World War 3 warning: Putin says no more games, Russia nuclear arms top US nation

Is World War 3 between Russia and the U.S. simply hearsay, or an actual threat the American nation should be prepared for in the coming years? Info Wars News shares this Friday, November 14, 2014, that Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently made it very clear he is done with the games between the West nations and the East. Strains have been present for decades now regarding the past Soviet Union and America, but with foreign nuclear arms numbers purportedly topping those of the U.S., these tensions are a “warning” to be kept in mind.

Vladimir Putin appears determined to prevent World War 3 from occurring, but only if the “playtime” between Russia and the U.S. comes to an immediate end, states the press release. Putin gave a powerful speech several weeks ago that left many wondering the political leader’s next move was. Of his many points, the foreign President declared that Russia would no longer be mistreated by the U.S. nation, and that the West should be aware of the East’s nuclear power.

The U.S. State Department confirmed this 2014 that as of this autumn season, overall numbers Russian nuclear weapons and atomic arms may very well top U.S. warheads. The prevailing sentiment that Russia is continually “weaker” than the American nation and NATO at large, adds the report, is nothing but a legend. A Russian political newspaper, Pravda, calls the claim a falsehood “made up in the 90’s under the influence of Boris Yeltsin and his betrayal of Russian national interests.” Pravda asserts that Russia in fact exceeds NATO in terms of potential strength and tactics. Adds the Inquisitir:

“The superiority of modern-day Russia over NATO is even stronger [in the context of] nuclear weapons … To date, NATO countries have only 260 tactical nuclear weapons in the ETO. The United States has 200 bombs with a total capacity of 18 megatons. They are located on six air bases in Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey. France has 60 more atomic bombs. That is pretty much it. Russia, according to conservative estimates, has 5,000 pieces of different classes of TNW – from Iskander warheads to torpedo, aerial and artillery warheads! The US has 300 tactical B-61 bombs on its own territory, but this does not change the situation against the backdrop of such imbalance.”

A serious warning of World War 3 not being expressed by the American media is a problem in and of itself, but Info Wars contends that news sources are also failing to tell the people that the Russian economy is currently suffering due to Western sanctions. These financial sanctions came about as a result of Crimea’s annexation earlier this 2014. As Putin has pointed out, the banking system of the West has directly damaged the financial holdings of many Russian figures, primarily stakeholders and business officials. He also accused America of being "late" on trying to counter terrorism.

Allegations that the U.S. was even looking to undermine the Russian leader’s $40 billion fortune were also made. As a final blow, says the report, America joined together with other nations in the West to restrict trade on Russia’s commerce system, which made their economic situation suffer even further. As a result, it is speculated that this mounting issue, among others, could serve as the primary reason Vladimir Putin may use to prompt the citizens of Russia to unite in “hatred” against the West, especially the U.S. nation. Before even considering a nuclear World War 3, political and social tensions between our countries would likely escalate first to a breaking point.

The report makes clear to mention that the Americans should pause before suddenly laying the blame on Russia or Putin in particular, however. While the foreign leader is no doubt interested in establishing Russia as a world superpower once more, it also argues that his recent speech reaffirming that the former Soviet Union would no longer play games with the U.S. stems from valid issues. The Ukraine crisis is only one (albeit major) factor in the global situation.

As was the case in the previous World Wars, the onset of World War 3 comes with its own detailed set of warnings, controversies, and “roadmaps,” concludes the source site. The issues are complex and valid on both sides, but the possibility of another great war — this time with the devastating power of nuclear weapons at hand — must be taken seriously and handled carefully.
