STATES U.S. HAS THE RIGHT TO START A NUCLEAR WAR
President Joe Biden has now totally repudiated his campaign promise that the sole purpose of U.S. nuclear weapons should be to deter and(or) repond to nuclear attacks.
He has decided to continue the U.S. policy which allows for an American nuclear attack on other nations to supposedly deter alleged conventional and other non-nuclear dangers, U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal (3-25-22).
A key problem with this is the very vague nature what is and is not defined as an "extreme" threat. The U.S. credibility remains haunted by its totally false statements about Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction".
Further questions about U.S. intentions were raised by the President's claim in Brussels on March 24 that the U.S. would respond "in kind" if Russia used chemical weapons. In terms of an international treaty neither America or Russia is allowed to have chemical weapons. Biden is clearly stating that the US has a chemical weapons program in direct violation of this. A White House staff member tried to clean up this statement by using some truly amazing intellectual acrobatics to explain the words "in kind" and flatly denied U.S. has or would use chemical weapons. All this is very disturbing for obvious reasons.
