Nuke Warning: US-China Face-Off As Russia Holds Fire

THE United States and China are now in a nuclear face-off by proxy over US actions in Iraq, with strong likelihood that Russia will also escalate it's response. A strongly worded warning carried today by the China People's Daily online, reports North Korea warning that US South Korea military exercises risk imminent nuclear conflict.

The commentary by the Korean Central News Agency(KCNA) considers the scale of military exercises indicate the US is preparing to "mount a preemptive attack on nuclear facilities in the DPRK" as part of a "strategy of fighting two regional wars at the same time." The commentary describes the US actions as "part of its efforts to dominate the world."

The commentary alleges the United States has mobilized "massive" numbers of fighter-bombers and stealth fighters around the Korean Peninsula. It also accuses the US of turning down Democratic People's Republic of Korea proposals for a non-aggression treaty, and that the exercises drive the military situation on the Korean Peninsula to the "brink of a nuclear war."

This commentary and it's reporting by the People's Daily indicate the US and China are now in a nuclear face-off over the current global situation.

A People's Daily article yesterday 20th March, 2003, reported China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan saying that China strongly called for an immediate halt to military actions against Iraq, and a return to a political solution to Iraq issue. The Foreign Minister also "hoped" Japan would be "very prudent" in participating in any military actions overseas.

PREDICTED BY GULUFUTURE

In our 13th March analysis on GuluFuture.com we warned that a Global War was threatening following the assassination of the Serbian Prime Minister Zolan Djindjic in Belgrade. We saw that as a Russian move against US interests. Mr. Djindjic was effectively the US State Department's man in former Yugoslavia.

We interpreted the US tests of the so-called Mother of All Bombs(MOAB) thus:
"a clear sign to US enemies, that faced with possible conflicts on multiple fronts, the US will not risk depleting it's forces and resources in protracted battle in any individual region, but will seek quick victories by means of battlefield nuclear weapons."

We also warned in that analysis that: "The next logical step in this sickening game of international war poker would be the sudden escalation of Korean Peninsular tensions and perhaps even a manufactured crisis over Taiwan."

Our GuluFuture analysis concluded thus: "We are lurching toward a conflict of global dimensions, in which the major powers may well loose control of the geopolitical situation and which will feature both chemical and nuclear weapons."

We now stand over those comments and further advise that unknown to the public in Europe and the US, the current US administration is in a high-stakes maneuver which has potential to escalate at any time into a nuclear conflict.

We further advise that Russia, China and some countries in Europe are implacably opposed to the current US Administration and have allowed it to make the first aggressive moves for propaganda reasons and certain strategic advantages. The same reasons underlie the lack of Iraqi opposition in the early stages of the conflict.

There will be continuing serious escalations in the response of those opposed to the US Iraq war and concurrent global ambitions in the next few days. We expect Russia to respond in a similar though less overt fashion. A limited nuclear exchange would affect US internal public support more than it would other countries.
