    Will China Choose Russia or America in the Coming War?

    March 21, 2014

    The Common Sense Show


    When war breaks out between the United States and Russia, which side will China support? Make no mistake about it, China is the 800 pound gorilla in the room that cannot be ignored. Whomever, the Chinese throw their support behind in the upcoming war between the US and what is left of NATO, will be the likely winner.

    Asking the correct questions holds the key to making the correct assessment with regard to who China will militarily support. China knows that in today’s world, they cannot militarily defeat either the Russians or the United States, individually. However, the Chinese have positioned themselves to determine the ultimate winner.

    China’s Main Motivation


    Following the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement, that established the dollar (i.e. the Petrodollar) as the world’s reserve currency, the dollar immediately became the second best invest long-term investment on the planet, next to the actual owning of gold. Subsequently, when the Chinese made the decision to purchase US debt, it had to appear to the Chinese that they were purchasing a sure thing which would return untold amounts of wealth.
    What the previous generation of Chinese leaders did not foresee was that the US would purchase themselves into such a quagmire of debt, and would someday cause the US to be on the verge of committing economic suicide. The Chinese have come to realize that they have purchased a declining asset.
    Twenty five years ago, if the Chinese financial planners could not have foreseen that the US would be 17 trillion dollars in debt, have an unfunded mandate liability (e.g. social security, Medicare, etc.) of 240 trillion dollars and would have assumed the liability of over one quadrillion dollars of credit swap derivatives debt that resulted in the “need” for the bailouts. If they had, the Chinese would have run from the dollar a long time ago and then would have moved into to clean up after the coming crash of the dollar occurred. In short, the Chinese failed to anticipate that the US would commit financial suicide in slightly more than a generation.
    The Chinese Adjust

    About a decade ago, the Chinese government made a mid-course correction and began to acquire massive amounts of gold. The Chinese further set up a bilateral agreement with India to not trade with each other by using the dollar and dealt in gold as a result.
    Just five weeks ago, even the ultraliberal MSNBC revealed that the Chinese are internationalizing their Yuan through their gold holdings.
    Is the midnight oil now burning in the Pentagon? This means war. This economic maneuver by the Chinese represents a complete move away from the dollar.
    Things have moved from bad to worse. This Chinese action was followed by the BRIC nations making the bold move of purchasing Iranian oil in gold instead of using the Petrodollar as the Chinese began to make the move away from their over-reliance on owning US debt. This set up the US vs. Syria/Iran conflict. The answer on who China will support in WW III has been solved because the following question has been answered.
    Do the Chinese want to control much of the world’s reserve currency, which is in full decline, or, would they rather own the actual resources that their soon-to-be worthless dollars represents?
    The Chinese Will Choose Owning Hard Assets Over a Depreciating Dollar

    At the present moment, if the dollar collapses, so does the Chinese economy. What could Putin offer the Chinese in exchange for their military support against the United States?
    Putin can offer Chinese President Hu, the spoils of war. America is not broke, not even close. The United States of America is awash in wealth, cash, proprietary assets and an unimaginable amount of mineral wealth. What belongs to the American people has been transferred, in the greatest theft in world history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the criminal elite gangsters which control the politicians with insider-trading and outright bribes.
    Americans are lamenting that our budget deficit is approaching $17 trillion dollars. Our national debt and deficit is a drop in the bucket compared to the assets that our government controls on behalf of the bankers.
    The federal government and its Basel-based bankster puppeteers own the rights to mineral and energy leases, from which they receive royalties, rents, and bonus payments, states the Institute for Energy Research, an industry group. According to their estimates, government states that the assets are worth a very conservative 128 trillion dollars of debt. That’s almost eight times the national debt. And through the bailout process, who owns controls the assets of the United States government? Why of course, it is the Bastards from Basel.
    The Institute for Energy Research states that “These resources could be leased to third parties and could subsequently earn the state and national government huge royalties, rents, and bonus payments that estimates could total almost $150 billion over 10 years, just for the oil and gas leases alone”. Then why isn’t this being done? Simple, ask yourself who would lose money if this were to come to fruition? Certainly, not the Chinese and they know it.
    The Spoils of War Defined

    As the reader progresses to the end of this article, it is clear that the banksters are in total control and are pushing Putin, Hu and Obama towards the inevitable WW III.
    The vast mineral resources of the United States have been promised to the Chinese and they are moving to take possession. For the past three years, many of my military sources and economic analyst contacts tell me that a series of international “inland ports” has been created in conjunction with known mineral rich areas and the control of these areas is increasingly being handed off to the Chinese. Further, the Chinese military is increasingly being stationed around these inland ports to ensure safety and security of the Chinese investment and its mining and geological personnel. Whoever, in the US government who has allowed this situation to occur is a traitor to the United States. It looks like the early Soviet defectors who warned us that that the United States would be conquered, first, from within, knew what they were talking about.
    Is anyone highly suspicious as to why Michelle Obama is presently in China away from the intense scrutiny of the American media? What message is she delivering to the Chinese? Is it terms of surrender. A timetable for action? I am a little more than suspicious.
    Conclusion

    The Chinese are clearly in support of the Russians and this alliance has been fermented by the banksters who want the reorganizing that will follow WW III. For those naive people who view Putin as a hero against the New World Order, your misguided faith in this former Colonel of the KGB/Russian mafia operative, has been exposed.
    I must admit that when I sit back and marvel at the cleverness of how the bankers have set the world on a collision course with WW III, I am impressed with their collective intelligence and aghast at their evil in starting a war that will kill millions/billions. The world will never be the same. This country will never be the same.
    Some people will undoubtedly feel that they should accept the new reality of a New World Order and will not see the harm in capitulating to, and cooperating with, the coming new management. If the United States is defeated in the coming conflict, our reorganization will follow some very painful steps and this has many of our military leaders, both past and present shaking in their collective boots.
    It now makes sense as to why Obama has felt the need to fire 260+ senior command military officers, particularly in the nuclear weapons program, since his tenure in office began. The DHS purchasing 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition now makes more sense. All the FEMA Camp types of legislation makes complete sense as do DHS documents such as the MIAC report which vilifies veterans, gun owners and Constitutionalists as well as Christians. The international agreements to bring in foreign troops, under treaty, in times of national emergency, or rebellion of the American people, now make more sense as well.
    Can anything be done to stem the tide? If one is pinning their hopes on defeating the combined forces of the BRIC nations, don’t get your hopes up.
    What form will the coming economic, political and military collapse of this country follow? And what will it mean to ordinary citizens will be examined in the next part of this series.

    Putin’s Plans to Seize Eastern Europe and Alaska

    March 20, 2014
    Dave Hodges
    March 20, 2014
    The Common Sense Show

    Was the coming WW III moment foretold on a mural at Denver International Airport near baggage pick-up?

    I have received highly credible accounts that if Putin invades any portion of Ukraine, exclusive of Crimea, that the United States is prepared to enact a no-fly zone over Syria in order to prevent the Russians from continuing to arm Assad with the necessary weapons to make an American invasion of Syria very costly in terms of lives and money.

    As I have stated all along, World War III will begin, but not end in Syria. The United States, in an attempt to prolong the life of the Petrodollar needs to first invade Syria and then Iran to take control of payment obligations when it comes to Middle Eastern oil.

    These same insider reports also indicate that Putin is prepared to counter any strike upon Syria with an attack upon Alaska and the former Soviet Socialist Republics in Eastern Europe. An additional report for this claim comes from an advisor to the Russian Parliament by the name of Roman Kokorev. But according to some Russian sources, Kokorev does not hold any such position. Yet, the following demonstrates that he indeed is who he says he is.


    This “Legal Advisor” to the Russian Parliament produced two maps on his former Facebook page which strongly indicates that Russia has designs on reacquiring Alaska and the previously mentioned former Soviet Socialist Republics (see maps below).

    A Russian map produced by Kokorev which clearly shows Russia’s intention to take over Alaska.

    This map disappeared from Kokorev’s Facebook page sometime last night. Additionally, there have been Facebook accounts that suddenly cast doubt on Kokorev’s authenticity. Now, his entire Facebook page has been taken down. However, despite the cover up, it strongly appears that Alaska is not the only target of Putin’s newfound imperialism and the evidence is strong. Take a look at the companion map that was also posted on Roman Kokorev’s Facebook page which follows the accounts of Biden’s actions, yesterday, in Eastern Europe in response to a perceived coming Russian military invasion. .

    Yesterday, Kokorev’s claims of an Eastern European invasion by Russia received tacit support from Vice President Joe Biden. The Guardian’s Dan Roberts has extensively covered Biden’s promises of an increased US military presence in the Baltics made in Warsaw. The US is planning to send ground troops to the Baltic states.

    Biden stated that “We are exploring a number of additional steps to increase the pace and scope of our military co-operation, including rotating US forces to the Baltic region to conduct ground and naval exercises – as well as training missions”. The Eastern European countries include Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Bulgaria, Rumania, Poland, Lithuanian, Latvia, and Finland and are the presumed targets of Putin.

    Reuters is also reporting that the Vice-President met in Warsaw with Estonian President Toomas Hendrik. Clearly, the Kokorev account is being validated by Biden as he stated yesterday that the US “is committed to NATO’S pledge to help member states if military action is taken against them”. Biden also addressed the issue I raised in my article I wrote yesterday in which Putin can strangle gas shipments to Europe.

    Acting on behalf of the White House, Biden also said the US would help Baltic states diversify their energy sources. Clearly, Biden is dusting off the pages of the Berlin Airlift shipments of food and medicine, in 1947, in which President Truman kept West Berlin from being overrun by the Soviets after the city was surrounded and cutoff. There will be not be a Berlin Airlift for the energy needs of Europe coming from the United States. We do not have the capacity and Putin is going to take advantage of this vulnerability by driving a wedge through NATO (see yesterday’s article that addressed this point). Europe will probably be blackmailed into submission by Putin. It is conceivable that all of Eastern Europe will fall without offering any military resistance.

    Here is the Kokorev map of Russian military intentions.


    The reconstituting of the old Soviet Socialist Republics

    There is a Russian media account of Kokorev’s claims. In fact the publication even published Kokorev’s Facebook page photo, despite his account disappearing. The publication and title, in Russian is Дипломат, заявивший о желании России вернуть Аляску, “засветил” свои данные во французской соцсети

    Kokorev’s Facebook photo as published in a Russian publication

    I took most of the text of the Russian media article and had it translated from Russian to English. The idiomatic phrases are resistant to exact translation, but the meaning is quite clear. The Russian disinformation agents are attempting to erase Kokorev’s ill-timed revelation of Russian intentions for Alaska.

    Roman Kokorev , introduced himself to the Facebook as representative of the Russian Federation to the Council of Europe , said that the return of the Russian territory of Moldova, Ukraine, other former Soviet republics , as well as Alaska , the Baltic States , Finland and Poland .
    About this he wrote on Facebook during correspondence with Pauline Godorog that made their dialogue and screenshots posted on his page.
    “Dear Ukrainians and Russians sober ! Today had the privilege to talk with a representative of Russia in the European Parliament . Conversation was about the situation in Crimea. Could not that you do not share . Please pass on to everyone saw . Attention , indecent expressions ” – Godorog wrote .
    “Observer” received a message on behalf of the organizer Evromaydana in Strasbourg Catherine Pushkar, which reported that Kokorev is not official.
    ” Hello, regarding your article ” The representative of the Russian Federation to the Council of Europe : Russia will regain Alaska , the Baltic States , Finland and Poland . ” We received information about Roman Kokoreva . It is not official and has mental problems ,” – said Pushkar . She also wrote about it on his page on Facebook.

    Since this is only a second hand account of the disinformation denial, I attempted to validate the existence of Catherine Pushkar and her Facebook post. First, allow me to state that Pushkar’s denial of Kokorev’s rank and standing in the Russian Parliament is strongly disputed by the French’s Linkedin account of Kokorev and he is just who he said he is on his former Facebook account. Puschkar’s Facebook identity and her post discrediting Kokorev’s Parliament position and his “mentally ill” status can also be somewhat validated. The attack on Kokorev’s mental status, that is used as a discrediting agent, is not believable.

    From the Facebook page of Kokorev confidant, Polina Hodoroh, I found Pushar’s original statement that served to discredit Kokorev’s claims of who he was in order to erase his mistake of revealing Putin’s intentions. From Hodoroh’s Facebook page:

(Translated by Bing)
      Yesterday at 1:45pm
      Editor’s Note: Hodoroh is referring to photographing the two maps which appear earlier in this story. She accurately anticipated that the Russians would move to scrub the Kokorev account.

    The Pushkar account will not contain the message in which she alleges that Kokorev is mentally ill. That message appeared on the sanitized Kokorev account and it is now gone. However, the Russian media was kind enough to carry that post in the reference listed above.
    Apologies for the burdensome detail associated with this paper trail. However, if the credibility of the Kokorev maps of Russian ambition are to be established, this was necessary. It is quite clear that Putin, at minimum is prepared to take the previously mentioned Eastern European states and this is cross-validated by Biden’s statements made within the last 48 hours about militarizing the Baltic. Putin’s intentions are clearly being anticipated by the United States. But what are Putin’s intentions and designs on Alaska?

    Putin and Alaska

    There was an agreement made over a 150 years ago between Russia and the United States that would have allowed for the United States to transfer a few Islands from American (i.e. Alaskan) hands to Russian possession. However, this agreement was ignored for all this time until the Obama administration became a reality. This Communist bred and communist aided President immediately transferred the ownership of seven strategically located oil-laden Islands to Putin. Here is a map of the Island transfer which was displayed throughout Alaska at the time of the transfer.

    The world has been engaged in a controversy over territorial claims concerning the newly discovered massive mineral deposits near the North Pole. The Russians have invested heavily in Arctic fighting equipment. Please note from the map that five of the Islands position Russia to attack and seize the North Pole. Then please note that two of the Islands are ideally suited for the Russian military to launch a two-pronged attack upon Alaska, from both the northern and southern end of the state.

    If Putin does attack Alaska, after America attacks Syria, it will be done with the complicity of the Obama administration in which “weakness is feigned” by our present and treasonous administration. Please refer to this article and subsequent documentation for the details.
    This previously written article also details how and why Stalin planned to invade Alaska in the 1950′s. The plan was abandoned upon Stalin’s death. The same article details how Obama has compromised Alaskan military defenses and is the fulfillment of a Russian inspired military plan of conquest.

    Conclusion

    The United States is facing an emboldened Putin. The following scenario is emerging as to what the world is going to see as far as the commencement of WW III. The Russians will invade Ukraine. Putin will first try to bribe the nations of Eastern Europe with promises of cheap gas to bring these countries under the control of the Russians without firing a shot. Failing this objective, Putin will annex said countries by rolling in Russian tanks. When any of these countries fight back, WW III will commence. The United States only real viable option will be to open a second front in Syria. This will be followed by an attack upon Alaska by Russian forces who have already prepositioned assets in Alaska right under the eye of the Obama administration.

    It is at this point, that the Chinese intentions will be known. Until now, China has been playing both sides of the fence. However, this is about to end. The moment that the US attacks Syria, the Chinese will play their hand and a depleted American force will be overwhelmed.
    Since my insider military sources have first alluded to the fact that we were going to be invaded and this invasion would be part of an “inside job”, I have lost sleep. There is no hiding that, given the present political climate, this is the path the world will follow on the road to WW III. Can anyone say false flag attack in the near future? And just how the Chinese will interject themselves to this conflict will be made clear in the next part of this series.

    What The Media Doesn’t Want You To Know About Obama’s “Sanctions”

    You'll be surprised to learn who they really help.

    FLOYD BROWNMARCH 20, 2014


    In response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, the Obama administration responded by levying sanctions. The spin machine has been running nonstop at the White House, claiming these are “the toughest sanctions against Russia since the Cold War.”
    But the Russians have responded with sustained laughter. The hapless Obama looked like a robot as he read, “We are imposing sanctions on specific individuals for undermining the sovereignty, territorial integrity and government of Ukraine.”
    He sounded unconvinced as he scolded Putin, saying “We are making it clear that there are consequences for their actions.”
    The truth is that the sanctions are insignificant, and they’ll have no economic impact whatsoever on Putin. But Obama’s earlier decisions make it impossible for him to do more, and they show that the president is in fact more vulnerable than Putin.
    Meanwhile, conservatives aren’t the only ones judging Obama’s response as weak.
    The liberal Washington Post called the sanctions a “slap on the wrist.” The problem is that they only sanction individuals, not institutions or the Russian government itself.
    On the other side of the aisle, FOX News commentator Charles Krauthammer depicted Obama’s reaction as “humiliating.” He rightly told his audience that the Russians were ridiculing Obama while the entire world watches.
    One of the targeted Russians, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, tweeted for all to read, “Comrade Obama, what should those who have neither accounts nor property abroad do? Have you not thought about it?”
    A Policy of Ineptitude
    The real tragedy is that Obama hasn’t thought about it. He doesn’t have a plan.
    The list of targeted individuals was all wrong. Several of the targeted people are actually Putin’s opponents. As Chris Agee from the Western Center for Journalism reported, there’s a real disconnect concerning the people targeted.
    Agee wrote: “Leonid Slutsky and Valentina Matviyenko both held positions of power in Russia until they fell out of favor with Putin. Furthermore, Andrey Klishas is reportedly feuding with a Putin ally. The final Russian official facing U.S. sanctions, Yelena Mizulina, likely made it on the list due to her anti-gay policy positions, rather than any connection to Ukraine policy.”
    And that’s not even the worst part. You see, the sanctions may actually hurt Americans, too, which proves my Obama theorem that “Obama only takes actions that hurt America.”
    Sergey Glazyev, a Putin economic advisor, told the Voice of Russia radio that Russia would have to switch to other currencies to curb its dependence on the U.S. dollar; and sanctions could prevent Russia from repaying loans extended by American banks. “We have wonderful economic and trade relations with our Southern and Eastern partners,” Glazyev emphasized. “We will find a way not just to eliminate our dependence on the U.S. but also profit from these sanctions… Indeed, sanctions are a double-edged weapon, and if the U.S. chooses to freeze our assets, then our equities and liabilities in dollars will also be frozen. This means that our banks and businesses will not return the loans to American partners.”
    The U.S. dollar has remained the world’s reserve currency because it’s used to settle international commercial transactions, especially in the energy markets. But if Russia moves away from the dollar in the sale of commodities and oil, it could roil international markets. If carried out by Putin, these moves could possibly trigger a dollar collapse.
    Obama is economically dependent on foreign money to keep his spending binge going. At the same time, he’s also slashed military spending and left us with little to back up his bellicose statements. In the end, such weakness always empowers a bully like Putin.

    WORLD VIEW: PUTIN'S APPROVAL RATINGS SOAR IN RUSSIA OVER CRIMEA ANNEXATION



    by JOHN J. XENAKIS 21 Mar 2014, 12:03 AM PDT 510 POST A COMMENT
    This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com

    • Putin's approval ratings soar in Russia over Crimea annexation
    • Riots among Palestinians over successor to Abbas
    • Hundreds of dead pig carcasses found in China's Gan River


    Putin's approval ratings soar in Russia over Crimea annexation


    The approval rating of Russia's president Vladimir Putin has soared 15 points since January 1 to 75.7% of Russians supporting him. Putin's political opposition was already pretty dispirited, but the Crimean annexation has permitted Putin to crush the opposition in polling.
    In fact, the Crimea annexation has split the opposition itself. Liberal anti-war groups are calling for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, while leftist movements like the Left Front are joining nationalist forces to demand that Crimea be returned to Russia. This split has allowed Putin to claim that an "absolute majority of Russians" supported the annexation of Crimean, while those who opposed it were "national traitors" acting on behalf of Western countries. Moscow Times

    Riots among Palestinians over successor to Abbas


    With Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas at age 79, many officials in the Palestinian Authority (Fatah) are considering the question of who will be his successor. Abbas is part of the old generation of survivors of the genocidal war between Jews and Arabs that followed the 1947 partitioning of Palestine and the creation of the state of Israel. When Yasser Arafat died in 2004, Abbas was a natural choice to succeed him, because they were both war survivors and shared a common world view. But now the time is approaching for a successor and for a generational change.The major aspirant is 52 year old Mohammed Dahlan. Dahlan grew up poor in a Gaza refugee camp, but as a top aide to Arafat became Gaza's strongman in the 1990s, jailing leaders of rival Hamas which was trying to derail Arafat’s negotiation with Israel through bombing and shooting attacks. Abbas and Dahlan uses to be allies, but the 2008 war between Fatah and Hamas, that made Hamas the governing power in Gaza caused tension between them, until 2011 when Abbas expelled Dahlan completely from Fatah. The bitterness between the two has been growing, and in the last few weeks they've even started calling each other traitors in the resistance to Israel. Abbas has accused Dahlan of involvement in six murders, hinting that he might also be behind the death of former leader and Palestinian icon Yasser Arafat. Dahlan has called Abbas a "catastrophe" for the Palestinian people.
    The vitriolic personal fight is spilling over into the streets. In Gaza City on Tuesday, dozens of Abbas supporters clashed with Dahlan supporters using stones and sticks. The police were called in to separate the two parties.
    In Lebanon, tensions are growing in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp between supporters of the two sides. With the war in Syria spilling over into Lebanon anyway, most Palestinians have followed the lead of Hamas in standing against Syria's president Bashar al-Assad, who is exterminating Sunni women and children. But there is a pro-Assad faction in Ain al-Hilweh who is siding with Abbas. With tensions growing almost daily, there are fears that all out violence could break out any day.

    Hundreds of dead pig carcasses found in China's Gan River


    Chinese officials have pulled hundreds of dead pig carcasses out of the Gan River, in central Jiangxi province. The Gan serves as the main drinking water supply for several large cities, but Chinese officials say they've tested the water and it's still safe for consumption. It's not known where the pig carcasses came from, or why they were disposed of this way.This year's situation seems less severe compared to what happened last year, when there were 16,000 pig carcasses. It was later determined that the pigs were from an upstream farm, which was hit by a common pig virus, porcine circovirus, infecting thousands of livestock. The virus, which is not harmful to humans, was responsible for quickly taking out a huge portion of the farm’s pig population, and the farmers dumped them into the river to dispose of them.

    If you liked the Cuban missile crisis, you'll LOVE this
    Americans who've lost interest in what the Russians are doing in Crimea and Ukraine have just been given a HUGE reason to pay attention again.

    Wait until you see what Putin is puttin' on America's doorstep ...
    WND EXCLUSIVE

    Putin to put Russian bases in Latin America

    Western Hemisphere left wide open by Obama's weakening policies

    Published: 6 hours ago
    F. Michael Maloof

    WASHINGTON – As the world remains riveted on Moscow’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, Russian President Vladimir Putin is shifting gears to Latin America.
    As first outlined by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu last February, Putin now plans to keep the United States off-balance as Moscow sets up actual military bases and massive arms sales in the Latin American region.
    Moscow’s plan follows a recent announcement by Iran to have its warships patrol in waters off the U.S. coast.
    Russia and Iran have stated their increased presence is also in response to U.S. military deployments near their countries, including the eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization up to Russia’s borders.
    The establishment of permanent Russian bases and a major Russian presence in the Western Hemisphere will challenge U.S. policies and threatens to diminish Washington’s influence in the region. At the same time, it will give Moscow a basis to stage offensive weapons in the Western Hemisphere, placing another formidable challenge to U.S. homeland defenses from potential missile threats.
    WND previously has pointed out that the U.S. lacks adequate missile defenses in the Gulf of Mexico from any missile attack from the south. In addition, WND has reported Russia has begun deploying missile-bearing nuclear submarines in the Southern Hemisphere, further accentuating that threat.
    Experts such as former Strategic Defense Initiative Director Ambassador Henry Cooper have argued because of this threat, the U.S. needs to deploy existing Aegis missile defense systems in the southern portion of the U.S.
    Aegis missiles launched either from U.S. Navy ships or from shore are capable of intercepting orbiting nuclear weapons, but the resulting high-altitude explosion could also cause an electromagnetic pulse event.
    An EMP attack, in turn, could knock out the vulnerable U.S. electrical grid system and other critical infrastructures that U.S. society depends. A catastrophic attack lasting months and years, furthermore, has to potential to kill up to 90 percent of the U.S. population through starvation and lack of medical assistance.
    Discover just how significant the EMP threat is in F. Michael Maloof’s “A Nation Forsaken” – autographed! – from the WND SuperStore.
    While published reports say Putin is looking to establish military bases in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, all of whom are close allies of Moscow, WND’s informed sources say the Russian president’s focus will be on Nicaragua, which is relatively politically and economically stable.
    Putin is reportedly concerned with Venezuela’s instability, since it is going through serious economic problems, with demonstrations eroding the support of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
    At the same time, Putin’s strategy eyes Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua – not only for navy port visits, but also for refueling Russian bombers at their air bases.
    This potentially significant increase in Russian military presence in Latin America would give Moscow the ability to undertake combat missions not only in Latin America but also around North America itself.
    Latin American publications already are reporting that the Obama administration is doing little or nothing to counter Russian, Iranian or even Chinese expansion in the region.
    The Obama administration had announced the end of the Monroe Doctrine, a 19th century declaration that stated any efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression, requiring U.S. intervention.
    Last November in a speech before the Organization of American States in Washington, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced, “The era of the Monroe Doctrine is over. … The relationship that we seek and that we have worked hard to foster is not about a United States declaration about how and when it will intervene in the affairs of other American states.”
    In referencing any threat from European powers, Kerry said, “We should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere.”
    Kerry’s declaration on behalf of the Obama administration, however, didn’t take into account U.S. adversaries setting up bases in the Western Hemisphere at the invitation of countries in the region.
    Russian press reports justify Putin’s decision as power projection and improving its image abroad.
    “Russia has started reviving its navy and strategic aviation since the mid-2000s, seeing them as a tool to project the Russian image abroad and to protect its national interests around the globe,” RIA Novosti said. “Now, Moscow needs to place such military assets in strategically important regions of the world to make them work effectively toward the goal of expanding Russia’s global influence.”
    “Little doubt remains that Moscow believes that the region of Latin America can play a growing role in world affairs and has expanding mutual interests with Russia to check U.S. power,” asserts Russian expert Stephen Blank of the Washington-based Jamestown Foundation.
    In terms of arms sales, Blank says Putin is looking to Brazil to buy fighter aircraft and surface-to-air missile systems.
    “If successful, this would mark a step toward creating a group of industrialized countries that employ Russian designs and design bureaus for creating their own military hardware, thereby making the Russian defense sector more secure, pervasive and particularly significant in high tech areas,” Blank said.
