Good news: "in 28 out of 30 scenarios some sort of nuclear exchange occurs"

WW1 revealed the personality of our civilization,” Berdyaev writes; “it cheapened life, it taught man to take no thought for human life and personality, to consider them as means and instruments in the hands of the fatality of history.” 

Among many things perplexing my thought is how comfortable the D.C. Establishment is with nuclear war. Either they believe their own PR from the 80’s that with enough shovels we win or in arrogance the thought is we ride out the storm a mile deep and emerge victorious or the 27 off world military bases holding miles of sperm and ova are ready for uncorking or just so what, I need more blow for Joe and I gets a nice mansion and a pension for evah and my kids with terrible grades get into Stanford Law and we will win! On the other hand, why not just leave it that they sold their soul and are doing their master’s bidding.

The Biden administration has asked Congress to provide more than $13 billion in emergency defense aid to Ukraine and an additional $8 billion for humanitarian support through the end of the year

Way way way back I wrote a book review for my hometown paper on the Cold and the Dark by Sagan. At the time the science was 100 megaton exchange burning cities would create a nuclear winter for the survivors. The book makes dramatic long-lasting climate predictions of the effect a nuclear winter would have on the Earth, an event that is suggested by the authors to follow both a city countervalue strike during a nuclear war, and especially following strikes on oil refineries and fuel depots.

The book was released following a highly publicised 1983 study co-authored by Sagan published in the journal Science.

Well folks 40 years have come and gone and politicians are throwing stones “ashes ashes all fall down” is another way to say STOP.

Defense contractor wargames the Russia-Ukraine war: "in 28 out of 30 scenarios some sort of nuclear exchange occurs"

"I have fought more than thirty combat simulations in wargames under my own direction for a private defense contract over the last several months, looking at various aspects of the Russia-Ukraine war, and one thing is clear: the chances of a nuclear war increase significantly every day that passes.

In every scenario I tested, the Biden Administration slowly gives Ukraine ever more advanced weapons like ATACMS, F-16s, and other platforms that Russia has consistently warned pose a direct military threat. While each scenario has postulated a different point at which Moscow decides to use a tactical nuclear weapon in order to counter conventional platforms it can’t easily defeat, the chances that Russia uses nukes grow as new and more powerful military capabilities are introduced into the battlefield by the West.

In fact, in 28 of the thirty scenarios I have run since the war began, some sort of nuclear exchange occurs. The good news is there is a way out of this crisis — however imperfect it may be. In the two scenarios where nuclear war was averted, direct negotiations led to a ceasefire...." [less than 50%] [link to www.globalresearch.ca (secure)]

Russia’s government announced that it has put its nuclear-capable Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile system on combat duty, the latest in a series of nuclear threats and escalations dating back to the beginning of the war in Ukraine. In theory, the missile is capable of delivering a nuclear payload as far as the United States, though many experts question its actual capabilities and despite numerous threats, Russia has shown no signs it is actually preparing to use a nuclear weapon.

Leon Bloy-“The Prophet is above all a Voice to call down Justice. If one is absolutely determined, with or without irony, to bestow this magnificent name upon such a hurler of curses as I am, one must at once accept the consequence, drawn from the very nature of things, that my shouts will have the power to accelerate devastation. In this sense shall I be a prophet, as much as it is possible to be one without divine inspiration, precisely as a man of prayer is a worker of miracles.”—“The Hurler of Curses”
