Russian business should be prepared to switch to production to military needs at any time, said Vladimir Putin on Wednesday. The Russian president was speaking at a conference of military leaders in Sochi.
“The ability of our economy to increase military production and services at a given time is one of the most important aspects of military security,” Mr Putin said. “To this end, all strategic, and simply large-scale enterprise should be ready, regardless of ownership.”
A day earlier, the president had spoken of a need to catch up and overtake the West in military technology. “Our army and navy need to have the very best equipment — better than foreign equivalents,” he said. “If we want to win, we have to be better.”
When the clear outcome of a war between the US and Russia is mutual destruction, it is hard to understand what winning or being "better" might entail.
Since it is obvious to everybody that Russia has nothing to fear from America as long as Putin's puppet Donald Trump is in office, it seems to me that this directive is the result of Putin thinking that he may not stay in office that much longer.
However the idea that we would remove Trump and then immediately start a war with Russia seems more than a little ridiculous, even though by interfering in our election Russia essentially launched a first strike.
So is Putin simply saber rattling here for the benefit of his constituents, or is he literally considering a military engagement with the US?
No Money to Russia. Wasn't your$!
ReplyDeleteGet over it & Get out Putin!
Russia isn't your$ either. Punk.
RIGH'T'. "he swore he earned their “Person of the Year” for 2017 but turned it down."

They also offered him People's Sexiest Man of The Year but alas, he also turned that down. Guy is just too humble for his own good ;-)
Deletewar? why? we were getting along just fine with Obama. putin is smarter than this. he's messing with us. we're getting to close to finding out what he's been doing not just to us but our allies, too. do we even have any allies left? trump is such an ass.
ReplyDeleteConcur Eastern Europe and the Boarder countries.
DeleteDear Putin , you’re the king of bullshit and mass manipulation. Your country has a smaller gdp Than Canada and it’s twice the population.
ReplyDeleteStop being a jealous stepmom and move on and help your country by ceasing the oppression.
Russia doesn't want a
DeletePresident. They want their Tsar to come home. Trump should be helping it along.
Why? "Your fired" to Putin.
Mr. Donald would sit down, mellow out and do business.
Make USA Great Again. ;)º
:D
DeleteThis could also be a reference about his desire to reclaim former Soviet territories too, like Estonia and perhaps parts of Finland.
ReplyDeleteTrump is so stupid, he is playing Russian roulette with our existence.
ReplyDeleteHang the fat moronic , racist traitor!
At the minimum, " lock him up"!!!##
Not his nor his families' lives. WTH, right?
DeleteTalking out of turn again but, like Cheney ordering dumbya, I'm SO tired of innocent men serving nobly being sent to their deaths for an argument of who's got the bigger dick.
Putin thinks talk like this will wake the Dragon. Nope. Still ZZzz
ReplyDeleteNothing to see here folks. Hotair
From Hot Headed politicians. :/
The last few months have produced quite a few news articles regarding the US military gearing up and engaging in exercises geared towards the event that China and Russia decide to join forces against us. Hopefully it never comes to that because it would be ugly.
ReplyDelete....and I guess I would have to ask again, WHY? For an “I’ll show you?”
DeleteWhere are these news articles? Russia and China are not and have never been historically linked in any way. "that'll be the day when I die...'
DeleteLeave it to Turnip to really mash things up, and not in a good way...
OT: "“We would like to thank Senator Collins for having the courage to speak out against the FCC’s extreme plan to gut Title II net neutrality protections, and we hope to see more Republican lawmakers join her call for the FCC to protect, not gut net neutrality before the agency’s December 14th vote. Senator Collins clearly recognizes that businesses and Internet users across this country simply cannot afford to be unprotected from anti-competitive practices perpetrated by the nation’s broadband giants. An overwhelming majority of Republican voters support existing net neutrality rules. Other GOP lawmakers should follow Senator Collins lead, listen to their constituents about this crucial issue, and take action to stop the FCC’s irresponsible rush toward a vote.”"

Gosh first healthcare, then trump is a molester,now net neutrality.
DeleteAre we sure she is a republican?
Won't do any good. The FCC can vote independently of Congress and anything they want. Unless Congress is going to introduce a bill making net neutrality law, what the FCC does goes. And they're going to rescind net neutrality by exempting the internet from being a utility.
DeleteOk I must have missed something,where did it say putin is going to start a war with the US?
ReplyDeleteHe is planning on taking Ukraine and Baltic states first,since he believes they are Russian territory.
With all the corruption in russia,I find it hard to believe they make good military hardware.
Maybe trump can sell putin some of are crappy stuff that he told the coast guard guys he is making sure is sold to foreigners.
You couldn't be more wrong. The Baltic countries are part of NATO. They may be a battleground but Putin will never have them.
DeleteYea right and are on NATO side this week or not?

DeletePutin is paranoid and his biggest fear is the Russian people will rise up against him. This fear began with the fall of the Berlin wall and he was really popping in his pants during the Arab spring.
ReplyDeleteThe war,after the Ukraine and baltics, will be against his own people if they try to oust him.
Watch PUBS Frontline:Putin revenge.
They don't want Putin.Shrug
DeleteJoe Barton isn't the only one that likes to pull himself in front of an audience.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is Russia isn't the armed-to-the-teeth behemoth it was until the nineties. The oligarchs have run off with all the assets and money and the people live in poverty. The greasy little creep can only get money from China... are the Chinese going to arm the Russians to satisfy Shorty's little dick?
What is wrong with the Liar-In-Chief?

Time says Trump is 'incorrect' after president says he rejected Person of the Year overture
By EMILY GOLDBERG

President Donald Trump tweeted on Friday that Time called to tell him that he was "probably" going to be named the magazine's person of the year, but that he turned the offer down, an account Time later disputed....
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/24/trump-time-magazine-person-of-the-year-259614
I didn't think the person of the year has a say in their choice.
DeleteNot all the persons of the year have been chosen because they did good either.
Hitler was Time man of the year, Stalin was twice.
DeleteTrump commenting this is the same as people who swear they have an IN at the TIMES saying to friends in private "so and so will be named."
DeleteThis is not possible. NO ONE who knows can or will divulge the info or talk about it until publication.
Both Trump and other liars are dumb.
This isn't about starting a war or preparing for war.
ReplyDeleteThis is about keeping the people scared and afraid. Like the GOP does making their Deplorables fearful of Muslims and Blacks and apparently women, the poor, children, animals, clean water, clean air.....
Hey Trump, TIME Never comments on who they pick for POTY and anyone at the publication who knows will NEVER divulge info to anyone if risk being sued by the publication.
ReplyDeleteStupidhead.
This is a breeding ground for junk mail reporting and a Russian propaganda dispensary. Drunk Junk little men with huge complexes are liddle bullies and treated as such. Russian Businesses should just say NO. Time for Russian Citizens to take their country to a better level in the world market. They need a new leader and new direction.
ReplyDeletePooty will start a war if rumpy does not get his way. When trump and stumps are removed from the building with left over corruption to accomplish, pooty will be disappointed with rumpy. And one big giant camel fart will be released to the polluted oil sands of the world. And in the Grand Scheme of things....putin and trump are bad history.
ReplyDeleteIts a small world after all. And small little dicktaters in a small little man world is now boring. Living to fight and fight useless senseless wars is so back ass ignorant. China and Russia need to get their ass in line to clean up their mess of a country and quit producing garbage for the dump. Humans must throw these leeches of society idiots off our planet today. It will no longer be a "mans world" nor the 1% play ground. Human beings for human beings around the world resist, revolt and replace the toxic waste with kindness and goodness.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you up so early?
DeleteYou should be sleeping...
Putin can do anything he wants now. Trump is a stupid tool. He is making plans to expand Russia. Watch for an invasion into Ukraine. He is not planning to fight the USA. He has conquered us already.
