"This is Real": Ambassador McPaul: "This is War."

Quote from page 32 from the latest Time Magazine with Putin as "Czar" on the cover. Lower left hand corner of page.

begin quote:"Putin has made Russian chauvinism and irredentism the basis of Russian policy," says Strobe Talbot, President of the Brookings Institution in Washington and a former Deputy Secretary of State. "He has upended what was a fairly major pillar of what George Herbert Walker Bush called a new world order."

"As Putin continues to menace his neighbors, Western analysts are revising their assumptions about Russia's cocksure President. A series of early predictions---that he wouldn't seize Crimea, or that Seizing Crimea would satisfy him---are up in smoke. After agreeing to a mid April diplomatic deal that promised to de escalate the crisis, Putin trampled on it. People who until recently scoffed at the notion of a new European war---one that could draw in NATO and the U.S.---watch the escalating violence in places like Odessa with rising anxiety. "This is real," says Michael McPaul, President Obama's last ambassador to Moscow. "This is war."

end quote from the middle bottom of page 32 of the latest Time Magazine.

I have been writing about this now for a couple of months. I guess I have an advantage in that I am an intuitive so I get what is going on sooner than a lot of people do. The point is: if Europe or the U.S. don't find a way to stop Putin he will use these same methods to take all of Europe city by city if someone doesn't stop him soon.

Remember the Russian Adage. "Push the bayonet in. If you don't feel resistance keep pushing. If you feel resistance pull back." This has always been Russian Military policy. Unless Europe, the U.S. or other countries fight back he will push all the way to Spain and France over the next 10 years city by city just like this. Why should he use his army if he can through FSB(old KGB reorganized) and Mercenaries with masks he can disavow will do the trick to take all of Europe city by city sort of like organized terrorists on a grand scale.
