Putin flunky warns Russia will put ‘gun to America’s head’ as tensions grow

New York Post ^ | 12/21/2021 | Mark Moore

[tlozo]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed the West for increasing tensions in Eastern Europe and suggested a “military-technical” response if his request for security guarantees is not met — while a media mouthpiece for the Kremlin warned that Russia will hold a gun to “America’s head” if Ukraine is allowed to join NATO.

In a speech Tuesday to Russian defense ministry officials, Putin said Moscow needs “long-term, legally binding guarantees” from the West that the US and NATO will not deploy missile systems in Ukraine, rather than “verbal assurances.”

Russia has massed as many as 175,000 troops as well as heavy military equipment on its western border with Ukraine, a move that many fear is a prelude to an invasion as early as next month.

Putin said NATO has continued to expand its footprint in Europe since the end of the Cold War despite assurances from the West that Moscow’s fears of encroachment are groundless...

Dmitry Kiselev, a Putin confidant and the head of state-controlled media outlet Rossiya Segodnya, took a more militant approach in an interview with the BBC.

He said if the West fails to deliver the security guarantees, Russia will “deploy missiles.”

“But this is your choice. We don’t want this,” Kiselev said in the interview published on Monday.

“If Ukraine ever joins NATO or if NATO develops military infrastructure there, we will hold a gun to America’s head. We have the military capability,” he said...

Putin is in the process of basically bringing back the Soviet Union

That is the most ignorant comment I can imagine.

Russia is now a right-wing country whose government goes out of its way to promote and enforce the traditional Russian orthodox values.

There is NO evidence whatsoever that Putin would or has plans to invade any country against its will and take it over. Zip. Zero. Nada.

Every claim you've made it rooted in Deep State/far-left propaganda or ignorance.

We and other Western nations are the ones aggressive advancing toward Russia's borders by arming neighboring nations and encouraging countries like Ukraine to get into military conflicts with Russia. We're the ones that encouraged Ukraine to cut off Russia's access to the Black Sea. We're the ones trying to prevent it from building oil pipelines and force it to pay transitory fees to other Eastern European nations.

It's all madness.

  Profile: LIBERATION THEOLOGY

  “...liberation theology’s real creator was the Soviet Union’s foreign intelligence and domestic security agency, the KGB.

  Patriarch Kirill, who today heads Russian Orthodox Church, secretly worked for the KGB under the code name “Mikhailov” and spent some 40 years promoting liberation theology.

  Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc official ever to defect to the West, writes: “Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity.

  What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians....

  Its genesis was part of a highly classified Party/State Disinformation Program, formally approved in 1960 by KGB chairman Aleksandr Shelepin and Politburo member Aleksei Kirichenko, then the second in the party hierarchy after Nikita Khrushchev.”

  Adds Pacepa: “In 1971, the KGB sent Kirill — who had just been elevated to the rank of archimandrite — to Geneva as emissary of the Russian Orthodox Church to the World Council of Churches.... Kirill/Mikhailov’s main task was to involve the WCC in spreading the new liberation theology throughout Latin America.

  In 1975, the KGB was able to infiltrate Kirill into the Central Committee of the WCC — a position he held until he was “elected” patriarch of Russia, in 2009. ...”

  North Korea Builds an Orthodox Church

  The first-ever Russian Orthodox church will open in Pyongyang, North Korea this weekend.

  It's an odd project considering that freedom of religion exists almost exclusively on paper in the closed communist country.

  North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il is supposed to be a communist atheist.

  So why has he made promoting the Russia Orthodox Church his latest pet project?

  On August 13, the country's first Orthodox church is to be opened in the capital city of Pyongyang.

  Russian Metropolitan Bishop Kyrill, second in command within the Church after the Patriarch, will travel to Pyongyang to christen the new house of worship. ...”

Krill has also meet both Franklin and Billy Graham.

Gee, fancy that, he meets with other prominent religious leaders.

Never mind, that Putin is the one that vetoed a recent UN climate change resolution while Red Francis attends and supports UN summits on climate change:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/14/russia-veto-climate-change-united-nations

Russia has vetoed the passage of a United Nations Security Council resolution that for the first time would have treated climate change as a threat to peace, even as many Western powers increasingly take climate risk into account as part of their security strategies.

VATICAN CITY, July 12 (Reuters) - Pope Francis will attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow in November, health permitting, Scotland's Roman Catholic bishops said on Monday.

Meh. The US doesn’t care what happens in Ukraine “that” much

You're spouting the most ridiculous pro-Rusky Bullsh_t ever. Russian troops are INSIDE Ukraine right now, not vice versa. NO ONE is threatening to invade Russia. NATO is a purely defensive organization, which does not have the will or the means to invade Russia. Former soviet bloc countries joined NATO as a defense against bullying or aggression/invasion by Putin. Exactly what Putin is doing to Ukraine with threats of further invasion if he does not get his way.

Russia, communist China, Iran, Syria, The Taliban, North Korea, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, the “Squad” and the other members of the Socialist/Communist wing of the Democrat Party, “Black Lives Matter”, other such hardcore Leftist/Communist organizations, and YOU, and the other Putinistas, are all in the same camp! I’ve just made that clear as clear can be right here on this thread. So you can continue with your ridiculous responses if you like. But most of us I’m sure know what you all are about. Whether or not you’re being paid for it really doesn’t matter.

I’m sure Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jung Il, Mao, and the current dictator/president of China would or does as well. Doesn’t mean their evilness in many other areas is or was okay.

First Russia-China naval war games underway in Mediterranean
By Carol J. Williams | May 11, 2015

Reporting from Moscow — Neither Russia nor China has one inch of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea, making it an unlikely and provocative venue for their first joint naval war games.

The 10 days of maneuvers that got underway Monday will include live-fire exercises in the strategic sea connecting Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

The point is lost on no one: A powerful new alliance of eastern giants is flexing its muscles in the very backyard of Western Europe — much as China has done on its own in the Pacific.

The war games follow Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow, where he headlined Victory Day celebrations and spent three days making billion-dollar deals with Russian President Vladimir Putin. ...”

Yeah, one that stands firmly behind damn near every US-hostile Leftist regime on the planet!,

George Soros and his political organizations bankroll the Democrat party here and the far left. But, he and any political organizations are banned in Russia. That IS proof Russia and Putin are more conservative than the US.

And, the truth is Russianphobes like you are one with Obama, Biden, Soros and the Democrat party, whose anti-Russian agenda is the same as yours.

Did you believe the Russian collusion lie the Deep State the Democrats spread about Trump? Probably. Because you're Deep State stooge and not a Trump supporter or conservative.

Did you believe the lies Deep State and Liz Cheney told about Russia -- that it paid off the Taliban to kill American soldiers. Probably.

***George Soros and his political organizations bankroll the Democrat party***

RUSSIA supports and props up LEFTIST regimes all around the world! The very same that LEFTISTS in and outside of the DEMOCRAT PARTY support, embrace and want us (Americans) to be like! You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand this. Just know how to read. I laid much of it out for you. But then, I know you’re not really that dumb. You’re only pretending to be in an effort to push the Pro-Russia agenda onto the good folks of FR, some of whom likely didn’t know much of what I provided here.

Only a fool would believe that Hillary and the Dems have a GENUINE problem with the Russians.

Just as they concocted the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, they created a FAKE story that they, the notoriously lying, treasonous DEMOCRATS, view Russia as an enemy, while in reality, the Obama-Biden-Hillary, John Kerry admin, bent over backwards time after time to appease Russia on everything from the Putin-loving Iran deal, the Russia-favoring New Start nuke treaty, Obama’s promised and delivered missile defense deals, the Uranium-One deal, where Obama and Hillary allowed Russia to take control of, what some estimate to be, 20% of our uranium production! All that PLUS Biden’s traitorous Nord Stream pipeline deal!

[Kazan]

No, Russia is forced to align with leftist and Muslim regimes because we and the West have shut them out of Europe.

We fund their enemies and they return the favor. We're as much to blame as they are.

But, Russia and Putin are right-wing and with a greater Christian influence than we or Western Europe have.

Its time end the madness and normalize relations with Russia and, perhaps, we can both stop funding each other's enemies.
