So, let's see...

In addition to a major NATO- Russia war with Ukraine as a proxy ...

Ballistic Missiles May Have Been Used In Huge Strike On US Base In Iraq
Update(1355ET): Details have continued trickling out and are scant, but by all accounts the Saturday attack on Al-Asad airbase in Western Iraq, which houses US forces, was a big one. Reuters cites an official who said "the base was hit by ballistic missiles but he left open the possibility it was struck by rockets." This has led to some speculation that ballistic missiles could have been fired on the US outpost from Iranian territory.
But Reuters also notes, "Two security sources in Iraq and one government source said the base was hit by multiple rockets fired from inside Iraq." One regional analyst has gathered sources to detail the following...

NATO to hold biggest drills since Cold War with 90,000 troops
BRUSSELS, Jan 18 (Reuters) - NATO is launching its largest exercise since the Cold War, rehearsing how U.S. troops could reinforce European allies in countries bordering Russia and on the alliance's eastern flank if a conflict were to flare up with a "near-peer" adversary.
Some 90,000 troops are due to join the Steadfast Defender 2024 drills that will run through May, the alliance's top commander Chris Cavoli said on Thursday.
...

The last exercises of a similar size were Reforger - during the Cold War in 1988 with 125,000 participants - and Trident Juncture in 2018 with 50,000 participants, according to NATO....

WHAT HAS CHANGED

NATO and Russia are closer to a direct conflict than ever before. Russia, however, is not the weakling that it used to be.

China and Russia are now joined at the hip. China is a huge industrial power with massive dollar reserves and global trade ambitions.

The other gorilla in the room is Saudi Arabia. The USA proved unreliable along several axes:
1) USA Patriot missiles proved unable to protect Saudi oil facilities from Houthi drones and rockets.
2) Saudi Arabia lost on several fronts getting involved in USA sponsored projects.

They lost big in the 2014-5 USA- sponsored oil war with Russia. Saudi Arabia increased it's output and oil prices fell. But it turned out that Russia was much better able to survive low oil prices than Saudi Arabia.

Despite funding ISIL, they failed to dislodge Assad from Syria.

Similarly, they failed to defeat the Houthis despite extensive USA support

3) China became a valued market for Saudi oil.

4) I think the final nail in the USA's coffin, at least for Saudi Arabia, was watching the Ukraine war unfold. It's clear to me that they see Russia as the winner, and the USA as something a paper tiger.


Between Russia and China the world is being pulled into two blocks. This includes key previous USA allies like Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. India sits between the two

NATO preparing for war with Russia - as Germany warns Putin may launch attack

A leading NATO official has said civilians and armed forces in the West need to be prepared for the outbreak of a war with Russia that would demand significant changes to their lives.

Saturday 20 January 2024 09:06, UK

https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-russian-foreign-minister
-sergei-lavrov-holding-major-news-conference-12541713?postid=7091345#liveblog-body


Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of the NATO military committee, said that while armed forces are already prepared for the outbreak of a war, citizens should also be ready for a conflict that would require a significant change to their lives.

Admiral Bauer said: "We have to realise it's not a given that we are in peace. And that's why we [NATO forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia."

"But the discussion is much wider. It is also the industrial base and also the people that have to understand they play a role."

Admiral Bauer said Sweden had done the right thing by calling for its population to prepare for war earlier this month.

"It starts there," he said. "The realisation that not everything is plannable and not everything is going to be hunky dory in the next 20 years."

The official's warning comes ahead of the launch of NATO's biggest exercise since the Cold War, as the alliance practices repelling an invasion by Russian forces.

Some 90,000 troops are set to join the Steadfast Defender exercise that will run through May, including 20,000 troops from the UK.

Russia could attack NATO countries in under a decade, German defence minister Boris Pistorius has warned.

"Our experts expect a period of five to eight years in which this could be possible," he told German outlet Der Tagesspiegel.

"We hear threats from the Kremlin almost every day, so we have to take into account that Vladimir Putin might even attack a NATO country one day."

But it is unlikely "for now", he added.

However, he said "one thing is certain - we are dealing with a military threat situation in Europe that has not existed for 30 years".

Mr Pistorius said: "We see it through Russia's attack on Ukraine. We hear threats from the Kremlin almost every day - most recently against our friends in the Baltics."

Asked whether the German government could do more to help Ukraine, Mr Pistorius said his country was the "second largest supporter of military aid after the USA, and therefore the largest in Europe".

He added: "If Putin wins this war and occupies Ukraine, the danger for the alliance's territory will of course also increase."

USA and globalist satraps project their plans on others. If anyone is going to start a direct war with Russia, it's NATO.

If anyone is going to push the nuclear button, it's the USA.

If anyone is going to engage in chemical or biowarfare, it's the USA and UK.

The Russians do love to mention Hiroshima, but they didn't understand the consequences for weaklings such as themselves. The Russians should be very careful, assuming they don't want to die screaming in a fire, because the US will nuke them, but every single time Russia walked up almost to the edge of nuking the US, some lower-level Russian refused to push the button. Americans won't refuse and their nukes actually are reliable and very accurate. Russians have their doubts about their equipment: https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2017-10/news-briefs/man-saved-world-di

Did you intend to make my point? Bc it sounds like you agree: the USA will resort to first-use of nukes.

Not to mention that when we send them, the Russians WILL send them right back too.



America isn't going to nuke Russia. Russia isn't going to nuke America.

This is a stupid argument.

If either of you are losing sleep over this, stop doing that.

That is the entire point that Russians don't want to understand or else they would not be acting today as they have habitually acted for centuries: killing tens of millions, enslaving more, and stealing their land. The USA has spent many $trillions to build an H-bomb delivery machine to destroy Russia and hasn't used it because of American politics, not because of constant Russian threats to nuke the USA. Russians don't seem to understand that Mutually Assured Destruction is not protecting them from American nukes. Russia is being protected because Presidents are worried about their political party being reelected. Repeating Hiroshima on Moscow is a 100% guaranteed way to lose the next election. The aftermath of a nuclear war? Nuclear Winter? The Road Warrior scenario of a ruined Earth? Worries about that are secondary to being reelected, but politicians don't want to admit that they care less about the end of the world (EOTW) than about the next election. If the politicians cared about EOTW, they would make climate change the top priority, but nowhere do politicians react that way because the enormous expense to immediately prevent climate change would mean they don't get elected. Reelection is the top priority, not preventing the EOTW.
