US ignites crisis on Korean peninsula to besiege China: Mike Billington

I have copied this article from PressTV and I hope the article is circulated to the whole world to inform the innocence of the treacherous intents of the Americans and how they are pushing the world to a nuclear holocaust. It is the Americans that are behind this crisis and they must be held solely responsible should a nuclear war erupt.

An analyst says severe US provocation against North Korea as a pretext for military buildup to surround China has brought the threat of nuclear war worldwide.
 
In the background of this Russian President Putin has called for calm and a political resolution to Korea and said that a blowout of the Korean conflict could result in a catastrophe that would make Chernobyl (1986) nuclear accident, seem like a child’s fairytale. North Korea, in response to the severe US provocations of ongoing military drills with South Korea and even flying US nuclear bombers over the Korean peninsula and the US reinstalling its chemical weapons battalion into South Korea, has threatened to use nukes against the US.

Press TV has interviewed Mike Billington, Executive Intelligence Review in Washington about this issue. The following is an approximate transcription of the interview.

Press TV: The major question everybody is asking right now is how serious that threat of nuclear or even of a military attack launched on South Korea has actually become?

Billington: I don’t think there is any danger of a nuclear war sparked by North Korea’s nuclear attack.
I think there’s a great danger of a nuclear war sparked between the United States and China and the United States and Russia over either the Syrian and Iranian situation in the Middle East or over Korea in Asia.



What I would like to point out actually is that there has been a concerted effort in the Western press including the New York Times today to falsify the warning coming from China about the danger of war in Asia.

Xi Jinping, the new head of China, in a forum yesterday said no country should have the right to create a regional of even global crisis for their own self-interests, their own selfish interests.

That was recorded in the New York Times this morning adding falsely the words in front of that speech that no ‘Asian country’ should have the right to do that.

And of course the Chinese have repeatedly said that while North Korea is in fact taking provocative measures that should be stopped, that the US provocations are even more severe in defense that they’re sending nuclear bombers over Korea; nuclear-armed submarines and ABM systems all of which are seen correctly as the surrounding of China, not just the surrounding of North Korea who is potentially going to do a provocation, but if it is it’s going to be of the sort they’ve done in the past.

General Dempsey, the head of our Joint Chiefs of Staff here and who is a sane mind here in the US countering the Obama and British build up for war was asked if he thought there would be a provocation from North Korea and he said, “I don’t believe so, but we would be foolish not to prepare for it”. So we are taking certain measures.

But he himself is going to China and going to Russia in an effort to counter the build up coming from the United States, which is indeed bringing the threat of nuclear war worldwide very, very close and it’s extremely dangerous.
