The Chinese said submarines off the California coast would wipe out everything from the Pacific to the Rockies. And the Chinese ICBMs going over the North Pole would take out everything from the Rockies to the east coast. Now why would China do that? It’s not their practice to be threatening. They avoid that as the Russians do. They don’t threaten people with military attack.”
Eric King: “It was a bit shocking, the language that was used (by the Chinese in their threat to the United States). What did you make of that?”
Dr. Roberts: “They are trying to make the American people aware that the U.S. government has plans for attacking China and that there will be a cost if that happens. China doesn’t want war any more than Russia does. And so they released this hoping it would get some attention and people would ask, ‘Why is China doing this?’ And then somebody would say, ‘Well, the Americans have drawn up war plans.’
And lo and behold, somebody did do that. A scholar in Washington wrote an article and said, ‘Who gave Washington permission to draw up war plans against China?’ So the Chinese release was a way of making other influential people aware that Washington has all these nuclear first-strike plans against Russia and China. Because when you do that and you make it known, you raise the specter of these two countries saying, ‘Well, if they are going to attack us, then maybe we should just attack them.’
So the irresponsibility of Washington is unprecedented. This is one of the most grave, strategic errors that has ever been made, which is to signal to two nuclear-armed countries that you’ve drawn up nuclear plans for attacking them. This is madness. This is the kind of idiocy, arrogance, and hubris that defines the United States government. It’s the greatest collection of dangerous fools on the face of the Earth.”
