“It seems that NATO members, especially the United States, have developed a peculiar interpretation of security that is different from ours. The Americans have become obsessed with the idea of becoming absolutely invulnerable…..absolute invulnerability for one country would in theory require absolute vulnerability for all others. This is something that cannot be accepted.”-Vladimir Putin
On February 27, 2012, Vladimir Putin published a 6,060 page statement. In it he basically said that Russia will return to a Cold War with the United States!
Even analysts in Russia say Putin’s latest statement is worrying. It has a lot of the usual anti-U.S. language, but it’s the first time Putin has actually indicated that a return to the Cold War is necessary.
“This is deeply concerning, since it creates the impression that chances for improvement in U.S.-Russian relations will diminish….in his view America is to blame for everything that’s going wrong in the world today, even terrorism, and Russia must prepare itself to act as a counterbalance to the U.S.”-Dmitry Suslov, Council on Foreign and Defense Policies
Putin does blame the U.S. for terrorism, even implies that the U.S. is terrorism: “Russia will always call things as it sees them…”
Putin says the difference between Russia and the U.S. is that Russia wants to be part of the New World Order, but the United States wants to control the New World Order!
He also warned of war with Iran: “…Russia is worried about the growing threat of a military strike against Iran. If this happens, the consequences will be disastrous. It is impossible to imagine the true scope of this turn of events.”
Putin’s 6,060 page statement was published in RIANovosti (in English), and on his website.
