Russia’s President Putin responded to what he considers to be USA provocation for an arms race:
June 16, 2015
Russian President Vladimir Putin says more than 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) will be added to the country’s nuclear arsenal this year.
Addressing the opening of the Russian Defense Ministry’s Army-2015 international military expo near Moscow on Tuesday, Putin said the new missiles “will be able to overcome any, even the most technologically advanced anti-missile defense systems.”
According to the U.S. State Department, Russia currently has 515 deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and heavy bombers, carrying a total of 1,582 nuclear warheads.
The Russian president’s comments came amid heightened tensions between Russia and NATO countries over the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and they follow Western press reports that the United States is planning to permanently station heavy American weaponry and troops in Eastern Europe and the Baltic states.
Asked about Mr. Putin’s comments, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels on Tuesday that they simply confirmed “the pattern and the behavior of Russia over quite a period of time,” including an increase in what he called “nuclear rhetoric.”
“This nuclear saber-rattling of Russia is unjustified,” he said. “It’s destabilizing and it’s dangerous. And this is something which we are addressing, and it’s also one of the reasons we now are increasing the readiness and preparedness of our forces.”
Asked about the U.S. plan to preposition military hardware and personnel in Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, the NATO chief welcomed efforts to protect allies.
Commenting on those reports Monday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the plan to preposition military hardware and personnel is “still in the early stages of the policy making process, but is consistent with strategy that we have previously pursued.” President Barack Obama, he said, is “serious” about upholding the U.S. commitment to defend its NATO allies.
Russia claims no alternative
Russia’s Foreign Ministry also commented on the planned deployments, warning that such a move could provoke a military confrontation with “dangerous consequences.” Earlier Monday, Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted senior Russian defense ministry official General Yuri Yakubov as saying that the plan, if put into action, would be “the most aggressive step by the Pentagon and NATO since the Cold War of the last century,” and that Russia would have no alternative other than to “build up its forces and means in the western strategic direction.”
On Saturday, the New York Times quoted unnamed U.S. officials who said the plan was aimed at countering further Russian aggression following Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula.
According to the newspaper, if the plan is approved by U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and President Obama, the U.S. will store fighting vehicles and position as many as 5,000 troops in Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Poland and possibly Hungary. All seven countries are NATO members.
In May, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia called on NATO to permanently station troops on their territory in order to deter Russia.
Poland said Sunday the plan would place battle tanks and other equipment on its soil. Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said he discussed the plan with U.S. military officials in Washington last month and was assured a decision would be made soon.
US lawmakers supportive
Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers from both parties told VOA they support plans to boost America’s presence in Eastern Europe.
“I agree (with the move). I visited with the president of Lithuania last August, and I know that they are quite concerned, because of the aggressiveness of Putin along their border, along with the significant Russian population that each of the Baltic states have, particularly Estonia,” said Democratic Senator Bill Nelson. “I think it’s a legitimate concern.” http://www.voanews.com/content/reu-putin-russia-nuclear-arsenal/2824374.html
The Bible does not tell of a massive war between the Russians and the Americans, but USA politicians rarely base decisions on biblical prophecies.
I have warned for some time that the USA is preparing for major conflicts with the Russians and the the Chinese that the Bible does not foretell of. This, in my opinion, is making the USA vulnerable for an enemy that will develop.
I would state that there is a chance that Russia will ultimately use many of those 40 new ICBMs, and that would be against Europe (cf. Daniel 11:44-45; Isaiah 13:1-8).
Many would be surprised to realize that the Bible warns that military friends/allies of the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies will turn against them and become enemies:
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)
The USA and Great Britain (including its Anglo-Commonwealth members, like Australia and Canada) were “great among the nations.” And the Bible is clear that betrayal is coming from national FRIENDS!
More about Europe’s role in the coming destruction can be found in the articles Europa, the Beast, and Revelation and Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel, as well as yesterday’s post USA looking to provide heavy weaponry to Eastern Europe: deterrent to Russia or preparation for disaster?
The USA provoking Russia, while considering more arms for Europe, will not result in lasting peace. The Bible says a war is coming that will result in the end of the USA and its lands (Daniel 11:39).
