More Cold War Rhetoric
Russia is rattling sabers again.
In a speech to a military conference broadcast on state-run cable TV, Gen. Baluyevsky said there were potential threats to Russia from international terrorism or countries seeking global or regional hegemony.
“We do not intend to attack anyone, but we consider it necessary for all our partners in the world community to clearly understand … that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including preventively, including with the use of nuclear weapons,” he said.
This comes from Russia’s Defense Minister in 2003:
Russia will not strike first with nuclear weapons, reserving them, instead, as “a means of political deterrence,” the Russian defense minister said Thursday in Colorado Springs.
And on, and on, and on……..
Bush warned Russia to act more like a democracy. —Or what?
Bush learned that Iran has long since quit trying to build nukes, but he still says they maybe, might, possibly, try again, and are therefore are a great threat and inherently evil.
Iran is an ally of Russia… and on, and on, and………
The cold war is alive and well and thriving.
