U.S. ARMY CHIEF THREATENS WAR WITH RUSSIA

Call up papers on the way Рональд...

Watch the post..

Cheers MMH

Hillary enthusiastic about going to war with Russia

Surely it is Russia who is sabre-rattling but the audience is not the United States, who can destroy Russia several times before breakfast. Rather, it is the ex-Soviet republics, and the domestic audience -- the Russian population who need to be distracted from the worsening economy.

Our economy will collapse before Russia.

how war with Russia

I do not think Putin is bluffing......there needs to be great care here

A war with Russia would be utterly ridiculous....

We need somebody to solve this?

Ron

Mt suggestion is to withdraw all US and Russian planes from this area.

They were supposed to be attacking ISIS anyway, nobody else

The war continues between Assad and the Rebels, unless they can come to a permanent truce, divide Syria?

People are saying that's exactly what the US want , so you wouldn't be surprised
to see attacks?

I don't think id fancy being the guinea pig to go up to see if Russia follows the
warning through though!

Kerry is heard telling the Syrian attendees, referring to internal deliberations within the administration of President Barack Obama that followed Assad's use of chemical weapons in 2013.

There is great doubt as to who used those Chemical weapons, it could have been Assad, it could have been the rebels, nobody knows?



"We don't behave like Russians. It's just a different standard," Kerry said.

Exactly who lied over Saddam having WMD's?...it was the US not Russia.

I think most of the problems have been caused by the US and West interference in the Middle East since the first Gulf War.

All Putin is doing is copying us. It is in Russia's interest to keep Assad in power.

None this is particularly edifying.


There are more Sunni Muslims in Syria than Shia so of course Kerry calls for democracy.

Assad knows this and won't allow it

My suggestion remains a permanent truce, to divide Syria. Seems to me the only practical option.

Very good point nailed on

The next World War will be like Space Invaders. Folk in Moscow and Pentagon pressing buttons. We`ll all be fried. Only survivor will be Charlton Heston.

Good post Bodil. You are spot on.

Listen up, if we go to war remember to take a pack of smokes with you, no cash out on the battlefield lads

Putin has today cancelled a visit to France and he has called on the families of all overseas Russian workers to return home

yes icky says "the new world order"(the witch included) want a ww3 to reduced the population and then take over whats left,mmm we are not included

good news.

I thought the same TT I just pray things can be sorted because if Clinton gets in God help us.

Agreement at last BB
...Yes I fear if Clinton gets in...1.19 at moment on here

Russia's GDP is down to 2 trillion. The US controls world oil now. There isn't much Russia or the entire Middle East can do about anything other than go completely broke. Russia doesn't have the money for war and they aren't going to use nukes.

These are energy exporter nations that had their markets taken our from under them by US shale oil and global economics. The US now has 4 times more oil than Saudi Arabia and has matches their production, we can easily scale up from here also.

Putin is desperately trying to influence the US election because realistically Russia is too poor to do much else. He was a idiot to move into Ukarine and Syria. All that did it create a legit reason to sanction Russia, break up eastern oil markets and give the US the perfect opportunity to become a major oil exporter. We probably won't bother since selling oil cheap makes no sense :) only idiots would sell oil cheap and then create a shortage of it in their own nations.. only realize the world largest oil consumer happened to have the worlds largest oil reserves in shale. We got the lions share of cheap oil for any one nation AND then we realize through technology and geology that we have 1-4 trillion barrels of oil RIGHT here.

Beside need some minor job recovery the US is in the strongest position it has ever been due to these new reserves. We can ignore foreign oil entirely if we want OR we can flood the markets with oil and perhaps become the main supplier of Europe. We could even build a gas pipline there if we want. Russia was extremely foolish to give the US this opportunity right as the US went into full swing in hydro fracking output.

We both have more than enough nukes to destroy the world still, so their threats are nothing new. They are the ones who have no idea how to get their economy back and I'd say they are the US mercy when it comes to oil prices.  The US could supply Europe from one side, China from the other and Africa and South America. Russia does not have good access to the world. China will ultimately stay loyal to Europe and America because that's where the money  and technology is.

Russia needs to get rid of Putin and move on to a more level headed leader. Putin has run his course and it's time for fresh leadership. Their GDP at 2 trillion is below many nations we don't think of as world powers. For all that land Russia sure has always had a crap economy, it's too bad, they are a smart people with a huge landmass full of resources. War is the LAST thing they should want or need.

Like China and the Middle East the easy way to get your GDP up is to let American corporations come in and teach you how to properly exploit resources and build infrastructure.  They had plenty of time now to make some big moves since the fall of the USSR and they've done very little with a lot of potential. They've kept pace with US growth at a much lower scale of course, but they are in essence a developing nation and their growth should be several times higher than the US, like China's growth has been, but of course not that good.

You seem to have no idea what a Nuclear War would be like either Hamsterdam.

Probably an important word to add bg!
