Castro Warns of Nuclear War “Breaking Out Very Soon”

The ex President of Cuba, Fidel Castro noted in his recent
writings titled “The impossible happiness,” that a confrontation
with the United States and Israel against Iran will unleash a
“catastrophic” nuclear war.
Castro questioned the presence of warships in the Persian Gulf,
asking “What are the Israeli warships doing for the first time
in the Persian Gulf, the Straits of Hormuz and the maritime areas of Iran?”
“The empire is about to commit a priceless error and nothing can
stop it.” referring to the growing buildup of military force around Iran.
Castro sees the conflict between the U.S. and Iran as a
dangerous corssroad where “neither parts will cede,”
The ex-Cuban leader discusses the possibility of nuclear war breaking
out “before the World Cup finals.” and concludes his letter addressing
the “poor people of the world,” who have no fault in this “collosal mess
created by imperialism”, “we have no alternative than to confront the
consequences of the catastrophic nuclear war which will break out very shortly.

Fidel Castro has been away from public life since 2006 when
an illness led him to cede power to his brother Raul.

Russia mobilizes 20,000 troops

In one of the biggest show of military might since the
collapse of USSR, Russia mobilised 20,000 troops and
state-of-the-art weapons in a drill, with President
Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday asserting that his
country is a “great” naval power capable of
defending its interests.

Medvedev watched the impressive drills of the
Russian Navy as part of the strategic Vostok-2010
(Orient-2010) wargames from the nuclear-powered
“Pyotr Veliky” cruiser sailing in the sea of Okhotsk.

“Russia was and remains a great naval power capable
of accomplishing tasks in the problem regions and
is ready to defend its interests,” Medvedev said
praising the servicemen for “displaying high professionalism.”

‘No US troop survives if Iran is attacked’

Iran’s Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Hassan Firouzabadi has warned the US
against making any military moves on the Islamic Republic. Firouzabadi said that if the United States
attacks Iran, none of the American troops in the region will go back home alive.
“If the US seriously threatens Iran and takes an action against Iran, none of the US soldiers in the
region will return to America alive,” Fars news agency quoted him as saying on Thursday.
Firouzabadi made the remarks in reaction to US Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who said on
Tuesday that Washington was keeping “all options” on the table for dealing with Iran and North Korea.
“If there is a message for Iran and North Korea here, it is that if you’re going to play by the rules, if
you’re going to join the international community, then we will undertake certain obligations to you,”
AFP quoted Gates as saying. Firouzabadi also said if the US takes action against Iran, the threats
it would face increase exponentially and its economic problems skyrocket. “If the US seriously
threatens Iran and takes an action against Iran, the threats against it will become a thousand
times more, its economic problems will increase and it will lose more markets,” he said.
Firouzabadi’s speech comes a day after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad condemned
Washington’s latest nuclear policy. The policy authorizes the use of nuclear arms against nations
which violate the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and Obama’s mention of Iran is despite the
fact that there is no credible evidence indicating Iran is violating the NPT. In response to the new
nuclear strategy, Ahmadinejad lambasted the plan and advised his US counterpart not to repeat
the “past mistakes” of the previous US governments. “I advise Mr Obama to be careful. If he tries
to follow in the footsteps of Mr [George W.] Bush, the response of the [Iranian] nation will be the
same crushing response they gave to Bush,” President Ahmadinejad said in a speech in the
northwestern city of Orumiyeh.
The 50-page “Nuclear Posture Review” (NPR) issued by the US administration was released on Tuesday.
It purportedly restricts the use of US nuclear arms against some non-nuclear countries.
The new NPR by the Obama Administration restricts the use of US nuclear arms against some
non-nuclear countries. Countries that “from the US perspective” do not comply with the NPT
will be at risk of a possible nuclear attack.
The US has repeatedly accused Iran of failing to meet its obligations defined in the NPT —
an allegation categorically denied by Tehran. Iran was among the original countries that signed
the NPT, a global pact aimed at curbing the spread of nuclear weapons across the globe.
Tehran says its nuclear work is monitored by the UN nuclear watchdog and is conducted in accordance with the NPT.

WW3 will only be beneficial for US

Imagine the jobs created to make weapons and fill the front lines with jobs
Also, all the raw materials can be obtained after a successful invasion

Now they need another 9/11 to create that excuse to invade Iran

I think a war is indeed necessary to resolve the conflicts once and for all.

They will stage another self attack and link to Iran? Just like Bush ask his men to "find" if Saddam is Link to 9/11, immediately after that incident?

Seriously, i doubt Obama will go that far, but if the next president is a REPUBLICAN, I cannot rule out. Stupid Bush and friends....

WW1 is said to be the war to end all wars... it did not end.... it become WW2 almost 20 years later.

WW2 did not fully end and it becomes cold war....

And Iraq issue had started another round of never ending shit if people like Bush and friends are having power....

U.S. Missiles Deployed Near China

MARK THOMPSON
Time
July 8, 2010

If China’s satellites and spies were working properly, there was a flood of unsettling intelligence flowing into the Beijing headquarters of the Chinese Navy last week. A new class of U.S. super weapon had suddenly surfaced nearby. It was an Ohio-class submarine, which for decades carried only nuclear missiles targeted against the Soviet Union, and then Russia. But this one was different: for nearly three years, the U.S. Navy has been dispatching modified “boomers” to who knows where (they do travel underwater, after all). Four of the 18 ballistic-missile subs no longer carry nuclear-tipped Trident missiles. Instead, they now hold up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, capable of hitting anything within 1,000 miles with non-nuclear warheads.

Their capability makes watching these particular submarines especially interesting. The 14 Trident-carrying subs are useful in the unlikely event of a nuclear Armageddon, and Russia remains their prime target. But the Tomahawk-outfitted quartet carries a weapon that the U.S. military has used repeatedly against targets in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq and Sudan.

That’s why alarm bells would have sounded in Beijing June 28 when the Tomahawk-laden 560-foot USS Ohio popped up in the Philippines’ Subic Bay. More alarms likely were sounded when the USS Michigan arrived in Pusan, South Korea, the same day. And the klaxons would have maxed out as the USS Florida surfaced the same day at the joint U.S.-British naval base at Diego Garcia, a flyspeck of an island in the Indian Ocean. The Chinese military awoke to find as many as 462 additional Tomahawks deployed by the U.S. in its neighborhood. “There’s been a decision to bolster our forces in the Pacific,” says Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “There is no doubt that China will stand up and take notice.”

Hezbollah readying for urban war in southern Lebanon, IDF warns

Anshel Pfeffer
Haaretz
July 8, 2010

Israel’s military on Wednesday offered evidence of what it says is a growing threat from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, using aerial images to highlight the militants group’s activities in towns and villages close to the Israeli border.

In a briefing to journalists, Israel Defense Forces Colonel Ronen Marley revealed previously classified photographs to show what he said was a unit of 90 Hezbollah militants operating in the village of Al-Hiyam, where they were storing weapons close to hospitals and schools.

“Hezbollah is establishing itself with increasing strength in the villages,” Marley said. “Every day they are collecting significant intelligence on our forces along the border and every day they are engaged in digging, building and laying communications infrastructure to prepare themselves for war.”

Humans, Are the cancer of the earth, they destroy everything in their path and eventually destroy themselves.

So when cancer cell turn against each other, it is a good thing for mother nature.

46 US Warships Plus 7,000 US Marines On Route To Costa Rica?

Scott Oliver

July 9, 2010

On the 2nd July 2010 the Costa Rica Congress authorized the entry of 46 U.S. warships capable of carrying 200 helicopters and warplanes, plus 7,000 U.S. Marines “who may circulate the country in uniform without any restrictions” , plus submarine killer ships to the Costa Rican coast for “anti-narcotics operations and humanitarian missions’ between 1st July 2010 until 31st December 2010.

With this kind of nation destroying firepower, it gives real meaning to the expression “war on drugs”, but if this a real six month “war on drugs” we should expect to see some fantastic results, right?

Politicians representing the Acción Ciudadana (PAC), the Unidad Social Cristiana (PUSC) and the Frente Amplio (FA) political parties opposed the measure saying that the destructive force of the ships, helicopters and 7,000 US Marines is “disproportionate for the fight against drug trafficking.”

On Sunday, the President of Costa Rica Laura Chinchilla said that the government does not intend to militarize the fight against drugs and the Minister of Public Security Jose Maria Tijerino stressed that this huge, powerful military force would be under the command of the US Coast Guard and not the US Navy.

Although I don’t suppose the Costa Ricans, the drug traffickers or we expats will notice the difference…

Haha. We all know whats up their sleeves. Economy in deep shit! Create tensions among the Chinese. Create tensions among the Arabs and Iranians. Start selling weapons to them. Start telling how evil/terrorist Iran is. And the rest is History!

They will stage another self attack and link to Iran? Just like Bush ask his men to "find" if Saddam is Link to 9/11, immediately after that incident?

Seriously, i doubt Obama will go that far, but if the next president is a REPUBLICAN, I cannot rule out. Stupid Bush and friends....

Yes! And up to date no one dare to question US as to where were those WMD now?
