NATO General Warns, Putin Is A "Dangerous Gambler... Willing To Use Nuclear Weapons"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Hot on the heels of George Soros' warnings that we stand on the verge of World War 3, demanding Washington back off its anti-Yuan pressure, it appears "the good guys" are fighting back with their own good-cop, bad-cop propaganda. As Sputnik News reports, General hans-Lothar Domrose, NATO Commander of the Brunssum Allied Joint Force Command, said in an interview with German magazine Focus Online that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a tough-minded, forward-thinking politician who is capable of foreseeing situations, but also regards him as a dangerous "gambler," who "is willing to use nuclear weapons against NATO troops."

 

 

Soros previously noted,

...unless the U.S. makes 'major concessions' and allows China's currency to join the IMF's basket of currencies, "there is a real danger China will align itself with Russia politically and militarily, and then the threat of world war becomes real."

And so NATO has decided to make it clear just who the bad gyuys are in any equation of global thermonuclear war (as Sputnik News reports),

General Hans-Lothar Domröse, Commander of Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum (The Netherlands) has revealed what NATO thinks of Russian President Putin.

 

In his interview with the German magazine Focus Online, Domröse called the Russian leader a tough-minded, forward-thinking politician who is capable of foreseeing the situation.

 

The general, however, added that Putin is a “gambler”, which might be dangerous. Unfortunately the general did not elaborate any further.

 

General Domröse also emphasized that neither NATO nor he personally consider Russia an enemy; at the worse, the country is seen as a potential threat. He stressed that no one in the alliance is interested in waging war; their purpose, rather, is to defend. He said that President Putin is aware of that, and that allows the general to sleep well.

 

The general is however concerned that President Putin might be willing to use nuclear weapons against NATO troops.

The full interview (via Focus Online - Google Translate) - NATO General Hans-Lothar Domröse on the new rapid reaction force, and the threat of Russia

General, we are not already at war with Russia - in a propaganda war?

The Russian propaganda machine is running and acts. We will reply to the west on the truth quickly, and we gloss over anything. It may there be exceptions, but it is the principle. However, it is an old Russian tradition, matters only not admit it then to comment in a different light, and finally to make a U-turn. Let's take the example of the Crimea. It was said at the beginning: We are not. Then it was: Yes, there are also Russian soldiers. But they're on vacation . Soldier on vacation with equipment so. The summit was then entering into argument of President Putin: I had to intervene there.

Should the West respond with counter-propaganda?

He must not be primarily be lulled. I can understand the concern of our Baltic friends who warn repeatedly: Warning, not fall for the Russian scam. We have to be straight and honest go our way. Let the differences quietly made: We stick to the truth.

How is the Russian military presence in and around the Ukrainian troubled region?

The Russian armed forces are permanently very active since the beginning of Ukraine crisis in the air. We have over 300 airspace violations or fast-injury. On Russian territory at a location nearby Ukraine regiments, classic combat units. We also have time with Special Forces dealing with jeans and sunglasses, the seep.

They currently rely on a highly mobile task force, which is to make the eastern flank of NATO safer. How far are you with it?

We are nearing the realization of our plans, including the necessary infrastructure. We know from the Russian military exercises that Russia can move 100 000. soldiers very quickly. We have responded and the NATO Response Force, so to speak, our firefighters, reinforced, 13 000 to 30 000 men. NATO has also decided to make these forces available more quickly, thus reducing the alarms. And we need a spearhead, a sort of scouts who can start immediately. This is on the order of a brigade, good 5,000 men, supported by ships and aircraft, which can be moved within a week to counter a possible attack. First, they should put off, in the hope that there will be no further.

How credible deterrence may in such outnumbered ever be?

That's a relatively small troupe 5000-7000 man, so much is true. But its essential value is that it represents more than half of all NATO members. So there are around 20 different countries always on site. And just in case, each nation would be affected. But let me emphasize that: No one in NATO wants to wage a war. But we will protect the population. I believe that President Putin knows it. That's why I still sleep well.

NATO has Putin challenged by being moved up to close to the Russian borders?

That, sir, is nonsense. NATO is a values-based defense alliance. It is in principle open to like-minded people. Nations seek its own initiative to take charge. The Alliance itself will not do so on fishing expeditions to get more members into the basket.

Former members of the Warsaw Pact now belong to NATO and are still equipped with Russian military technique. Delivering the Russians still spare parts?

Currently, they do not. I hear you supplied on the open market.

Putin would be willing to use nuclear weapons against NATO troops?

We consider this issue with great concern. The Russians maintain the tactical use of nuclear weapons in the battle for a possible form of warfare.

I think President Putin is a forward-thinker. But also a gambler. That can also be dangerous. You have to make the cost of the use of [nuclear weapons] so high that it seems too expensive to him for him. Since we are on track. But I want to emphasize that neither NATO nor Domröse consider Russia as an enemy. Very well, but as a threat.

missiles can think?  (even if you can't)

defensive missles are eactly that, defensive.

Pretend you're a pretty Polish Patriot missile, Augustus.

Immediately after the US/NATO's treacherous nuclear first strike, General Breedlove targets you to get a Russian nuclear ballistic missile (still in its launch phase) that survived the atomic holocaust that Obysmal rained down on Western Russia. 

How do you, pretty Polish Patriot, know that the missile you have been assigned to get is incoming from North Korea or was just launched from the Borodino Forest?  

If the ICBM was just launched then aren't you nothing moar than a pretty Polish offensive weapon aimed at a target inside Russia?

 

And as for me getting pumped by Vlad, what about you and the countless times Obysmal got lost in your chocolate chunnel and Michelle had to strap it on and give both of you the Negro Two Stroke?

I took the cash.

Soros is playing both sides as usual, but in this case he already knows China's Yuan will be allowed in the SDR basket...that was decided long before it came into the public arena and will be official in September.  The IMF has little to no influence or credibility, much like NATO...except in psych-ops & wars, but that is coming to an end with the China-Russian and soon to be German alliance.  It will be slow, but much progress for handing over the "world keys" has been laid already.  China will use the IMF to issue their bonds and they will become more desirable than the US Treasury's because China will be using Gold-backed notes for trade settlement.  This ends badly for so many of us and remember that all governments (major influential ones) are corrupt to the core because they are controlled by people that are corrupt.  Also, this is the judgment on the world; that it has earned.

WWIII has already been in progress in the financial, cyber and trade arenas and we are loosing yet again.  The hot part comes when some dummy/psychopath thinks he can "fill in the blank".

Maybe the good general should keep an ample suppy of body bags to go with his theories. In some skirmish involving NATO and Russian troops a 100,000 tough as nails Russians could turn up with blood in their eye. And that would just be the beginning, hope the Europeans and the rest of us are ready for what comes next, cause once the shooting starts theories mean shit.

Well with the crazy bastards running the west, wouldn't you be required to have the nuke option on the table?  And if the NATO troops attack Russian interests, you'd be an idiot not to.  That way the red line is actually the death line and if you try crossing it you know full well what's going to happen.

That being said, I bet the idea of "first strike" is being talked about a lot lately.

In other circles, the general is known as Hieronymus Karl Friedrich, Freiherr von Münchhausen.

Famous for his impossible achievements as a sportsman, soldier, and traveler (riding on a cannonball, traveling to the Moon.)

His most courageous feat was sleeping with Victoria Noodleman and keeping his eyes open from foreplay to orgasm.

Why would Russia bother with the expense of maintaining nukes if they did not feel that they might have to use them?  Russia is a fairly small country and many people equate them with the former USSR.  NATO realizes that they cannot attack Russia and win even though Russia posseses a fraction of the USSR's former capabilities.

What values? Bombing countries to pieces because they don't give in to your political black mailing? NATO as an organization bombed Yugoslavia to pieces and NATO countries went to war in the ME. NATO goes to war over geopolitical and geostrategical 'values' defending the interest of resource and finance industries. War is a racket.

What Israel is doing over there in Europe is that its trying to divide and conquer it. America and its satellite state Israel is using the Ukraine to destroy both Europe and Russia at exactly the same time. What Israel has done over there in the Ukraine is the equivalent of Europe or Russia creating problems between America and Israel. Europeans are stupid for falling for it too. Now they hold the bag of problems while Israel stirs up trouble with China and all of its surrounding neighbors.

Brazil and the rest of Latin America's economy is no accident at all. Israel is involved in that too and it uses America to do its bidding. The majority of Americans do not support Israel which is why they use the NSA, the Fed and other Jew controlled agencies which are supposed to be part of our American government. Israel is doing all of this to prevent us from freeing ourselves from their grip. Believe it or not but all of us who aren't Jewish are being treated like Palestinians but the media won't cover it because the Jew media covers it all up.

The General is quite right. 

Nato is a value based organization. The value being money. 

Nations take charge themselves. NATO doe not go aorund fishing. blah blah....  This means NATO will not move an inch unless paid by some Nation.

So, NATO provided thousands of soldiers because there was alarm in eastern Europe and they paid for the services of NATO.

Russia refused to pay the NATO alliance good money. And even preparing to bomb NATO.

In reality NATO is not the enemy of Russia. NATO just uses Russian name to sell expensive services. 

it all makes sense

NATO -an organisation controlled by the US, looking to start a war.

The world should wake up to the fact that far from being the problem, Putin is trying to put forward solutions which will benefit the world. His offers to the West to enter mutually beneficial trade deals have fallen on deaf ears. The western imperialists see their world domination slipping away, and they will do anything to reverse the decline. Unfortunately for them, they have been rumbled, and a waking world wants rid of them all. A new paradigm is waiting in the wings.
