NATO clowns dreaming of a war on Russia would have to come up with an ironclad system to knock out these Iskanders. вЂ“ And then thereвЂ™s the Sukhoi T-50 PAK FA. The Iskander can reach targets deep inside Europe. Translation: an ultimate lethal weapon against airfields or logistic infrastructure. вЂ“ The Russian Iskander missile travels at Mach 7 вЂ“ with a range of 400km, carrying a 700kg warhead of several varieties, and with a circular error probability of around five meters. Russia, for its part, is already focusing on the state of the art S-500 вЂ“ which essentially makes the Patriot anti-missile system look like a V-2 from WWII. вЂ“ The S-400 and S-500 double trouble Moscow has agreed to sell the S-400 surface-to-air missile system to China the bottom line is this will make Beijing impermeable to US air power, ICBMs and cruise missiles. вЂ“ Russian ICBMs armed with MIRVs travel at about 18 Mach that is way faster than anything in the US arsenal. A few studies at least hint at the obvious glaring US strategic weakness. Washington/Wall Street elites are now deep into nuclear war paranoia. Then examine the strategic nuclear scenario, and itвЂ™s a totally different story. Take the compounded GDP of US, Germany, France and England and compare it to Russia itвЂ™s a victory by a landslide.

ItвЂ™s pointless to compare the US and Russia strategic nuclear capabilities based on numbers, but not on quality. Now for the вЂњthreatвЂќ of nuclear war in Europe вЂ“ bogus or otherwise. At least thereвЂ™s a countercurrent strands of informed Americans are wondering why the US should be paying for EuropeвЂ™s defense when European GDP is larger than the USвЂ™s. Washington has just announced that it will be pre-positioning more military vehicles in Europe, to be used in exercises or вЂњpotential military operations.вЂќ This is perfectly in tune with the relentless US вЂњthink tank-landвЂќ spin that NATO and the US will be вЂњforcedвЂќ to balance their commitment to security in Eastern Europe against potential Russian вЂњaggression.вЂќДЄs Ukraine, the Baltic States and Poland persist in compounded hysteria about such вЂњaggression,вЂќ the option of a post-MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) US-Russia nuclear war is now вЂ“ casually вЂ“ back on the discussion table. This means NATO вЂ“ essentially the US вЂ“ planted right on RussiaвЂ™s western border. Were Ukraine to become a NATO member in вЂ“ albeit remote вЂ“ future, the shatter belt buffer zone would disappear. Some of you may be familiar with the concept of вЂњshatter beltвЂќ вЂ“ territories and peoples that historically have been squeezed between the Germanic Eagle and the Russian Bear.ДЄs we stand, the whole shatter belt вЂ“ apart from Ukraine and Belarus вЂ“ has become NATO members. The US-propelled vassal Petro Poroshenko, currently starring in the oligarch dance in Ukraine this week advanced the proposition that Ukrainians in the near future, after his вЂњreformsвЂќ, will be asked to vote on whether to join NATO. Are the US, NATO and Russia on a mad spiral leading to war in Europe? Is it inevitable? Far from it.
