Russian Threat etc as of 9Oct16

But Putin is not Nikita Kruschev, and Obama is not Kennedy.

Kruschev was removed from office for the Cuban debacle and Putin remembers that too.

Many over here feel that Kennedy's assassination was directly linked to the Cuban crisis.

And many do not realize that the "Crisis" ended in a negotiation of removal of the missiles in return for NATO removing the early warning radar installations from the Turkish/Russian border. Russia did get something in return, it was not the back down it was made out to be in the west.

What is going on now is the old Russian ploy of rattling the sabers in one part of the world to draw attention away from some other part.

I have friends who are pulling tours on the carriers in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf and they report that Russian fighters are constantly violating their air space and provoking a response. An "incident" is almost guaranteed at some point in time.

Since Russia has very little real interest in the mid-east such chancy activity can only be to draw attention away from Crimea, which has real relevance for them. The goal being that if they back off in the Mid-east we should drop the embargo over the Crimean matter.

The problem is that things have to come to a crisis point for all of it to work and the back room deals to be arranged.

But never forget that these fighter and bomber jets of Gog and Magog are bombing and strafing within a few short miles of a place called the Valley of Megedo.

We will see how it works out.
