7 Nov 2022 – <\/em>The commander of the US nuclear arsenal has stated unequivocally that the war in Ukraine is just a warmup exercise for a much larger conflict that\u2019s already in the mail.<\/p>\n

Antiwar\u2019s Dave DeCamp reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The commander that oversees US nuclear forces delivered an ominous warning at a naval conference last week by calling the war in Ukraine a \u201cwarmup\u201d for the \u201cbig one\u201d that is to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Ukraine crisis that we\u2019re in right now, this is just the warmup,\u201d said Navy Adm. Charles Richard, the commander of US Strategic command. \u201cThe big one is coming. And it isn\u2019t going to be very long before we\u2019re going to get tested in ways that we haven\u2019t been tested [in] a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard\u2019s warning came after the US released its new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR),\u00a0which reaffirms that the US doctrine allows for the first use of nuclear weapons<\/a>. The review says that the purpose of the US nuclear arsenal is to \u201cdeter strategic attacks, assure allies and partners, and achieve US objectives if deterrence fails.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not only does Richard appear to believe that a hot war between major world powers is a foregone conclusion, he\u00a0has also previously stated<\/a> that a nuclear war with Russia or China is now \u201ca very real possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US empire really is threatening all life on Earth with potential nuclear apocalypse:<\/p>\n

The US military commander who oversees nuclear forces said, \u201cThis Ukraine crisis that we\u2019re in right now, this is just the warmup\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big one is coming,\u201d he added https:\/\/t.co\/6c1iLEDOEk<\/a><\/p>\n
