The U.S. has the most capable nuclear forces in the world, both in terms of defense and offense, writes TomRTweets. This nuclear appeasement serves neither U.S. interests, nor our allies' interests, nor the ultimate cause of peace.
is an embarrassment that harms both the credibility and capability of U.S. nuclear deterrence.
At the capability level, Kirby's insistence that the postponed test doesn't affect readiness is absurd. Nuclear missile tests are designed to ensure that the missile in question and its associated units are ready to do what they are designed to do: deliver prompt and effective action in a situation of immense national danger. Considering that the Minuteman III forms the entirety of the ground-based element of the nuclear deterrent triad, its readiness is no small concern.
So, why is the Biden administration taking such a tone of appeasement toward this aggressive bully, even as he opposes Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Well, senior Russian government and military officials are almost certainly screeching over their encrypted communication networks that they fear a surprise U.S. nuclear attack. That would explain the U.S. worry over tests being"misconstrued.
The problem is that the Russians are likely screeching not in true fear, but rather to deceive U.S. and British listening ears. It's part and parcel with what the Russians refer to as"maskirovka," or camouflage masking strategy. If the Russians truly feared U.S. nuclear escalation, they would be surging their nuclear forces to high readiness levels and forward patrol sectors. Leaving no doubt that the test is a one-fingered salute to the U.S.
for taking advantage of perceived weakness. And this is also about China. Beijing, after all, is dramatically boosting its ground-based nuclear strike forces. And considering how China treats its own people, it would be madness to assume that Xi Jinping would hesitate before inflicting gross misery upon Americans.
