To War or Not To War?
That is the Question.

Maybe not your question -
but the most consuming question
to the key American decision makers.

If the US is attacked -
well then it is a no brainer,
the US will respond.
So far, no country has shown
such lack of brains as to militarily strike the US.
The US is not about to be invaded.
This reduces then to the question of -
why should the US start a war with another country?
The official answers are:
1. American Interests
2. Pre-emptive action protects
Much emphasis on the latter -
has been talked about in the last week
regarding the US Nuclear Posture Review
and other sources.
Kissinger once wrote,
“(T)he weak grow strong by effrontery.
The strong grow weak through inhibition.”
No sentence better captures the U.S.-North Korea relationship.
Last week I discussed two statements by Henry Kissinger
about the pressure upon DT to strike NK.
In November, the improved version of the GBU-57 was deemed ready for battlefield use, according to a Pentagon report cited by Anthony Capaccio of Bloomberg News. Then, in January, the Air Force transferred three B-2 stealth bombers and their crews from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to Andersen Air Force Base on Guam, in the Western Pacific. Although described as a normal rotational shift intended to showcase US airpower in the Pacific, it is impossible to view this move without considering possible plans for attacks on North Korea.
There are so many concerned that there are two bills currently before Congress, HR 4837, the “No Unconstitutional Strike against North Korea Act,” and its Senate version, S. 2016; both prohibit the president from launching a first strike against North Korea or otherwise engaging US armed forces in hostilities with the North without a declaration of war or explicit statutory authorization by Congress.
China has not been non-responsive
China Strengthens Missile Defense Near N.Korean Border
---On Jan. 24, Taiwan's Central News Agency reported that the 78th Group Army, the first Chinese military unit that would cross the border into the North in the event of a war on the Korean Peninsula, has been armed with newest surface-to-air missiles against South Korean and U.S. aircraft and missiles.
Military units in Yanbian were relocated from Heilongjiang Province, thus adding 300,000 troops along the border, the source added.
On Friday, China’s state-run People’s Daily newspaper reported that Beijing ,,, establishing nuclear monitoring stations throughout the world,
Massive Chinese Military actions of developing, testing,
and equipping its military with new hardware -
PLUS for the first time -
establishing military bases
outside of China.
Russia should not go unnoticed.
Reportedly, 200 Russians were killed this week
by US backed troops -
and Russia is taking matters to the UN about the
US coalition airstrike.
The Jerusalem Press says that
things are the most intense for Israel
that they have been in forty years.
I mention not Pakistan.
Nor the Deep State chasing DT.
Nor, as of today -
something similar with Netanyahu in Israel.
Too early to analyze.
Nor the stock market -
nor many other things -
but in the past -
for all American presidencies
the solution to all insurmountable crises -
has been war.
War has always been the American way.

This Week at Ark Two Catastrophe.

Neighbor across the street -
who has always been a great help -
was completely burned out.
Two additional trips to surgeons.
Both of whom want to operate -
one on the prostate scheduling soon -
one on the eyes wanting to -
but won't because it is too dangerous
with my having only one eye already.
Paul with us for ten days.
We brought in last of wood tonight -
that will last us three days.
Have to try to figure out that one tomorrow.
NO! None of these are great problems.
We are preparing for great problems.
This is just part of the preparation.
Mustn't let small things over concern us.
LOTS more help needed with Ark Two -
but all those here know how much we get -
which is far beyond anyone else.
Unity and Love,
Bruce
