . . . The only thing they could do to prevent a nuclear war is to pull out of NATO.” Dr. Roberts also contends, “The tensions now between the United States and Russia are higher than they ever were during the cold war. For this reason, it is very dangerous. It is dangerous for another reason. In all of my life, every President worked to reduce tensions with Russia. Kennedy worked with Khrushchev to defuse the Cuban missile crisis, and part of the deal was Kennedy pulled American missiles out of Turkey. We know Richard Nixon worked . . . very hard to get a strategic arms limitation treaty. . . . Now, we have NATO right on Russia’s border. This is a massive violation of commitments that the United States made. We now have extremely high amounts of tensions, and I think with this recent attack by the United States on Syrian troops, it has made it perfectly clear to the Russian government that diplomacy is useless, and they cannot reach a diplomatic understanding with the United States. Therefore, we have reached the point where force confronts force.” Why are American so in the dark about the dire global risks of nuclear war? Dr. Roberts, who is an award winning journalist and former editor and columnist at the Wall Street Journal, says, “There are no longer any independent networks. ABC, NBC and CBS are all cogs in huge conglomerates. The media companies are not run by journalists. They are run by former government officials and corporate advertising executives who have no interest whatsoever in telling the truth. . . . So, essentially, there is no longer any media. It’s a ministry of propaganda.” On the economy, with around 94 million people out of the workforce and the near record low Labor Force Participation rate, Dr. Roberts says, “The Labor Force Participation rate never falls during a recovery. It rises because people are entering the labor force to take advantage of the strong economy and jobs. So, there isn’t any economy. There is a house of cards that is held together by central bank money creation. The money flows into financial assets. That’s what keeps the stock market up, and it flows into bonds, which is why we have essentially 0% interest rates. . . . So, the economy is essentially a hoax.

We're headed into Cold War II, of our own choosing. We're already in a bunch of hot wars - in Iraq and Afghanistan - and we're not winning. We're not headed for a hot war with Russia, because that would mean the end of the world.
It does not. It means "only" the ruin of those countries that got hit.
And the poisoning of the rest of it. And the collapse of the world economic system, with mass starvation in many of the countries that were not directly hit.
Until 1992 more than 2 thousand nuclear test explosions took place, and many were much dirtier than today. Not really, the other countries will get freedom from rent seeking global capitalism and will be freed from crushing debts.
20,000 going off in the atmosphere all at once is likely to produce a grimmer effect. Well, if the US, Europe, Russia and China are smoking holes, there goes the whole manufacturing base, and the charity base. The population of Africa in particular is always in a parlous state. Take away all of the important trading partners, and all of the foreign import and export markets, and every economy in the world will crash. They will crash and they won't recover. Populations will die off to levels sustainable without Western medicine or trade. It'll be a mess. Or rather, it won't be, because neither the Russians nor the Americans are stupid enough to commit suicide.
Like in Haiti?
Haiti just dies en masse. No US or UN relief. No shipments of food from anywhere. Huge overpopulation. No natural resources. Nobody to buy their goods. Mass starvation and disease outbreaks. The destruction of the industrialized world would mean mass die offs in the Third World.
Trump is eager to get into wars of humanitarian intervention. If there's a leader somewhere who's mean to their people, trump wants to "surgically" remove them, and support the insurgents, like ISIS. It's for the children, or some crapola like that. I don't like it. If Trump is going to be interventionism lite - or interventionism anything - I don't want anything to do with him. I think it's a vain hope that we will quit or even moderate our main MO: boots and bombs, spooks and bribes for the foreseeable future. We're in the grip of entrenched piratical forces that shove our elected leaders around on the chessboard as it suits them while the country that most fills their pockets spirals down the latrine.
This was all foreseen in scripture. When you hear of rumours of war be not troubled for He is near and all of these things must come to pass before He returns to gather His people. We are the last generation to witness these violent times. Be not your heart troubled but stay true to Him.
