Putin Warns Of "Nuclear Power Consequences" If Attempts To Blackmail Russia Don't Stop

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Vladimir Putin slams President Obama for adopting a "hostile" approach in naming Russia as a threat to the world in his recent UN speech. From an interview with Serbia's Politika newspaper, Bloomberg reports,

It’s futile for the U.S. and its allies to “blackmail” Russia over the Ukraine crisis, President Vladimir Putin said in a newspaper interview today.

 

Russia’s partners should remember the risks involved in disputes between nuclear powers, Putin said. He accused Barack Obama of adopting a “hostile” approach in naming Russia as a threat to the world in the U.S. president’s speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 24.

 

“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,” Putin told Serbia’s Politika newspaper on the eve of his visit to the Balkan nation today.

 

Putin said that Obama had identified Russian aggression in Europe as one of the three “major threats facing humanity,” alongside the Ebola virus and Islamic State.

 

“Together with the sanctions against entire sectors of our economy, this approach can be called nothing but hostile,” Putin said.

 

Attempts to pressure Russia with “unilateral and illegitimate restrictive measures” will impede efforts to settle the crisis, he said.

 

“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?” he said. “If the main goal is to isolate our country, it’s an absurd and illusory goal.”

So not only do we have ISIS, and Ebola to blame the collapse on, we can now add Putin's nuclear threats.

Samson option. I wonder how many they have aimed at the U.S.?

I was just thinking this morning of our two old chikenhawk oligarchs, Cheney and his little buddy Bush. How would they be playing the Putin beatdown? I would have to think those two would recognize that Putin has a red line, and that red line is Russian soverignity. All's fair in the illegal proxy war du jour if other people are dying, but Cheney and Bush wouldn't be so stupid as to fuck directly with nuclear-armed Russia. They certainly had their MIC oligarch fantasy of seeing Russia evolve into another profitable vassal state of the U.S., but I just don't think they had the balls to go toe-to-toe militarily with the likes of Putin. Yes [sigh...] in a strange way I trust the cowardice of guys like Cheney and Bush. They only beat up on smaller, weaker opponents.

Obama? Granted he's not really the one pulling the strings, but he doesn't seem to have any objection to total economic warfare against Russia. Kind of like how we got into WWII by orchestrating a global embargo of oil to Japan. The Imperial Navy would run out of fuel oil in less than two years under the embargo. The only way they were going to get any oil was to seize production in the Dutch East Indies. The only way they were going to do that successfully was to take out the U.S. Pacific Fleet first. Everyone knew that, especially the U.S. and the Pacific Fleet. 

What's really disturbing is that Obama and the DoD recently did some housecleaning among the ranks of the ICBM launch officers and their commanders. Coincidence, or part of some grander scheme? Maybe they were purging the ranks of anyone that would hesitate to launch a nuke? Hell, maybe they were purging the ranks of anyone that was not willing to obey an order to kill U.S. citizens if given that order. If a U.S. city was nuked (Ferguson? Detroit? Chicago?) who would we rely on to say where the missile came from? Yup, the Department of Defense. Same guys that have been so candid about all the signals intelligence they got on MH17. They could probably see the wristwatch on the pilot flying the fighter that shot it down -or- the ristwatch on the operator of the the SAM (or Patriot missile) unit that shot it down. I'm not expecting a lot of 'truthiness' out of the DoD nowadays.

Economic warfare is targeting Russian civilians. Any military retaliation by Russia will have to target U.S. and EU civilians as well - there are no military targets in an economic war. I'm kind of thinking Obama just drafted every man, woman and child in the U.S. into a sort of proxy military. We're only targets, of course, but we can't possibly make any moral claim that we're non-combatants in an economic battlefield. Russians are suffering, and there is no NATO military unit to blame for that suffering. TPTB in the U.S. are the real culprit, but everyone knows that the rich and powerful are immune from being targeted in any war. Wars are for the little people to fight and die.

I paid for those W54 cores (for 155mm nuke shells) that Bush and Cheney smuggled to Israel. The plutonium decays so much after a decade or two that you need to reprocess it to get any decent kind of yield, otherwise it's just a useless dirty bomb.

Whatever psychopathic plans Israel had for stashing a tactical nuke in their embassies is of little value. Anything they may have hidden in them a decade or two ago is junk by now.

They brought all that stuff back to Israel and have to farm out the re-enrichment to other countries. No telling how much of Israel's stockpile was lost at Fukushima - their 'former' reprocessing bitches.

Israeli's stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium shrinks every year - that's why they've become so fond of biological warfare.

Israeli Zionists, through it's diplomatic corp and MOSSAD have secreted into the USA Nuclear Weapons and has them deployed strategically where they can detonate one, a few or many as they see fit. They aslso have them pointed at all the major capitals of Europe. Essentially, this is Nuclear Blackmail...from the purveyors of 9/11 no less...Tel Aviv controls our Government, Hollywood, the Congress, the media, our banks and financial system like the manager of a baseball team. they give not one fuck about the USA except how it can help them to acheive Global hegemony.

13 Senators (most Dual Israeli-Citizens), heads of all the major studios (for many iterations now) and most of the biggest newspapers and magazines (NY Times, New Republic, even the Conservative rags as well), much of the mainstream media in general, Wall Street too....could go on and on.

Let's not forget that almost all of the biggest oligarchs in both Russia and Ukraine are members of the tribe as well, so this is a geopolitical thing not just the US.

It's starting to become a little worrisome. I'd claim 'racism' but that term means pretty much nothing now and is typically used to stunt debate, but in this case it's fast becoming applicable.

I do not like Bush or Cheney but they had a pretty good relationship with Putin.  Old man Bush promised Russia never to go to Ukriane with NATO.  I think it is in a treaty.

The USSA now is on full Soros Zio mode.  I think that was restrained under Bush and Cheny. 

The guy running Amerika's ICBMs is a dual citizen.   I doubt Obama's bosses let him near any of that stuff.

Putin knows he is dealing with murderous pyschopaths.  They hate him because he is not a fool and is not stupid.  They also hate Putin because he took out Soros oligarch pals.

Vlad has other fish to fry.

 

He has major worries outside of US posturing:

 

1) the oil price drop -- VERY significant for Russia

2) the agitation of the Chechens -- he doesn't need that headache to startup again

3) the sudden drop in the Russian stock and bond markets

4) the agitation of the Russian oligarchs he needs to keep under control

5) the significant decline in the Russian economy over the past 6 months

6) the dropoff in the EU economy, Russia's most siginificant trading partner

 

I could go on, but note this --

 

Vlad has a helluva lot on his plate at this moment, and . . . one wrong move . ..

. . . he's got a lot of enemies waiting in the wings to take over.

 

End of report.

5. 6+ year depression, food inflation

6. exporting infation globaly, now importing deflation (banksters goona be pissed)

The fall in oil prices are a net gain for Obama because it's a gain for most Americans, despite hurting some players.  Learn to think.  I can't teach you everything in blog posts.

 Is it possible that the oil drop is a result of sanctions against Russia and Russian oligarchs are selling oil off the(dollar denominated) books? 

 

 Correlation clearly isn't causation... but...there does seem to be a correlation with the timing of lower oil prices and sanctions.

 

  If Russia is selling oil off the books would that not result in a steep "on the books" drop in demand?

 

 If the U.S. economy is primarily related to the "skim" on all dollar denominated trade, doesnt a steep drop in demand for dollar denominated trade connotate, "bad" for the U.S. economy?

In general, the less trade that's transacted in dollar terms is a negative for the US.  However, lower oil prices are clearly a positive for the US.

I'm not sure I follow your logic about the perceived benefit of Russia selling oil "off the books."  Are you implying that Russia is selling oil for a price higher than the market price?  If so, I'm not sure what the incentive would be for a market participant to pay higher than the going rate.  So, it's likely that Russia is suffering a shortfall in oil revenue, which in turn is exacerbating their efforts to prop up the ruble.

 What "if" the cut in gasoline price ends up causing a general drop in every other dollar denominated debt based economic model thing? 

 Our present strictly fiat debt based U.S. centric global  economic model has only been around for what 43 years and has had the benefit of globalization-- growth in China not withstanding.

 

 Many pundits such as "Paul Krugman" pontificate about all things economic as if our present strictly fiat global economic model has been around for forty forevers instead of only 40 years.

 

 If we look at a broader timeframe than the past 40 years we see that every fiat currency system in human history eventually implodes and we know why--human nature.

 

 It is human nature that if you give people an unlimited spending limit--they will use it without limits.

Wrong.

 

If a Retailer purchases Gas from a wholesaler and people do not fill up because they are waiting for the next price decline it squeezes the retailer's profit margin....sometimes to the point that the retailer ends up operating at a loss.

 

Many retailers are BANKRUPTED during Price Declines. It happened back in 2008. It is beginning to happen NOW.

 

Price STABILITY is actually OPTIMAL for the solid foundation of an Economy.

 

Many Gas Stations will fold as a result of steep price declines. They will be bought up by the mega Oil Corporations for pennies on the Dollar.

 

After the Shale Operators and the Gas Stations are BANKRUPTED then even more centralization of power will be realized and they will charge any price that they can get away with.

 

Your worldview is one of myopia thus you serve as a useful tool for the oligarchy.

 

Manipulated markets are not free markets. They are manipulated for the goal of power consolidation and they violate the antitrust laws with impunity.

Sorry Bob, but your observations are not reality-based.  Deflation is a natural feature of market downturns and is to embraced because it offers relief to consumers and is the free market's way of liquidating enterprises that don't have a future.  Left alone, price stability will return.  Your naive "analysis" implies that uneconomic businesses should be encouraged to remain in business.

Good news gasoline price drop.

 Yeah, sure. I have less than 12,000 miles on my 2008 car. I do have a lot of savings that pays less than the accountant charges for my ultra simple tax return. I carry no debt and have no mortgages or any sort of debt at all.

 The gasoline price means nothing to me personally. I have other priorities that are always at odds with goomint "stimulus" pogroms. Other than a little from accelerated depreciation of my machine tools I have never been on the collecting end of any "stimulus" project ever.(except for the study on why there are so many obese Lezzies.)

The poster known as 'Crisismode' seems as confused as the POTUS in his threat assessment.

The greatest threat to the entire world, by overwhelming margin, is the Federal Reserve central banking system. Of that there is no dispute. 

The second greatest threat to the world is the Military Industrial Complex, essentially the enforcement arm of the abovementioned central bank franchise. 

The third and fourth greatest threats are the executive and the legislative arms of a handful of host governments, constituting a population of corporatist clinical psychopaths in control of banking, big government, NGOs, astroturf and mass media intended to drive various social and policy initiatives ("ISIS," "Global Warming," etc.), all contributing in various ways toward a horrific vision known by various names.

If anyone in official circles with a conscience and desire for truth is reading this, PLEASE consider it carefully along with its ripple effects and ramifications.  The world is waking up.

Wong, nice fantasy.  Putin/Russia has been "f'd" with so many times his bluster is not taken seriously.

Iraq1, Iraq2, Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Africa, missiles close to Russia, Ukraine

Putin is so cautious of reactions that Putin backed out of his deal to sell anti aircraft missiles to Iran and Syria.  Putin stopped the EUkrain rebels when they had a chance for a decisive victory due to concerns the US would ramp up NATO action. 

Putin does nothing, name one US supported country that Putin has destabalized.  In many ways the west is winning it's economic war and the west is continuing to physically move closer to Russia's borders.  When Iran falls it will open up new possibilities to isolate Russia.

Wish it was not the case but Putin seems more like Sadam's threats of "mother of all battles".  At some point the internal destabilization of Russia internally will be attempted.

Putin - you should have taken action when the now destroyed countries were intact, formed a joint front and been willing to fight, now you just look like a poser.  (The one thing to get Russia to go hot is direct invasion, which is not in the plans.)

The US doesn't have Russia's state-controlled media.  I can read any number of anti-Obama articles from a plethora of US media outlets, but I can't read even one anti-Putin article on RT.com or other state-controlled media outlet.

Likewise, America has rule of law.  Obama may not agree with the Supreme Court's decisions, but like you and me, he can't change them.  In Russia, Putin tells the Court how it's going to be and the Court crafts its opinion accordingly.

Likewise, Obama's personal and political enemies are free to denounce him in public without fear of being shipped to a gulag in Siberia (er, Alaska).

You're getting some learnin' for free, Bob!  :-)

You should be thankful that so far they've just been threats.

Putin has never had this magnitude of pressure placed on him as the leader of Russia before.

Do you really want to take the chance that he follows through with the threat this time?

Dakota,  an important point is that Putin/Russia has not followed through on any external conflict since Afganistan, where they had a poor strategy.  In fact Putin/Russia had consistently abandoned their allies and watched them get butchered.  All those dead families would have liked Russia to have stepped in and followed through, but it's too late.  And now Russia is in an even weaker position.  Entire countries that would have banded together with Russia's commitment are gone (or going) leaving Russia backing up to within it's borders.

This latest loud noise from Putin seems to be a cornered animal who has been kicked.  Lack of action by Putin/Russia in supporting allies, diversifying economically or forethought rather than reacting has put Putin in a situation.  Putin must either break the US in some way economically, and fairly soon - say a year, act in a limited nuclear way now against a US poxy or take direct military action in several locations with the intent he will go nuclear to win if he has to.  However, if the US manages to restructure a portion of the ME then Putin will find it more difficult to attack on the economic or reserve currency fronts.

I wish Putin had spent less time posing for pictures with his shirt off and been a man of decision and action before now.

You're right. Everything would be different if he just played more golf.

Not that these comments really matter worth a darn, but it seems to me that you are rationalizing.  The more the Fed hyperextends its economic and military reach, the closer it edges toward self-destruction.  Let us not forget that the international reserve currency is not the Ruble.  Russia does not need to print, debase and bully the entire world to defend a broken debt franchise.  Russia has not invaded nearly 60 countries since WW2 and murdered millions of people.  (Okay, their hands are dirty too, just not as much.)  Let us be clear who is their own worst enemy here. 

Stop trying to ascribe western-style duplicity and false-flag tactics where they don't belong.  It's not Russia that's trying to control every country on the planet.  All Putin needs to do is stand back and be prepared to defend himself if attacked directly.  The problem confronting Western bankers is that they finally find themselves facing an opponent that is prepared to stand its ground.  Our control freaks don't like that.  They aren't used to it.  So the demonization and proxy wars go on much longer than expected as the psychopaths face the unthinkable prospect that they've taken their ponzi as far as it will go and bitten off more than they can chew.  The rot set in decades ago; it's only a matter of time before collapse.   Rgds

"...This latest loud noise from Putin seems to be a cornered animal who has been kicked..."

Kicking a cornered gopher is going to produce loud noises and retaliation of little consequence. Kicking a cornered 800 lb. bear is going to produce loud noises and result in the separation of your face from the rest of your skull. Yes, even if the bear is rumored to be cornered, have a limp, the mange, ticks, is farsighted and hasn't eaten anything in weeks - and those rumors turn out to be true. If the rumors are false, your face is in greater peril of being detached. Fuck the rumors - just don't kick the damn bear.


"...However, if the US manages to restructure a portion of the ME then Putin will find it more difficult to attack on the economic or reserve currency fronts..."

How about if Putin manages to restructure portions of the ME with his TOPOL-Ms? Tip: Saudi Arabia is not a member of NATO.


"...I wish Putin had spent less time posing for pictures with his shirt off and been a man of decision and action before now..."

Do you mean you wished he jumped on the chessboard, knocked all the pieces off, shit on the board and declared victory first? Exactly how many highly-successful chess players are ever described as men "...of decision and action..."? Good leaders are measured by results, not reflexes.

All Putin has to do is bide his time. 

The American government is going broke as a result of endless wars/expanded entitlements.  It is only a matter of time. 

Besides, at some point, The American government will be too busy purging its domestic population and seizing its wealth, all in the name of the war on (insert cause here) to bother with Putin or those pesky Russkies. 

You'd have to be blind not to see this coming (militarization of police, FATCA, surveillance state, DHS armed to the teeth, etc).

Chechnya is not a country; it is part of Russia proper.

Chechnya has never been a country.

Bandar Bush got brave at a disastrous time of weakness for Russia (i.e. drunken Yeltsin years) and created a wahhabi fighting force that used Georgia as a staging base and eventually got crushed.

Saudi Arabia uses Chechen fighters extensively in Syria and elsewhere.

"Putin said that Obama had identified Russian aggression in Europe as one of the three “major threats facing humanity,” alongside the Ebola virus and Islamic State."

So it's 1) Russia, 2) Ebola and 3) the Islamic State now. (Travel restrictions on some Russians... perhaps even some radical Islamicists but it's still "hands off" on ebola... )

Just a couple of weeks ago Obama was firmly on record stating that CLIMATE CHANGE was the greatest threat facing the United States and humanity. I guess that's #4 now...
