Russia is broke, but had displayed his new weapons to the new buyers. Please send inquiries. What was the point of adding to the killing then? Over 250,000 dead and now he wants a political solution? Weird!
Meaning the pull out is a feint to overtly suck in sunni powers into conflict. Putin may actually desire that the Russian efforts to preserve their interests and turn around conflict has reached a stability point that a political settlement must move forward. But if sunni powers seek to exploit this pull back... All bets are off. That is my read of the situation.
Sunni rebel war effort collapsing?
With their endless financing & flow of fanatical recruits, they simply pull back, re-equip, and jump back at it.
No real rest for the Russians.
7. Russia does not issue warnings lightly. Action is very
(03.15.16)
likely when a warning from Russia is given. North Korea has been warned by Vladimir Putin to stop lobbing missiles over Japan into the ocean and other terrorizing tactics. A North Korean submarine is missing and the US does not know where it is since BO shut down the submarine tracking system early in his first term of office. North Korea's madman leader has threatened EMP attacks on the USA and to nuke NYC with a hydrogen bomb. The EMP attack is quite likely. FEMA estimates that within a year of an EMP attack on the USA that puts out the electrical grid and fiber optics so the vehicles don't run and the computers don't work, etc. it will take about a year for 90% of the US population to be dead. So don't fly if you can avoid it until that NK sub is located and its intentions are determined. Don't drive far from home, either. But if you do, have a fold up bike in the trunk to get home on.
