The head of U.S. Strategic Command is calling for military and federal leaders to reimagine methods of deterring aggressive action from rivals such as China and Russia, including the "real possibility" of nuclear war.
In a stark assessment of the current geopolitical landscape, STRATCOM Commander Adm. Charles Richard warned that China and Russia have "begun to aggressively challenge international norms" in "ways not seen since the height of the Cold War." Richard cited a rise in cyberattacks and "threats in space," as well as their investment in advanced arms such as nuclear weapons.
"There is a real possibility that a regional crisis with Russia or China could escalate quickly to a conflict involving nuclear weapons, if they perceived a conventional loss would threaten the regime or state," Richard wrote in the February issue of "Proceedings," the U.S. Naval Institute’s monthly magazine. "Consequently, the U.S. military must shift its principal assumption from "nuclear employment is not possible" to "nuclear employment is a very real possibility," and act to meet and deter that reality."
This is what TruNews had to say about this news as well as news out of China.
Russia’s military has deployed its first Avangard hypersonic intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was cited as telling President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
Putin, who said the nuclear-capable weapon would be deployed by late 2019, has touted the Avangard’s ability to evade U.S. missile defense systems. Russia said it showed the missile system to U.S. inspectors last month as part of a bilateral arms control treaty ahead of its deployment.
“The Avangard strategic missile system has been put on combat duty at 10 a.m. [Moscow time] today,” Shoigu was quoted as saying by Interfax.
It was deployed at a missile division in central Russia’s Orenburg region 1,500 kilometers southeast of Moscow, said Gen. Sergei Karakayev, chief of Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces.
Officials say the ICBM flies 27 times faster than the speed of sound. During the last known tests that took place in December 2018, the Avangard hit a practice target 6,000 kilometers away.
“This weapon of the future can penetrate both existing and any future missile defense systems,” Putin said at an annual defense meeting Tuesday.
He played up Russia as the only country armed with hypersonic weapons, calling it “a unique situation in our contemporary history where they’re trying to catch up.”

Biden's aggression as well as his ambivalent attitude towards China does not bode well
"Russia may be forced to respond with an EMP weapon to halt Biden’s thinly-veiled aggression"
A joint venture between the world’s largest electronic payment messaging system and the department responsible for China’s proposed central bank digital currency is being viewed as a sign that Beijing is exploring the global use of its planned sovereign digital currency and aiding its desire to internationalise the yuan.
Calls have been growing from within China for Beijing to reduce its reliance on the US dollar by increasing the global use of the yuan amid deteriorating relations with the United States.
And while it remains unclear at this stage as to the scope of the joint venture between SWIFT and both the Digital Currency Research Institute and the China National Clearing Centre within the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the development of the digital yuan could help promote its international use and support the nation’s push to rival the US as a global economic power, analysts said.
Russia’s “super electromagnetic pulse” weapon could destroy U.S. grid, expert warns
(Natural News) The prospect of the nation’s electrical grid being compromised has been a concern for many years, but worries are ramping up as Russia appears to be mastering systems that can overcome the protections that have been put in place to preserve the integrity of the grid.
Recent intelligence shows that Russia now possesses a specialized “super electromagnetic pulse” weapon and warhead that can travel at speeds of Mach 20 and would be able to plunge America into darkness with very little advance warning.
The Executive Director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, Peter Vincent Pry, has also warned that China has surpassed American developments in electromagnetic pulse warfare, putting us at a serious disadvantage if they choose to attack us in this manner.
Some experts are worried that President Biden’s lifting of President Trump’s ban on Chinese involvement in the U.S. grid will make it easier for them to attack our electric supply.
Pry, who has worked with previous administrations and the Pentagon to prepare for attacks, said that the current political turmoil presents a “golden opportunity” for an EMP strike, adding: “Washington’s impotence and irresolution will invite future, increasingly aggressive cyberattacks.”
The truth is that enemies of our nation, such as Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, view the U.S. as an easy target given how much of our economy depends on electricity, the internet and electronic communications. An attack would easily wipe out all of these, putting every American in danger.
Pry outlined these advancements in EMP warfare in a new report on Russia. EMP weapons, he says, are exploded very high up in the atmosphere, allowing them to wipe out electric grids and computers across wide swaths of the country in outages that could last longer than a year.
The nation’s large transformers controlling the grid and high-voltage control cables are said to be particularly vulnerable. Transformers take two years to build and cost roughly $7 million each, and we are already behind schedule in having backups ready. This means that if many of our transformers go out at once, as they would in an attack, there is little we can do to restore power in a reasonable time frame.
China is working on similar weapons
China has been working on an array of weapons including laser beam weapons, counter-space weapons, maneuverable missile warheads, artificial intelligence-directed robots and hypersonic weapons. Their weapons could easily knock out satellites, shutting down GPS networks and the nation’s most critical communications and intelligence systems. The threat is so concerning that the U.S. Naval Academy has revived a course in celestial navigation after previously deeming it outdated and cutting it from their curriculum.
There are also concerns about China’s WU-14, a hypersonic glide vehicle that is capable of delivering a precision-guided missile at hypersonic speeds from 60 miles above Earth. America is said to be unprepared to defend against such a weapon at the moment.
An EMP attack would ruin all of the electronics in the country, impacting power, medical networks, financial networks, transportation, food and water supply, and sanitation; they could even take out the ability of our military to respond. Pry has said that as many as 90 percent of Americans could die in the first year after such an event due to starvation, illness and societal collapse.
For this reason, many people are stocking up on appliances that do not need electricity to function, such as solar ovens, wind-up flashlights and hand-powered water pumps, not to mention barter items in the event that credit and debit cards are rendered useless. If you haven’t already started preparing for a potential EMP attack, it’s time to take the threat seriously.

Biden pushing America toward war with Russia
(Natural News) Until the illegitimate Biden regime is removed from power, fake President Biden is picking up where Obama left off, pushing hard to initiate war with Russia.
Taking orders from communist China, Biden is being used to weaken both the USA and Russia, allowing the CCP to dominate the world and succeed in their attempted occupation and conquering of North America.
Biden’s Secretary of Defense, General Austin, is already trying to turn the US military into the mockingly-labeled “libtard brigade” by pushing transgenderism in the ranks while seeking to root out all conservatives and Trump supporters (who probably make up 70% of the current active duty personnel).
With a focus on social indoctrination instead of readiness and national defense, Gen. Austin will put America on the path to weakness and vulnerability. And that’s the plan, of course, under Biden, who serves as the puppet of communist China.
Russia may be forced to respond with an EMP weapon to halt Biden’s thinly-veiled aggression
With Biden and Austin placing troops at Russia’s Western border and attempting to provoke Russia into conflict, Russia may have little choice but to deploy its new mach 20 EMP weapon that could plunge the continental United States into near-total darkness lasting a year or more.
Such a weapon would take down nearly the entire power grid, causing every city in America to almost instantly collapse into mass chaos and death. Only the prepared would survive, and very few people are truly prepared for a grid-down scenario.
Today’s Situation Update offers spiritual and practical solutions for surviving an EMP attack on America, and it reveals why people who keep their assets in dollars will lose everything.
If you’re going to be forced to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, bring your Bible and a working rifle, too, because God wants you to be prepared just as much as he wants you to be spiritually awake.
