Moscow orders officials: ‘Get your children out of foreign schools and back to Russia’

One expert said the measure was in preparation for a ‘big war’, the Znak.com Russian news outlet reported.

High-level Russian officials have been told that their children studying abroad must return home as a standoff between Moscow and the West deepens.

Administration staff, lawmakers and employees of public corporations have also been told any other relatives they have living overseas must return to the “motherland”, sources told the Russian news outlet Znak.com. Political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky said the order would be a blow to the elite as many of them have children who are educated abroad.

“It is all part of a packet of measures to prepare the elite for some kind of ‘big war’, even if the order is rather arbitrary,” he said according to Znak.com.

“On the other hand, it is another blow to the unity of President Vladimir Putin and his elites,” he added.

Relations between Moscow and the West have slumped even further after Russia cancelled a nuclear disarmament pact with the US, and a meeting Putin was supposed to have the French leader Francois Hollande in Paris was cancelled.

On Wednesday (13 October), Russia’s military tested a nuclear-capable rocket from its submarine in the Sea of Okhotsk, near Japan. Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported a Topol missile was shot from a submarine in the Barents Sea and a third was also launched inland.

Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmuş said proxy wars in the Middle East between the US and Russia could lead to a world-wide conflict. He told the state-run Anadolou News Agency that the Syrian civil war is on the brink of becoming a “wider regional war”.

In addition, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed claims by the US that Russia was trying to influence the US presidential election with cyber attacks, telling CNN that Moscow “interfering in the United States domestic matters is ridiculous”.

Russia’s regional influence

Meanwhile, a US research group has said that Russia has mounted campaign to manipulate five countries in central and eastern Europe, discredit the West’s liberal democratic model, and undermine trans-Atlantic ties.

The report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies released on Thursday (13 October) said Moscow had tried to gain influence over governments in Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Serbia, and Slovakia.

“In certain countries, Russian influence has become so pervasive and endemic that it has challenged national stability as well as a country’s Western orientation and Euro-Atlantic stability,” said the report, titled the Kremlin Playbook

:rofl: Unlike the US (and other countries) of course.

As an aside, last night I was reading about gas pipeline projects running through Syria to Europe. Look at the players on each side of that. Interesting.

No offense, snake

But this is news from last week and it's in the "Will Russia and US go to war thread" in the Speaker's Corner.

Aleppo you blind moron.

Cementing a Cold War stance only continues to strengthen Putin's political footing.

All chest pounding (or shoe) and little else.

Putin is positioning but I believe he is serious when voicing concern over the missiles in Romania.

Mods, move this dupe thread before I start kicking your fucking asses.

The whole thing is scaremongering by the US for the sheeple who are being led to believe there is an enemy out there that is preparing to attack them and Russia is the obvious choice to scare people who have been brainwashed to believe they are still in a state of cold war with Russia.

Take this for instance :

World War Three will be 'extremely lethal': US Army bosses prediction for terrifying war with Russia or China - Mirror Online

Read it carefully and you will see for yourself. It starts off :

Quote:

---

With tensions high over Syria and increasing attacks from terrorists, the threat of war is never far away.
And now, US military bosses have revealed how they think a war between the world's most powerful countries would play out.
They say the threat from Russia, the growing military strength of China and climate change could be factors which lead America into World War Three.
And they say any future conflict would be “extremely lethal and fast” with a war between two powerful countries “almost guaranteed”.

---

"The threat of war is never far away"

War is no closer than the USA Makes it.

"and climate change could be factors which lead America into World War Three"

"Climate change could be a factor ?"

Got to get in a plug for climate change, How could it led to war ?

“almost guaranteed”

Crap to scare the sheeple.

Quote:

---

He said China and Russia are building huge armies which rely increasingly on technology.

---

And the US isnt relying more and more on Technolgy ? Unmanned drones ?

Quote:

---

And he admitted this is forcing military chiefs to prepare for “violence on the scale that the US Army has not seen since Korea".

---

Translation : We need more money.

Then it goes on with bullshit about Syria where the US is refusing to get their so called Moderate Rebels" out of Aleppo because having them there makes great propaganda "Look what big bad Russia is Doing".

And finishes off with :

Quote:

---

Russia has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world with 8,400 warheads compared to 7,500 in America.

---

They fail to mention the Russian Nukes are in Russia while the US nukes are all over the place including those on subs and ships, counting those Russia will be pretty much ringed with US nukes.

Oh yes "Compared to 7500 in America" Is that only counting those actually in America ?

Then there are things like these :

'Russia could invade Poland overnight' says US think tank | Daily Mail Online

Russia could invade Europe within 48 hours, warns ex-military chief | The Independent

World War 3: Russia could declare war 'overnight' and invade 'within hours' in the Baltic | Daily Star

Russia could, Russia might all blatant scaremongering, makes me wonder why ? Is the US really contemplating war with Russia, do they think they could do it without massive damage to their own country and Europe.

As for the OP, have Russia got wind of an attack plan against them ? We are told by the US that Russia is spying on them which is completely unfair as the US are the only country that can spy on others.

Just come across another load of scaremongering crap :

More a defensible land route from NE Russia, SE Asia across all of Asia from the Arctic to the Indian ocean, from the Pacific to the Atlantic Lisbon. Keeping all away from any coastal interference some others might want to instigate. The old gun boats threatening to shell the riverside palace ploy will not work if they cant get to the shore under a air protection zone. Any use or threat of ICBMs has been nullified.

The crusader coalition are continuing their bullying to no success, the new kids on the block are trying a more inclusive way. Who knows who the ultimate winner will be the black guys or the white guys.

If Russia really thinks or plans a real war with USA perhaps good idea to get em back and cash in so they can enjoy last 4 minutes in 'mother Russia"

on principle I have no wish to post in any thread started by mr vapidity

Two British warships are shadowing an aircraft carrier and other Russian naval ships as they pass the UK on their way to Syria.
The carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and its task force are on a course to sail through the North Sea and English Channel.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said the ships would be "man-marked every step of the way" while near UK waters.
However, Nato said Russia had the right to operate in international waters.

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2016/10/676.jpg

It comes amid heightened tension between Russia and Nato.
"We will be watching as part of our steadfast commitment to keep Britain safe," Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said.
The Ministry of Defence said at about 13:00 BST that the Russian task force was "in the middle of the North Sea heading southwards" - at that stage it was understood to be about 100 miles (160km) off Edinburgh.

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2016/10/677.jpg

Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan sailed from Portsmouth on Tuesday to track the Kuznetsov group as it headed south from the Norwegian Sea, escorted by the Type 23 frigate HMS Richmond.
Analysis
By Jonathan Marcus, BBC defence and diplomatic correspondent
If, as anticipated, the Admiral Kuznetsov and its task force are heading for the eastern Mediterranean, this will be the first ever combat deployment for Russia's only aircraft carrier.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman says that the Russian flotilla - currently in the North Sea - could pass through the Strait of Dover as early as Thursday evening, though it could be significantly delayed if the carrier conducts flight operations or has to stop to refuel.
Two of the Russian vessels carry land attack cruise missiles and the carrier has an unknown number of aircraft on board.
These will enhance Russia's firepower off Syria but this is above all a demonstration of force projection; a signal from Moscow that it can deploy its military might when and where it chooses.

Passing through the English Channel is not breaking any maritime law.
They passed so close to my home, it's so scary, lucky our RN kept an eye on them. Kept them in their place, as we do.

A well timed accident piercing the Chunnel could fling two turds with one bone

For all the criticism of the US of A, one must feel sorry for them at times. Imagine trying to deal with outside aggression from Russia who wants to be in charge of the sand box, China that believe its their right to be in charge of the sand box and all the muslims that believe god gave them the sand box and their going to kill everyone to prove it.
Then there is the US allies. Europe with 751 MPs, a parliament full of Neville chamberlains running around and bumping in to each other waving pieces of paper yelling peace in our time as Russia bites off another chunk of the sand box. At least the Ozzies will be falling over themselves to join the US apart from "sorry, we just need to clear it with Beijing mining corporation first". The kiwis will follow suit providing someone can supply transport to get there by a non nuclear powered carbon neutral conveyance. Whilst in Old Blitey, The UK Islamic Council will give permission providing only Christians are killed, Theresa will confer with Jeremy who will agree providing no one is actually killed and the Russian soldiers have a reasonable pension plan.

^ What you are saying seems to be that everybody is doing what they feel best for their own country's interests and don't want to be dictated by the USA.

Idiot, who threatened who the first?

we should embrace Russia effort for a new world order,

the old system is dead, time for the US to retire with all their expensive toys, which proved to be useless in a war since they lost 2 in less than 2 decades

^The arms manufactures did rather well out of all the so called "wars" though! along with others!

If there is a war with Russia the election fiasco would off course be "delayed" wouldn't that be shame!

Of course "we" should. Abolish the UN, scrap the EU, dump NATO in the rubbish bin of history, bring home all US military, let the European countries defend themselves, dump all trade agreements with US and leave Putin alone to establish his new world order. Think of the benefits to Europe. Millions of new jobs in the Euro defense industry and huge influx of big spending TRFLers (Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language) to France.

Vote Trump. :)
