Putin: In organisations such as
NATO, for example, established during the Cold War and clearly out of date today, despite all the talk about the need to adapt to the new reality, no real adaptation takes place.
But they continue to churn out threats, imaginary and mythical threats such as the ‘Russian military threat’.
This is a profitable business that can be used to pump new money into defence budgets at home, get allies to bend to a single superpower’s interests, expand NATO and bring its infrastructure, military units and arms closer to our borders.
Of course, it can be a pleasing and even profitable task to portray oneself as the defender of civilisation against the new barbarians. The only thing is that
Russia has no intention of attacking anyone. This is all quite absurd.
It is unthinkable, foolish and completely unrealistic. Europe alone has
300 million people. All of the NATO members together with the USA have a total population of 600 million, probably. But Russia has only 146 million. It is simply absurd to even conceive such thoughts. And yet they use these ideas in pursuit of their political aims.
Meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club
Liberals are so easy to trick and to manipulate for Globalists. It would be good for liberals but bad for Globalists if liberals started using their heads, thinking on their own and analyzing.
I love reading what amateurs have to say about military matters.
