Biden secretly orders US to prepare for nuclear threats from China, Russia and North Korea:
President Biden has signed off on a highly classified plan that shifts America’s nuclear strategy to focus on China as a nuclear threat — and prepare for the possibility that the communist nation could team up with North Korea and Russia against the US, according to a new report.
Biden made the shift in March because the Pentagon believes China’s nuclear arsenal will rival the US and Russia, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
The new strategy is called the “Nuclear Employment Guidance” and also readies the US for a possible coordinated threat between China, Russia and North Korea, the newspaper reported.
In a pair of recent speeches, two senior administration officials have hinted at the growing Chinese nuclear threat.
“The President recently issued updated nuclear weapons employment guidance to account for multiple nuclear-armed adversaries, and, in particular, the significant increase in the size and diversity of [China’s] nuclear arsenal,” said Vipin Narang this month when he was still the acting assistant secretary of defense of space policy.
“My office has begun to provide the Department and the Joint Force updated implementation guidance on how to plan and posture our forces in this new environment.”
He also added during the speech the US hopes China engages “responsibly” on nuclear issues including transparency and risk reduction, which Washington officials have repeatedly raised with the rival nation.
National Security Council’s senior director for arms control and nonproliferation, Pranay Vaddi, also referred to the top-secret document in June, the Times reported. --->READ MORE HERE
Report: Biden secretly altered U.S. nuclear strategy:
President Biden has reportedly altered the U.S. strategic nuclear plans toward opposing China’s burgeoning nuclear arsenal and preparing for possible nuclear coordination between China, Russia and North Korea.
According to a report Tuesday evening in The New York Times, the highly classified “Nuclear Employment Guidance” was altered in March without any public announcement.
“The document, updated every four years or so, is so highly classified that there are no electronic copies, only a small number of hard copies distributed to a few national security officials and Pentagon commanders,” the Times reported.
Congress is expected to be notified of the changes in unclassified form before Mr. Biden’s term in the White House ends in January.
But, The Times reported, two separate top officials have received permission to refer to the changes in public speeches, albeit only in “carefully constrained, single sentences.”
“The president recently issued updated nuclear-weapons employment guidance to account for multiple nuclear-armed adversaries,” said Vipin Narang, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology nuclear strategist who served in the Pentagon.
“In particular,” he added, the guidance reacted to “the significant increase in the size and diversity” of China’s nuclear arsenal. --->READ MORE HERE
