"But did they really think this through? It seems a bit short-sighted. We have nuclear weapons to fight such a war, but so do the Russians. Neither side would win. "
Yes, the cabal thought this through. THE PLAN was to draw Russia into WW3 and have Russia completely destroy the U.S. with nuclear weapons (every major city). The plan was the death of 280,000,000 people in the U.S., probably mostly due to starvation after nuclear war. Oddly, the cabal plan was to destroy the U.S. but not Russia.
