Does Putin want war with the west?

Question

Is Putin looking for a large scale conflict with the USA?

Answer 1

Yes. Putin is the modern Hitler with his popularity dependent on invading neighbors to restore the lost Soviet empire. He lost touch with reality.



As the great Winston Churchill said "Fascism will return in the guise of anti fascism"

Answer 2

No

Russia has a lot of vested interests in the likes of Crimea that they want to protect

Banning Russian as a second language of course wouldn't have exactly gone down well with those in the Crimea so I wouldn't be surprised if the people there are glad this happened

I don't seem them trying to rebuild another USSR though

Answer 3

No - he just has an opportunity to take Crimea back under his fold, and why pass up an opportunity, if the people of Crimea in majority want to be under his protection?

Answer 4

Putin just wants secure borders and allies within those borders.

Answer 5

No of course he doesn't, but you underestimate Russia and its people at your peril, at the height of WW2 Russia was losing people by the million and yet Russia still fought on, these are a people who every winter endure such low temperatures we can't even imagine it, -20 -30 -40, you take these people on at your peril so be under no illusion, win or lose we'd know we'd had one hell of a fight



Loyalty, we here in the west don't understand its meaning, who's to say that in a conflict the people we think want shot of Russia wouldn't actually turn and fight for Russia, loyalty especially the loyalty that stretches back countless generations cannot be as easily dismissed for these people as it is in the west.

Answer 6

Of course not.

Putins intention is to stabilise a country in close proximity to Russia & do it quick.

Answer 7

Nope, Putin is just policing his backyard, something NATO, and the US are doing in Mali, and the Central African Republic too.



He's simply making sure the Russian majority in Crimea doesn't get railroaded by the West-Ukrainians that overthrew the government in Kiev.

Answer 8

No , but it seems that America does. No body gains in a war except those who bring it about and stay around like the Peace Maker who is saddened.

Answer 9

No, its the other way around, the WEST wants the war with Putin. More specifically, the satanic banking cabal that owns the west does.

Answer 10

He has said he doesnt,and of course he doesnt. He is only trying to protect the Ethnic Russians in the Crimea who want to remain Russian as we protect the people in Gibraltar and the Falklands. A few weeks ago we observed with horror the fighting and deaths in Ukraine Enclosed a link to a BBC story which will explain more. The west should support Putin in his good work..

Answer 11

No, he says he wants to protect Russian citizens and Russian interests. Just like the USA claimed to be doing when they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. What's good for the goose

Answer 12

Nope, but the West is making war on Putin. Hence the Western media and governments' spinning of his defensive actions falsely as aggression.

Answer 13

Putin is not stupid enough to want a war he has no chance of winning against the west.........



But Putin is a megalomaniac, whose only interest is power.......



He does not give a sh!t about his people in Crimea......he doesn't care about them in Russia either.....



This is about power, nothing more............



The sooner Putin dies, the safer the world will be.....!

Answer 14

he's got the dead eyes of a washed up wet mackerel. an ex NKVD boss too. the guy is trouble sure enough..

Answer 15

no but I think there is some thing bigger going on what I don't know

Answer 16

no Putin is not the aggressor



US EU UN are the aggressors - they backed a coup that employed neo Nazis terrorising the people of Ukraine ?



Crimea didn't want the same happening there so they organised a civilian army to patrol borders so as to stop neo nazi thugs entering and doing the same to Crimea



can you blame them?

Answer 17

No; he isn't an idiot.
