Putin: US / NATO is irreversibly pushing the world towards nuclear war

RI website https://www.russia-insider.com/en Translation Inessa S https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeix8jbmQnS6FprsJIsjVyQ Russian President Vladimir Putin is talking to the journalists from world news agencies, finishing the second day (17th June) of Russia’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). If the current situation continues, the outcome could be a devastating nuclear conflict. Washington poured five billion dollars into Ukraine with the aim of eventually instigating a coup on Russia’s doorstep. Washington and NATO are supporting proxy forces on the ground to kill and drive out those who are demanding autonomy from the US puppet regime in Kiev. Hundreds of thousands have fled across the border into Russia.Yet it is Washington that accuses Moscow of invading Ukraine, of having had a hand in the downing of a commercial airliner and of ‘invading’ Ukraine based on no evidence at all – trial by media courtesy of Washington’s PR machine. As a result of this Russian ‘aggression’, Washington slapped sanctions on Moscow. The ultimate aim is to de-link Europe’s economy from Russia and weaken Russia’s energy dependent economy by denying it export markets. The ultimate aim is to also ensure Europe remains integrated with/dependent on Washington, not least via the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and in the long term via US gas and Middle East oil (sold in dollars, thereby boosting the strength of the currency upon which US global hegemony rests).The mainstream corporate media in the West parrots the accusations against Moscow as fact, despite Washington having cooked up evidence or invented baseless pretexts. As with Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and other ‘interventions’ that have left a trail of death and devastation in their wake, the Western corporate media’s role is to act as cheerleader for official policies and US-led wars of terror.The reality is that the US has around 800 military bases in over 100 countries and military personnel in almost 150 countries. US spending on its military dwarfs what the rest of the world spends together. It outspends China by a ratio of 6:1.What does the corporate media say about this? That the US is a ‘force for good’ and constitutes the ‘world’s policeman’ – not a calculating empire underpinned by militarism.By the 1980s, Washington’s wars, death squads and covert operations were responsible for six million deaths in the ‘developing’ world. An updated figure suggests that figure is closer to ten million.Breaking previous agreements made with Russia/the USSR, over the past two decades the US and NATO has moved into Eastern Europe and continues to encircle Russia and install missile systems aimed at it. It has also surrounded Iran with military bases. It is destabilising Pakistan and ‘intervening’ in countries across Africa to weaken Chinese trade and investment links and influence. It intends to eventually militarily ‘pivot’ towards Asia to encircle China. Washington’s game plan for Russia is to destroy is as a functioning state or to permanently weaken it so it submits to US hegemony. While the mainstream media in the West set out to revive the Cold War mentality and demonise Russia, Washington believes it can actually win a nuclear conflict with Russia. It no longer regards nuclear weapons as a last resort but part of a conventional theatre of war and is willing to use them for pre-emptive strikes.Washington is accusing Russia of violating Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty, while the US has its military, mercenary and intelligence personnel inside Ukraine. It is moreover putting troops in Poland, engaging in ‘war games’ close to Russia and has pushed through a ‘Russian anti-aggression’ act that portrays Russia as an aggressor in order to give Ukraine de facto membership of NATO and thus full military support, advice and assistance.Washington presses ahead regardless as Russia begins to undermine dollar hegemony by trading oil and gas and goods in rubles and other currencies. And history shows that whenever a country threatens the dollar, the US does not idly stand by.Unfortunately, most members of the Western public believe the lies being fed to them. This results from the corporate media amounting to little more than an extension of Washington’s propaganda arm. The PNAC, under the pretext of some bogus ‘war on terror’, is partly built on gullible, easily led public opinion, which is fanned by emotive outbursts from politicians and the media. We have a Pavlov’s dog public and media, which respond on cue to the moralistic bleating of politicians who rely on the public’s ignorance to facilitate war and conflict. If Putin is reacting in a certain way, it is worth wondering what the US response would be if Russia had put its missiles in Canada near the US border, had destabilised Mexico and was talking of putting missiles there too. To top it off, imagine if Russia were applying sanctions on the US for all of this ‘aggression’.

Putin is a liar, the only reason defenses missiles are positioned in NATO states is to ensure a defense against Russian aggression. Putin is frustrated because he knows that if he attacks a NATO allie he attacks all. Nobody is going to attack Russia and Putin knows that, unless of course Putin attacks a NATO allie. Putin keeps going on and on about western aggression against Russia which is bullshit. All this aggression comes directly from Putin, ever since he stole power by rigging the elections he has done nothing but bitch and moan about the USA and their western allies. I believe Putin is looking for a reason for war and he is trying to convince his people that it's the western powers that want war when really it's him. Putin said he has enough power to defend Russia from any power, well the man is dreaming if he thinks he can take on the western powers and win. Somebody in Russia needs to get rid of that war mongering anti Democracy Commie asshole, and then we will have peace.

I hope and pray that Donald Trump can stop the stupidness of the US government Obama is evil to the core, I love the good America people and the good Russian people let there be peace in this world stop obamas government trying to take over the world there nothing but war mongers and the world sees it.

I don't like Putin or his regime, but as an American I have no quarrel with the Russian people. It amazes me that people seem more afraid of Trump befriending Russia because he sees business opportunities than of Hillary's beating of the nuclear war drums.

-
I used to think we (Americans) shouldnt trust Russians. I have since changed my opinion. Hillary has opened my eyes to just how corrupt our own government can be.

Today, we're on the brink of a nuclear war because of these animals. It's a real shame this ape actually is in power in Russia, and it's also very shameful that, for 300 years, the slavic peoples of Russia have always remained a backwater, subhuman group f cultural savages, incapable of being civilized. Let there be a holocaust that ends them, permanently. Shame the Germans didn't finish the job in 1942.
-
oh yea. don't nato ships and planes have to have a nato inspector ? the inspector makes sure there's no way any unauthorized weapons or systems are employed and that nothing has been tampered with or altered.. (even though they cant be easily altered.

Who's bullshitting who, here? Does he honesty think that by manufacturing a fake "crisis" that people will forget his antics Crimea/Ukraine? "American buildup of nuclear weapons". Jesus, he sounds like Orwell's 1984 with its "War in the east" and "War in the west". Stone age, cold-war bullshit. Fucking communist cunt.
