PDD-60 is Bill Clinton’s presidential directive changing “launch on first warning” to launch only after the US is actually hit with nukes, which Joel Skousen has documented, and has shown recently that it hasn’t been rescinded. This is the first time I’ve seen Joel say that he believes Russia and China would attack even if they believed we would launch our nukes on first warning, ignoring PDD-60.

THE CHANGING GLOBALIST STRATEGY ON WAR AND TERROR

As long-term readers know, I have long documented how the US Deep State drummed up the war on terror in order, in part, to create the image of the US as the “bully of the world” which would help Russia and China justify their eventual attack on the West. Their actions around the world has created a true “ugly American” reputation especially in the Middle East after its military invasions of Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, after falsely blaming these countries for the 9/11 attack which justified all the atrocities during the “war on terror.” –Terror which our own Deep State created. …

And relative to the coming war a subscriber asked how the Russians and Chinese will ever feel like they can win against the US even with a nuclear first strike, since they don’t actually believe that the US will use PDD-60 to stop our forces from launching on warning.

It’s true. The Russians and Chinese don’t believe the US will absorb a nuclear first strike, but here is why they still think they can win even if the US does launch on warning.

First, they trust their extensive ABM systems (the largest in the world, with actual warheads) to shoot down many of our incoming warheads, Second, They intend to do a massive EMP strike with multiple high altitude warheads, hoping that it will take down our communications systems, even though the US claims the military is hardened. I doubt they are hardened enough.

Third, they have extensive bunkers for military and civilians, including whole underground bunker cities for their warhead and missile production facilities (like the Russians have inside Yamantau Mtn). Lastly, divided up between Russia and China, our missiles can attack only around 250 targets in each country, and the hardened ones take multiple hits to destroy. So, in the end, when they add it all up, they are convinced they can survive better than we, because of their vastly numerical warhead and missile advantages.
