US officials, including Pranay Vaddi, an arms control official on the National Security Council, have made public comments about the changes to the strategy.
Vaddi said in June that the new strategy emphasizes “the need to deter Russia, the [People’s Republic of China] and North Korea simultaneously.”
The strategy also focuses on China for the first time, as the Pentagon has claimed China could increase its nuclear stockpile to 1,500 by 2035. Current estimates put China’s arsenal at about 500.
Despite the risk of a US-China war quickly turning nuclear, US military officials are openly planning for a direct clash with Beijing and claim that the US could “win.”
The nuclear strategy’s focus on China aligns with the Pentagon’s 2022 National Defense Strategy, which names Beijing as the top threat facing the US, with Russia coming in second.
The US government is run by psychotic warmongers.
Biden approved a classified plan that "ordered U.S. forces to prepare for possible coordinated nuclear confrontations with Russia, China and North Korea".
