Skousen: WW III Timing & Trigger — China won’t be able to help Russia occupy the US until 2027, following EMP/nukes. Taiwan may be the trigger event

From: Joel Skousen’s World Affairs Brief, June 7, 2024 — “Is Nuclear War Imminent over US/NATO Weapons to Ukraine?”

As I’ve explained many times before, Putin can’t nuke the West when he is in no position to consolidate that military destruction with occupation. He just doesn’t have the conventional military capacity or troops to do so. That is why he has to wait for China, and China won’t be ready until at least 2027. That doesn’t mean that the war will come in that year, only that China will probably be ready to exercise its aggressive plans to conquer. There will still need to be a trigger event, which may well be the invasion of Taiwan.

One More Timing Indicator for WWIII

Admiral John Aquilino, Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, on the verge of his retirement, issued one last warning to America, saying that the “Chinese leadership has directed the military to prepare for Taiwan’s invasion by 2027.”

“All indications point to the PLA meeting President Xi Jinping’s directive to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027,”, said in prepared testimony to U.S. Armed Services Committee on Wednesday. “Although the PRC claims it prefers to achieve unification through peaceful means, Xi will not renounce the use of force,” Aquilino added.

Russia can intercept our nukes though, because their ABMs just need to get near our missiles, and then explode. Whereas ours have to actually strike the thousands of mile-per-hour incoming missiles head on.

Defense Dept. report: China now has more than 500 nuclear warheads | My comment

By

On October 19, 2023

In Bomb Bomb America?, China, Joel Skousen, Russia, Spiritual, The End of America?

My comment:

Joel Skousen has been studying the nuclear capability of Russia for over 30 years. He recently said “Russia has about 10,000 warheads on missiles, and we have 400.” We’ve been downsizing, while Russia has been upsizing. Russia’s anti-ballistic missiles can take ours out too, while we can’t reliably take theirs out, because ours have to actually strike the missile. Russia’s only have to get near ours and then explode.

Russia has EMP weapons that can take down our electricity for a year, during which almost all Americans would die from that alone: no heat, water, sewer, transportation, communication, food, etc..

Lisa Murkowski gutted the bill that had passed the House, which was supposed to start the hardening of our power grid. She’s a traitor in more ways than one.

So we’re sitting ducks. Russia doesn’t have the manpower to takeover the US after they strike us, which is why they’re allying with China, who wants arable land: our lower-48. Russia wants Alaska back.

Dumitru Duduman and many others have prophesied Russia and China nuking the USA. But it will start with civil unrest, which probably hasn’t happened fully enough yet, but soon could. The globalists, including Biden are working hard on it.

We have a small window of opportunity to get real Christianity happening, Jesus’ prayer in John 17 fulfilled “that the world will know” — and God’s standard in Ephesians 4:11-16 happening.

It could start from Anchorage, but we have to be serious about teaching and believing what the Bible actually says, so we actually abide in Christ, and do so together in unity “that the world will know,” Jesus’ promised in John 17.

A fairly well known pastor in Anchorage had a dream that Anchorage was a Christian city.

We can’t even feel the presence of God in our churches anymore. Spiritually, Anchorage has declined, big-time! Instead of cranking up the music to rock concert levels so people think something is happening during “worship,” how about everyone making sure they’re right with God and each other, like Paul always practiced doing (Acts 24:16).

Acts 24:16 “So I ALWAYS take pains to have a CLEAR CONSCIENCE toward both God and MAN.”

And have Jesus’ John-17 and Ephesians-4 goal as our goal.

We can lead the whole world into holiness, so we’ll be ready no matter what happens in this next decade.

Please?

The largest foreign flotilla to approach American shores patrolled the coast of Alaska last week. Nearly a dozen Russian and Chinese warships came dangerously close to the Aleutian Islands. The warships were shadowed by four U.S. naval destroyers and a P-8 Poseidon aircraft.

A spokesman for the US Northern Command confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that Russia and China carried out a combined naval patrol near Alaska. Russia’s Defense Ministry in Moscow said the Russian and Chinese vessels had carried out drills that involved communication training, and helicopter landings and takeoffs from the decks of each other’s ships. They also conducted a joint anti-submarine exercise in the Bering Sea where a mock target was destroyed.

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.

CHINA’S SPY BALLOON

On Feb. 1 a photojournalist wondering why aircraft were grounded at his Billings, MT airport noticed and captured images of a strange white orb in the sky. His friend at the Billings Gazette investigated and the next day our military publicly admitted it was a high altitude suspected spy balloon from China. The images quickly went viral. The Chinese were prepared with a statement passing it off as a “civilian” weather balloon gone off course, but the path of the balloon carried it near a string of sensitive military installations from Alaska to South Carolina where it was finally shot down in shallow waters off the SC coast. Until the US reveals what kind of equipment was in the wreckage, we won’t know for certain what the real purpose was of the overflight. I doubt very much it was weather research because no nation sends weather balloons aloft so far outside their own country, except, perhaps, for military planning purposes which is still in the spy category. A host of aircraft from AWACS to a high-altitude U2 surveillance aircraft were used to evaluate the balloon with its extensive solar array on a truss-like framework that also contained electric motors driving propellers. This indicates that the balloon was designed to maneuver as well as drift in the upper air currents, which weather balloons are not designed to do. Whether or not there were high definition cameras aboard and batteries to operate equipment at night will be the determining factor on what its purpose was. This week, I’ll discuss the various theories about other purposes the balloon might have.

PROBABLE TIMETABLE FOR WWIII

In each year end brief, I reiterate my estimate of when I think war is coming. It hasn’t changed but bears repeating for new subscribers. Having some idea of the timing is important because this Third World War will be different than all other wars America has been involved with.

First, we’ll face peer capable enemies with powerful military forces. That hasn’t happened since we were up against Germany in WWII, and never occurred during our recent wars of intervention against lesser militaries in the phony “war on terror.” Fighting Russia and China will be very different, and the American mainland will be attacked.

Russia has the most powerful nuclear forces in the world, and China as the most powerful conventional forces and the world’s largest navy. Together they will be tough to beat, especially if our own globalist government absorbs a nuclear first strike on our military forces (in accordance with PDD-60) in order to force us into a militarized global government in response.

The pre-emptive strike will only happen, however, when both are ready. Russia is almost ready now with her nuclear forces, but will never be fully ready in conventional forces due to the weaknesses caused by the war against Ukraine. China, in contrast, is already ahead of the West in conventional forces, but still has more to build in order to feel confident going up against slightly superior technology in the West. Her growing nuclear arsenal is unknown but also growing steadily.

Russia’s 200-Ton ‘Monster Missile’ RS-28 Sarmat ICBM That Can Fire Hypersonic Weapons Enters Serial Production

In Bomb Bomb America?, Russia, The End of America?

“The RS-28 Sarmat Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), which Russia has projected as the “world’s deadliest missile,” has now entered serial production.”

We have no way to intercept this. We can’t even intercept most of Russia’s conventional nukes, because we have to actually hit the missile. Russia’s anti-ballistic missiles only have to get near ours; then explode.

Our government knows this, and also is doing nothing to protect us from EMP weapons, which would kill over 90% of Americans during the year without electricity.

Most of our national leaders are blackmailed by the globalists, or are globalists themselves. The USA must be taken out for the one-world government to happen.

We have a short window of opportunity now to get the real Christianity, Greatest Awakening happening “that the world will know” — Jesus’ prayer and promise in John 17; also God’s standard fulfilled in Eph. 4:11-16.

In Bomb Bomb America?, China, Electromagnetic Pulse – EMP, Joel Skousen, Russia, The End of America?, War

Most of us in Anchorage live within 10 miles of JBER military base, which is also true for most living in Eagle River.

MY NOTES:

Bill Clinton’s PDD-60 is still in effect, which eliminated “launch on first warning,” to instead absorb a first strike, to then launch with what?

As a token of good will, we’ve agreed to keep half of our one-dozen fleet nuclear subs in port at all times, so they can be easily taken out.

For those who live within 10 miles of a military base, blast protection would be needed. He recommends moving instead.

Some kind of fallout shelter is needed if downwind from a nuclear blast, even 600 miles away:
Joel is speaking to Mormons, of whom most probably live in Salt Lake City. He first says, for those living in Utah County (south of SLC), after a nuke is launched above Hill Air Force base (north of SLC), about a 60 mile distance, some kind of fallout shelter will be needed, if they’re downwind. Later, he says if the wind is coming from a different direction, they’ll still need a fallout shelter for the nukes that hit San Diego, Nellis Air Force Base or Area 51. San Diego is 600 air miles from Salt Lake City.

Apparently, a fallout shelter needs to also be substantial, because he says it costs one third the price of a blast protected shelter.

“Only Russia and China can throw an EMP strike [that would take down the entire US power grid], because it takes at least 2 or 3 super-EMP weapons, and it takes about 8 or 9 regular EMP weapons exploded at high altitudes.”

Cars will likely be disabled if they’re within a 300 mile circle under the explosion, so within  a 150 mile radius from the explosion. Outside of that, cars “may shut down but will restart, hopefully.”

“There will be famine for at least a year, because the United States does not stockpile any of the [house sized] transformers…. They’re made in China.”

“Without any electricity, there will be massive pillaging.”

US MILITARY AIRCRAFT VS. CHINA AND RUSSIA

The head of US nuclear forces recently claimed that Ukraine is just a warmup for a very long struggle with China, as Sputnik News warns, evading the fact that Russia will join China in the attack on America.

US Navy Adm. Charles Richard, the head of US Strategic Command, recently warned the US would soon face a protracted conflict with China unlike anything it’s faced before. Stratcom is responsible for handling the country’s nuclear weapons, as well as the suite of defensive and offensive information capabilities termed C4ISR.

“We have to do some rapid, fundamental change in the way we approach the defense of this nation,” Richard said at a Navy symposium last week. “This Ukraine crisis that we’re in right now, this is just the warmup,” he said. “The ‘big one’ is coming.”

Richard warned “the [military] ship is slowly sinking” because China is fielding new capabilities faster than the United States, which will soon find itself outnumbered and outclassed on the battlefield.

Russia just threatened to invade Alaska

Written by Brandon Gage July 06, 2022

Several top figures inside the Kremlin have threatened to attack Alaska in retaliation to sanctions imposed upon Russia over its barbaric invasion of Ukraine.

“Russia’s lower house speaker, Vyacheslav Volodin, warned the United States ought to hesitate when seizing or freezing Russian assets abroad, and instead ought to remember that Alaska previously belonged to Russia,” The Daily Beast reported on Wednesday.

The Alaskan territory was purchased from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million – roughly $142 million today when adjusted for inflation – as part of a treaty that checked Russia’s trade expansion toward the American Pacific Northwest.

“Let America always remember, there is a part of [Russian] territory: Alaska,” Volodin said, per the Ukrainian broadcasting station Hromadske International. “So when they start trying to dispose of our resources abroad, before they do it, let them think: we also have something to return.”

Other lawmakers in Moscow issued various additional ultimatums.

“State Duma Vice Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy proposed holding a referendum in Alaska, Volodin said, according to RBC,” noted The Daily Beast. “Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council, took the threats even further, and hinted at nuclear escalation.”
