Com pouco alarde na mídia dos EUA, o presidente Obama e sua equipe de falcões de guerra cortaram relações diplomáticas com a Rússia, e em vez disso estão manobrando de forma agressiva em direção a um pé de guerra total.
O confronto de objetivos na Síria - ou seja, as diferenças fundamentais em sua posição sobre Assad permanecer no poder, bem como as causas subjacentes que levaram à tensão, alimentou a ascensão do ISIS e coloca as potências mundiais umas contra as outras - estão atraindo cada vez mais o mundo em uma posição perigosa.
Presidente Putin, bem como seus ministros, deixaram claro que se os EUA atingem forças sírias ou tentativas de derrubar diretamente Assad, também está cutucando para a guerra mundial - e que poderá significar a mais grave ameaça para a civilização ocidental desde a Guerra Fria . Porque os líderes aparentemente americanos simplesmente não conseguem resistir a não intervir nos assuntos do Oriente Médio.
A Rússia está em alerta máximo, e seus jornais recentemente repetindo as advertências de sua liderança:
"Basta imaginar que os EUA fazem o que eles querem fazer por um longo tempo e ataque contra Assad, não por engano, mas de propósito e abertamente.
"Se a Rússia defender seu aliado ou considerar atacar contra os americanos, mas isso vai certamente levar a uma Terceira Guerra Mundial.
• Enquanto os americanos estão com medo liderados por patetas assustadores, os russos estão a realizar exercícios para dezenas de milhões de pessoas que tomam o abrigo de uma guerra nuclear.
• Enquanto Hillary Clinton tenta convencer os americanos a voltar a dormir e ignorar seus e-mails, seus muitos negócios corruptos e violações de segurança, os adversários estrangeiros - incluindo Rússia e China - estão envolvidos na guerra cibernética, enquanto alguns dissidentes também estão tentando expor Hillary e outros líderes.
• Enquanto os diplomatas norte-americanos estão secretamente armando ISIS, al Nusra e o que resta do "moderado Exército Sírio Livre", e conspirações para derrubar Assad através de grupos de fora e pressão da opinião pública nos meios de comunicação, a Rússia está flexionando sua próxima geração de dispositivos de guerra eletrônica, equipamento de empastelamento, cloaking dispositivos e demonstrando a sua capacidade sofisticada para controlar e manter o espaço aéreo.
A próxima geração de Armas eletromagnéticas da Rússia
The future of war is increasingly intertwined with major threats, focal flashpoints and communications-based electronic warfare.
To give just one prominent example, the threat from an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) could shut down the grid, kill millions of people in the aftermath and bring an enemy population to its knees overnight.
With these new threats in mind, the U.S. military and armed services are preparing quietly but steadily for a war that could become inevitable, though no one wants to admit it.
Solicitation notices on FedBizOpps.gov reveals that there is considerable effort going into upgrading, fortifying and securing communications technology– particularly for SSBNs, one of the most important pieces on the chess board.
Nuclear submarines must be in constant communication around the world, in any waters, and be able to avoid detection. However, compromised communications could cutoff communications or render subs ineffective when they are needed most.
Very Low Frequency and ELF wavelengths are used to cover the long distances, but are also subject to interception and manipulation. These electromagnetic signals require powerful equipment and can have negative biological effects on human operators, as well as populations of human and animal life. VLF and ELF electromagnetic weapons are very potent when in capable hands, and quite dangerous in the face of an oblivious and naive population.
Time to upgrade the electromagnetic communications devices that could make or break the outcome of a nuclear war.
A solicitation from the Department of the Navy is seeking to upgrade and repair obsolete equipment with the latest in technology – particularly with respect to Strategic Submarine Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) and Strategic Submarine Nuclear (SSN) submarines:
Space and Naval Warfare System Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) Atlantic has a requirement to provide professional engineering services in support of the Fixed Very Low Frequency/Low Frequency (FVLF/LF) transmitter and antenna systems. The contractor will be required to provide engineering services on an on call basis to conduct analysis and to identify/implement solutions for the FVLF/LF transmitter and antenna system problems created by design deficiencies, equipment obsolesce or technical changes which have resulted in a degraded reliability or in less than optimum performance.The FVLF/LF transmitting stations provide the primary broadcast communications link for the command and control of Strategic Submarine Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) and Strategic Submarine Nuclear (SSN) submarines making it part of the Nuclear Command and Control Communications (NC3) architecture. Those stations were designed and constructed at various times over the past six decades. Consequently, each is unique and all are subject to problems peculiar to particular stations requiring the employment of consultants well versed in highly specialized areas of FVLF/LF transmitter, antenna, and antenna network theoretical and applications engineering. Timely solution to problems as they develop is necessary to ensure reliable communications to fleet commanders in command and control of submarines.
Additionally, the Navy has current bids for maintenance and repair of Trident II missile guidance and navigation systems, on board safety systems and installations and upgraded security technologies for SSBN submarines – which play a significant role in both deterrence and provocation.
These are crucial factors, particularly in the context of sophisticated, technologically-driven warfare.
Again, the proposal hints strongly at the known and unknown vulnerabilities of submarines in being detected and communicating covertly. SSBN security technology is critical:
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Undersea Influence, Counter-USW Branch (N974B) of the Chief of Naval Operations’ (CNO) Undersea Warfare Division (N97) are interested in receiving proposals focused on the identification of science and physics based signal detection technologies that, individually or as a system, can impact the security of the SSBN and submarines in general. Passive and active detection technologies with near term (0-5 years), mid-term (5-10 years) and far term (10-20 years) implications will be considered.[T]he SSBN Security Technology Program (SSTP) may entertain proposals focused on improving the understanding of the generation, radiation, propagation, scatter, and detection of a variety of signal types(acoustic, chemical, optical, electromagnetic, hydrodynamic and radiological) associated with a submarine’s operation.
It looks like the old fleet is getting dusted off, fixed up or making way for new and better models, ready for war – if the need arises.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that.
