TheAltWorld The Ever-widening War84
Scott Ritter says the attack on Russia’s strategic bombers was a British operation that the CIA knew about.
According to the White House, Trump was not informed. As Russian war doctrine calls for a strategic response to such an attack, both British and US intelligence risked launching a nuclear attack on the country or countries that Russia decided was responsible.
In other words, security agencies, not the president or Congress can launch a nuclear war. A stop must be put to the unaccountability of “security agencies” as clearly they have an independence of action that makes us very insecure.
Putin avoided his responsibility as defined by Russian war doctrine by classifying the attacks as terrorism and not acts of war. Putin substituted pretense for reality and has accepted an attack on Russia’s triad of nuclear forces as a non-event in order to keep alive the Kremlin’s unrealistic hopes of a peace deal that could turn into a broader agreement.
The ever-widening war continues to widen. The consequence of Putin’s good will is likely to be more provocative attacks. Sooner or later Russia will have to respond or surrender.
