Russia Turns Up The Nuclear Rhetoric!

- This piece by the Financial Times incorrectly downplays Medvedev’s warnings of nuclear war. ‘Professor’ Medvedev is not known to be a person who indulges in nuclear Armageddon rhetoric. It is a clear indication that Russian interests are being trampled upon in Syria and Iran. He is saying: “Here is the line in the sand! Cross it and the Russian Bear will bite back!”. Medvedev, the chess player, is making tactical moves and warning US, NATO to back off.
– - NATO and US understand the warning. They will go to plan B. This calls for the Rothschild military fiefdom, Zionist ‘666’ Israel to do the dirty work by starting off the Satanic World War 3, Greater Middle East War! Publicly, and presented in the western MSM, they will act out the scenario that Zionist ‘666’ Israel (the Satanic counterfeit) is misbehaving and acting independently of US-NATO. This is to distance themselves from Zionist ‘666’ Israel when the war starts. The major powers want to fight this war via their proxies: Zionist ‘666’ Israel vs Muslim World. A direct confrontation between US+NATO against Russia+China means nuclear Armageddon. I do not believe they want global nuclear war, at least in the early stages. However, Zionist ‘666’ Israel will very likely employ nuclear weapons in the Greater Middle East War.
– - Rumours are swirling that Saudi Arabia has agreed to accept Russia and China protection and sell oil in other currencies ie. abandoning the USD. I am quite sure the Anglo-American western Illuminati are not blind to this. They will use the Zionist state to destroy Saudi Arabia when they start to abandon the petrodollar. Much of the Persian oil powers will be destroyed in this coming war. Zionist ‘666’ Israel will also be destroyed. China will suffer and so will Europe because of destruction of oil supplies. Russia and America with their large oil reserves, less so! (emphasis mine)

Russia turns up the nuclear rhetoric!
By Charles Clover in Moscow and Geoff Dyer in Chicago, http://www.ft.com/
Before Dmitry Medvedev’s valedictory speech earlier this month, the outgoing president awarded medals to dozens of Russians, including a theatre director, a policewoman and the chairman of the Russian hockey federation. Then, taking the podium in a glittering Kremlin ballroom, Mr Medvedev declared that Russia’s younger generation needed positive role models to inspire them towards “success in literature, art, education, and” – he paused wistfully – “nuclear weapons”.
–
“They may still come in handy,” he said, apropos, seemingly, of nothing. “We’re not going to use them, but let’s still keep them around, because we have a big country, a complex country. We must value it and protect it.”
….
In speech after speech this month, Russian officials have tried to out-Dr Strangelove each other in warning of a potential nuclear conflagration. The rhetoric, which US analysts tend to dismiss as harmless, coincided with the test launch on Wednesday of a new generation of strategic missiles.
–
The nuclear hyperbole seems directed at the US and its allies, who announced at an annual Nato summit in Chicago this week the formal beginning of a much-vaunted anti-ballistic missile system based partly in eastern Europe. This is nominally aimed at Iran but, Russia suspects, intended to neutralise its own beloved nuclear deterrent.
–
If that were to happen, said General Nikolai Makarov, chief of Russia’s general staff, it could lead to an “illusion of security”, which could lead to war. Countries allowing the missile defence shield on their soil, Gen Makarov said, risked a Russian nuclear first strike. “A decision on pre-emptive use of the attack weapons available will be made when the situation worsens,” he breezily told a news conference this month.
…
“For most Russians, nuclear security doesn’t matter. It’s all taking place in a parallel reality, unconnected to mainstream politics,” says Fedor Lukyanov, chief editor of the Moscow-based journal Russia in Global Affairs.
–
But tell that to Russia’s financial markets, which sold off last week when Mr Medvedev engaged in more of the recreational paranoia that has come to be the hallmark of US-Russia relations.
–
Warning the audience of a legal affairs conference in St Petersburg against interference in third-party global conflicts, he said: “At some moment such actions, which undermine sovereignty, can end with a full-fledged regional war, or even, and I don’t want to scare anybody, the use of nuclear weapons.” The stock market promptly dived 3.5 per cent.
–
Talking up the nuclear deterrent is a sure sign the Kremlin is nervous, say analysts. US experts insist that the ballistic missile defence system poses no threat to Russia’s nuclear missiles.
….
Russia, however, is most concerned about the final stage of the Nato project, not due until 2020, which will see the introduction of the SM3 missile interceptor. This would be capable – in theory – of hitting an Iranian intercontinental ballistic missile and, warn Russian analysts, possibly Russian ICBMs as well.
….
The debate about missile defence is therefore, says Mr Rogov, “about technologies on both sides that don’t yet exist, and may never exist”. He adds that the US is “deploying technology against Iranian ICBMs which Iran doesn’t have, while Russia is concerned about similarly non-existent American interceptors”.
