His comments came a week after Russia said Sept. 2 it would review the doctrine <http://rt.com/news/184376-russia-military-doctrine-nato/>, in response to NATO announcing its intentions to expand in Eastern Europe amid Ukrainian crisis. ‘Ukrainian crisis provoked by the West to resuscitate NATO’ Speaking about the situation in Ukraine, Putin blamed Western countries for the bloody conflict in the southeastern regions of the country. *“Recently, as you know, NATO has decided to build up its forces in Eastern Europe. The crisis in Ukraine, which was, in fact, provoked and created by some of our Western partners, is now used for the resuscitation of this military bloc,"* he said. All the actions Russia is taking are retaliatory measures of self-defense, Putin said. *“We have been repeatedly saying, warning that we will have to, exactly have to, take appropriate retaliatory measures to ensure our security,”* Putin said. *“We have said many times that it would be very desirable to avoid excessive hysterics when these decisions will be finally accepted and will be implemented. I want to emphasize that everything we do, is only retaliatory measures,”* he added. At the end of August, NATO announced its plans <http://rt.com/news/183064-nato-rasmussen-europe-russia/> to bring its forces closer to Russian borders, specifically to the three Baltic States – Latvia <http://rt.com/news/185692-nato-military-drills-latvia/>, Lithuania and Estonia – as the situation in Ukraine showed no signs of improvement. NATO’s expansion was the key topic <http://rt.com/uk/184956-nato-summit-wales-2014/> of discussions at the alliance’s summit <http://rt.com/uk/184944-nato-summit-live-updates/> in Wales at the end of last week. Russia warned that NATO’s progress towards the east and Ukraine, which the military bloc sees as a potential member <http://rt.com/news/184845-ukraine-obama-nato-membership/>, will trigger a strong reaction. 'We will react to NATO build-up!' Key Putin quotes from defense policy address <http://rt.com/news/174768-putin-security-nato-ukraine/> In July, Putin said that NATO’s military build-up near Russia’s borders, which includes the US-built missile defense system, is not just for defensive purposes, but is an *“offensive weapon”* and an *“element of the US offensive system deployed outside the mainland.”* Responding to NATO’s intentions last week, Russia’s envoy to the alliance, Aleksandr Grushko, indicated that this will be *“taken into consideration”* in Russia’s military planning. 2.9K4485 by Taboola <http://www.taboola.com/en/popup?template=colorbox&taboola_utm_source=rt-rtcom&taboola_utm_medium=bytaboola&taboola_utm_content=alternating-thumbnails-a:Below%20Article%20Thumbnails:> Promoted Links <http://www.taboola.com/en/popup?template=colorbox&taboola_utm_source=rt-rtcom&taboola_utm_medium=bytaboola&taboola_utm_content=alternating-thumbnails-a:Below%20Article%20Thumbnails:> You May Like <http://rt.com/news/174768-putin-security-nato-ukraine/>'We will react to NATO build-up!'

There is no way Russia can compete in any arms race with either the EU or US, much less both combined. It just is not economically possible, so better off not to try. 2 minutes ago <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#mc-13017555>Reply <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> - <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#>Lilly OfTheValley <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> +2 <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13017323/vote/up> <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13017323/vote/down> What has NATO done to Russia? Not a darn thing. EXCEPT, allow free thinking countries, tired of communist or Russian rule, to govern themselves through democracy; to use, I know I'm gonna hear it for this one, capitalism as a way to get their citizens as a way to engage their economy and be productive and finally, to join NATO and get out from under the Russian thumb. None of former USSR countries, that Russia took over by force after the 2nd world war, to my knowledge, has threatened or slighted Russia in any way. NATO has not threatened Russia. 6 minutes ago <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#mc-13017323>Reply <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> - <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#>Lilly OfTheValley <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> -1 <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13017155/vote/up> <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13017155/vote/down> The so-called Nuland evidence consists of a phone call where she expressed preferences among the Ukrainian opposition and a speech where she mentioned that the US has given $5 billion to Ukrainian NGOs from 1992-2014. That has been misrepresented as Nuland spending $5 billion to pick the Maidan government. NATO is a defensive alliance that is composed of members that have freely chosen to join. There is nothing aggressive about its expansion. If Putin is afraid of NATO, he needs to see a shrink. 10 minutes ago <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#mc-13017155>Reply <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> - <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#>gerald geaf <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> 0 <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13017386/vote/up> <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13017386/vote/down> What was NATO defending in Libya and now in Syria?

The US clearly has no direction and has been terrorizing the world trying to find its place and purpose as it flails away with one failure after the other, Russia is doing the smart thing, protect itself and its interests from the village idiot while moving forward leaving the idiot and the like to burn out. 12 minutes ago <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#mc-13017078>Reply <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> - <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#>Mac Mickey <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> +1 <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13016982/vote/up> <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13016982/vote/down> The western nations are all subservient to international bankers which had taken over control of their state central banks. This was the reason for the two world wars. Ask yourself why would a country have to borrow money at interest when they have their own national treasury department? Its globalization of international bankers at any human cost. There are a few countries left which do have control of their own state central bank, like Russia. When Russian businesses borrow money at interest from their state own central bank, the interest goes back into the Russian national coffers. If Russia lost control of their central bank, and international banks gained control, then the interest on loans would go off shore outside of the country. Of course Russia would have to tax their population to make these interest payments to off shore international bankers. Now why would they want to do that... pay interest on debt to foreign international bankers, just like the Americans and European slaves do? If Russia were to take on international loans to run their government, they would quickly be in debt owing trillions. Russia may have to use their vast natural resources, and the ability to tax their population as collateral, which the IMF requires from other nations greatly in debt to the IMF or World Bank. The international bankers have no choice but to force the nations they control by horrendous debt, to overthrow the Russian government, and take over Russia's central bank. Now they can exploit the Russian people by forcing them into becoming debt slaves to these foreign bankers, and work them to death to pay back loans which they had nothing to do with, and can never pay off in their life time... or their children's life time. Our future... perpetual debt slaves forever. All this... only for some globalist bankers, owned by Family Trust Funds, so they can live in a vast stately residence... and buy their little girl a pony on her birthday. 13 minutes ago <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#mc-13016982>Reply <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> - <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#>mega-fidel <http://rt.com/news/186712-putin-russia-arms-race/#> -3 <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13016832/vote/up> <http://b.cackle.me/comment/13016832/vote/down> Enough, the shills are out.
