“Bloody Nose” Operation

EDITOR’S NOTES:

World Federalists,

Here’s troubling war information from Chossudovsky’s analysis that we can’t get from mainstream media which continues “perception management” of the public.  Anti-war street protests worldwide will reduce the US/NATO lust for more war.  The Quincy Institute’s people are getting some mainstream media attention urging diplomacy instead of war.  Good idea.   But I think the world community will need to join forces with the peace-seeking nations at the UN General Assembly to create a governing model for a “new UN” in order to be able to stop the aggression of  super-rogue states (like the US, Israel, & Saudi Arabia).  US/Israel plans for use of tactical nukes is a serious option which reveals an extremely dangerous psychopathic militarism.  The UN stands by helplessly due to its obsolete Charter.  The Earth Constitution waits in the wings ready to go.

And it is precisely because of US weaknesses in the realm of conventional warfare that a nuclear option could be envisaged.  Such an option would inevitably lead to escalation.

Ignorance and stupidity are factors in the decision making process. According to foreign policy analyst Edward Curtin “Crazy people do crazy things”. 

Who are the crazy people in key decision-making positions?

Trump foreign policy advisers: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, national security adviser Robert O’Brien and Brian Hook, (Special Representative for Iran and Advisor to Pompeo), could “advise” President Trump to authorize  a “bloody nose operation” against Iran using tactical (B61 bunker buster) nuclear weapons, which the Pentagon has categorized as “harmless to civilians because the explosion is underground”.

The bloody nose operation” as designated by the Pentagon, conveys the idea of a military op (using a low yield “more usable” tactical nuclear weapon) which allegedly “creates minimum damage”. It’s a lie: the tactical nuclear weapon has an explosive capacity between one third and 12 times a Hiroshima bomb.

According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (July 2019):

Tensions between the United States and Iran are spiraling toward a military confrontation that carries a real possibility that the United States will use nuclear weapons. Iran’s assortment of asymmetrical capabilities—all constructed to be effective against the United States—nearly assures such a confrontation. The current US nuclear posture leaves the Trump administration at least open to the use of tactical nuclear weapons in conventional theaters. Some in the current administration may well think it to be in the best interest of the United States to seek a quick and decisive victory in the oil hub of the Persian Gulf—and to do so by using its nuclear arsenal.

We believe there is a heightened possibility of a US-Iran war triggering a US nuclear strike . . .
