Russia Has Nuclear Capabilities and No One Is Going To Mess with Us

I’m absolutely certain that they’re telling the press very little of what went on in the Security Council. But the main thing, in my opinion, is as follows: Vladimir Putin has realized that our country is in danger of losing its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The question arises: How so?

To be sure, it isn’t about someone’s tank columns or tank thrusts. Russia has nuclear capabilities and no one is going to mess with us. I’m talking about the fact that our leaders have been preoccupying themselves with the question of how to counteract “colored revolutions,” and rightly so!

It has become clear that the U.S. is seriously going about preparing a revolution inside Russia. Putin has understood what kind of processes might begin around here, taking into account sanctions and internal sabotage. How is he going to neutralize the threat? The pawns speak at rallies and run through fields — nothing will come of a fight with them. A blow must be dealt to the organizers, and by no means is that to say the “unified opposition,” which meets twice a year and babbles about nothing. The oligarchy and those officials who have been entrenched in power since the Yeltsin era need to be dealt with. There should not be two authorities in the country, one political and the other financial. If such a situation suddenly emerges, one of them will eventually yield to the other.

If Putin Draws the Right Conclusions, He Will Become a Great Man

In the U.S., the real power lies in the hands of Wall Street’s bosses, while the president is a symbolic figure. This came about long ago and is indisputable, but on our end that isn’t how it is. In Russia there are two scenarios: Either the president becomes an errand boy for the domestic Kolomoyskyis or he turns into the unconditional leader of the country.* The U.S. won’t forgive Putin for spoiling the American script in Syria; it won’t forgive him for how he is acting on the Ukraine question. A patriotic movement has arisen in Novorossiya,* and our president has not begun to stand in its way.
