It really frustates me to read propaganda like this as many people will believe this rubbish and take it for fact, when it isn't, it's a distorted version of events spun to cast Russia as the evil empire.
Utter tosh..................

I agree with you, it's a stupid cliche to cast Russia as the bad guy, that's the narrative that the US has promoted for the last century and everything it does is in opposition to the Russian Federation. They don't trust each other, yes, they swagger and posture politically to try and intimidate each other, yes, but they're not about to start bombing each other. The stakes are too high. The real threat will come from countries with enough bite to cause a stir (North Korea, Iran, groups like ISIS, the Al-Qaeda, the Taliban...) but nothing to lose. Russia and the USA have a lot to lose, which is why they'll never go to war with one another again (unless something drastic occurs) - that article is pure anti-Russian fear mongering drivel. It's not nonsense per se, the guy makes good points, but they're totally misguided and come from a very biased, perhaps uneducated, Americanised point of view.
I remember my mum saying 9/11 would lead to World War III. At the time I thought she was wrong because while it was deeply shocking, it wasn't an act of war from an enemy state. The events of the last 14 years, however, have led us to a point where we really are dangerously close to falling into World War III. I really wish Scotland had become independent, I do not want to be sucked into World War III by any of those pillocks down in Westminster. I've still never forgiven what Tony Blair did to this country, dragging us into Iraq. I could honestly go on for days and days about this subject but I'll shut up now... I have a lot of thoughts and no one cares to listen to me
