Now that president Obama has lost interest in Russia,as his 90% concentration is on new competitor and upcoming super power,China and Asia Pacific,I doube the threat will be taken seriously,the day for Russia is long over!

As I have made clear in my articles, one way Kremlin leaders likely hope to sidestep appearing responsible for launching a nuclear war is by provoking the West into throwing the first major punches of world war three. This is why NATO has been lured into the Balkans and why supposedly "former" Russian puppet states like North Korea and Iraq have been gradually pushing toward the brink of renewed conflicts with the West. As I have been emphasizing in my global war articles, either prior to or as part of drawing the West into major conflicts at these flashpoints, Moscow is planning to stage a right-wing coup, possibly involving Vladimir Zhirinovsky's bogus rise to power. Since such a coup will be attributed to the failure of Western-style reform in Russia (possibly on top of Western military action against Russian allies-of-old like the Serbs?), the subsequent world war will be blamed on the West's failure to support Russia, the general shortcomings of Western democracy and Western imperiali st military aggression. All in all, by staging a right-wing coup in Russia and drawing the West into major conflicts with historical Russian allies like the Serbs, North Korea and Iraq, an ideal scenario is created in which Moscow can unleash a global nuclear war and have it appear to be the West's own fault. As a key part of the above strategy to reverse the blame for the coming war on to the West, Kremlin military planners are likely hoping to provoke Israel into launching the first nuclear blow of world war three. As explained toward the end of my articles "A Global War?" and "Global War Alert", with the U.S. and NATO forces tied-up in conflicts on the Korean Peninsula and in the Balkans, the way will be opened for Russia's "Last Dash to the South" (the title of Vladimir Zhirinovsky's supposed autobiography) and an Arab onslaught against Israel since the Western powers will be unable to defend the Middle East and protect Israel like occurred during the Arab surprise attack on the Jewish state in 1973. Thus, Israel will be forced to resort to its "Samson Option" of nuclear retaliation again st the Arabs and Russia in the face of being overrun. (Notably , a chemical and/or biological missile attack against Israel by Saddam Hussein, backed by a new Russian dictator like Vladimir Zhirinov sky, may even be sufficient to elicit an Israel nuclear strike against Russia.)

CSTO, NATO, India nor China are each other enemies. All know that very well.

Where is the threat coming from then? From the things happening within Northern Africa and the Middle East.

Concern ing Iran I would not be so sure about their intentions if I was Russia. Makarov has undoubtly his thinkings about that. So does Putin.
