Insider Tulsi Gabbard: Closer to nuclear war than ever before! Trump's government apparatus is deeply divided: Should nuclear war be waged to maintain US supremacy?

“The only thing worse than losing a nuclear war would be winning a nuclear war.”

E.I.R. News Donald Trump's MAGA movement, which helped him win a second term despite massive media hysteria, legal witch hunts and questionable election practices, is deeply divided on the issue of suicidal nuclear war. For any normal person, the answer should

be self-evident. As former US President and Commander-in-Chief in Europe during World War II, Dwight Eisenhower, once jokingly said, “The only thing worse than losing a nuclear war would be winning a nuclear war.” US President Ronald Reagan was so concerned about this that he took up Lyndon LaRouche's proposal for a missile defense with radiation weapons jointly developed by the USA and the Soviet Union and, despite the Soviet rejection of his offer, announced the legendary Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) on 23 March 1983 “to make nuclear missiles ineffective and obsolete”.

Today, however, only a few people know what happens in a thermonuclear exchange of blows (e.g. through lectures by experts such as Steve Starr and Ted Postol). Children in the “civilized” Western world learn nothing about what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Worse still, even supposed military experts, including those in high political positions, consider a nuclear war to be “winnable”. For example, Rear Admiral Thomas Buchanan, director of the U.S. Strategic Command's Planning and Policy Division, said at a CSIS conference on November 20, 2024:

"I think everyone would agree that if we have to engage in a strike exchange, we want to do it on terms that are most acceptable to the United States. Because it's the terms that are most acceptable to the United States that will enable us to continue to lead the world, right?"

A thermonuclear exchange is perfectly fine for Buchanan as long as the US can continue to “lead the world” afterwards.

On June 10, two days after President Trump's special summit at Camp David with Secretary of Defense Hegseth, Secretary of State Rubio, Vice President Vance, and many “admirals and generals,” Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released a stirring three-minute video about her recent visit to Hiroshima. (Meanwhile, with the disclaimer: “The views do not reflect the position of the U.S. government or the Department of Defense.”) In it, she shows images of the aftermath of the 1945 atomic bombing and warns that today's atomic bombs are 14 times more powerful. British and Zionist neo-conservative scribblers vehemently attacked Gabbard for this.

Trump's environment and movement is divided. The warmongers include Senator Lindsey Graham, General Michael Flynn and, unfortunately, Roger Stone, who in a new email praises President Nixon's help to Israel in 1973 with massive arms shipments to suggest that Trump should do the same.

On the other hand, Tucker Carlson, Trump's former adviser Colonel Douglas Macgregor, MP Marjorie Taylor Greene and, most recently, Steve Bannon vehemently oppose US involvement in a war with Iran. Their reasoning, however, is not very courageous; they brand it as a betrayal of “America First”.

After the attacks on Russia and Iran in the first two weeks of June, Trump will achieve nothing with his constantly contradictory signals. He can no longer act as a trustworthy negotiator for peace, something he obviously doesn't realize. (..)
