Artist’s impression of the US Army’s next-generation long-range precision strike missile (PrSM). If this or other advanced short-range ballistic missile systems were deployed to and launched from bases in northern Finland or Norway, Russia would have hardly any protective measures to employ and no time to launch retaliatory strikes from targeted missile carriers and at-pier submarines in the region.

The looming missile crisis in the Arctic – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

LAW’s Nuclear World’s Thoughts Today . . .

Today’s article with comprehensive research — along with detailed strategic map images — clearly explains why such a potential missile crisis, especially if these missiles carry nuclear warheads — which would no doubt be the case — would cause a devastating war between Russia and the USA that would immediately spread internationally.

But, to me, such a missile crisis actually put into reality tells me that any attack on Russia (vice-versa) would only spark a global WWIII, comforting or protecting no one.

This reasoning is because if the two nuclear-armed giants of nuclear weaponry went to war of any kind, panic among other nations like China, North Koreas, and the other five nuclear armed countries would be desperate enough to attack their enemy neighbors — and that would be “all she wrote” . . .

The thing is that localized nuclear war can’t help but create global nuclear war, and pretending that nuclear war is similar to “old time” conventional war where foot-soldier “Johnny comes marching home” no longer exists — because nuclear war is automatically war on civilian cities, towns, military bases and facilities, and commercial nuclear power plants.

Nuclear war, no matter the localized original intent, is likely our own personal “armageddon.” en masse, along with innocent other life thrown in. ~llaw
