- Financial Warfare Against Russia Escalates Drive for General War!

Open statements of economic warfare against Russia by top British and American officials have confirmed once again the recent charges by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that the sanctions against Russia and other measures of financial and economic warfare are part of a regime-change agenda coming from the West. Some Russian oligarchs are clearly playing into the British scenario by engaging in hyper-speculation against the ruble and flight capital.

Lavrov had an interview yesterday with France 24 TV and was direct and explicit about how his government is viewing the sanctions:

Q: So you’re not afraid that we could see an economic meltdown in Russia?
Sergey Lavrov: Never. Economic meltdown could happen to a small country. It can happen even to a big country like Ukraine, and it’s basically almost there. Russia is doing whatever we can to help resolve the crisis in Ukraine–not to please the West, not to ask for sanctions relief, but because we are seriously concerned. Contrary to what the Europeans feel, we are seriously concerned about the future of Ukraine and Ukrainian economy. Actually, speaking of sanctions and, you know, that this is a sign of irritation, not an instrument of serious policies.

The latest portion of sanctions which was voted in the European Union last September was introduced the next day after the Minsk protocol was signed. This is a very interesting logic, you know, to stimulate the political process. So the next morning after the huge achievement was reached, which was praised by everyone, the gentleman, what was his name, Van Rompuy, declared that there was a new portion of sanctions being introduced in Russia. If this is the European choice, if this is what Europe has as a reaction to something positive, then I once again can only say that we hugely overestimated European independence in foreign policy.

Q: Are sanctions, as some people are thinking, a way of trying to create a regime change in Russia?
Sergey Lavrov: I have very serious reasons to believe that this is the case.
