"When the Spirit of Truth comes,
he will guide you into all truth;
for he will not speak on his own authority,
but whatever he hears he will speak,
and he will declare to you the things that are to come."
(John 16:13)
Just as the DJIA thrusts above the psychologically important 14000 mark and America reaches a manic extreme of unwarranted confidence in the future (given past "sin"), North Korea enters the equation with a threat to unleash war on South Korea and its American protectorate.
North Korea has announced it is voiding non-aggression pacts with South Korea and severing its hotline with Seoul, hours after threatening the US with a pre-emptive nuclear strike.
North Korea "abrogates all agreements on non-aggression reached between the North and the South," the state-run Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement.
"It notifies the South side that it will immediately cut off the North-South hotline," said the statement, which was carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
The statement came just hours after the UN Security Council unanimously voted to impose tough sanctions against the rogue nation.
While I don't think North Korea is planning an all-out nuclear war against South Korea and America, what is possible is that some sort of limited military action, like a repeat of the artillery bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island. Indeed, this is what's suggested by the following CNN newsclip:
Of course, Russia and China are well aware of the likely repercussions of any sort of North Korean strike against South Korea at this point as the tensions between East and West, Communism and Capitalism, North Korea and South Korea, yin and yang have slowly been brought into perfect imbalance and a most potent ignition point.
Tis a matter of the final battle between Good and Evil for the "Seoul" of mankind.
"THE FAILURE OF U.S. POLICYMAKERS TO COMPREHEND THE VEILED AGGRESSIVENESS AND HOSTILITY TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES INHERENT IN SINO-SOVIET STRATEGY AND THE BELIEF THAT THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC REFORMS IN RUSSIA AND THE PARTIAL INTRODUCTION OF CAPITALISM IN CHINA HAVE FORESHADOWED THESE COUNTRIES' DEVELOPMENT INTO REAL DEMOCRACIES, HAVE ERODED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF U.S. POLICIES IN THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DEFENSE, INTELLIGENCE AND COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE FIELDS. U.S. POLICYMAKERS HAVE RECKLESSLY ACCEPTED THE PREMISE THAT RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE NO LONGER ENEMIES, BUT ARE RATHER POTENTIAL ALLIES AND PARTNERS FULLY DESERVING OF U.S. SUPPORT. ONLY COUNTRIES LIKE IRAN, (PRE-2003) IRAQ AND NORTH KOREA - WHICH (IRONICALLY, IN THIS CONTEXT) WORK SECRETLY WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA - ARE STILL CONSIDERED POTENTIAL ADVERSARIES."
- KGB DEFECTOR ANATOLIY GOLITSYN, THE PERESTROIKA DECEPTION, 1995, P.230
"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet 'convergence' strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied."
One might note that while the DJIA is well clear of the psychologically important 14000 mark, what's interesting is that the South Korean KOSPI is right at the key 2000 benchmark:
The North's unnamed foreign ministry spokesman said it would be entitled to take military action as of March 11 when U.S.-South Korea military drills move into a full-scale phase. [Reuters]
This is notable as the planet Mars enters the zodiac sign of Aries on March 12th (and stays there until April 20th). What does this mean astrologically?
Mars, the action packed planet of drive and ambition will enter the zodiac sign of Aries on Tuesday March 12, 2013 at 2:26am Eastern Time. Often called the God of War, this planet will give you the energy and will to face any battle you encounter....When the God of War meets up with the fiery Aries Ram, we are all in for an adventurous ride. Mars is the ruling planet for Aries, so when these two meet up it’s no time for sitting still. Movement, action, drive and aggression are all possible during this period. [Psychic Universe]
`NK commander who led Cheonan-Yeonpyeong attacks fired`
DECEMBER 27, 2011 07:21
Kim Kyuk Sik (photo), commander of the 4th Corps of the Chosun People`s army, appears to have been fired, sources said Monday. He is known to be one of those who initiated last year`s attacks on the South Korean naval vessel Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island.
A source said, “Kim must have been dismissed given all of the circumstances up to now." Another source said, “It seems that Kim has not yet been promoted at least."
Kim was not on the list of the funeral committee for Kim Jong Il announced Monday last week and has not yet visited the funeral site. South Korean intelligence, however, says the commander`s dismissal is not a soft approach gesture that North Korea wants to show to South Korea.
In February 2009, Kim Kyuk Sik was appointed commander of the corps governing Hwanghae Province and the Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea after serving as a chief of staff of the North Korean (Chosun) People`s Army. After the replacement of the corps commander last month, many rumors were milled over whether he was demoted or promoted to new supreme leader Kim Jong Un`s military adviser.
In the meantime, the official Workers` Party daily Rodong Shinmun said, "All party entities across the country support our great compatriot Kim Jong Un`s ideology and leadership. Let us safeguard the party`s central committee led by our respectful Kim Jong Un."
North Korean media covered stories on support for Kim Jong Un as head of the central committee and top military commander Sunday.
In North Korea, the leader is supposed to lead the people through the party. The succession will be complete only if Kim Jong Un becomes leader or general secretary of the party.
Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, said, "This implies that Pyongyang will move fast to end the power succession process. Kim Jong Un will be appointed the party`s general secretary at the general assembly of the party`s central committee in the foreseeable future."
"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet 'convergence' strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied."

Watch the following video from a Sky News report from the 1 minute mark on:
North Korea's ambassador to China is purportedly missing and rumored to be in Pyongyang. Meanwhile, Chinese President Hu Jintao reportedly went to the North Korean embassy in Beijing to try to meet the ambassador. This all may be suggestive that a power struggle is currently underway in North Korea.

I think I should point out that it would come as no surprise to me if North Korea invaded South Korea relatively soon.
Why?
Follow the bouncing ball.
1. On Christmas Day following the 1991 winter solstice lunar eclipse, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned and the Soviet Union officially disbanded. This signified the end of the Cold War which was, in fact, part of a massive strategic deception of the West:
3. North Korea is a puppet state of Moscow and Beijing and the DMZ separating the Koreas is the final active battlefront between the Communist East and Capitalist West. Thus, it appears the "Old Enemy" is likely planning to ignite the East-West 'Hot War' via Korea (and the Mideast) in the wake of waging false peace over the past 20-or-so years per a long-term plan.
The bottom line is that if the end of the Cold War occurred on Christmas Day in the wake of a lunar eclipse on the winter solstice in 1991, then maybe the Kremlin is planning to start the Hot War in the wake of a lunar eclipse on the winter solstice this year.
The Kremlin has been pretty brazen in its deceptive and ultimately murderous manipulation of world history, yet everyone in the West continues to believe in the "strong delusion".
Let's cut to the chase as the crisis on the Korean peninsula comes to a head.
What everyone needs to recognize is that Kim Jong Il and his young heir apparent Kim Jong-un don't take a dump without the permission of Beijing and Moscow.
Today, China supplies about 90% of North Korea's oil, 80% of its consumer goods and 45% of its food. Beijing is Pyongyang's only formal military ally and its primary backer in the United Nations Security Council and other diplomatic forums. If it weren't for the Chinese, there would be no North Korean missile program, no North Korean nuclear program and no North Korea. (Forbes)
That Western analysts try and ascertain the thinking of Pyongyang without reference to the larger strategic machinations of the "Old Enemy" is foolhardy and incompetent, to say the least. The term "Western intelligence" truly is an oxymoron IMHO:
"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet 'convergence' strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied."
Note how China is playing hardball with Obama in condemning North Korea in its brazen artillery attack on civilian targets on Yeonpyeong and is strangely unwilling to cooperate in reigning in the seeming rogue dictatorial regime in Pyongyang:
As part of an overall strategic imperative, China spent the last few decades befriending and trading with the West in order to acquire our technology and the means of production using mercantalist trade policies and their own slave labor supply. American and Western capitalists, stupid, self-serving and profiteering, were happy to cooperate in this ultimately suicidal endeavor. Thus, now global production is based in the land of our enemy and America mainly produces IOUs.
North Korea is a chess piece in the global game of Realpolitik that has been left ready to move at the opportune time to create a split between East and West, totalitarian "Communism" and libertarian "Capitalism", when the strategists in Moscow and Beijing see fit. In one quick maneuver the U.S. will find itself on the losing end of this game, i.e., we are set for checkmate when the Old Enemy so chooses now, and a primary target will be the Seoul of mankind.
"War to the hilt between Communism and Capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come in 20 or 30 years. To win, we shall need the element of surprise, the bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard-of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we shall smash them with our clenched fist..." - Dmitri Z. Manuilsky, Moscow's Lenin School of Political Warfare
Historical reality is now about to hit home in a catastrophic way as the underlying delusional insanity of American and Western selfishness comes home to roost. There is Evil and we have been misled by temptation and servitude to $$$ into our own demise. If this truth offends your self-important foolishness, then good! Stop cooperating in your own destruction and being an unwitting accomplice in, or at least neglectful bystander to, the murder of America and violent subjugation of the free world!
"Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants." - William Penn
While the focus in my writings has been on the DJIA, this also applies to other widely followed stock indices in other countries. As for a Korean crisis, obviously the key benchmarks in that part of the world would be South Korea's KOSPI, Japan's Nikkei, Hong Kong's Hang Seng and China's SSE. Low and behold, note how these major stock indices recently reversed from the 2000, 10000, 25000 and 3000 marks respectively:
As for the DJIA, it is poised above the 11000 mark. The reversal from Dow 11K in September of 2008 marked when the financial crisis hit that led to the Great Recession and currently ongoing global crisis. Another such reversal also occurred just before the May "flash crash" associated with the onset of the EU crisis that may soon be coming to a head:

Going way back, I have been warning of the possibility that a second Korean War might be ignited as part of the East starting World War Three with the West. From my 1998 "Korea Alert":
As I've been warning, igniting the Korean Peninsula may be a strategic diversion planned by Moscow. By having North Korea attack South Korea early-on in, or maybe at the beginning of, world war three, Russia can divert a sizeable proportion of U.S. military forces into the Far East. In this way....the Middle East (is) left under-defended and vulnerable to Russia's "Last Dash to the South"...
In light of this, developments concerning North Korea should be carefully watched. The sinking of the South Korean Cheonan warship in March has the region on edge, so it won't take much to trigger a full-scale war. In fact, one of the Kremlin's main propaganda mouthpieces, Pravda (which means "truth" in Russian), is running an ongoing special news section dubbed, "Large-scale War Possible On Korean Peninsula", to spell out to the West the looming conflict.
"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." [Luke 21:25-28]
On June 20th I posted a blog, "6/26 Lunar Eclipse Conjunct Pluto and the Cardinal Climax", that highlighted the outlook of Arch Crawford who has time and time again made startlingly accurate forecasts for the markets and world history based upon astrology.
Crawford is currently focused on an astrological "Cardinal Climax" alignment of the planets that he believes portends momentous, calamitous historical events in the weeks ahead.
On August 1, give or take a week, we’ll have the most five-planet alignments in perhaps thousands of years. Known as the “Cardinal Climax,” this is the meanest, nastiest, most challenging and most transformational of any planetary phenomena in all of written history!
We’re giving readers a link to a chart showing the Cardinal Climax Planetary Alignment for Aug. 1, 2010, from New York City:
What do you see?
This is the view of the planets from New York City on Aug. 1, at 6am. We have the most planets in the tightest alignments and at the supposedly 'sensitive' Zero degrees of Cardinal signs. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
I looked at records going back to the 1800’s, and this is the most difficult alignment I found. When I was at a conference in Boston last month, someone said this was the most difficult alignment they have seen in the last "1,000 years." Another person told me this is the worst alignment in "10,000 years."
What are possible consequences?
Worst cases include a nuclear accident. Nuclear war. Massive societal collapse. Maybe a pole flip, which can wipe out nearly everything.
Cardinal Climax is especially intimidating because of the proximity to the widely touted Mayan Calendar End Date. Plus, the Christians are looking for the Return of Jesus and/or the Rapture, the Muslims await the return of the umteenth Imam, the White Buffalo has been born, and Jews are fighting over the right to rebuild Solomon's Temple on the 'temple mount' in Jerusalem. These are all signs of “end times” by many different cultures.
The one thing most convincing to me is that there are more people alive on the planet today than all who have ever lived in recorded history. So it may be that every soul is on board for this event!
It's possible that part of what is about to unfold is the Revelation of God, i.e., the second coming of Christ, who I believe is me.
If so, then what is effectively underway is that I am, in essence, the source of humanity's rebirth, i.e., the meaning through which life resurrects and continues forth. I really don't want such a role, but apparently "I am that I am" by birth, so it is what it is.
If, indeed, the Elliott Wave Primary Wave 2 peak has just been reached in the Grand Supercycle bear market and Primary Wave 3 down, the "Apocalypse Wave", is next, what does this mean? Well, just consider the following chart presented in Robert Prechter's Elliott Wave Theorist January investment letter projecting the stock market's course over the next year or so:
That is not a misprint. The Elliott Wave Principle suggests a 90%+ drop in stock prices, to Dow 1000 or lower, lies ahead.
Since that post the stock market has dramatically reversed.
Here are some charts that show where we stand from Elliott Wave International (where subscribers have access to regular, in-depth analysis to track the unfolding wave patterns on a day-to-day basis):
The possibility remains that the form negative, destructive mass e-motion (energy in motion) takes could be a geopolitical shock, i.e., war. While the potentially explosive situations in the Mideast and on the Korean Peninsula appear to have simmered down, the possibility of an unexpected, historic upset must be deemed very high in the context of the current wave patterns and astroharmonics, particularly given "Kremlin Astrology".
This would normally seems absurdly improbable, but what is notable is how the current situation is parallel to right before 9/11. Just before the terrorist attacks in September 2001, the DJIA broke below the psychologically important 10,000 mark and there was a "Death Cross" when the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average. The exact same sort of market pattern is unfolding now:
What is unfolding other than the struggle of the collective soul through time? There are almost seven billion human points-of-view on this planet all of which are different. How does God form a common perspective? I don't know, but I'm certain God can...
I can't stand this prognosis anymore than you as I am a simple human being that lives in a target-rich environment subject to a cataclysm of horrendous proportions who hopes to be taken out early when the missiles fly, but I realize that may not my be fate as apparently I must live to act as an intercessor between God and man....not a task I feel worthy or capable of, but it is what it is. All I can tell you now is that, from what I can tell, you need to prepare for the storm that's been brewing. Man's soul may soon be besieged by Evil and we all have no one to blame but ourselves. History is replete with examples of those blessed by God who, full of themselves, turned on Him in their worldly "success" and subsequently suffered the inevitable consequences, but man apparently fails to learn from this repeated mistake.
Per "Open Doors USA", a Christian missionary organization operating underground in North Korea:
I’ve just received some breaking news from the field…
It details the horrifying situation our brothers and sisters face in North Korea… which you noticed earlier this month is #1 on Open Doors’ World Watch List for the 8th year in a row.
I cannot share all the details here, but the report from the field states that the North Korean government recently declared “100 Days of Combat.” This means everyone must work for the state during this time of “mobilization.” If someone is on the street without a valid reason, they are arrested and sent to a labor camp. (SOURCE)
Mass emotion has clearly turned down into Primary Wave 3 of the Grand Supercycle collapse. Given my "Global Bipolar Disorder" hypothesis, it would not come as a surprise if a full-scale East/West conflict (which involves the struggle between Communism and Capitalism) erupts in the near-future.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. [2 Thessalonians 2: 8-12]
President Obama is returning home after a summit with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev in Moscow and a G8 summit meeting in L'Aquila, Italy.
This total solar eclipse will traverse Southeast Asia. Given that Korea is the final Cold War frontline between Communism and Capitalism, totalitarianism and freedom, it might be that this flashpoint will be ignited in the coming days or weeks. I believe the stage has been set for a terrible 'Black Swan' event that will precipitate a rupture in East-West relations and open the way for the Apocalypse. Iran is also a major international fissure that bears watching. And on that latter point, I welcome you to listen to "Neda's Song" which I composed in tribute to Neda Agha-Soltan (ندا آقا سلطان), who was struck down in the streets of Tehran during the protests against the Islamic theofascists ruling their country and seeking to rule the world with Moscow's connivance:
Meanwhile, the Swine Flu is exponentially spreading such that by autumn upwards of a billion people will be infected:
Westerners, for the most part, continue to take news regarding Russia, China, North Korea, Georgia, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc. at face value. This self-deluding needs to stop if the free world is to have any chance of survival.
Regarding North Korea's recent provocations, just keep in mind the following key facts:
Today, China supplies about 90% of North Korea's oil, 80% of its consumer goods and 45% of its food. Beijing is Pyongyang's only formal military ally and its primary backer in the United Nations Security Council and other diplomatic forums. If it weren't for the Chinese, there would be no North Korean missile program, no North Korean nuclear program and no North Korea. (Forbes)
Pyongyang would not be testing nukes and/or otherwise provoking a confrontation with the West unless it has at least tacit approval from Beijing. The threat of China applying what would effectively be strangling economic sanctions means that North Korea's behavior is shaped by Chinese policy toward its Stalinist neighbor. So the real question here is not what the supposed madman, Kim Jong Il, is up to....but rather what is China up to?
"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem.

"Astrology is a quite serious science. It helps us launch spacecraft, missiles; we use it broadly to forestall suicides among the personnel. Experience shows it is unreasonable to reject it. Our estimates and forecasts are usually corroborated up to 70-75 percent." - Viktor Yakovlev, Commander of the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces
"Believe it or not, every three months a summary of astrological prognoses predicting the place and date of future extraordinary occurrences is sent from the St. Petersburg Naval Scientific Research Institute to the Russian Defense Ministry's General Staff." - Komsomolskaya Pravda; January 21, 1998
Notably, when the Berlin Wall came down, a major phase of "peaceful" convergence between East and West, Communism and Capitalism, got underway.
Korea's DMZ constitutes the final Cold War "battleline" between world Communism and Capitalism, East and West.
With this week's conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune, North Korea carried out an underground test of an atomic bomb the size of the ones dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and test launched medium range ballistic missiles stirring regional tensions.
Should North Korea go back to war with South Korea, a major phase of "violent" convergence between East and West will be underway. That a new Korean conflict, potentially involving nuclear weapons, may be in the works is suggested by concerns of Russian officials:
In Moscow, news agencies quoted an official as saying that Russia is taking precautionary security measures because it fears tensions over the test could lead to nuclear war. (Reuters)
Russian intelligence agencies received task to thoroughly monitor developments in Korean peninsula
Russia has revealed an unprecedented level of concern over Pyongyang's increasing belligerence and is taking security measures as a precaution against the possibility that tension over North Korea could escalate into nuclear war, The Moscow Times reports, referring to unidentified officials. Sensitive political decisions taken by Moscow are traditionally revealed by anonymous officials through Russian news agencies.
A security source told news agency Interfax that the standoff triggered by Pyongyang's recent nuclear test could affect the security of Russia's far eastern regions, which border North Korea. "The need has emerged for an appropriate package of precautionary measures," the paper cites the unidentified source. "We are not talking about stepping up military efforts but rather about measures in case a military conflict, perhaps with the use of nuclear weapons, flares up on the Korean peninsula." The official did not elaborate further, The Moscow Times notes.
Radio Ekho Moskvy reported earlier this week that Russian intelligence agencies had received task to thoroughly monitor developments in the Korean peninsula and to report immediately on changes of situation. (Axis News)
All said and done, the megolamaniacal totalitarian regimes in Moscow and Beijing continue to tailor world history toward an apocalyptic world war with great success because the West is wholly deluded and unaware of the secret war plan unfolding.
As long as people fail to think for themselves and no one calls these evildoers to account for their occultic machinations against humanity, then the free world ultimately will be subject to the fate of the North Korean people:
The Soviets never start a war. By definition, the United States or, more generally speaking, "imperialism is the source of all antagonistic conflicts of the present day world, the source of war danger." [General Major A.S. Milovidov, quoted in Soviet Strategy For Nuclear War, p.98]
Speaking of the surprise unleashing of a nuclear war, the following should be noted. Recently the command element of the U.S. army, evidently, does not exclude the possibility of opening military operations even in the main theaters with the use of just conventional means of destruction. Such a beginning of war can create favorable conditions for the movement of all nuclear forces to the regions of combat operations, bringing them into the highest level of combat readiness, and subsequently inflicting the first nuclear strike with the employment in it of the maximum number of missile launch sites, submarines and aircraft at the most favorable moment.
One of the advantages the Soviets see of the conventional phase is the possibility that it provides cover to operations to initiate a nuclear attack, preparations that might otherwise be detected and provide warning. The notion of striking at "the most favorable moment" included in this quote is often encountered in Soviet military literature, especially in regard to surprise attack. [From Soviet Strategy For Nuclear War, p.103]
"We believe that the main determinant in the attack is the most decisive operation possible, having for its purpose the total destruction of the enemy's armed forces, and particularly the destruction of his nuclear weapons; that is, the achievement of results such that he would no longer be capable of offering further resistance within the limits of missions being carried out, or which would be needed for general capitulation. In the past this aim was possible of achievement only with the successive forward movement of land forces (or the enemy) to close with the enemy and to destroy his firepower. In the modern attack, when the mission of destruction can be accomplished by nuclear strikes, made at any depth, practically speaking, forward movement becomes a secondary item. It is not even necessary in certain cases. The situation can arise, for example, when the enemy, as a result of the massive nuclear strikes inflicted upon him, such strikes being the main part of the attack, capitulates and peace-loving forces accede to political power in his country..." [Lt. Gen. G. Lobov, as quoted in Soviet Strategy For Nuclear War, p.26]
"In view of the immense destructive force of nuclear weapons and the extremely limited time available to take effective counter-measures after an enemy launches its missiles, the launching of the first massed nuclear attack acquires decisive importance for achieving the objectives of war." [K. Moskalenko, Marshal of the Soviet Union, as quoted in Soviet Strategy For Nuclear War, p.36]
"Today's weapons make it possible to achieve strategic objectives very quickly. The very first nuclear attack on the enemy may inflict such immense casualties and produce such vast destruction that his economic, moral-political and military capabilities will collapse, making it impossible for him to continue to struggle, and presenting him with the fact of defeat." [Colonel M.P. Skirdo, as quoted in Soviet Strategy For Nuclear War, p.17]
"There is profound error and harm in the disoriented claims of bourgeois ideologues that there will be no victor in a thermonuclear war." [A.S. Milovidov, Russian Military Theorist, as quoted in Soviet Strategy For Nuclear War, p.10]

The very first nuclear attack on the enemy may inflict such immense casualties and produce such vast destruction that his economic, moral-political and military caabilities will collapse, making it impossible for him to continue to struggle, and presenting him with the fact of defeat." - Colonel M.P. Skirdo, quoted in Soviet Strategy For Nuclear War
