PROOF: U.S. Gov’t. DOES Intend WW3 to ‘WIN’ All-Out Nuclear War

Eric Zuesse

The U.S. Government now clearly does intend a blitz all-out nuclear attack simultaneously against Russia China, and possibly also North Korea, despite the scientific analyses showing that the consequence of such a WW3 will be at least a 50% die-off of the entire planet’s human population within just the first two years after the explosions.

On August 29th, MIT’s Dr. Theodore Postol, America’s leading nuclear-war scientist, headlined at The Quincy Institute, which is the leading think tank about nuclear war, “Biden's 'new' nuclear strategy and the super-fuse that sets it off: Biden's 'new' nuclear strategy and the super-fuse that sets it off: The military is already upgrading warheads capable of fighting a war with both China and Russia simultaneously.” 

Dr. Postol reports:

Although any technically accurate assessment of the physical consequences of the large-scale use of nuclear weapons instantly shows that “winning” a nuclear war has no meaning, the United States has strenuously emphasized the development of nuclear weapons technologies that could make sense only if their intended purpose is for fighting and winning nuclear wars.

The super-fuze is exactly that kind of technology.

It is now possible, at least according to nuclear war-fighting strategies, for the U.S. to attack the more than 300 ICBM silo-based ICBMs that China has been building since about 2020 with the copious numbers of available 100kt W-76 Trident II warheads. The rapid expansion in “hard-target kill capability” of the 100 kt W-76 warhead also makes it simultaneously possible for the U.S. to attack the roughly 300 silo-based Russian ICBMs.

Couching the development and deployment of these kinds of preemptive strike technologies in misleading terms like “enhancing deterrence,” does not fool the military and political leadership of Russia and China. It instead leaves them no choice but to consider ways of deterring a dangerous U.S. preemption-oriented nuclear-weaponized nation that is constantly striving for better ways to “disarm” large parts of their nuclear forces.

In that article he describes how the “super fuse” works.

Back on 3 May 2017, I headlined “America’s Top Scientists Confirm: U.S. Goal Now Is to Conquer Russia”, and reported:

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists published a study, on 1 March 2017, which opened:

The US nuclear forces modernization program has been portrayed to the public as an effort to ensure the reliability and safety of warheads in the US nuclear arsenal, rather than to enhance their military capabilities. In reality, however, that program has implemented revolutionary new technologies that will vastly increase the targeting capability of the US ballistic missile arsenal. This increase in capability is astonishing — boosting the overall killing power of existing US ballistic missile forces by a factor of roughly three [which is now precisely what is happening] — and it creates exactly what one would expect to see, if a nuclear-armed state were planning to have the capacity to fight and win a nuclear war by disarming enemies with a surprise first strike.

It continues:

Because the innovations in the super-fuze appear, to the non-technical eye, to be minor, policymakers outside of the US government (and probably inside the government as well) have completely missed its revolutionary impact on military capabilities and its important implications for global security.

This study was co-authored by America’s top three scientists specializing in analysis of weaponry and especially of the geostrategic balance between nations: Hans Kristensen, Matthew McKinzie, and Theodore Postol. Their report continues:

This vast increase in US nuclear targeting capability, which has largely been concealed from the general public, has serious implications for strategic stability and perceptions of US nuclear strategy and intentions.

Russian planners will almost surely see the advance in fuzing capability as empowering an increasingly feasible US preemptive nuclear strike capability. …

That 2017 article didn’t explain how a super-fuse works, but Dr. Postol’s 29 August 2024 article does, perhaps because the world’s press failed to pick up on this matter before now, when it might already be too late to reverse.

Postol’s August 29th article opened:

The New York Times reported last week that President Biden has approved a secret nuclear strategy refocusing on Chinese and Russian nuclear forces.

According to the paper, the new nuclear guidance “reorients America’s deterrent strategy” to meet “the need to deter Russia, the PRC (China) and North Korea simultaneously.”

Both of the U.S. Presidential candidates, Trump and Harris, ought to be asked, right at the top of the September 10th (Tuesday) debate between Trump and Harris, “If you become President, will you, or will you not, cancel the super-fuses that are now being loaded onto U.S. missiles and which are designed specifically for a blitz (unwarned) first-strike nuclear attack against Russia, China, and North Korea, to eliminate their ability to retaliate and so to ‘win’ a WW3 and thus take control over the entire world?” Don’t you think that in a democracy, that question would be asked in that debate, at that critically important time?

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
