Does the United States really need Russia? According to many pundits, we need Russia more than it needs us. Russia could cause a lot of problems if we’re not careful.
I say bunk to that nonsense. It’s time to throw down the gauntlet. If Russia is going to terrorize its neighbors and exercise strategic unhelpfulness on [...]

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has something in common with those on left, they’re both too smart to fall for something a Russian general has to say. The fact that this general is threatening Poland with a nuclear attack is really nothing that we should get worked up about. The general doesn’t mean it.

Waste Of Money
Apparently, it never dawned on the writer of this article that perhaps China is positioning itself to survive a nuclear war because it may need to start one.
It’s expending a lot of resources to build bunkers under many of its major cities too. Why? This is pretty much a waste of money unless you plan [...]

ISRAEL will almost surely attack Iran’s nuclear sites in the next four to seven months — and the leaders in Washington and even Tehran should hope that the attack will be successful enough to cause at least a significant delay in the Iranian production schedule, if not complete destruction, of that country’s nuclear program. Because [...]

Polezhaev: Let’s talk about the worst-case scenario — an unexpected nuclear attack by the U.S. Of course, this is theoretical. Let’s say the attack leads to the destruction of 90 percent of our silo-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). Our lightly sheltered Topol [...]

Within seconds of the authentication of a presidential order, missiles would lift off from silos on the plains of [...]

The rest of the report speculates on various other assorted scenarios for Mid-East Armageddon.

Israeli dead under this scenario would once again be between 200,000 [...]

China has been steadily stepping up fighter plane patrols in the Taiwan Strait, according to the Ministry of National Defense?? (MND) annual national defense report released yesterday.
The report said that while Chinese fighters patrolling the Strait made about 400 sorties per year before 1998, there were 1,500 sorties in 2001 and 1,700 in 2005.
The figures [...]

Defense analysts for the British intelligence service MI6 believe China is preparing for the “eventuality of a nuclear war.” The conclusion follows evidence that Beijing has built secretly a major naval base deep inside caverns which even sophisticated satellites cannot penetrate, says a report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
In an unusual development, the analysts [...]

Appropriately, the [...]

Anthony Cordesman, a strategist at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, has estimated the consequences if Tehran gets the bomb and a nuclear exchange with Israel ensues. He expects, writes Martin Walker of United Press International,

Devastation of a regional nuclear war would be far from confined to the countries that started it. Plants and animals, including humans, would be endangered by a global ozone hole that would result and persist for years after all the bombs were exhausted, a new study suggests.

North Korea Monday renewed its attacks on South Korea’s new President Lee Myung-Bak, accusing him of pushing the peninsula closer to nuclear war.
The communist party newspaper Rodong Sinmun poured scorn on his decision to link economic aid to the North’s nuclear disarmament, and said he should order the United States to withdraw “its nuclear weapons [...]
