American General: Russia is still a threat to Washington

81
The fact that the United States is called a threat in the updated strategy of national security of Russia does not change anything - Moscow itself is a threat to Washington, reports RIA News statement by the head of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joseph Dunford.



"The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters who were on a business trip with him that the new national security strategy document of Russia, where the US is called a threat, does not change (the US )’s view of the threat from Russia," the Pentagon press service said, covering the visit of the general to Stuttgart.

“The US military has always focused on developing Russia's capabilities,” Dunford told reporters. “This is a challenge for the United States.”

"We draw this conclusion based on their behavior and capabilities, including nuclear, cybernetic, ordinary, based on the threat to our allies," he added.

According to the general, he “so far only saw open sources describing the national security strategy of the Russian Federation,” therefore “I would like to see the text itself before drawing further conclusions.”

Recall Vladimir Putin approved the updated national security strategy on the eve of the new year.

“The strengthening of Russia is taking place against the backdrop of new threats to national security, which have a complex interrelated nature. Conducting an independent foreign and domestic policy of the Russian Federation causes opposition from the United States and its allies seeking to maintain their dominance in world affairs, ”the document says.

              Don't talk nonsense. The Americans themselves know that Russia is not an aggressor. Therefore, they are not afraid of anyone.

              But recently always have to be interested. Does the statement of the spoken general have national interests.

              For it is known that NATO does not protect anyone's national interests. This organization protects only its interests.

              And therefore, to the general surprise, Russia and the United States have a lot to talk about in a friendly manner. And perhaps that is why GDP does not nationalize the Central Bank. Since this is the key to trust between countries.

              Do not take close. I often fantasize so weird.

            On February 10, 1990, between 16:00 and 18:30, Gensher talked with Shevardnadze. According to German shorthand records of this conversation, which were recently declassified, Genscher said: “We understand that NATO membership for a united Germany raises difficult questions. However, one thing is clear to us: NATO will not expand east. ” And since the conversation was mainly about East Germany, Genscher openly said: “As far as non-expansion of NATO is concerned, this applies to everyone.”

            Shevardnadze responded by saying that he believes "everything that Minister Gensher says."

      For the United States, any country pursuing or attempting to pursue an independent foreign or domestic policy is traditionally considered a threat to its national security. Under the guise of this wording, they are deploying their military bases all over the world, arranging "color" revolutions, displacing governments that are not suitable for them, but these scenarios do not work for them in relation to Russia, which has infuriated them for many years.

      The general is right, as never before - the United States lives in a dangerous and cruel world. The thoughts of all the terrorists in the world are directed against the United States. All totalitarian states against the USA. And Russia, of course, is at the head of this process.

      And in America they never tried to think - why? Didn't they annoy the whole world with their "exclusivity"? But hasn't American greed gotten across the whole world across geography?

      And it is clear that the main threat will be Russia - with unlimited resources, with a people ready to tear the enemy’s teeth with their teeth, and most importantly, with the possibility of physical destruction of the United States. Or inflicting, as they put it, "unacceptable damage."

      And as long as we have the possibility of inflicting such "damage" - there will be no war. Simply because in America, the country of hucksters, they traditionally know how to count. This is with us "we will not stand for the price." And we live on that. And they have an exact calculation of what percentage of the US population will pay for Siberian resources. This stops them.

Ivashov said, after the 91st, when the Union collapsed and there was an "independent" Russia, the traitor EBN was in power, the Americans conducted exercises together with the Russians, and so the Americans ALWAYS made an enemy of a fictional rival with Russian / Soviet technology and they asked the Russians to show how and with what to amaze her and worked it out.

          Examine your opponent just in case.

          I would read part 3 of the personal file laughing The presence of a mistress, participation in corrupt schemes of cutting budget funds, sexual orientation, debts, addictions, attitudes to alcohol, drugs, hobbies, friends, having children, and so on and so forth wassat


          Read how he is going to act. This says a lot.
          This is for everyone who wants to know.
          In May of this year, the US Army and Marine Corps adopted a new version of the Combat Charter 3-24. ... now it is called "Rebellion and the suppression of rebellion"
          (FM 3-24. Insurgencies and Countering Insurgencies)

          A new version of the charter offers ... US wishes for the future and is focused on indirect (indirect) US participation ...

          The fight against the rebels begins with the help of the United States in need in a country.
          Before providing military assistance as such, according to the charter, it is necessary to create “institutions of sustainable development” in the country to control the population, to carry out economic reforms and to assist in depriving rebels of freedom of movement.

          The primary goal is “political mobilization of the population”, which should begin to associate itself with the existing government.

          The audience is primarily provincial youth, which takes educational and political courses, including with the help of non-governmental and non-profit organizations, which should not look like foreign structures.

          In theory, these young people will occupy power positions over the years.
          Another goal is to achieve a stable and proper connection between the central government and local administrations. NGOs and NGOs must work not only with the elite or the intelligentsia, but also with the provincial population

          It is also proposed not to forget that influential emigrants can come in handy.

          This is precisely the very ILC (Marine Corps) which was led and is now led by General Joseph Dunford.

          Does this remind you of anything? For example, Ukraine.
          P. Poroshenko drinks for him, and Mr. Sahakyan manages women
          (M. Saakashvili) just in the context of the charter, written for them as well.

            Thanks! Very informative. We studied the tactics and strategy of the partners + and where is our answer to NATE? As the famous character said "the fruit must ripen"! Why have you forgotten the US Communist Party? And the corrupt trade unions? Why did blacks begin to forget that they are second-class people? Why is there no organization "Putin's friends" or "Fans of Russia" in the USA? When will our television broadcast on the USA? What does our embassy spend money on?

              As soon as the USSR collapsed, the Americans quietly copied the system of social support from the Communists.
              Here is what she is short now:
              "The main assistance programs currently being implemented include:
              • cash assistance programs, including temporary assistance for needy families with children, supplementary income security, assistance for needy veterans and their dependents, compensation for parents of veterans, general Indian assistance;
              • medical care programs, incl. Medicaid, Veterans Medical Services, Maternal and Child Medical Services, Indian Medical Services;
              • food aid programs, incl. issuance of food stamps; additional support for mothers with small children; school breakfasts; summer food programs for children; food assistance programs for the elderly; temporary emergency food aid; food aid to Indian reservations;
              • housing assistance programs, including subsidies for low-income people;
              • educational assistance and retraining programs, including pre-school, vacation education, assistance to working college students, further education, assistance to students from low-income families, retraining of adults and youth, assistance to youth in obtaining work during the period summer holidays; programs to stimulate job search, training and retraining for persons aged 60 and over; assistance in obtaining work for the poor elderly and others.
              About 25% of the costs of support programs are in cash; 75% - for medical, food, assistance in obtaining education, payment of utilities.
              In the late 1990s. 34% of households below the poverty line received food stamps, 27% received school lunch assistance, and 45% received Medicaid health care. "

              In Russia, the wording is practically the same as in the USA.
              It is all about what criteria of poverty we and they operate on.
              The size of the budget in the United States and Russia is not comparable. We canceled the ideology of socialism as a concept, so we have nothing to export to the USA in this regard. Russia is free, it doesn’t take anything from anyone in the world (unlike the United States, it’s worth the monopoly on world finances), we live on the fact that we earn and give the budget. From here we have what we have.
              Something like that hi

                  Briefly about the "extremes"
                  Poor in the European Union are those citizens whose income, including social benefits, is less than 60% of the level of salary in the country of residence.
                  The average salaries in the EU countries are different,
                  therefore, to be considered poor
                  In Luxembourg, you need to receive less than 18,5 thousand euros per year.
                  - Denmark's poverty level is 14,5 thousand,
                  -Irland - 13,7 thousand,
                  -UK - 13,1 thousand,
                  -Sweden - 12,1 thousand
                  -Finland - 11,8 thousand,
                  -Germany - 10,9 thousand
                  in Romania 1,1 thousand and Bulgaria 1,3 thousand.

                  Regarding the Russian living wage. The monthly living wage in Russia is now 9 thousand 662 rubles, that is, about 131.78 US dollars, or 122.74 euros, per month or 1472,88 per year, this does not include medical insurance and medicines for those who receive them for free.
                  It would not be far to the leaders.
                  According to the results of the first quarter of 2015, the number of Russians with incomes below the subsistence level reached 22,9 million. Compared to the same period of 2014, it grew by 3,1 million people (from 19,8 million). At the end of last year, incomes below the subsistence level were 11,2 percent of the population
                  For example, in France and Russia, the number of people living below the poverty line in 2014 was nominally the same, about 13%,
                  in the USA - even more - 14,3%,
                  In the countries of the former socialist camp - Latvia, 26%,
                  Romania 23%,
                  Bulgaria 21%
                  Lithuania 20%.
                  Czech Republic 9%.
                  Germany 15%, Sweden, Denmark, Austria 12% each.
                  Hence the conclusion: as a percentage of the population, in terms of poverty, we are not in the first place.
                  And Romania and Bulgaria even surpassed in the amount of payments.
                  You can argue that in Bulgaria and Romania there is no oil and gas.

    The biggest threat to the world is Washington with its policies. It turned out that declaring values ​​and teaching others is not the same as following those values. Americans should forget about all ideas of introducing democracy in North Africa or the Middle East. There has never been and never will be democracy, it is simply not feasible. And do not look for "threats". There are wars in the interests of the United States
    beyond colonies and spheres of influence far from American borders. They come with great benefits for US capital - both financial and political. The Americans simply need an enemy who is created artificially. I don’t remember the period in history where the two countries hated each other as much as they do today. Even during the Cold War, there was no such tension, 82 percent of Russia's population did not even mask their aversion to the American way of life and US politics.

    The founding fathers of the United States considered themselves the successors of the Roman Republic, the current rulers of the United States consider themselves followers of the Roman Empire, but both of them are not very familiar with the history of Russia. Back in the 15th century, after the fall of the Byzantine Empire, the Pskov monk Felofen wrote to the Russian Tsar Vasily the Third: "Two Romes fell, the third Rome is Moscow, there will be no fourth Rome." And today history confirms the inviolability of these words. So, comrade officers should not strain excessively on not clever statements of poorly educated foreign citizens. Something like this.

    Never, never have to forget that
    in US policy towards Russia, only two options are possible:
    1) Russia is a threat to the United States
    2) Russia as a sovereign state does not exist.
    There were no other options for relations with Russia in the United States and will not be.
    And, if one of the American officials declares something else, this should be understood as a lie to eradicate vigilance.
    The United States is a stronghold of the forces of globalization of the world economy and for the sake of the results they need, the states are ready to destroy and kill everyone and everything.
    So it was, it is, and it will be so, as long as the United States exists. Politicians and diplomats should, of course, pretend that we have partnership, friendly relations, but at the same time understand and remember that the USA is the eternal enemy of Russia.

The French do not advise very much to attack in winter, the Germans strongly discourage doing it in the summer ... They did not come to an agreement. Then we decided to ask China. The Chinese immediately replied that it is best to attack NOW !!! The Americans ask in bewilderment - WHY !? They get the answer: "Russia is currently building the Power of Siberia, the Vostochny cosmodrome, building bridges with the Crimea, preparing for the World Cup ...

    Pentagon: Russia has no reason to consider the US as a threat
    Russia has no reason to consider the United States of America as a threat to national security - Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis is sure of this, Defense News reports.

    Thus, the US military department reacted to the adoption of an updated national security strategy for Russia, approved by President Vladimir Putin. The text of the document notes that the United States and its allies are opposed to Russia's independent foreign and domestic policy.

    The previous strategy, adopted in 2009, did not mention the United States or NATO.

    “They have no reason to consider us as a threat ... We are not striving for a conflict with Russia. We have contradictions ... But at a fundamental level, it would be a mistake to consider the USA as a threat to Russia, ”Davis said.

    In July, General Joseph Dunford, US Army High Command spokesman, declared Russia one of the main threats along with China, North Korea, and the Islamic State terrorist group.

    US Air Force General Paul Selva also put Russia in first place in the list of US threats.

    "The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters who were on a business trip with him that the new national security strategy document of Russia, where the US is called a threat, does not change (the US )’s view of the threat from Russia," the Pentagon press service said, covering the visit of the general to Stuttgart.

    A threat to the United States is the United States itself, with its rotten politicians and exclusivity fanaticism. We only warn: "Who comes to us with a sword ...". But, apparently, the DNA of the Anglo-Saxons is twisted in the opposite direction, which makes them constantly look for trouble and run into the "security strategy" of the opposite sides.

Americans bring democracy and Western values ​​to Russia - that's what they should see and nothing else wassat But for themselves, they see that Russia is a threat to them! So that's all right! Smells a cat whose meat is eaten wassat

    And America and the Anglo-Saxons in general ... by virtue of their ubiquitous view of the World and events ... have always been a source of global chaos ...

    For them, the peaceful expansion of Russia will always be like a beam in the eye due to the violent expansion of the SGA, starting with the genocide of the indigenous population of America. And after the end of the Civil War between North and South, they were completely stunned by their military capabilities and began to chop off the territories of their neighbors. And now, under the state SGA, it is necessary to understand only a superstructure, under the cover of which TNCs carry out the redistribution of economic spheres of influence by the forces of the SGA Armed Forces and Euroassals in their favor, because capitalism can only develop extensively, otherwise stagnation and decline, i.e. another crisis. And therefore the threat of 3 MB is sharply increasing! Capitalism, as an economic system, has exhausted itself and is the main threat to the existence of mankind! Alas, it sounds pretentious, but this is a reality that must be recognized and not ignored with the words "why then did the USSR collapse?" But here it is necessary to separate the mistakes of the leadership of the USSR, since 1954, from the mistakes of theory, and the theory has not yet been refuted. And vice versa, economists come to the conclusion that only with the transition of the world economy to the socialist way of life can there be resolved all modern contradictions in the world economy and the transition to the peaceful development of countries without wars for markets. That will allow the peoples of the Earth to invest in improving the climate, living conditions of people, etc. etc. hi

    Americans do not like countries that prevent them from doing what they want on the planet, and Americans hate countries that can destroy them (and this is only Russia)

    What is the difference between a Russian patriot and an American one? The Russian patriot must dislike the United States, and the Amersky is not interested in Russia and often does not know where it is! Do you see the difference in propaganda?
    In the mid-50s, “children of war” were added to our class (2nd-3rd), as our parents called them. They were overgrown, 2-4 years older than us. We sat at the back desks, at the lesson they opened their flaps and boasted of “the size of their property”, at the breaks they took money and breakfast from us. And we were afraid of them. Did we respect them? No! Were you afraid? Yes! That's how Russia behaves. Afraid of you? Yes. Respect No!!! You will not succeed both of these!
    Here are Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and dozens of other countries - dear! Do they scare anyone? No!
    Try to be respected without threats. It’s difficult because You don’t know how - there is no economy, the standard of living is low. How to respect yourself, if not by force! Mind you do not need ....

    Who is the greatest threat: moral Russia or America, with hundreds of military bases and capable of dropping atomic bombs on a knowingly weaker, unable to respond to the enemy?

    Russia threat to the United States is a big question who has its military bases on the border with Russia is the United States. In Russia, there are military bases on the US border, and that’s the answer to who threatens whom and who to defend Russia.

    The logic is simple.
    Strong capabilities are a challenge. And the challenge is a threat.
    Summary: any country with military potential and without vassality is an adversary.

    And in my opinion he’s just a moron! The USA itself is the biggest threat to the United States, as well as to the whole world with their idea of ​​global dominance. It’s not enough to ride on several horses at once.

    In Russia, the wording is practically the same as in the USA.
    It is all about what criteria of poverty we and they operate on.
    The size of the budget in the United States and Russia is not comparable. We canceled the ideology of socialism as a concept, so we have nothing to export to the USA in this regard. Russia is free, it doesn’t take anything from anyone in the world (unlike the United States, it’s worth the monopoly on world finances), we live on the fact that we earn and give the budget. From here we have what we have.


    An amazing thing.
    The budgets are incomparable - in space, they fly on ours, they don't even have their own engines; in aviation - we are not inferior, and even superior; in terms of tanks - we are not inferior, will appear on the Armata stream, ahead; infantry - not advertised, but the fact is, in any confusion outside the United States, soldiers put aside their M-16s and assemble Kalashnikovs throughout the district; anti-tank weapons - not inferior, air defense - not discussed, unambiguous superiority in quality; coastal defense - remember "Donald Cook", for aircraft carriers, yes - we are far from them, but we have a defensive doctrine; Well, an important, and maybe the most important question - ours can fight without pineapple juice and toilet paper, i.e. they have no morale, they are hucksters, but our WARRIORS.
    All Orthodox Merry Christmas !!!
