Vladimir Putin Responds To Obama’s “Hostile” Acts: Warns of Nuclear Consequences

[Robbo]

When the leadership of North Korea or Iran suggests a nuclear attack against the United States the threat is usually dismissed as mere posturing by extremist regimes.

But when the President of a global military super power like Russia makes such a threat, then perhaps it’s time to start paying attention.
In an interview with Serbia’s Politika newspaper Vladimir Putin did not mince words about his feelings surrounding the recent sanctions against his country’s economy and monetary system. He believes the actions of Europe and the United States to be hostile acts and he warns that Russia is prepared to go all the way if the hostilities continue.

Here are some of President Putin’s direct quotes:

“How can we talk about de-escalation in Ukraine while the decisions on new sanctions are introduced almost simultaneously with the agreements on the peace process?”
“Together with the sanctions against entire sectors of our economy, this approach can be called nothing but hostile.”
“We hope that our partners will realize the futility of attempts to blackmail Russia and remember what consequences discord between major nuclear powers could bring for strategic stability.”

If we don’t all die from nuclear blasts, radiation, and nuclear winter, it will be because of the humanity and common sense – both of which are missing in Washington – of the President of Russia.
Look around you. The economies and stock markets of Western civilization are in retreat. Stupid and incompetent public authorities have brought Ebola into America. And what is Washington doing? The energies of the Exceptional Government are focused on combating the Islamic State, a creature created by Washington itself, and on demonizing Russia.
Has any country, anywhere on the fact of the earth, at any period of history been so totally misruled as the United States?Americans need to understand that their government is not merely incompetent and immoral, but that it is evil. Washington hides behind moral language but is itself devoid of moral conscience. There is no evil of which Washington is incapable. Those who support Washington support evil.

Could say the same for all governments. I have no doubt that Putin would hit the button if he had to

We've done a lot to demonise Putin and Russia in the Western media. The US still stands as the only country ruthless enough to have used nuclear weapons so far. And don't believe any of the bullshit about it saving millions of lives either. Japan were ready for surrendering well before the bombs were dropped, there was never a chance of a US invasion.

Russia's history is one of nothing but broken promises from the West, especially the US under Truman after WWII. The Russians sacrificed much of their infrastructure and 27 million were killed fighting the Nazis, the US and the the UK combined lost less than 1 million. If it wasn't for the Russians and their heroic efforts against the Nazis, we'd all be living in a very different Europe now. That's how the Cold War started. The US made promises to the USSR which they didn't keep. Then, when the the USSR decided to start protecting her own borders, Truman threatened them on more than one occasion with the nuclear bomb. So, can you blame them for being so paranoid?

Don't always believe what the media write about Putin or about Russia. It's often biased, simplistic and in many cases, capitalist propaganda.
