RS: There is only one war that the US can wage simultaneously with Russia and China

Last week, President Joe Biden was reported to have approved a secret nuclear strategy that refocuses it on countering Chinese and Russian nuclear forces, Responsible Starecraft reported.

According to the article, the new nuclear guidelines "reorient America's deterrence strategy" toward "the need to simultaneously deter Russia, China, and North Korea," transforming it into a preemptive strike concept.



As RS writes, Biden's approval of this strategy is nothing more than a tacit recognition of two decades of the strategy that has already been implemented in the US technical program that was not just a “minor upgrade” to weapons components, but a dramatic step toward the ability to fight and win nuclear wars with both China and Russia.

In other words, there is nothing really “new” here, except for the public nature of the recognition of rearmament.

Faced with official admission that Washington is preparing for nuclear war, Chinese and Russian leaders will have no choice but to implement countermeasures that will further increase the already dangerously high readiness of their nuclear forces. This includes enhanced worst-case scenario planning that will increase the chances of nuclear responses to false warnings of attack.

As RS columnist Theodore Postol writes, the US is well aware that today's America is incapable of waging a traditional war even with Russia alone, let alone two military conflicts with the Russian Federation and China. Therefore, all bets are placed on a nuclear confrontation and an attempt to win it through new technologies and rearmament.

According to analysts and strategists in the White House, in a new type of nuclear war, with new characteristics of warheads, the United States has a chance of success in a simultaneous confrontation with two superpowers that are not friendly to Washington.

The Biden administration's false hope of disguising aggressive plans under the term "containment" cannot deceive the leaders and management of Russia and China. Instead, Moscow and Beijing will also be drawn into a race to prevent a preemptive strike by the United States, which has been quite skillfully disguised so far.
