Russian
Military Expert Says Time for Russia to Prepare
for War

-Someone should speak to the Russian finance
minister, Anton Siluanov, and put him in touch
with reality. According to a RT news report,
Siluanov has called for restoring economic and
political ties between Moscow and Washington.
Ties
between the US and Russia were intentionally
wrecked on purpose by the US military/security
complex and its congressional and media vassals
in order to provide the military/security
complex with an enemy big enough to justify the
$1,000 billion annual budget of the complex.
What does Siluanov think Russiagate was about
other than to prevent Trump from normalizing
relations with Russia?
The
last president who tried to rein in the
military/security complex was John F. Kennedy,
and he was assassinated. On Trump they used
Russiagate instead of bullets, and it proved
almost as effective.
If
Russian government officials continue to be
victims of their dreams to be America’s partner,
they and their country are headed to
destruction. The Putin government’s toleration
of a Fifth Column financed by Washington that is
operating within Russia against the Russian
government and Russian sovereignty indicates
that the Russian government can’t get its mind
around the fact that the neoconservatives intend
to reestablish a unipolar world.
Perhaps
Igor Korotchenko should speak to Siluanov.
Korotchenko says that Russia needs to quit
dawdling and prepare properly for war. In the
digital/thermonuclear world of today, Russia
will not have time, as Stalin had, to recover
from an attack and go on to victory. Among the
things Russia needs to do in order to be ready
for war, says, Korotchenko, is “to multiply the
strategic stocks of high precision missiles,”
which requires building additional plant and
equipment to manufacture them, protect Russia’s
digital sovereignty, and increase the
functionality of the FSB (the Russian Security
Service) in order to prevent the externally
funded Fifth Column from operating against
Russia.

Russia’s weakness is the government’s toleration
of the Western-financed media and politicians
inside Russia that operate as Washington’s
agents. The Russian government tolerates these
agents of Washington, because the Russian
government wants to show how democratic it is in
the hopes that the West will accept Russia as
one of its own.
All the
while the West is preparing Russia’s demise.
