Nuclear Russia
on inevitable war, Putin calls US late on terrorism
(Examiner.com) --- Is World War 3 truly something the
US should be
preparing for this 2014? Vladimir Putin, the leader of
Russia, has been vocal this week in a new speech
stating that the
US
is to blame for the chaos currently erupting across the world, and that global
war is “inevitable” as a result. The Inquisitr also reports this Sunday, November
2, 2014, that Putin is saying it is not a nuclear Russia that Americans should
be fearing, but Islamic radicals — and that the US is late on waking up to
international terrorism.
In a proclamation that some are calling a precursor to World War 3 and
Vladimir Putin’s most direct statement ever toward the West, Russia is clearly
ready to stop the alleged “games” with the US nation. While speaking publicly
at the Valdai Conference earlier this week in
Sochi, Putin touched upon a variety of
matters, most of which argue that American imperialism is to blame for current
strife.
“
Russia
will no longer play games with the United States and engage in back-room
negotiations. Russia is prepared for serious agreements, but only if these
agreements are conducive to collective security … Russia has no intention of
building an empire of their own, but will not go fishing in the murky waters
created by America’s ever-expanding “empire of chaos," said Putin.
Putin went on to say that although a nuclear
Russia
has no personal aims to establish a powerful empire, they will not allow
themselves to be dominated by the
US, either. Perhaps one of the
harshest claims Putin makes is that he believes another global war — World War
3 — will be nearly “inevitable” in the future. The leader asserts that
Russia will be
ready if and when that momentous time comes.
“
Russia
does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention
of starting one. However, today
Russia
sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and
is continuing to prepare for it.
Russia does not war, nor does she
fear it… But those who manage to drag
Russia into this process, through
disregard for her interests, will be taught the true meaning of pain."
As posted by Common Sense News this week, Vladimir Putin is beginning to
lose some support in
Russia,
as some view the political figure as prompting a “war party” leading to a
possible World War 3 among the people. Yet while some activists see Putin and
the nuclear powers of
Russia
as a greater threat than the extremists within the Islamic state, the foreign
leader obviously thinks otherwise. He states that the true threats are these
radicals, and that the
US
is heavily at fault for taking steps following the Cold War that “threw the
system into sharp and deep imbalance.”
“A unilateral diktat and imposing one’s own models produces the opposite
result. Instead of settling conflicts it leads to their escalation, instead of
sovereign and stable states we see the growing spread of chaos, and instead of
democracy there is support for a very dubious public ranging from open
neo-fascists to Islamic radicals.”
The Russian leader also called the
US
nation and its government out for not waking up to the issues of terrorism,
particularly that of the Taliban and al Qaeda, until the day 9/11 devastated
America.
Vladimir Putin noted that it wasn’t until
America was hit home did it finally
take a stance against this looming threat. He finally alleged that these
terrorist organizations have been indirectly “sponsored” by
America, encouraging these radical movements to
turn their weapons toward the
Soviet Union
instead.
“Only after horrific terrorist attacks were committed on US soil itself did
the
United States
wake up to the common threat of terrorism. Let me remind you that we were the
first country to support the American people back then, the first to react as
friends and partners to the terrible tragedy of September 11. During my
conversations with American and European leaders, I always spoke of the need to
fight terrorism together, as a challenge on a global scale. We cannot resign
ourselves to and accept this threat, cannot cut it into separate pieces using
double standards.”
A final fear surrounding World War 3 and its prospect this week was Vladimir
Putin nearly launching a “secret” attack against
Denmark this summer 2014. The Epoch
Times shares this week that a “nuclear” prepared
Russia
invaded
Bornholm, a Danish island, several
months ago while it was hosting an annual conference with numerous political
officials and reporters.
According to the Danish Defense Intelligence Service, military jets from
Russia were flying low and heading toward the
Bornholm gathering when they suddenly turned around and
presumably returned. The press release affirmed that few details about the
near-attack were released, but nonetheless called the incident the biggest
military exercise that
Russia
has conducted over Baltic territory in over 20 years. A risk assessment
analysis has also determined that tensions between the US and Russia will
continue to escalate in the coming years, bringing conflict — and a potential
World War 3 — to a head.
“Over the next few years, the situation in eastern Ukraine will highly
likely turn into a new frozen European conflict, and the Ukraine crisis will
continue to strain relations between Russia and the West … Russia has
demonstrated willingness to use military force to prevent non-NATO states in
the post-Soviet space from forming close ties with the West ... Russia will not
risk an open military confrontation with NATO, but there is a risk that the
Soviet nation might initiate intimidating military pressure on especially the
Baltic countries, for instance in connection with a major international crisis
with the West.”
Do you believe World War 3 may be on the horizon, or are Vladimir Putin’s
speeches and statements merely empty words? The Russian leader also sparked
significant debate back in October after subtly threatening both Europe and the
US with its military might, remarking that the country has nuclear powers —
over 5,000 weapons — and the capabilities to use them effectually.
“We hope that our partners will realize the
recklessness of attempts to blackmail Russia, and will remember the risks
that a spat between major nuclear powers means for strategic stability,”
concluded Putin in a statement to a Serbian media outlet.
