The
nation is fiercely debating the Iran nuclear deal and the significance
of the Ayatollah’s “death to America” tweets when the
real problem is Iran’s sponsor, Russia, and its lunatic ruler, Vladimir
Putin. By controlling the media, killing off the opposition, and smearing
Ukrainian freedom fighters as Nazis, the former KGB colonel has his country
worked into a collective frenzy over a concocted Western threat. Some
experts believe Russia is preparing for nuclear war on a global scale.
If Putin carries out his threats, America is no more.
In this
case, the U.S. is facing not only a nuclear weapons program, which is
the case with Iran, but what our top generals are calling an “existential
threat” to our survival as a nation.
As the
National Institute for Public Policy documents in the report, “Foreign
Nuclear Developments: A Gathering Storm,” Russia has a new military
doctrine that anticipates using nuclear weapons, and the regime has embarked
on “a massive strategic modernization program to deploy new nuclear
weapons and delivery systems.”
Not
only that, but Russia has a ballistic missile defense to use against us.
Geopolitical
analyst Jeff Nyquist tells Accuracy in Media, “The Russians became
angry and threatening when NATO tried to build a very modest missile defense
system to stop an Iranian missile. Yet Russia has over 10,000 dual purpose
SAM/ABMs for defense against our missiles and will be deploying a new
ABM prototype next year.”
He adds,
“Russia has potential war winning advantages over the U.S. and NATO—not
necessarily in the number of nuclear weapons but in the number of its
ABM batteries, and the upgrading of these batteries with a new generation
of interceptor rockets while the American side makes no effort in this
direction. The U.S. ABMs in Alaska and California would be lucky to stop
12 Russian warheads.”
Despite
the preoccupation with Iran’s nuclear program, Iran currently has
nothing of that nature which can threaten the homeland of the United States.
Yet, Russia can obliterate the United States, a fact that has been highlighted
recently by no less than three top American generals. The term, “existential
threat,” has been used repeatedly to describe the Russian challenge.
That term means the Russians can destroy the United States as a nation.
Marine
Corps General Joseph Dunford, nominated to become chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said, “If you want to talk about a nation that
could pose an existential threat to the United States, I’d have
to point to Russia.”
His
statement, made during his
Senate confirmation hearing on July 9, got a significant amount of
media attention. Similar warnings came from Army General Mark A. Milley,
commander of U.S. Forces Command, who has been nominated to become the
next Army chief of staff, and Air Force General Paul Selva, nominated
to become Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Dunford
and the other generals acknowledge the real or potential nuclear threats
from Iran, North Korea, and China. But it’s Russia that is deemed
an “existential threat.” It is the most significant.
Some
conservatives have been complaining that patriotic military officers are
being purged from the Armed Forces. Well, it appears that the purge missed
Generals Dunford, Milley, and Selva. These generals are taking a risk
by going against the conventional wisdom of the Obama administration.
Indeed, the White House and the State Department have gone out of their
way to say that the Obama administration does not agree with the assessment
that Russia is an existential threat to the United States.
For
the generals to go public in this manner—and to contradict the official
stance of the Obama administration—suggests that the threat from
Russia is very real indeed, and may be more serious than they are willing
to publicly acknowledge.
When
you consider how the Iran nuclear deal came about, you begin to realize
how serious it is. Obama actually thanked Putin for bringing it about.
The
CNN story, “Obama,
Putin congratulate each other for Iran deal,” demonstrates the
nature of the problem. Although the story is designed to highlight the
alleged positive roles Obama and Putin played in the deal, CNN reported
that in a readout of the conversation between the two leaders, “the
White House said Obama thanked Putin for Russia’s role in the Iran
nuclear negotiations.”
Thanked
Putin? This demonstrates something worse than the deal itself and the
real nature of the Iranian threat. Putin should thank Obama because the
U.S. is helping Iran, Russia’s client state, get tens of billions
of dollars in international financial aid. Down the line, Russia gets
U.S. approval to supply more weapons to the anti-American regime.
Iran
is certainly a potential nuclear threat to Israel, the so-called “little
Satan.” But the U.S. is the “Great Satan,” and our biggest
nuclear threat at the current time is Russia, as our top military officers
have said. Yet, Obama is treating Putin as an ally.
Israel
and its defenders have to come to grips with the fact that Iran is a threat
to the Jewish state, the region, and the world because of its Russian
sponsorship. Iran can’t be viewed in isolation, apart from Russia.
Indeed, Iran is considered
to be part of a “strategic alliance” with Russia.
As we
have noted on several occasions, the Iranian Ayatollah, Ali Khamenei,
is KGB-trained, having been “educated” at the KGB’s
Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. This means he is under Russian influence,
if not an agent.
Obama
has a blind spot regarding threats from the Islamic world, and that includes
Iran. But his unwillingness to face up to the Russian threat, which is
more serious than any on the face of the earth today, puts the very existence
of the United States in jeopardy.
Remember
that Obama mocked Mitt Romney’s statement during the 2012 campaign
that Russia was our geopolitical adversary. Obama hasn’t learned
anything, despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He keeps refusing to
supply Ukraine with heavy weapons to defend themselves. Praising the Russians
for their role in the Iran deal signals something worse than just incompetence.
It appears that Russia is exercising some sort of control over the Obama
administration.
