This Tipping Point Could Easily Escalate To World War III: Putin Says “The Threat of Nuclear War Is Very Real”

Author: Mac Slavo SHTF Plan – When It Hits The Fan, Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You

“I have this awful vision of the Baltic States being seized, NATO unable to respond, Putin then blackmails using nuclear weapons what is called chillingly ‘nuclear de-escalation’ and NATO is unable to do anything about it. The alliance collapses and at a stroke, Putin has destroyed … the organization perhaps he fears the most, NATO. America is decoupled from Europe and the world is changed irrevocably.

Add the other chilling aspect of this, that nuclear weapons are hardwired into Russian defense thinking, then it gets really serious and potentially existential. Because if there is any hint of a Russian military foot stepping across those borders of Latvia, Estonia or Lithuania that means war under article five of the NATO treaty … but it also means nuclear war in Europe.

We should never assume rationality in strategic affairs, the human dimension is critical here and history is full of examples of irrational decisions being taken by leaders who believe they can get away with it. What we’ve seen [in Putin] is an adventurer, an opportunist who’s able to make decisions very quickly to seize opportunities as they’re presented.”

General Sir Richard Shirreff (Ret.), who served as NATO’s Deputy Supreme Allied Commander, speaking with London Reporters May 18, 2016. He referred to the Russian annexation of Crimea as a “copybook military play.”

General Shirreff isn’t alone in his thoughts, and those reflections are not unfounded. The Russian annexation of Ukraine was in 2014, and this (as has been mentioned ad infinitum) was in response to the ousting of the Ukrainian president and the insertion of Yatsenuk, a U.S. State Department creation of Victoria Nuland and Senators McCain and Graham. The annexation was specifically to secure Sevastopol and prevent the Russian naval base from falling into the hands of the Ukraine-U.S.-NATO-IMF hegemony.

That being said, on August 10, 2016 two Russian soldiers were reported killed by the Ukrainian military in two separate cross-border raids. One FSS officer was killed August 7th and one soldier was killed August 8th. Now keep in mind: the FSS (Federal Security Service) that controls border guards for Russian territory (in this case Crimea) is also known as the FSB, or the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, (in Russian). They are the agency that inherited the responsibilities of the KGB of the USSR when it collapsed.

Russia’s Solitary Man; [Putin is firing powerful allies and is setting himself up as tsar]

?August 18, 2016? JRL Russia List ? Military, Politics, Government, Protests, Elections

Vladimir Putin is throwing his old pals under the bus. He’s replacing them with loyal and docile servants. And he’s building a security apparatus that answers to him alone.

A year ago, Putin fired longtime associate Vladimir Yakunin as head of Russian Railways.

A few months back, he effectively dismissed Viktor Ivanov as director of the Federal Antinarcotics Service.

Last week, he removed his old crony Sergei Ivanov as Kremlin chief of staff.

And in the middle of all that, Putin set up a powerful National Guard, a 400,000-strong force that is run by the Kremlin leader’s former bodyguard and answers to him alone.

Putin is becoming a solitary man. He’s building a personal army and members of his once-powerful inner circle are dropping like flies.

“The age of the collective rule of Putin’s friends is coming to an end,” writes political analyst Vladimir Pastukhov, a visiting fellow at St. Antony’s College at Oxford University.
