One of the major powers: Russia

The resurrection of the Soviet Union is underway. Pres. Putin (former KGB) is consolidating power much like Stalin did with the motto: “No man, no problem” Journalist and Industrialist are dropping left and right and now it appears another former KGB man, Alexander Litvinenko has been assassinated but in a much more public way. The radio active poison is so rare that it is obvious and therefore on purpose.

Litvinenko said of Putin:
“(you have) no respect for life, liberty or any civilized value.” and he added,”you have shone yourself to be unworthy of your office, to be unworthy of the trust of civilized men and women.”

Putin shows this lack of respect by continuing to defy world opinion and not only help but advance the Iranian nuclear projects. The latest will happen in December when their head of the Russian nuclear agency will visit Iran. Of course he will feel protected because Russia is deploying Tor-M1 around those nuclear sites. These are air defense missiles that can track 48 targets and fire on 2 at once.

Russia under Putin’s leadership is leading down a road that is not good for anyone, including Russia. The Soviet Union fell because it was not connected to the world; it fell because he brutalized those under its control. The former soviet satellites will not go for this now. Its connection to the world is still needed and this road will lead to its disconnection and ultimately its demise, again.
