The True Existential Threat is Nuclear Anhilation

President Biden has made our adversary more aggressive than they were already were

Today’s threat of world annihilation is far different from that of the Cold War. In the 1960s, ninety percent of the nuclear weapons were possessed by the two wealthiest countries in the world. Today developing countries are building nuclear arsenals to ensure their survival against the most powerful or inflict their beliefs on non-believers.   

How did Nuclear Annihilation once again become an existential threat to the world?

In 1985 there were 70,000 nuclear weapons in existence. Nuclear arms treaties and agreements between the USSR and USA reduced the number of deployed nuclear weapons to 3,500 today. The world was much safer from a nuclear winter.

In 1994 further reductions occurred when the breakaway republics of the USSR, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan traded their nuclear weapons in exchange for sovereignty and territorial integrity assured by Russia, England, and the United States. (See Budapest Memorandum ).

In 2003 the United States invaded Iraq believing we were stopping Saddam Husain from unleashing “Weapons of Mass Destruction”  This was the first time possessing (or bluffing) WMD made a country less safe from invasion. Shortly after the Iraq invasion, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi abandoned his pursuit of WMD with unofficial assurances that America would leave Libya alone.

2006 North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon. Today North Korea possesses thirty-forty nuclear weapons that threaten the United States while Mt Mantap, North Korea’s underground test site maybe leading to airborne nuclear contamination of North Korea and China.   

In 2011 President Obama led NATO’s overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.  

In 2014 President Putin invaded Ukraine while US President Obama stood by despite the Budapest Memorandum assurance that America would do otherwise.

In 2015 President Obama’s Iran Deal would end restrictions on uranium enrichment and plutonium-processing capabilities between 2026 and 2031 resulting in Iran possessing nuclear weapons.  Iran would be the first theocratic government to possess nuclear weapons.

In 2016 President Obama drew a “Red Line in the Sand”. If Syria’s Assad used WMD against his own people, America would respond militarily. Assad used WMD and President Obama did nothing.

In 2018 President Trump withdrew from the Obama Iran Nuclear Deal,

hindering Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons.

In 2020 it was reported that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Milley informed China that he had “control” of the Nuclear Arsenal, not the President.  

In March 2022, President Putin invaded Ukraine for the second time. President Biden failed to provide Ukraine with sufficient military aid to repel the invasion.

In March 2022, President Putin threatens the use of nuclear weapons.

In 2022 President Biden signaled he intends to return to the “Iran Nuclear Deal” allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Opening the door to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.  

Who is in control of American nuclear weapons? Would Russia use nuclear weapons to win the Ukrainian war? Would Iran use nuclear weapons to win a jihadi war? Would a nuclear war in the middle east lead to the destruction of the world? Could a North Korean nuclear attack against America lead to a nuclear war with China and Russia? Will developing nations building nuclear weapons create a global environmental disaster? Will President Biden’s false bravado (or Alzheimer’s symptoms) start World War III?   

President Biden (Biden unable to undo what he started) Western Leaders need to begin walking the world back from the brink of nuclear war.

You read it here first

After my paragraph on Mark Ronchetti touring New Mexico from a park bench in Albuquerque. The Albuquerque Journal published an article on the very same thing.

After my article on the abandonment of the El Camino Real Museum south of San Antonio, NM. Larry Barker at KQRE ran a story on the museum permanently closing.

Did you read my article on the Onate Monument and Visitor Center in Alcalde, NM? What was worse, the cutting off the foot of Onate’s statue or the abandonment of Onate in Alcalde? For the record, I like Alcalde.

Only in New Mexico

Santa Fe Democrats are fighting for the good ole days. Don’t stop the carnage on our streets or the illiteracy of our young. Give the older generation monuments that the next generation will ignore or tear down.

Albuquerque Journal reported, Albuquerque Public Schools lost over 10,000 students in five years. APS leadership was concerned over the loss of revenue. Albuquerque Teachers Federation President Ellen Bernstein was concerned about the loss of jobs. Parents cannot count on anyone other than themselves to look after their children.

Adrian Avila, accused of murdering two people is back on the street sporting an ankle bracelet provided by DA Torrez & Judge Whitaker. The witnesses to the murders are now potential murder victims. Torrez and Whitaker are soon to announce that they too are victims of Avila. Donnie Brandon and Elias Otero Garcia are double victims, they were murdered and if they were of some consequence (to Torrez and Whitaker), Avila would be behind bars.
