[00:00:00] .
[00:00:30] Welcome to another episode of Strange Truth, I'm your host, Carl Biann.
[00:00:42] I really hope that everyone has had a pretty good week.
[00:00:46] We're going to talk about some pretty heavy stuff here today.
[00:00:51] The possibility of nuclear war.
[00:00:53] We're going to look at that.
[00:00:55] You know just how much of a threat it is.
[00:00:58] So we're going to talk about that today.
[00:00:59] I think that this is the elephant room that we have to address.
[00:01:04] And we've got it start giving some serious thought to you know in light of a lot of
[00:01:10] the things that's been happening in the world at large.
[00:01:14] So we're going to come back and we're going to discuss, we're going to talk about and
[00:01:18] kind of like examine you know just how big a threat is the nuclear war at this moment.
[00:01:25] So we're going to talk about that first.
[00:01:28] However, let's go to our sponsors.

[00:03:10] Let's hope that is a sound we don't ever have to wake up to.
[00:03:17] Just perusing the news over the last two weeks I figured this is something I'm going
[00:03:24] to discuss in the podcast because I think it's a real issue.
[00:03:29] The rhetoric has changed, especially since it's not going the way NATO and the United States
[00:03:35] want it to go in Russia.
[00:03:38] We're going to take a look at, is there a possibility that we could get into a nuclear conflict
[00:03:47] with a major power this year?
[00:03:50] We'll examine the Russia issue.
[00:03:54] What's going on with China as well but most of the show will be concentrated on the
[00:04:00] Russian issue because I really think at this point that is the most serious.
[00:04:06] The first thing that I'm going to start with is let's look at China.
[00:04:14] This is from an article over there at the most important news.com and I'm sure it was written
[00:04:19] by Michael Snyder but let's take a look at what's going on with China here.
[00:04:24] It says, at a time when their economy is really struggling the Chinese are increasing military
[00:04:29] spending and ramping up preparations for war but who is China preparing to fight a war
[00:04:35] with?
[00:04:36] Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious.
[00:04:39] Yes, the border dispute between India and China could erupt into something significant
[00:04:44] but that is not likely.
[00:04:46] The only other opponent that the Chinese would be fighting a major war with would be the
[00:04:51] United States and right now Chinese shipyards are churning out military vessels of the
[00:04:56] peace that the US simply cannot match.
[00:05:00] The US cannot match the pace of building in the shipyards of Shanghai which have already
[00:05:05] turned out two new aircraft carriers with a third expected to begin sea trials soon.
[00:05:11] The latest vessel, the Fujian features catapults to launch heavy fixed wing aircraft with immense
[00:05:19] bomb payloads.
[00:05:21] These shipyards are also building a new type of amphibious assault vehicle and many
[00:05:27] Roland Rolloff ferries which could have dual purpose transporting cars in peacetime and
[00:05:33] armored assault vehicles in the event of attack on a neighbor such as Taiwan.
[00:05:38] Off even greater concern is the vast network of tunnels that the Chinese have been constructing.
[00:05:44] We are being told that this network of tunnels makes the Hamas tunnels on the Gaza look
[00:05:49] like holes scooped by children in a sand pit.
[00:05:53] While the West has been scaling back its military spending in favor of welfare and healthcare,
[00:05:58] China has been building artificial islands as naval bases and airfields less obvious
[00:06:04] but more omnios.
[00:06:06] It has also been digging a vast network of tunnels and bunkers that made the Hamas warrants
[00:06:11] in Gaza look like holes scooped by children in a sand pit.
[00:06:16] The Chinese tunnels stretch for hundreds of miles and their plans are so closely guarded
[00:06:21] that Western intelligence agencies have little idea what's down there.
[00:06:26] The six spies in the pay of the West who have attempted to smuggle out information have
[00:06:31] been caught and executed.
[00:06:34] No one knows why China has been putting so much effort into these tunnels.
[00:06:39] Are they anticipating that vast numbers of Chinese will need to shelter underground during
[00:06:43] an apocalyptic conflict with the United States?
[00:06:47] In recent years, the Chinese have been fervorously upgrading and expanding their strategic nuclear
[00:06:53] arsenal.
[00:06:54] This alarming of all is the build up of nuclear missiles.
[00:06:58] Throughout the Cold War, though China has been a nuclear power from the mid-1960s, its
[00:07:04] atomic arsenal was limited.
[00:07:07] By the fall of Berlin Wall in 1989, the People's Liberation Army had only 30 or 40 long-range
[00:07:14] nuclear missiles because it believed it was more than enough.
[00:07:19] As President Deng Zouping, chillingly taunted American journalists, how many Los Angeles
[00:07:25] can you afford to lose?
[00:07:27] That policy has changed.
[00:07:29] More than 100 nuclear missiles with multiple warheads have already been built and armed
[00:07:35] with production expected to exceed 500 by the end of this decade if not sooner.
[00:07:42] The moment that Chinese invade Taiwan, they know it will mean war within the United States.
[00:07:48] Since that war is limited to conventional weaponry, the Chinese will win a war in Taiwan
[00:07:54] and every war game that our leaders have conducted in recent years has shown this.
[00:08:00] The US could try to threaten China with nukes but if China now possesses enough missiles
[00:08:04] to wipe out dozens of US cities, our leaders may not want to risk a nuclear confrontation.
[00:08:10] The Chinese know that most battles are one before they ever fought, so they're trying
[00:08:14] to position themselves for a positive outcome before the very first missile is fired at Taiwan.
[00:08:25] Now, and of course, the amount of Chinese immigrants that are coming across the border
[00:08:30] right last year, US Custom and Border Protection reported 37,000 Chinese citizens were apprehended
[00:08:35] crossing illegal from Mexico into the United States.
[00:08:38] That's 50 times more than two years earlier.
[00:08:41] In many cases, groups of military age Chinese men all decked out in similar equipment are
[00:08:46] being encountered.
[00:08:49] There's a lot going on that we're not being told about.
[00:08:51] There's a lot going on with the whole border issue that we're not being told about.
[00:08:57] The smart money would be on, we've led in so many of these people at this point that
[00:09:03] we must have led in some very dangerous people who mean to harm us and at some point something
[00:09:09] very significant will occur here in the United States.
[00:09:14] Please brace for that, prep for that.
[00:09:18] From this article you can see that the Chinese have been making extensive arrangements to fight
[00:09:25] a nuclear war with the United States.
[00:09:29] All these tunnels for hundreds of miles that they're building and actually like and the
[00:09:34] constant manufacturing of nuclear warheads is something that we have to be concerned about.
[00:09:44] The axis of evil between them and the Russians and Iran, right?
[00:09:49] Of course the Chinese and the Russians have missiles aimed at the United States.
[00:09:53] I think if we go to war with one of those countries, the other one is going to help the
[00:09:57] other country to retaliate because they're not going to want a standing folks.
[00:10:03] So how prepared are you is the question.
[00:10:08] If you wake up tomorrow and there is no internet, there is no electricity because they've been
[00:10:15] nuclear strikes across the country.
[00:10:18] How prepared are you to function in that world?
[00:10:22] It's a very serious question that we must all consider at this point.
[00:10:28] So I just wanted to bring in that stuff with China because that sets the tone for what's
[00:10:33] going on with Russia.
[00:10:36] Let's see.
[00:10:39] One of the things I want to preface this with, okay?
[00:10:42] And you know, I think that when independent journalists, when independent media, you know,
[00:10:49] alternate media, when they don't tell the party line, so to speak, when they don't tell
[00:10:56] the party line off, we're winning the war in Ukraine and Russia will be defeated.
[00:11:05] Blah blah blah blah.
[00:11:07] And not really report on, you know, not really give it hard analysis and not just pirate
[00:11:14] in or cut and paste in articles that has been recycled pretty much by the intelligence
[00:11:21] communities in the West.
[00:11:24] You know, independent media is branded as Russian apologists, right?
[00:11:29] Or spreading Russian disinformation.
[00:11:32] But if we are going to wake up one day and a lot of people are dead because of a nuclear
[00:11:41] blast or we find ourselves without electricity, which will result for months, which will
[00:11:48] result in millions of people dead, then I think that we need to look at everything that's
[00:11:55] out there and prepare accordingly.
[00:12:00] That's what smart people do.
[00:12:03] And you know, and for the folks who are glued to their phones and glued to the mainstream media
[00:12:08] and glued to the propaganda that's being floated out there, you know, I wish them well.
[00:12:15] I wish them well.
[00:12:16] I cannot afford to live in that world, right?
[00:12:19] None of us really can.
[00:12:21] We have to really take these things seriously.
[00:12:24] So I am going to look at a few articles here really quickly and just kind of give some
[00:12:29] analysis on these articles.
[00:12:30] The first one is taken from the Gateway Pundit and said could Germany start World War III?
[00:12:35] leaked audio unveils military bombshell and this is my neighbor Naomi Selbitt, right?
[00:12:41] Save it.
[00:12:43] And it says here.
[00:12:44] A shocking revelation about Germany's military plans is shaking the geopolitical landscape.
[00:12:49] A leaked audio recording exposes a chilling conversation among top ranking military officials
[00:12:55] regarding a potential operation to bomb the Crime Mirion bridge in Russia with Taurus
[00:13:00] missiles.
[00:13:01] Worse yet, the recorded voices, one of whom is Lieutenant General Ingo, uh, Gair Hearts,
[00:13:08] the commander of the National Air Force himself stressed that Germany's involvement in the
[00:13:13] attack must be concealed from the public.
[00:13:16] The recording initially dismissed by some as mere propaganda has been confirmed as authentic
[00:13:22] by the highest echelons of the German government.
[00:13:26] Russian officials demands with answers from Berlin labeling the leaked conversation as evidence
[00:13:31] of direct German complicity in acts of aggression against Russia.
[00:13:35] Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Scoren's NATO suggesting a glaring betrayal of trust
[00:13:40] while former Russian president Dimitri Mendev, condemns Germany as a resurfaced adversary.
[00:13:49] He released a brutal statement on telegram saying after all, or eternal opponents the
[00:13:54] Germans have again turned into sworn enemies and again the call from the times of the
[00:13:59] great Patriotic War becomes relevant.
[00:14:02] And he says here.
[00:14:05] One can only hope that Putin keeps his cool.
[00:14:08] He tends to rule with a very firm grip on the situation without resourging to disastrous
[00:14:12] measures out of pure impulsiveity.
[00:14:16] Nevertheless, the gravity of the situation cannot be overstated at stake are not only
[00:14:21] diplomatic relations but the delicate balance of power in Eastern Europe.
[00:14:26] The Crimea and Bridge, a symbol of strategic importance linking Crimea to mainland Russia,
[00:14:32] emerges as a focal point of contention.
[00:14:35] This occurred just after Putin delivered his state of the national address wherein he
[00:14:40] sent a stern warning to the West.
[00:14:42] Aggressors against Russia will face much harcer consequences.
[00:14:46] Russia is prepared to fight with technologically advanced weapons and a highly efficient economy
[00:14:52] thus the Western mass media immediately escalated the fear mongering and claimed that Putin
[00:14:57] was threatening the West with nuclear war.
[00:14:59] However, it is crucial to note that Putin clearly stated that any form of attack would
[00:15:04] only be a defensive measure in response to Western attacks.
[00:15:08] There is no reason for an escalation of tensions.
[00:15:11] Russia is always available for dialogue and seeking common solutions.
[00:15:16] Plus he emphasized that the nuclear war would be extremely serious scenario which he would
[00:15:22] never take as lightly as the Western media does to incite panic.
[00:15:26] Everything they are inventing now, spooking the world with the threat of a nuclear conflict
[00:15:32] involving nuclear weapons which potentially means the end of civilization.
[00:15:37] Don't they realize this?
[00:15:39] The problem is that these people who have never faced profound adversity, they have no
[00:15:44] conception of the horrors of war.
[00:15:47] I think that was Putin speaking.
[00:15:49] But now that Germany has put the cards on the table, Putin's word of warning takes on
[00:15:54] a new dimension.
[00:15:56] Suddenly, there is an explicit reason for Putin to suspect that Germany is willing to
[00:16:02] attack with exceptionally destructive weaponry.
[00:16:09] Then we have this article from ZeroHedge.
[00:16:18] That's the leak audio coming out of Germany saying that the Germans were looking to attack
[00:16:25] the Kremlin and bridge with terrorist missiles.
[00:16:29] Now listen to this.
[00:16:32] Macron doubles down on NATO sending troops to Ukraine remarks.
[00:16:35] This is from ZeroHedge by Terala Durdon, says author by Dave DeKamp.
[00:16:42] French president Emmanuel Macron on Thursday stood behind his comments about NATO not ruling
[00:16:47] out sending troops to Ukraine despite the upper it caused on the warning it drew from Russia.
[00:16:54] These are sufficiently serious issues.
[00:16:57] Everyone of the words that I say on this issue is weighed, thought and measured Macron
[00:17:04] told reporters.
[00:17:05] Following a meeting of European leaders on the Ukrainian proxy war on Monday, Macron said
[00:17:11] there is no consensus today to send in official and dors manner troops on the ground.
[00:17:17] But in terms of dynamics, nothing can be ruled out.
[00:17:21] These comments appear to confirm a warning from Slovakia Prime Minister Robert Fiko, an
[00:17:28] opponent of NATO support for Ukraine who said earlier that some NATO members were considering
[00:17:34] sending troops to Ukraine on a bilateral basis.
[00:17:38] Macron's comments caused many NATO members to refute the idea that they're considering
[00:17:44] sending combat troops to NATO.
[00:17:46] Although it is an open secret that there are a small number of NATO special operation
[00:17:52] forces already in the country.
[00:17:54] One NATO country that backed up Macron is Lithuania, the Baltic nation that borders
[00:18:00] Kalengrad and has an active duty military that consists of only about 15,000 troops.
[00:18:08] Lithuanian foreign minister, W. L. Landbergus, welcome, Macron's comments saying no option
[00:18:15] can be rejected out of hand.
[00:18:17] The country's defense minister Ari Das, a new focus said troops could potentially be sent
[00:18:24] to Ukraine for training, not for combat.
[00:18:28] The Kremlin is warned that the deployment of western troops to Ukraine would make a direct
[00:18:34] Russia-Natal war inevitable.
[00:18:37] President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that Russia's nuclear arsenal is on full
[00:18:45] combat alert.
[00:18:48] So you have that idiot, Macron, like floating this whole thing about sending troops into
[00:19:00] Ukraine and then we have this other article about Moscow reacting to Macron proposing European
[00:19:09] boots on the ground.
[00:19:12] And it says, let's see, let's read a little bit of this.
[00:19:17] President Macron, Emmanuel Macron has now openly discussed in the possibility of sending
[00:19:22] European troops to Ukraine to fight the Russians which would without doubt trigger World War
[00:19:28] 3 between major nuclear powers.
[00:19:30] His jingogistic words came just at the end of a summit held in Paris in support of Ukraine
[00:19:37] which involved 20, mainly European leaders.
[00:19:41] He said of efforts to arm the Ukrainians with more advanced weapons.
[00:19:45] People used to say give them just sleeping bags and helmets, but he emphasized that now
[00:19:52] nothing should be ruled out.
[00:19:54] He admitted there is as yet no consensus on sending western troops to Ukraine, but he laid
[00:20:01] out that we will do anything we can to prevent Russia from winning this war.
[00:20:07] Macron warned in his remarks, there is a change in Russia's stance, it is striving
[00:20:13] to take on further territory and it has eyes not just on Ukraine but on many other countries
[00:20:20] as well.
[00:20:21] So Russia is presenting a greater danger.
[00:20:23] We had a critical moment in this conflict that requires us to take the initiative, Macron
[00:20:27] said, while also unveiling a new European coalition which is to provide Kiev with medium
[00:20:34] range and long range missiles.
[00:20:36] President Putin and top Kremlin officials have repeatedly rejected the charge that Russia
[00:20:41] is seeking to wage an expansionist war in Europe and in other former Soviet satellite states.
[00:20:48] According to CNN, Macron told reporters at a news conference that while he and 21 European
[00:20:55] leaders present, did not agree on deploying military personnel, the prospect was discussed
[00:21:03] openly.
[00:21:04] However, Germany, the UK, Poland and others have rejected the possibility of deploying
[00:21:09] troops with German Chancellor Olaf Schloss who was among those present later emphasizing
[00:21:16] that participants were unanimous in being set against it.
[00:21:19] The statement out of the UK Prime Minister's office was interesting given it admits the small
[00:21:24] number of personnel already on the ground in Ukraine.
[00:21:29] Britain is not planning a large scale deployment of troops in Ukraine, Prime Minister Sunak's
[00:21:34] press secretary said other than a small number of personnel who are in the country supporting
[00:21:39] the Ukraine Armed Forces, we have no plans for large scale deployment he was quoted
[00:21:44] as saying by rioters.
[00:21:48] So all of these guys are talking about this and it's just a matter of time before I think
[00:21:58] this gets to a point of no return.
[00:22:02] We're slowly just by millimeters, inching our way to a nuclear conflict and it's just
[00:22:10] insane to watch this happen in real time.
[00:22:15] There is another article here that was published, I believe this one was published in
[00:22:19] Zero Hedge.
[00:22:20] I'm just going to read a part of it but it's just showing just the really reckless deployment
[00:22:27] of troops and the ideas that these really desperate NATO world leaders are contemplating
[00:22:35] and it says well exhibit one is French president Emmanuel Macron's proposed plan to station
[00:22:42] military personnel from NATO members within Ukraine to serve as a tripwire.
[00:22:48] A raid as a quarter around Karkov, Odessa and Kiev they are meant to deter, deter advancing
[00:22:54] Russian forces from moving on those cities for fear of killing Western soldiers thereby
[00:23:00] risking a direct confrontation with the alliance.
[00:23:03] It is highly dubious idea that defies logic and experience while tempting fate.
[00:23:12] It's long has deployed members of its armed forces in Ukraine where they programmed an
[00:23:17] operated sophisticated equipment in particular the scalp, cruise missiles.
[00:23:23] Scores were killed by a Russian retaliatory strike a few months ago that destroyed their
[00:23:28] residents.
[00:23:29] Paris cried holy murder for Moscow's unsporting conduct and shooting back at those attacking
[00:23:36] them.
[00:23:37] It was retaliation for the French participation in the deadly bombing of the Russian city
[00:23:42] of Belgrade.
[00:23:43] Why then should we expect that the Kremlin would abandon a costly campaign involving what
[00:23:49] they see as vital national interests if uninformed Western troops were deployed in a picket line
[00:23:56] around cities would they be intimidated into passivity by spiffy uniforms assembled on
[00:24:03] the outside banners inscribed with slogans don't mess with NATO.
[00:24:09] Moreover they are already thousands of Westerners bolstering the Ukrainian armed forces.
[00:24:16] Roughly 4 to 5,000 Americans have been performing critical operation functions from the outset.
[00:24:23] The presence of a majority predates by several years the onset of hostilities two years
[00:24:30] ago.
[00:24:31] That contingent was augmented by a supplementary group of 1,700 last summer which was as a core
[00:24:39] of logistic experts advertised as mandated to seek out and eradicate corruption in the
[00:24:50] black marketing of pilfered supplies.
[00:24:53] The Pentagon people are sown throughout the Ukrainian military from headquarters planning
[00:24:58] units to advisors in the field to technicians and special forces.
[00:25:02] It is widely understood that Americans have operated the sophisticated high mars long range
[00:25:09] artillery and the Patriot air defense batteries.
[00:25:13] This last means that members of the US military have been aiming and perhaps pulling the
[00:25:18] trigger on weapons that kill Russians.
[00:25:21] In addition the CIA has established a massive multipurpose system able to conduct a wide
[00:25:28] range of intelligence and operational activities independently as well as in conjunction with
[00:25:34] the Ukrainian FSB.
[00:25:37] That includes tactical intelligence on a day by day basis.
[00:25:41] We don't know whether they had a role in the campaign of targeted assassinations inside
[00:25:47] of Russia.
[00:25:49] A critical role also has been played by Britain.
[00:25:53] Their specialized personnel have been operating the storm shadow missiles counterpart to the
[00:25:58] French scout employed against Crimea and elsewhere.
[00:26:02] Two MI6 has taken a lead role in designating multiple attacks on the Kirsch bridge and
[00:26:09] other critical infrastructure.
[00:26:11] The principal lesson to be drawn from this overview is that the positioning of European
[00:26:17] troops at key sites as human hostages is not wholly original.
[00:26:23] Their presence has not deterred Russia from attacking them in the field or as in the
[00:26:29] French case hunting them down in their residences.
[00:26:35] So NATO have been killing Russians, right?
[00:26:40] I mean it's already happening and the Russians have been killing NATO members so it's already
[00:26:46] happening.
[00:26:49] As Dave Jones so succinctly put it the other day, we're in and state of undeclared war.
[00:26:59] Third war is going on.
[00:27:01] It's just undeclared at the moment.
[00:27:04] I think that this is a really serious issue that can any minute spiral out of control
[00:27:10] and just based on human experience, I think that's almost nailed on to happen at some point.
[00:27:19] That at some point NATO is going to attack Russia in a way that it crosses some kind of red
[00:27:26] line and the Russians are going to retaliate and all the bluster of NATO then goes out
[00:27:33] the window.
[00:27:34] And while Russia is going to take a massive, massive body blow, what do they think is going
[00:27:41] to happen to Europe?
[00:27:44] Paris is going to be gone.
[00:27:45] London is going to be gone.
[00:27:48] The major European cities are going to be gone.
[00:27:51] Millions are going to be dead and that's why I don't understand this crazy, crazy thing
[00:27:58] that's going on in the British media.
[00:28:01] No one seems to be asking their government really what is the truth here?
[00:28:07] What is really the truth about Russia because everybody is expecting or they were expecting
[00:28:13] earlier on that Putin was either going to kill over because you remember when they were
[00:28:17] saying that he had cancer, he was sick or something like that or that he was going
[00:28:21] to be overthrown, right?
[00:28:23] They were treating him like a third world dictator, not as a nuclear first world dictator
[00:28:34] which he is.
[00:28:36] One that has a vast war economy and a vast economic system and a vast array of plans that
[00:28:47] are laid out to actually fight a nuclear war.
[00:28:51] Right now in the United States we don't have the means to really fight a nuclear war.
[00:28:58] We'll shoot missiles but what happens when we get hit, what happens about surviving
[00:29:04] the nuclear war?
[00:29:05] We don't really have those plans in place.
[00:29:08] Most Americans for them, it is not something that even comes into their consciousness.
[00:29:14] Here on PBN and here in Alternative Media we talk about these possibilities all the time
[00:29:20] so we are thinking about these possibilities all the time.
[00:29:24] Not so for I would say what, 400 million Americans out there, right?
[00:29:31] Not so with the vast amount of Americans.
[00:29:36] I would say that you probably have about 2 million people in this country that are really
[00:29:40] taking any of this stuff seriously and everybody else.
[00:29:44] Not so much.
[00:29:45] Not so much and I think that it just sets itself up for a really bad show here.
[00:29:52] At some point we are going to have to deal with it.
[00:29:58] I'll read one last article and he says what is Russia's policy on tactical nuclear weapons?
[00:30:10] And actually let's look at this one.
[00:30:13] Read the fine print, Russia's nuclear weapon use policy.
[00:30:16] I'm just going to switch this is from the bulletin.org because I think this is actually a, we know
[00:30:22] that they have tactical nukes and we know that if they are threatened or whatever we know
[00:30:27] that their policy is that they'll use those tactical nukes but let's take a look at what
[00:30:32] is their nuclear policy here because most people aren't really clear on what would trigger
[00:30:40] them, what would cause them to use nuclear weapons.
[00:30:43] So let's just deal with that.
[00:30:46] The risk of nuclear war cast a dark shadow over the already tragic events in Ukraine.
[00:30:51] On February 19th Vladimir Putin launched an exercise involving Russian strategic forces.
[00:30:57] On February 24th the day Putin invaded Ukraine he warned that Russia would respond immediately
[00:31:03] to those who stood in this way and this was written in 2022.
[00:31:07] It was an older article but it deals with the Russians nuclear policy which I think that
[00:31:15] we really need to take a look at.
[00:31:18] And it says here on February 24th they put an invaded Ukraine he warned that Russia would
[00:31:26] respond immediately to those who stood in this way with consequences that will be such
[00:31:31] as you have never seen in your entire history.
[00:31:35] On February 27th he publicly ordered his minister of defense and chief of the general staff
[00:31:41] to transfer Russia's deterrence forces to special combat readiness.
[00:31:47] Putin's aim was to evidently to deter outside intervention and to signal Russia's determination
[00:31:53] to achieve its goal.
[00:31:55] But one but another more troubling aspect to Putin's recent comments has received little
[00:32:03] or no attention.
[00:32:04] It has to do with the circumstances under which Russia might use nuclear weapons.
[00:32:09] In June 2020 Putin signed a decree the basic principles of the Russian Federation state
[00:32:15] policy in the domain of nuclear deterrence that specifies two conditions under which Russia
[00:32:21] would use nuclear weapons.
[00:32:23] The first is unsurprising.
[00:32:26] The Russian Federation retains the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use
[00:32:31] of nuclear weapons and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and or its
[00:32:37] allies.
[00:32:38] But that sentence ends with an unusual statement.
[00:32:43] And also in the case of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional
[00:32:49] weapons when the very existence of the state is put under threat.
[00:32:55] Emphasis added and I'll read that again at the end of that statement here's something
[00:33:00] that is interesting and it says when they would use nuclear weapons and it says the
[00:33:06] statement ends with an unusual statement.
[00:33:10] And it says and also in the case of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use
[00:33:17] of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is put under threat.
[00:33:23] So Russia's policy is not just okay you have to use nuclear weapons for us to use nuclear
[00:33:29] weapons against you.
[00:33:31] This is saying basically okay if you attack us even with conventional weapons and we figured
[00:33:37] that we're in an you know our nation faces some kind of existential crisis here you know
[00:33:43] for our existence then we are going to use we have it we have a policy that we can use
[00:33:50] nuclear weapons.
[00:33:52] That my friends is scary.
[00:33:54] And it says here in his February 2024 speech put an echo that unusual language to describe
[00:34:00] his Ukraine invasion.
[00:34:02] The United States he claimed was created a hostile anti-Russia next to Russia and in Russia's
[00:34:06] historical land.
[00:34:08] For the United States and its allies it is a policy of containing Russia with obvious
[00:34:12] geopolitical dividends he said for our country it is a matter of life and death.
[00:34:19] A matter of historical future as a nation.
[00:34:22] This is not an exaggeration this is a fact.
[00:34:26] It is not only a very real threat to our interests but to the very existence of our state and
[00:34:31] to and to its sovereignty emphasis added Putin has defined the current situation as one
[00:34:37] in which in line with the principles of his deterrence policy Russia retains the right
[00:34:44] to use nuclear weapons.
[00:34:46] This does not mean that Russia will use such weapons and deterrence at the strategic level
[00:34:51] appears to be robust.
[00:34:54] At the tactical level however the situation is different.
[00:34:57] The 2018 US nuclear poster review ascribed to Russia the view that the threat of nuclear
[00:35:04] escalation or even first use of nuclear weapons would serve to de-escalate a conflict in terms
[00:35:11] favorable to Russia I'll read that again.
[00:35:14] At the tactical level however the situation is different.
[00:35:17] The 2018 US nuclear poster review ascribed to Russia the view that the threat of nuclear
[00:35:24] escalation or even first use of nuclear weapons would serve to de-escalate a conflict on
[00:35:31] terms favorable to Russia.
[00:35:34] Russian military theories have certainly discussed this idea of escalating to de-escalate though
[00:35:39] whether it is part of the Russian doctrine is disputed.
[00:35:46] So it says here in a local war with a non nuclear adversary however the small scale tactical
[00:35:55] use of nuclear weapons might be a serious temptation especially if the war were not going according
[00:36:01] to plan.
[00:36:02] In short the impulse to escalate in a tight corner could be strong.
[00:36:09] This is nothing new.
[00:36:11] It's always been known that the Russians have a first strike policy something that the
[00:36:16] West I think most people in the West don't really realize here in the West we kind of
[00:36:23] think of if somebody fires at us then we'll fire at them.
[00:36:29] We've been told although of course in secret this could be very different that we will
[00:36:35] not be the aggressors in a nuclear war that basically what would trigger us is if we
[00:36:42] are attacked or a NATO allies attack.
[00:36:47] One of our allies is attacked with nuclear weapons that would trigger us to react but
[00:36:51] not so with Russia.
[00:36:54] Russia in their doctrine they reserve the right to strike first and I think that in a conflict
[00:37:02] they would definitely go there especially depending on leadership in our country.
[00:37:08] Please understand if the Russians or the Chinese really believe that we have weak leadership
[00:37:16] in the White House and in our government then I think that there is a distinct possibility
[00:37:23] that in order to get us off the table if they nuke two cities here in the United States
[00:37:34] not only would that cause a nationwide disaster because you're dealing with the fallout
[00:37:41] you're dealing with the EMP issues which would knock out electricity for probably I would
[00:37:48] say great portions of the country.
[00:37:52] In the loss of life and everything else not only dealing with that national tragedy
[00:37:56] but would we then have the guts to retaliate now most people here in the United States
[00:38:03] and most people listening to this would say yes we would we would cowboy up and we will
[00:38:09] retaliate but is that really true that really does depend on the leadership here in the country.
[00:38:16] If we have a person in the White House that lacks the will to be able to retaliate then
[00:38:29] that's us off the table and I think they would try to play that game okay we nuke one of
[00:38:35] your cities what are you willing to withstand how many losses are you willing to take here
[00:38:43] okay so okay we nuke New York okay you nuke one of ours we nuke will nuke another one of yours
[00:38:52] you know how much are we willing to trade here okay would it be like okay you know like
[00:39:01] you know in the old way of looking at nuclear war right you know when you watch like the day after
[00:39:06] any of those scenarios right you see all these ballistic missiles coming over from Russia like
[00:39:14] hundreds of them and we're shooting hundreds of nuclear missiles towards Russia I don't necessarily
[00:39:20] think that that would be the way it would go I think it would be very strategic I think that the
[00:39:24] Russians would probably shoot one missile at us which would probably succeed because it would
[00:39:32] be completely unexpected and I don't necessarily trust you know the guardians the people guarding
[00:39:38] the gate so to speak I really think that a lot of the folks guarding our nation are not necessarily
[00:39:44] as competent as they used to be in the past so I think that I would not be surprised if you know
[00:39:52] they could nuke say New York right with missiles and we would be shocked because they did it
[00:40:00] you know it's just incredible to me when you see our reaction just dealing with balloons and how
[00:40:05] paralyzed we are just dealing with balloons I think that it sends a real signal as to what our
[00:40:12] reaction would be in you know in case of a if a drastic you know attack on our nation you know so
[00:40:21] based on our reaction to balloons based on for example in my last podcast I talked about how the CDC
[00:40:29] reacted to the the Chinese biolab that was in California and and just them not really coming
[00:40:37] to the scene and being proactive and you know it took a month to basically you know clean up the
[00:40:44] scene at to this point I really don't know if the scene you know if this biolab has been completely
[00:40:50] completely like shut down they they don't they didn't test for example they didn't test all the vows
[00:40:58] that they found in the lab they only they only they only basically destroyed right the ones that
[00:41:05] were labeled the the the other vows you know which they must have been a huge quantity of vows
[00:41:12] right basically they didn't really want anything to do with and it just goes to show here we have
[00:41:19] a national agency that is supposed to be on the forefront of dealing with say biological issues
[00:41:25] right biological threats to our nation you know pathogenes that kind of thing and they had a biolab
[00:41:31] that basically that was discovered and the way they they they dealt with it caused a lot of concern
[00:41:38] it was very inept very inept and you know to this day a lot of people are still asking you know
[00:41:44] like how well was that cleanup dealt with you know is it completely cleaned up what you know
[00:41:54] what's going on with this biolab you know in in in California and just based on you know just how
[00:42:02] the government agencies reacted the based on how we reacted to the covid I don't think that we would
[00:42:06] handle this really well just think of it okay you know two nukes you know yeah we live in middle
[00:42:12] America you know you guys who live in middle America right you know we'll be thinking okay they're
[00:42:18] just gonna you know it's gonna be the nukes are gonna be concentrated on the east and west coast
[00:42:24] and probably you know Washington yeah is a target right and and we in the middle of the country
[00:42:32] might not have anything to worry about but I do think you know if they were to say new New York city
[00:42:38] if they were to nuke you know you know some of the cities like in in in in in in California or Texas
[00:42:46] that would knock out our our electric grid across the country the EMP issues would be vast
[00:42:54] and then we would be dealing with right not having electricity for months
[00:43:00] and dealing with the fallout and everything else around those cities and around those old and the
[00:43:05] millions who would have lost lives and everything else we would have a massive national emergency
[00:43:11] how well would be would we be react you know you know how could we react to that you know how
[00:43:17] well we'd be reacting to that those are all things that you know a lot of folks have not
[00:43:23] gained out and our government really hasn't really gained out and and I think that we're kind of
[00:43:30] living in this world we lived in this world in this country for a long time that the worst case
[00:43:35] scenario will never happen that everything will just work out for the best and that got blown up
[00:43:41] with COVID the worst case scenario well in that case you know COVID wasn't as deadly as some of
[00:43:48] the pathogens that are out there but it showed that we did not have a plan in place to deal with
[00:43:57] something on that level much less you know a nuclear attack and I know for example I know that
[00:44:05] David said hey you know um you know because he's game did out and um that yeah um you know we
[00:44:13] you know we would be able to survive and everything else but you know just waking up
[00:44:19] right the day after we know electricity and and and no internet and most likely not really knowing
[00:44:28] what's going on across the country and with most people running out of water and running on a food
[00:44:34] because when you think with no electricity they ain't gonna there's not gonna be any water in
[00:44:39] you know most people won't have running water and everything that's gonna trigger you know
[00:44:44] in terms of problems with hospitals and all those patients are in those hospitals and you know all
[00:44:50] look you know the old people right that are living in assisted living and and then it would be
[00:44:56] horrific horrific so this is something that um I don't think that we've really necessarily taken
[00:45:07] a really a really good look at I really do think here on pbn uh you know we need to probably
[00:45:12] convene a panel and really get into the nitty gritty all of this and discuss this in detail uh
[00:45:18] you know and and try to game this out a little bit I you know I would highly recommend uh that on
[00:45:24] pbn we you know we probably have a really serious purpose live or something like that to really game
[00:45:29] this out but folks this is a serious issue and whether it be you know an issue over Taiwan or whether
[00:45:40] it be a vast miscalculation in uh in in Europe the the fact that we could seriously uh be involved
[00:45:51] in some kind of nuclear issue whether you know here in the United States or in in in you know in
[00:46:02] Europe uh is something it i think that there is a distinct possibility that this could be the case
[00:46:12] sometime in the very near future and we as you know our countries are not prepared to deal with this
[00:46:19] the English aren't the French surely aren't okay you know do the French people know where their
[00:46:27] bunkers are do they are they prepping in those countries uh you know um do they understand how to
[00:46:33] survive nuclear fallout and and how to deal with a country that has no electricity or or running water
[00:46:41] or any real basic supplies you know um do they have pantries that they have extra food stacked across
[00:46:48] Europe I would say that most Europeans this to them is all extremist talk this to them is all you
[00:46:56] know all those crazy conspiracy theorists out there this to them you know and and and you know I just
[00:47:03] say COVID okay but they have not learned that the world is unstable and this is something that most of
[00:47:13] us uh here right that listen to BBN that that are part of the uh you know the preparation you know
[00:47:21] the uh the the uh the preparedness movement right this these are all things that we've been thinking
[00:47:28] about and gaming out I here's what I here's what I say right look at your own plans folks
[00:47:38] do you have some kind of plan in place just in case this occurs okay because if you don't then
[00:47:45] you need to make a plan how is your food supply your storage foods your extra foods in your home
[00:47:52] okay um if you're living in a city where would you go if you were you know if if if your
[00:47:59] city was bombed if you're living in an apartment where would you go to try and survive um if you did
[00:48:07] survive uh you know and you're in a city you know especially you know like if you're in parts in
[00:48:14] New York uh if you're you know Philly or you know Houston or one of the really big cities right San
[00:48:23] Diego if you're in a place that got attacked you know a heavily densely populated area what is your
[00:48:31] plan would you leave would you stay what's the plan do you have do you have extra water someplace
[00:48:39] do you have access to clean water you know do you have access to potassium you know to to to
[00:48:50] specific drugs that can help you to deal with nuclear fallout okay so yeah if you're
[00:49:01] living in a more rural areas someplace where okay might not be in in in the direct danger zone of
[00:49:09] of being attacked in a nuclear war right what's your plan you know same questions do you have extra
[00:49:16] food do you have um you know do you have a plan in place that okay you wake up or you're at work
[00:49:24] or something occurs all electricity goes out you get you you've got to get home you got to get
[00:49:30] your kids from school you got to coordinate all of that you got to try and get home safely
[00:49:36] and deal with this national emergency just driving is going to be a nightmare with no electricity right
[00:49:41] because all I'm traffic lights ain't gonna work you know you're gonna have to navigate streets
[00:49:46] and possibly highways and possibly really busy streets right where you might not be able to drive
[00:49:53] your car because guess what those lights aren't gonna be working and there might be multiple
[00:49:58] vehicular crashes that's gonna block up the road you know so so what's your plan
[00:50:05] okay my analysis is that the recklessness of our leaders and because just the ineptitude
[00:50:16] of the folks that we have in places of you know in places of of leadership all across the globe
[00:50:25] yeah there is a very high possibility that we could be in some kind of global conflict here
[00:50:33] in the next couple of months uh here in this country the other high uh area of of of of issues
[00:50:39] is going to be the election here in the United States you know you have to be prepared to deal with
[00:50:45] a lot of the fallout I think that you know since it's gonna be Mr. Trump versus Mr. Biden uh there's
[00:50:52] going to be a lot of really aggressive um you know demonstrations and people in the streets and
[00:51:01] riding and different things happening um you know uh and so and I and I really think that that can
[00:51:08] really seriously cause some problems uh we have to be ready to deal with those in um um scenarios
[00:51:15] the two big scenarios this year for this country I believe right apart from the the economy will
[00:51:23] be dealing with the issues right with the uh the the fallout from the elections and you know I
[00:51:32] I don't know if you know if if all of this is really gonna be good for a country
[00:51:38] because even if Mr. Trump gets elected how is he gonna govern with all these people against them
[00:51:43] who is going to be working for him because they go after everybody that works for him and destroy
[00:51:48] those people so we'll even be able to govern I I don't even know it's just one of them things
[00:51:53] that you're throughout there right you gotta just kind of think about that kind of stuff um
[00:51:58] and just the fallout from all of that you know they're just the craziness that's going to result
[00:52:03] from the left with all of that because they like to think that the craziness is only gonna come
[00:52:09] from the right but there's gonna be serious craziness from the left as well I think that they're
[00:52:14] gonna be the ones in the street burning stuff and you know demonstrating and and and and causing all
[00:52:20] kinds of national chaos if Mr. Trump wins based on what happened last time around okay because I
[00:52:28] think they're gonna lose their mind so so there is that and then looming over all of this is
[00:52:33] the possibility of nuclear of a nuclear conflict a nuclear war okay so that's my take on the issue
[00:52:45] I think that the threat is real I think that you should prep for it I think that uh you know you
[00:52:51] just gotta you gotta game it out and say okay what if I wake up tomorrow and nothing is working
[00:53:00] okay am I ready to to navigate that world okay folks these are serious times and serious times
[00:53:11] require serious people so this is where I'm gonna end it for now uh keep listening to PBN okay I
[00:53:17] know that this was a bit heavy uh this was you know this this was a pretty gloomy subject but we have
[00:53:25] to look at these things we have to look at the facts we cannot be you know we cannot imbibe the
[00:53:34] nonsense that the mainstream media and and the uh you know the the and Western propaganda we cannot
[00:53:42] we can't we that's not the way the world is going here it's not the way the world is going
[00:53:49] right um you know we have to look at okay you know while we we don't know the full truth of the
[00:53:56] situation we can look at the facts as as as we can glean them and as it stands right we're in a
[00:54:05] really serious situation okay we're we're in a really serious situation especially you know
[00:54:12] the Russians seemingly they're gonna win this war in Ukraine and of course NATO is never gonna stand
[00:54:18] for that and I think that that's going to be the problem the problem is they're never gonna be
[00:54:23] able to admit defeat after lying to the population lying to their people about what's going on in
[00:54:29] Russia and therein lies the Rob therein lies the Rob okay all right well let's just hope for
[00:54:42] the best folks let's just hope for the best okay so uh you know there's gonna be there is a
[00:54:47] lot of stuff on pb and this week please listen if you like what you hear or if you think somebody
[00:54:53] could benefit from from what you've heard please pass us around let people know about this resource
[00:54:59] folks um you know we offer a very unique uh you know um thing here on pb and just let people know
[00:55:06] what what was you know what we're all about and please pass these podcasts around and share
[00:55:11] share us share us with everyone okay um you know if you uh want to read something really interesting
[00:55:19] about a family surviving an economic collapse you can go over to amazon and you can get my book
[00:55:26] the proper part one the collapse by Carl 80 brown that's the proper part one the collapse by
[00:55:30] Carl 80 brown and uh it's about a family surviving an economic collapse and and you know that's the
[00:55:37] whole US after they've been attacked you know by my nuclear weapons and the economy just folds up
