When do the Nukes Fly? When they're the only thing left as the source of power...

for the West's ruling elites.

Manufacturing: Pretty Much Gone

Conventional Military: Shot to pieces. Used and abused as if, as Vonnegut once said, they were someone's toys.

Finance: Need I say more.

You may have noticed that their values are not ours. My take is that, when push comes to shove, the elites will let the Nukes fly rather than give up power.

Now, they don't have their finger on the button. Their M.O. is to create events that compel those that do.

I've been saying for years "I see WW III coming unless we stop these ghouls." As each day goes by, I think my concerns will seem less and less ridiculous.

Surely, if they launch one, they'll launch a hundred. And that will be that.

But we won't go out with a nuclear bang. We'll go out with a nuclear whimper.

400 nuke plants around the world have waste that can't be safe for 10,000 years. I mean, for ten thousand years it will be deadly. Already, the one waste plant we have in the US is broken down and leaking after just 15 years!!

I wish radiation was good for us, because it's what's for dinner.

As far as I see the experiment has started. I suppose nuclear war again would push us to the main entree and off to dessert.

Those with access, but no real power?

And when they 'let them fly' where does that leave the target country?
