Reports early this morning suggest that the Department of Defense has acted in Belarus without the approval of the White House and Commander-in-Chief. A CIA insider reported that “the DOD lied about the presidential approval” which raises serious concerns regarding co-operation within the government. In a CIA memo revealed yesterday, the Agency called the Department of Defense “dysfunctional” and questioned their decision-making. Though the Department of Defense is yet to make any sort of public response to the allegations, sources in the Department described the CIA as “a tough batch”.

Will internal struggles between different institutions in the U.S. government prevent America from coordinating a viable and consistent response to a conflict on NATO’s doorstep? If the trends of recent hours continue, that may well be the case.

China is actively using its military against the South Korean military at the North Korean Border. Additionally, the Chinese cabinet is making preparations to bomb Seoul with non-nuclear munitions. The whistleblower informed us that “the nuclear option was also brought up as a final straw.”

The Chinese have made plans for an attempted South Korean counter-invasion of China. Under the circumstance that South Korean forces cross the Chinese border, Beijing “will go nuclear.” A nuclear war cannot lead to a victory for any of the belligerents. To be as blunt as possible: This is not good. 

The whistleblower asked the New York Times to print the following statement: “By leaking documents to publications like yours I am doing everything in my power to prevent the doomsday scenario and I hope that everyone in my cabinet does the same, even if this includes overthrowing Xi Jinping who has been a notorious warmonger in this situation.”

As the possibility of a bombing, coup, or nuclear war increases, the world holds their breath. The New York Times will continue to keep you updated as the situation develops.

Sources confirmed the Feb. 6 attack by Chinese forces in South Korean territory, leaving many wounded and severely injured. In a press release sent by the Cabinet of the United States, they clearly stated their discomfort of this attack, as well as condemning the attack on South Korea forces. “This strike characterizes an uncalled for escalation of violence in an already unstable region that is both immoral and irresponsible”, they said.  

Later that day, They classified this attack as “A direct attack to our ally South Korea” witch would be followed by these statements regarding the conflict:

A: Declare war on China. They attacked one of the United States’ most important allies.
B: Send in aircraft of our own to fire on Chinese soldiers.
C: Continue our support in a more covert fashion. We can’t get ourselves directly involved.
D: Choose your own, or a combination of these options.

The new Biden administration has found themselves in two wars already, and the reputation of the United States seems to be going back into violence and war. The BBC will keep covering this topic closely, and report any new updates. 

Earlier today, China and Russia officially recognized Choe Ryong-hae, Kim Jong Un’s former Head of State.

South Korea, Japan, and India, backed by the United States, recognized the North Korean People’s Liberation Front (PLF) as the legitimate government of Korea. The PLF is a group of military defectors from North Korea that support the reunification of the Korean Peninsula. While political tensions rise, militaristic tensions follow. According to a recent leak, Chinese aircraft have fired upon South Korean soldiers at the 38th parallel. 

Although the Cabinet of South Korea has not made action yet, action may be taken against The People’s Republic of China.  After the recent encounter with China, it may be reasonable that the two countries will enter war against each other. 

If war is to occur, nuclear arms may be involved. Foreshadowing this today, Iran released a statement that “western nations do not have power over other countries, like Iran and North Korea” after conducting a successful nuclear test. This may suggest that North Korea will go to extreme means if South Korea were to invade the DPRK. 

Whether the South Korean government will go to war is unknown, but tomorrow, the world will find out whether the tensions between China and the Korean peninsula will deescalate. 

As the New York Times (and other outlets) already reported, an Israeli delegate stated that, “Our nuclear weapons also will stand at the ready as time continues onward, and God bless us all.” In an interview, an Iranian ambassador told the New York Times that, “To the question ‘will Iran deploy nukes if invaded?’ I respond with this: ‘Would India use its nukes if it was invaded? Would the US? Would Israel?’ Of course. Do not demonize Iran! We have our nukes so that we may never have to use them, you see?”

It should frighten the world that two nations are this close to detonating nuclear weapons. If Israel launched a preemptive nuclear strike, Iran will no doubt respond, which will no doubt provoke the United States, which will no doubt provoke China and Russia. Alternatively, if Iran launches a nuclear strike, Israel will no doubt respond, which will no doubt provoke Russia and China, which will no doubt provoke the United States. No matter the situation, everyone loses. 

This precept isn’t revolutionary, the idea of Mutually Assured Destruction (or M.A.D. for short) originated in the Cold War. But for some reason, global leaders seem anxious to put their finger on the proverbial big, red button. Why is this the case? Maybe the Ayatollah wants to seem like a strong leader for his people, maybe Israel wants to stay vigilant as a tiny nation surrounded by self-proclaimed enemies. Whatever the reason, it’s time for the Israelis and the Iranians to rematch War Games, or even just listen to some common sense. To the leaders of Iran and Israel, on behalf of the global community, fingers off!
