Under the punned headline “No wonder Vladimir Putin was Russian to leave the G20 summit,” the Daily Mail told of how he had eaten lunch alone, and of how commentators had joked that Mr Putin had been ‘relegated to Siberia’ in the ‘family photo’ of world leaders.
It concluded that Mr Putin had fled the summit after a “stern” discussion with British Prime Minister David Cameron, in which Cameron told Putin that he was “at a crossroads”. Sounding wearily schoolmaster-ish, Cameron later commented “There's a real choice here, there's a different and better way for Russia to behave that could lead to an easing of relations, but at the moment, he's not taking that path.” ....
Just two weeks ago Putin took to the podium at the Valdai conference in Sochi, Russia, to declare “Russia will no longer play games with the United States and engage in back-room negotiations… Russia is prepared for serious agreements, but only if these agreements are conducive to collective security.
“Russia will not attempt to reformat the world in her own image, but neither will she allow anyone to reformat her in their image. Russia will not close herself off from the world, but anyone who tries to close her off from the world will be sure to reap a whirlwind.
“Russia does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention of starting one. However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it. Russia does not war, nor does she fear it.”
Despite being a clear warning from Putin that he is ready and willing to provoke the western world into a third world war, the speech was roundly ignored by the western press.

Remember when the always clueless MSM declared that history was “dead” following the collapse of communism?
Heh!
“Despite being a clear warning from Putin that he is ready and willing to provoke the western world into a third world war, the speech was roundly ignored by the western press”
That’s because Putin is full of chit and is not going to start anything much less WWIII. He barely has the military might to harass the Ukraine. The Russian ruble is already in danger of collapse from the tanking price of oil.
Putin is a little pisser who wants to be a player in the Western World. He just hasn’t gotten the proper manners for it yet but the Boy’s Club he so desparately wants to join is schooling him.
There will not be a war. Putin can do whatever he wants and no one will fight back. He knows better than to pick on the Chinese or anyone who would fight back.
‘However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it.’
You need to reread it. He didn’t say he was ready, he said he was preparing. Perhaps he feels he doesn’t need a capable military given the array of spineless goofs leading the western nations.
Of course the ChiComs are the only nation whose leadership has the means and the will to fight back.
Russia—no matter who’s leading it—either wants the Ukraine and the ‘stans (Kazakhstan, etc.) back; or else at least doesn’t want them under the control of a foreign block.
Foreign blocks (read: USA, EU) want to keep Russia out, so as to be kept weak (and expand on the “New World Order” idea).
It’s the Great Game, just being played all over again.
Putin isn’t Hitler; his successors will have the same goals;
and Cameron’s “... there’s a different and better way for Russia to behave that could lead to an easing of relation...”
is simply ignorance of the reality of Russian interests,
which will propel Russia’s actions.
NATO will cause WWIII by its insane provocations as a banker oligarch tool because Russia and Brazil and India and China and South Africa are forming a development bank (BRICS) independent of the fascist globalist monopolies held by the World Bank and the IMF.
Watch this video and then tell me I’m wrong:

Even the Germans are fed up with Putin's bull----, and Obama will be in office just two more years.
Putin is a fool picking a fight with a US and Europe that combined have almost 10 times his population and 20 times his GDP-- it's like having your ankles bitten by a nasty terrier. Meanwhile Chinese immigrants pour into the Russian Far East.
Both the Chinese and Russian oligarchs sock away as many assets in the West as they can.
“Perhaps he feels he doesn’t need a capable military given the array of spineless goofs leading the western nations”
There is that. LOL!
World wars are where 10s of millions of Russians go to die.
>>And who do you think will trust such a system? No one.
Apparently the BRICS nations themselves are trusting it just fine and bringing in a number of SE Asian countries. The BRICS nations ain’t chopped liver, their productive potential, once industrialized and creating a solid middle class, might just swamp us. Their societies are hungry for a higher standard of living, their people work harder than we do and their academic achievement and technology will soon outstrip us.
>>It’s just a pathetic recreation of COMECON,
Take off your ideological spectacles and understand that, unlike COMECON, none of the member countries are operating with under a planned economy. The residue of marxism in China and Russia is growing thinner by the day. These are fully capitalist societies. Read “Country Driving: A Chinese Road Trip” to understand the incredible free wheeling avalanche of entrepreneurship that is taking over China’s economy.
>>and it is under the control of an even more filthy oligarchy than the Western banking system.
You didn’t watch the video I recommended, did you. You want filth, check it out. Our oligarchy goes back 1000 years, theirs not yet two generations post Gorbachev. They are merely emulating what has dominated our economic and social structure much longer. But it’s always a hard sell for doctrinaire Republicans to entertain any criticism of Wall St., until you know the facts and the history. Watch the video and get back to me.
Thanks Tailgunner Joe.

If there's going to be a war with China I'd rather have Russian with us than with China... Maybe it's too late for that...
