What U.S. Leaders Must Do to Deter a Catastrophic Sino-Russian Cyber/EMP/Nuclear Attack and Ensure America’s National Survival

Report on the threat we face from the Sino-Russian alliance, what we can do to divide and disrupt it and the steps we must take to secure America against the existential threats of nuclear, EMP attack

KEY JUDGMENTS

For the past three decades the U.S. has pursued a provocative foreign policy of inserting U.S. military forces along Russia’s and China’s borders causing them to ally against us. Despite the increasing risk of a two-front war waged by Russia in Eastern Europe and China in Taiwan and the South China Sea, U.S. military leaders have testified to Congress that the U.S. currently has no contingency plans for how to defeat two nuclear superpowers fighting together against us.

Meanwhile, U.S. leaders have pursued a reckless policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament, failed to build a comprehensive national missile defense system and failed to harden America’s national electric power grid from the existential threat of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack.

The use of super-EMP and cyber weapons at the onset of any conflict with Russia and China could shut down America’s electrical power grid, critical infrastructure, food and water distribution system, internet, communications, emergency services and military early-warning satellites while blinding us against subsequent attacks. The U.S. nuclear Command, Control and Communications (C3) system might also be vulnerable to cyberattack, potentially disrupting the President’s ability to launch a nuclear retaliatory strike.

The increasing nuclear imbalance between the U.S. and the Sino-Russian alliance, stemming from Russia’s and China’s massive nuclear buildup, has put the credibility of the U.S. nuclear arsenal in question, making the threat of nuclear attack against the U.S. greater than ever before.

Due to U.S. failure to rebuild, let alone modernize, America’s aging nuclear arsenal in response, the Sino-Russian alliance is on track to attaining nuclear supremacy over the U.S. within the next one to three years. This could enable America’s nuclear superpower enemies to attack U.S. allies, blackmail or coerce U.S. leaders to do their bidding or even to engage in a catastrophic attack on the U.S. homeland with comparatively little fear of an effective U.S. military response.

Despite these disturbing developments, the vast majority of U.S. policymakers remain largely oblivious to the increasing risk of a Sino-Russian cyber/EMP/nuclear attack on the U.S. homeland, mistakenly believing that the U.S. remains the strongest military power on Earth. U.S. leaders have done virtually nothing to protect U.S. citizens against these existential threats and so long as they do not take the increasing chance of a rapid U.S. defeat seriously, they are unlikely to take the difficult steps needed to prevent such a defeat.

America must adopt a new, more realistic national security strategy of retrenchment, which recognizes their spheres of influence, and significantly reduces our security commitments abroad in order to greatly diminish the increasing risk of stumbling into a full-scale war with the Sino-Russian alliance, while potentially serving to help divide and disrupt their alliance against us.

Immediate action needs to be taken by both the President and the U.S. Congress in order to double the size of America’s strategic nuclear arsenal, deploy 5,000 ABM’s and harden the U.S. electrical power grid against EMP attack in order to restore the U.S. ability to deter a catastrophic attack by Russia and China that, according to the Congressional EMP Commission, could result in the deaths of ninety percent of U.S. citizens within a year.
