War, War, War See other War, War, War Articles Title: No Prospect of World War - The US Is Bluffing RI... A direct US-Russian confrontation is impossible, but there are fears of incidents in third countries, states an influential Russian daily newspaper The Pentagon called war between Russia and the USA a hypothetic scenario, according to its spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Baldanza speaking to Izvestia. But American and Russian experts queried by Izvestia are certain that despite the generals’ prognosis, real armed conflict between the two nuclear powers is possible. American political expert and senior fellow at New York University and former Senior Advisor to the US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Barnett Rubin, told Izvestia that generals do not push for war between Russia and the USA, but they plan for the unexpected. “The main thing they said is that if there was a new world war, it would be devastating beyond imagination. That’s why the only solution is that Russia and the USA cooperate to solve problems” — Rubin said. Discussions of war between the USA and Russia began after American generals spoke at a Pentagon meeting on October 4, saying that war would be “quick and lethal”. Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley said that armed conflict between Washington and Moscow was “almost guaranteed”. Moreover, Major General William Hicks said war would begin “in the very near future”, and the Pentagon has begun to prepare for combat on a scale that the US has not seen since the Korean War. Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Joseph Anderson, pointed out that “modern nation states behaving aggressively in the context of military rivalry” are a real threat to US security. “What does this remind us of? Russia”, - Anderson replied to his own question. Russian military in turn, do not give credence to the statements by American generals. For example, according to Colonel General President of the Academy of Geopolitical Issues, Leonid Ivashov, the Pentagon is bluffing, trying to intimidate Russia. “The US understands that in the event of war, it would not escape strikes on its territory. The Pentagon says one thing, the State Department – another. One thing is clear: this statement was made to intimidate Russia and stall action in Syria,” he said to Izvestia. State Duma Deputy Victor Vodolatsky confirmed to Izvestia that it was very hard to imagine a direct confrontation between Russia and the USA, and that it was a personal opinion of some generals that world war was inevitable. Contradictions between Moscow and Washington are experienced most intensely in Syria, and a direct confrontation is most probable there. Senior Fellow of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut and political analyst Yazid Sayegh, analyzing the situation in Syria, told Izvestia that there was no prospect of real war between the US and Russia. “By its actions in Syria, the US showed that it did not want a direct military conflict with Russia, and Moscow is not interested in a “hot war” against Washington either. Only an indirect confrontation through allies in Syria is likely,” — he said. American political analyst and Senior Advisor at Gulf State Analytics, Theodor Karasik told Izvestia that the statements of a few American generals were the opinions of “hot heads” of the Cold-War generation. “They are still convinced that world war is inevitable, failing to understand that we have been living in a completely different geopolitical reality. There is a high probability of confrontation between America’s new fifth generation fighters and the Russian S-300 missile systems in Syria, but world war is unlikely. Escalation between Russia and the US would further destabilize not only the Middle East but also Eastern Europe and the Arctic Region,” — the American expert said. Richard Weitz, Director of the Center for Political-Military Analysis at the Hudson Institute told Izvestia that a direct US-Russian war is almost impossible because the future of the whole world would be at stake. “Washington does not consider this scenario a realistic one, although accidents could lead to the death of Russian and American soldiers, as happened with the Russian plane shot down by Turkey last year. General Milley said that the nature of war had changed, starting with rapid decision-making and ending with destruction. That is why the army is preparing for “probable” wars, exercising for possible confrontations with equal rivals like Russia and China, as well as the fight against terrorism and other military operations. We will face the most serious threat if terrorists, who can seize nuclear weapons, attack these countries. Terrorists can carry out this type of operation making it look as though certain countries are behind them. Moscow and Washington traditionally cooperate to combat this kind of threat. Despite recent quarrels over plutonium and an agreement on nuclear research, I still hope that cooperation will be resumed,” - Weitz concluded. Originally appeared at Izvestia - Russian daily news. Translated by Julia Rakhmetova Poster Comment: TONY LANE • America only wants a world war when the odds are heavily in their favour, when they saw that Putin is prepared to put as many of his people as possible to safety by the many millions, it showed two things, First he is prepared, and secondly he cares about his people, even the Bad Asses in America know that their people cannot do any such thing, because the only people who will get a safe haven in the USA will be the ROTHSCHILDS DUNG BEETTLE MAFIA ELITE FAMILIES, so what does this tell you about the USA, the answer is that they don't give a F---K about their people or anybody else. and the reason they chickened out is because wherever the ROTHSCHILD MAFIA Hides, they will be the First places that PUTIN WILL TARGET with Nuclear Missiles, yes that's right because PUTIN knows that these Creature's got it all their own way in the Second World War, his family and parents were on the receiving end at that time, it is a long time coming for these creature's to get the just desserts. +7 Jihad in Manhattan Thank you Tony! Finally someone understands that the real source of this conflict between Russia & the U.S. are the Rothschild bankers, who do not tolerate competition and who, I believe, are willing to sacrifice billions of people in order to prevent something like BRICS from challenging their criminal enterprise. This coincides with their other priority: massive depopulation because the "world cannot sustain so many people". I hope that "no doomstead anywhere is safe", that Russia has bunker busting bombs capable of finding the Rothschilds, who will be at least 1 mile below ground, and who will be using billions of innocent civilians as human shields. Jihad in Manhattan telemetrie • I like Putin! The fact that he cares for his people is proven by his providing nuclear shelter for at least 40 million of them. If only I lived in Russia I might have hope, for I have only recently come to realize that the leaders of my country are corrupt and evil to the core: they do not give a shit about me, my family, or any other normal American. My "leaders" only care about doing the Rothschild's bidding and thereby ensuring their reelection. Tatarewicz /Jihad in Manhattan • Since it's the Rothschilds, who through the fund raising and organizational efforts of the Israeli lobby, make sure that the 500+ members of Congress get elected these law and policy makers have no option but to do Rothschild's/Israel's bidding. Only when voters realize there's more to politics than marking an "X" on a ballot then we, like the Swiss, will be getting somewhere. • Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
