Reaganomics Architect: World War 3 Is Approaching

Paul Craig Roberts

If you are looking for someone with whom you will always agree, you will find that such person does not exist on this planet. Hence, if you are very much pro-Israel, some of Dr. Robert’s remarks will disturb you. However, nothing he says will disturb you as much as his prediction that WWIII is on the doorstep. He’s in a better position to analyze this than most of us, so we must not ignore him over a point or two on which we might be at variance.

Recall that President Trump said that Assad of Syria had to go. Not much has been said of this lately. But Roberts fills us in:

The Russians, in their anxiety to show the West how friendly they are, left Washington with a toe hold in Syria, which Washington is using to reopen the war. The Russians’ failure to finish the job has left Washington’s foreign mercenaries, misrepresented in the American presstitute media as “freedom fighters,” in a Syrian enclave. To get the war going again, Washington has to find a way to come to the aid of its mercenaries.

Dr. Roberts’ thesis is that Russia truly wanted to be friends with the West, but is still finding that impossible, beginning with the Obama administration. So Russia is moving to a war footing.

The Trump regime has found, or so it thinks, its excuse in the revival of the Obama regime’s fake charge of Syrian use of chemical weapons. This made-up lie by the Obama regime was put to rest by Russian intervention that made sure there were no Syrian chemical weapons. Indeed, if memory serves, Russia delivered the chemical weapons to the US for destruction. Little doubt Washington still has them and will use some of them with their Syrian markings for what appears to be a coming false flag attack that can be blamed on Assad. In other words, Washington will create a “situation,” blame Assad and Putin, and with or without congressional authorization introduce US intervention in behalf of Washington’s mercenaries.

Those are incredibly serious accusations, ones we would wish to believe are not true. But are they? Here’s Roberts’ conclusion:

Every time Russia fails to finish the job, as in Syria and Ukraine, Russia does not win Washington’s friendship, but extends to Washington yet another run at prevailing in the conflict that Washington initiated. Washington will not slack off until Washington is halted in its track, something that Russia does not seem willing to do. Consequently, Washington continues to drive the world to nuclear war.

Let’s not forget that Russia is continuing to aggressively upgrade its nuclear arsenal. We’ll turn to the Express for this story.

Vladimir Putin has ordered a second high-profile test of the world’s most unstoppable nuclear missile – the Satan 2 – capable of WIPING OUT Britain three times over with one blast.

The shockingly deadly missile is more than 3000 times more powerful than the bomb which leveled Hiroshima – and it is virtually undetectable.

As Russia faces condemnation across the planet for the state-sponsored act of terror on the streets of Salisbury, the test is being seen as a clear and hostile message of war to the world.

Putin and his cronies have reacted to evidence Russia ordered the poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury by raising tensions with barely veiled warnings of military action.

And the latest is the testing of the terrifying ‘Satan 2’ – formally known as an RS-28, which makes all Russia’s existing nukes look like firecrackers.

Imagine the power that accrues to a nation that can fire one undetectable nuclear missile that could wipe out the entire state of Texas. Put one in the Pacific Northwest and that’s the end to Microsoft, Boeing, our Bremerton naval facility, Electric Boat and other firms that make and service our nuclear submarines, not to mention everything else in Washington state, Oregon, Northern California and points further east. All from one, unstoppable missile.

If that is not disturbing enough and you want details on this monster named “Satan-2,” here you go.

The RS-28 statistics make for frightening reading:

• A single RS-28 is capable of wiping out an area the size of France or Texas – or the entire UK with one blast

• The RS-28 has an incredibly short launch-burn phase – the time US satellites find it easiest to track – and it then basically disappears

• Because of its increased trajectory the Satan-2 can travel over the South Pole to hit the West rather than the shorter North Pole route. This again means it is invisible to US tracking satellites.

• The RS-28 carries 16 nuclear warheads which can be individually targeted – and a raft of high-tech counter-measures to further avoid detection.

• The Satan-2 packs a 50 MEGATON nuclear punch – more than 3000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.

The only comforting information is that it is alleged that this missile will not enter Russia’s deployed arsenal until at least 2019. Little comfort.

Finally, Newsweek reports of a real, bonafide threat issued by Russia against the US.

Army General Valery Gerasimov warned on Tuesday that the U.S. was preparing to launch raids against Moscow’s ally, the Syrian government, as it attempted to clear the pockets of insurgents—some of which were once backed by the West—in the suburbs of the capital city of Damascus. Gerasimov, who acted as chief of Russia’s general staff and deputy defense minister, claimed that the U.S. would strike under the false pretense of a chemical weapon attack—a tactic that Russia has denied the Syrian military utilizes—and vowed to fight back.

Little comfort that Satan-2 isn’t deployed yet. On the other hand, should the U.S. attack Syria and Russia retaliate against U.S. forces in response, the question becomes, what next?

We can’t be sure of the precise response, but we can be sure that it will be nothing good.
