Medvedev: Relations Between Russia & US Ruined, Are At Brink Of War

What shocks older people like Prof. Cohen, is how nonchalant Americans and Europeans are about the impending war, something that previous generations were fully aware of during the Cold War... and yet the situation was never as serious. This is why the Europeans especially are being related to pre WWI, when they sleep walked to their death... literally. 50,000 men were dying on the battlefield each and everyday.

What frustrates Vladimir Putin, is that the idiots in the media are not waking the people up to the seriousness of what the war mongers and deep state are doing. In contrast, the Russian people are fully aware that there will be a war, and Moscow has taken every measure possible to protect its people and land.

 

It's the era of the American junta. The world is recognizing this and will act appropriately.

 

Silliest thing I have ever heard.

 

LOLOL.. Qatar doesn't need a gas pipeline thru Syria.. Nobody is going to invest in Syria. Too unstable. Look what happened to TAPLINE. It ran from Ghawar to Sidon.

Meanwhile, they are building a new pipeline .. the Eastern Med pipeline.

Russia needs to sell gas to Europe, but can't hold the Europeans hostage.

 

Let me ask you something. If you consider someone who was voted in by 87% of the population, with a turn out of over 75% like Assad did as being a dictator, then what would you consider someone who didn't have that majority?

Oh that's right I forgot, a dictator is anyone who doesn't suit the geo political aspirations of the US.

 

In the 2000 election Bashar was the ONLY candidate. Until 2013 there hadn't been more than one candidate in 40 years.

 

I keep hearing about this "brink of war" for what seems like eternity. At least three years strait since Maidan Revolution in Ukraine. But actually even before 2014 there were threats.

 

*L* Sure they did.

 

^ Believes in the electoral system of a dictatorial regime.

 

What's silly, that the Russians will never trust the West or that Europe will become a caliphate?

So tell me Margot, what are you on here for, to cut down every logical, educated, and well thought out post to satisfy some sort of agenda beneficial to your Gulf friends? Lots of good that's going to do anyone when there's a war?

Oh that right I forget about the sleepwalkers. WWI anyone?

 

You keep parroting that crap about a Qatari pipeline. Well thought out?

 

Who would run when the Syrians only want Assad? Your argument is only proof of his popularity. Kerry said he would never accept the election if Assad ran, since he was bound to be voted back in. Lots of democracy there. The US wanted to disinfranchise almost all of the Syrian people.

 

A third of the Syrian people have fled the country.

 

Was there any credible opposition the whole time Assad was in power? If there was it would've been quickly quashed.

 

The Russians have never trusted the west from day one Jean. All you seem to do is parrot the russian line of propaganda, hence all your postings from Sputnik, fort russ, RT-.

Why can't Russia be a normal, non-aggressive country like France?

 

You know I'm always factual Margot... unlike you. Here's the so called crap from Global Research. The last paragraph sums it up:

In July 2011, the governments of Syria, Iran and Iraq signed an historic gas pipeline energy agreement which went largely unnoticed in the midst of the NATO-Saudi-Qatari war to remove Assad. The pipeline, envisioned to cost $10 billion and take three years to complete, would run from the Iranian Port Assalouyeh near the South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf, to Damascus in Syria via Iraq territory.

The agreement would make Syria the center of assembly and production in conjunction with the reserves of Lebanon. This is a geo politically strategic space that geographically opens for the first time, extending from Iran to Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

Shortly after signing with Iran and Iraq, on August 16, 2011, Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian Ministry of Oil announced the discovery of a gas well in the Area of Qarah in the Central Region of Syria near Homs. Gazprom, with Assad in power, would be a major investor or operator of the new gas fields in Syria. Iran ultimately plans to extend the pipeline from Damascus to Lebanon’s Mediterranean port where it would be delivered to the huge EU market. Syria would buy Iranian gas along with a current Iraqi agreement to buy Iranian gas from Iran’s part of South Pars field.

Qatar, today the world’s largest exporter of LNG, largely to Asia, wants the same EU market that Iran and Syria eye. For that, they would build pipelines to the Mediterranean. Here is where getting rid of the pro-Iran Assad is essential. In 2009 Qatar approached Bashar al-Assad to propose construction of a gas pipeline from Qatar’s north Field through Syria on to Turkey and to the EU.

Assad refused, citing Syria’s long friendly relations with Russia and Gazprom. That refusal combined with the Iran-Iraq-Syria gas pipeline agreement in 2011 ignited the full-scale Saudi and Qatari assault on Assad’s power, financing al Qaeda terrorists, recruits of Jihadist fanatics willing to kill Alawite and Shi’ite “infidels” for $100 a month and a Kalishnikov. The Washington neo-conservative warhawks in and around the Obama White House, along with their allies in the right-wing Netanyahu government, were cheering from the bleachers as Syria went up in flames after spring 2011.

Today the US-backed wars in Ukraine and in Syria are but two fronts in the same strategic war to cripple Russia and China and to rupture any Eurasian counter-pole to a US-controlled New World Order. In each, control of energy pipelines, this time primarily of natural gas pipelines—from Russia to the EU via Ukraine and from Iran and Syria to the EU via Syria—is the strategic goal.

The true aim of the US and Israel backed ISIS is to give the pretext for bombing Assad’s vital grain silos and oil refineries to cripple the economy in preparation for a “Ghaddafi-”style elimination of Russia and China and Iran-ally Bashar al-Assad.

In a narrow sense, as Washington neo-conservatives see it, who controls Syria could control the Middle East. And from Syria, gateway to Asia, he will hold the key to Russia House, as well as that of China via the Silk Road.

It was a Water Tiger year.

 

...I see you.

 

Global research are amateurs. Qatar doesn't need the pipeline .. and by feburary of 2011. Syria was embroiled in a war against the Syrian population.

Syria's refineries are small.. because their oil production was nil by 2009.

 

maybe Russia should stop invading her neighbors and colluding with war criminals and terrorists.

 

I'm going to have to nick name you: 'Always Wrong Margot'. The protests initiated by the CIA and the Soros funded NGO's started in March 2011.

 

HUH?

Yeah, let Vladdie and his klepocracy fulfill the vision of a united russian/european "empire", because there's a risk of the evil muslims engaging in body swapping and he doesn't like muslims.

I hear they do it when you fall asleep at night. Next day you are gone and in your place is a MUSLIM!!!!!!! I saw the friggin movie, man.

 

Global Research is not a singular entity, but a news/opinion aggregator, as you should know. The article referenced by Jeannette was written by F. William Engdahl.

 

Nope.. Assad arrested and tortured school boys for grafiti.. A few were found dead on the streets a month later.
