Russia Urgently Recalls Officials Families Living Abroad

VLADIMIR Putin has reportedly told officials to fly relatives living abroad back to Russia – as relations with the West deteriorate.

Russian politicians and officials with children studying in the West have been told to bring them home to the “Fatherland”, local media is reporting.

They have also been told to recall any older relatives – such as parents – living in foreign countries, sources claim.

The worrying development – which comes after Putin suddenly cancelled a visit to France – applies to ALL state employees.

Workers were reportedly told to pull their children out of school immediately, even if it was in the middle of term.

If it really does go hot, nobody will be able to argue that there were no signs of it coming, that’s for sure.

I hope it doesn’t “glow” for many years.

As nuts as the elite political class is getting, I think more than a few want more than saber rattling.

These are not normal times. Not in Russia and not in the US.

Globalist Bastards have made already difficult times much worse.

Commies love chaos. It allows them to gain power if they fool everyone as to their intent. Hopefully enough know to prevent it happening.

I was concerned about this for several years and finally articulated this in a vanity in June of 2014 here (when I was Cuban Leaf):
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3170217/posts

At the time I saw the most risky period as between summer of 2016 and Jan 20 of 2017. The thought was that the plans and preparations were being made for this time period.

I really hope I was wrong, but I AM buying a lot more ammo.

They will also resort to saying that the election results are invalid(should Trump win)because of Russian interference. Then obama will declare the election null and void. Sounds farfetched? I wouldn’t put it past them!

We are fighting in places where we have no idea whom we are fighting or why.

For example, we are shooting at Yemen and Yemen is shooting back at our ships. This with the country than Obama pronounced a shining example of his foreign policy. In Yemen we are shooting against a surrogate of Iran on behalf of our surrogate, Saudi Arabia. Iran, in turn, is a surrogate in many respects of Russia which is fighting against some of our forces in Syria on behalf of Asad, virtually a surrogate of Iran. Presumably, we are fighting on behalf of of surrogates of Saudi Arabia in Syria, but we don't know for sure. Essentially we are fighting a surrogate of a surrogate for reasons dear to our surrogate.

Meanwhile, we are halfheartedly arming and supporting Kurds who are in revolt against Turks and all their neighbors. The war against the Kurds by the Turks might well be an occasion for it even closer relationship between Russia and Turkey than the one just announced and so Turkey might well become a surrogate of Russia. In fighting the Kurds our ostensible ally, Turkey, will be fighting against our surrogate (?) The Kurds. But nobody knows for sure what our policy towards the Kurds really is.

We have a similarly muddled policy in Ukraine in which our surrogate, Western Ukraine, is fighting against Russia's surrogate eastern Ukraine and even Russia itself. Again, our policy in Ukraine is utterly incoherent.

Our interest in the Arctic Ocean are being threatened daily by an overt and aggressive expansion by Russia in that area for mineral and oil development. As a corollary to that resource grab, the Russians are threatening our military flights and those of our NATO allies.

As explored in this forum yesterday, Russia has formed an axis of power running from here on to the Mediterranean including parts of Iraq and parts of Syria and also including a harbor on the Mediterranean Sea which now connects the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea with the Mediterranean, with no chance of interdiction by Turkey in the Bosporus in view of Turkey's recent rapprochement with Russia. These naval developments will clearly change the balance of power in the region of the Mediterranean and will no doubt threaten Israel.

Russia is working more closely with China, supplying China with raw materials which, in view of China's recent belligerency mimicking that of Russia in the Arctic in the South China Sea, poses a massive threat to world shipping and the world economy and to our allies in the region. Our policy is utterly in explicable, our allies are rapidly losing confidence in our steadfastness, the Philippines, for example, has jettisoned its relationship with America to some degree in order to cut and appeasement deal with China. Such is the fruit of muddled policy.

Russia has declared an intention to move armaments to Cuba, Venezuela and other Latin American countries in an attempt to change the balance of power in a move similar to the Cuban missile crisis which brought the world the very brink of a Holocaust.

In the wake of all of this, we dare not say anything negative about Putin without appearing to be on forbidden ground, to be against a Trump position.

Our foreign policy is clearly a muddle, it is clearly ineffective and self-defeating, there is no chance that Hillary Clinton will clear the muddle Donald Trump has failed to specify what he would do.

It feels like Russia is planning an aggression against a member of NATO. Check that out.

No, Hillary is on the Russians' side already.

America finds its industries gone, its treasury near bankruptcy, its alliances diminished, and its military hollowed out and making believe we are combat ready.

Russia cannot help but perceive this and Putin knows it is an opportune time to act.

I thought Russia was “Mother” Russia and Germany was the fatherland.

Spoke with a friend who is a Russian and a German linguist. Here's his response:


Germans speak of Vaterland, and Russians usually speak of Россия-Матушка (Rossiya-Matushka "Mother Russia") and родина (rodina, "place of birth" in a literal translation, but it's motherland in a better translation), but отчизна (otchizna) means fatherland, and it's used as well, although not as much as rodina is.

Germans also say Mutterland (although that's nowhere near as common as Vaterland) and Heimatland (Homeland): one of the German translations I've seen of "Department of Homeland Security" is "Heimatland Sicherheitsamt."

I thought “Rodina Mat’” means Motherland.

Europe is the primary danger, and if they attack Europe they know they will have to attack us. I agree odds are nothing nuclear will probably come of it but the odds of it happening are much greater than a year ago.

You may be able to hold off your neighbors but when the swat teams show up they will have truckloads.

I used to believe that the military would never fire on their own citizens. May I remind you what happened in the Civil War. Besides remember Obozo proposed a civilian police force with power equal to the military in every way. If you include the National Guard in that force they may come close. Remember Kent State when ordered to fire they did.

Drudge had a report this week that the pentagon was looking to help Homeland Security monitor the election. Of corse the UN will have a story to tell as well.

I fear no matter who wins there is great tribulation ahead for us.

But nobody knows for sure what our policy towards the Kurds really is.

GHWB encouraged them to reveal then cut them off at the knees, I see no change in the policy.

The people of a nation always pay for the mistakes that their elected representatives make.

The Norks have two satellites in polar orbit that could do an EMP and destroy this country and we have no protection from that because Congress does not think it is a threat.

Last night I saw a tv ad for kits called STOP THE BLEEDING. It’s for use on bad bleeding wounds and the commercial says they’ll soon be in public places. The ad was from Homeland Security.

If Russia is the one doing the hacking then they know what’s coming. Either it’s enough to incite war or it’s emails saying they will start a war to keep Trump from winning.

Now Obama says he make a decision on Syria tomorrow. After being de-balled over his “red line in the sand” comment, look for the .... to hit the fan this time. Our only hope is for the military to rise up against the tyranny and save the nation. Because if we shoot down a Russian plane, or vice versa, it’s game on!

And they’ll do anything to keep the status quo. This could also be Obama’s plan that if Hillary can’t win then he ain’t leaving. A nuclear war would make every politician in DC stand with Obama.
