Can Trump prevent Biden from blowing up the world?

Can Trump prevent Biden from blowing up the world?

You will not be informed of it from mainstream news but the US and Russia are closer to nuclear war than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

That censorship may contribute to possible nuclear war being provoked by President Biden in his final 2 months. At the rate he’s going, he may keep Trump from taking office…because we’ll all be dead.

That is not hyperbole. When Biden authorized Ukraine to shoot long range missiles into Russia he put the US at war with Russia. This is not my take. It comes directly from Russian President Putin. He not only proclaimed it, he revised the Russian nuclear doctrine to state that any nuclear power assisting a non-nuclear power to attack Russia, puts the Russian nuclear option is on the table against both.

Ret. US Col. Douglas McGregor, a fervent critic of reckless US foreign policy, believes Russia has put its nuclear forces on high alert. He further states that will likely trigger a similar response from the US, if it hasn’t already.

Russia further raised the nuclear specter following the long-range attacks by firing a hypersonic Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) at sensitive Ukraine targets. The missile is nuclear capable and can hit targets thruout Europe. They cannot be stopped. Let’s hope Biden gets the point. But don’t count on it. Naval Rear Admiral Thomas Buchanan certainly did not. He says the “US is ready to have a nuclear war with Russia.”

Besides authorizing Ukraine to fire US long range missiles, Bided fast tracked $6 billion in weaponry ahead of Trump’s inauguration. The NY Times reports that US officials recently discussed giving Ukraine back some of its nukes to increase their bargaining position in any negotiated settlement. That is madness

No reasonable, knowledgeable military or diplomatic person argues that firing US long range missiles into Russia will make any difference in the war in Ukraine. None. Zero.
Than why did Biden do that after he vetoed allowing long range strikes a month ago when requested by UK Prime Minister Starmer last month?

We may never know that there are suggestions.

Is Biden seeking to escalate the war to box Trump in when he takes office January 20? Some call that ‘Trump proofing’ the war so that Trump both inherits it and has less options to end it.

Has Biden lost control of Ukraine policy to the most virulent Russian haters that have no fear of provoking nuclear Armageddon?

Or is it simply that Biden cannot fathom losing another war on his watch after Afghanistan.

Former weapons inspector Scott Ritter, another fervent US foreign policy critic, has called for mass mobilization in DC on December 7 to protest Biden’s reckless march to all-out war with Russia. He’s invited Donald Trump to attend. He wants Trump to promote his campaign promise to end the war without victory, something that Biden and his entire war party know is impossible.

If Trump attends and follows thru, that would be good. It would be much better if he comes out immediately to demand an end to reckless US escalation. He may not be president, but nobody can stop him from fervently raising the alarm over Biden’s nuclear brinkmanship with Russia.

One inadvertent, stupid error by the US, Ukraine or Russia and we’re all dead. Ponder that.
Everyone must raise their voice against the President Biden continuing to escalate a war that cannot be won on America’s or Ukraine’s terms.

Ritter believes that with media censorship and Biden’s refusal to even engage with Russia’s Putin like JFK did with Khrushchev in ’62, there are no guardrails to prevent him from self-destructing, taking peoplekind with him. He further believes Trump may be the only public figure with the opportunity to turn around America’s nuclear Titanic.

But Biden doesn’t need Trump to pivot to peace in Ukraine. He should look deep into his soul. If he does that, he can steer the US foreign policy Titanic away from a nuclear iceberg. But he likely won’t, making Trump filling the void to end the Ukraine war indispensable.

My anxiety about the US and Russia blundering into nuclear war 62 years ago was real and palpable. Today, I’m starting to get that old worrisome feeling again.
