Die wertewestlichen Warlords sehen das bekanntlich anders. Um einen "postwar world order compatible with Western values" herbeizubomben, würden diese die atomare Apokalypse starten. Die NATO-Expansion und -Aufrüstung(u.a. auch der illegalen Atomwaffen in der BRD) dient wie das ABM-System(RAND: "not simply a shield but an enabler of U.S. action") der Vorbereitung eines nuklearen Erstschlags gegen Russland. Die Zahl der toten Nicht-US-Amerikaner spielen bei den US-Kriegsplänen keinerlei Rolle. In den 80ern haben sich die europäischen US-Vasallen noch daran gestört. Heutzutage offenbar nicht mehr.
Ted Postol, ehemaliger Berater des US-"Verteidigungs"-ministers,
warnt vor US-Kriegsplänen, "konventionellen" Krieg mit Atomwaffen zu führen:

Hier gibt es eine Simulation davon:
"It is estimated that there would be more than 90 million people dead and injured within the first few hours of the conflict."

Dabei geht es wie bei allen US-Völkermorden um die Durchsetzung westlicher Werte:
"Victory is Possible
by Colin S. Gray and Keith Payne
...
The United States should plan to defeat the Soviet Union and to do so at a cost that would not prohibit U.S. recovery. Washington should identify war aims that in the last resort would contemplate the destruction of Soviet political authority and the emergence of a postwar world order compatible with Western values."

"The Rise of U.S. Nuclear Primacy
...
If the United States launched a nuclear attack against Russia (or China), the targeted country would be left with a tiny surviving arsenal -- if any at all. At that point, even a relatively modest or inefficient missile-defense system might well be enough to protect against any retaliatory strikes, because the devastated enemy would have so few warheads and decoys left."
