President Putin told his favourite Russian rag LIFENEWS, that
Russia “poses no threat to anyone,” and would “resist efforts to draw it into
geopolitical intrigue.” Hah! That’s a Putin joke—right?
Now that’s also a might peculiar—bearing in mind that Putin
does nothing BUT threaten his neighbours. Is this a change of mind? Does he
mean that he’s going to withdraw his Russian troops from Moldova’s Transnistria,
and from Georgian Abkhazia, and Georgian South Ossetia, and Ukrainian Crimea
and from Eastern Ukraine altogether. Otherwise the statement makes no sense in
a rational world. If he doesn’t, it simply means Putin is drivelling vile mendacity
once more. It must also presuppose he stops sending subs into Swedish waters,
returns the kidnapped Estonian agent, stops threatening Lithuania and Latvia? Maybe
he’ll also cease funding the neo-Nazi parties in the European Union in an
underhanded threat to European democracy?
What about threatening Belarus with
an economic boycott if they didn’t sell all their gas pipeline network to Gazprom—wait
on, that’s a done thing isn’t it. Lukashenka caved in, and as a result, there’s
now a Russian Airforce squadron in Baranovichi, and Russia’s built another
Russian controlled base in Babruysk, with another to follow in Lida. Russian airbases are to follow in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, and any other country stupid enough to allow it, all in a sick effort to revive the Russian Empire and its
pathetic ambitions of domination. That's Putin's Russian Empire!
Putin only admitted later his ‘little green men’ were
actually Russian troops after the annexation of Crimea, having previously
denied their presence in Crimea altogether. So NO threat there?
Not surprising then, that France has stopped the outrageous Mistral
helicopter carrier sale, since both ships were likely to head for Mariupol to
invade Eastern Ukraine so that Putin could have his land-bridge to Crimea.
It’s clear that nobody really takes Putin’s drivel seriously—not
coming from the mouth of a KGB thug. Remember Katyń? That’s the work of
NKVD/KGB and his pals.
Come on, Western Media, you’re being played for a sucker by
the Kremlin—wake up!
