America\u2019s Secret Planned Conquest Of Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. government\u2019s plan to conquer Russia is based upon a belief in, and the fundamental plan to establish, \u201cNuclear Primacy\u201d against Russia \u2014 an American ability to win a nuclear war against, and so conquer, Russia.<\/p>\n

This concept became respectable in U.S. academic and governmental policymaking circles when virtually simultaneously in 2006 a short-form and a long-form version of an article endorsing the concept, which the article\u2019s two co-authors there named \u201cnuclear primacy,\u201d were published respectively in the world\u2019s two most influential journals of international affairs, Foreign Affairs from the Council on Foreign Relations, and\u00a0International Security<\/a>\u00a0from Harvard. (CFR got the more popular short version, titled\u00a0\u201cThe Rise of U.S. Nuclear Primacy\u201d<\/a>, and\u00a0Harvard got the more scholarly long version, which was titled\u00a0\u201cThe End of MAD?\u201d<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

This article claimed that the central geostrategic concept during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, Mutually Assured Destruction or \u201cMAD\u201d \u2014 in which there is no such thing as the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. conquering the other, because the first of the two to attack will itself also be destroyed by the surviving nuclear forces of the one responding to that attack \u2014 will soon be merely past history (like the Soviet Union itself already is); and, so, as the short form of the article said, \u201cnuclear primacy remains a goal of the United States\u201d; and, as the long form said, \u201cthe United States now stands on the cusp of nuclear primacy.\u201d In other words: arms-control or no, the U.S. should, and soon will, be able to grab Russia (the largest land-mass of any country, and also the one richest in natural resources).<\/p>\n
