Why is Russian President "Putin" talking about world war 3 ??

[BADecker]

Trump Hammers NATO. Good! Let's Get Out!

President Donald Trump started his European tour with a bang, accusing Germany of hyping the Russian threat to get US protection while sending billions of dollars to Russia for its oil. The Europeans are not amused. Fasten your seat belts!

He is talking because he believes Russia is in a very fragile spot where other countries are constantly waging war and setting bases along their borders so Putin believes he needs to avoid World War 3 but won't step down if he deems it necessary.

Albert's quote sounded very beautiful at the conference.
Indeed, if there is a 3rd World War, then the 4th will be with sticks in hand.
I think the 3rd World War will not start in the next 50 years

Russian federation about to collapse again?

I don't really understand the need for you to put "Putin" in quotes but in any case. People do have to understand that the only way Putin is going to be able to make his people happy is by making them feel like Putin is this strong leader who's able to bully the countries around him (and other powers) into listening and caving to him. Crimea had nothing about the land, it was about gaining the support of the Russian people through winning something EASILY.

He's someone that is just trying to make his people happy, and while he's without a doubt misguided in the way he's going about it, it does look as if it's working (if the polls that they release aren't coerced, of course)

I suppose that due putting Putin`s name in quotes one may suppose that it is not only him that actually makes decisions, but the whole secret body or an organization that defines what to say and how to act while the president just presents it to the public. Conspiracy theory here, but far from impossible to my mind.

Vladimir Putin was about three days ago saying that Russians who die in a Nuclear War are going to be Martyrs and would be going to heaven and this has indeed brought fear to a lot people. Why the sudden talk of Nuclear War all of a sudden.

Russia takes quite weird position thinking that the whole world is against it. It is, however, the other way around: Russia itself is against the world seeing every opposing country as an enemy.
Russian government feels vulnerable, that's the reason for such aggressive and bizarre statements. I only hope that these statements will remain just words used in political discussion and will never come true. Fallout vibes are great only in a computer game.
The saddest part is that many people fall to propaganda of mutual hatred. If you remember the World Cup in Russia last summer, the situation is quite the opposite. There seems to be no hatred among common people, although hatred is created and stimulated by government's agenda.

It’s called propaganda. He wants people to be scared

Yes. It certainly is. As if the world does not have any problems. He is creating another one.

I think there is nothing wrong with two super powers always at each others throat. It in some ways balances out the threat of just one super power..

I don't see Russia being anymore of a threat than America if you have oil.
We have to respect the fact the methods in which Russia speaks about war is direct, whilst America will always disguise their war mongering as freedom fighting, liberating...

The world and its capitalist resource based economy is more connected than ever before, we all work and live in different countries and we all have business which expands our own boarders.. I don't think a globally connected world needs to have a WW3, if you wanted to cripple the west you could do it by just crashing/hacking the whole NY, UK stock markets.

Our cyber existence is our WW3 battleground. IMHO

Yep, I'm aware of what's going on. My point was that statements like this are made not exactly by Putin / Trump / whoever else, but prepared by some group of people that decide what they should say. As I see it, it is not their personal opinion - they`re just public figures that say what they're required to say.

Agreed - there will not be WWIII as we imagine it to be, as it's going on right now - in cyberspace and covert operations. The governments are well aware how people will react if war is officially declared, at the same time they just can't ignore each other.

War has indeed changed, and modern conventional military force is residual, as it can work in its older fashion only when deployed in the developing countries. Superpowers are not for open confrontation apart from mutual accusations and argument - people at power aren't fools, they understand the possible outcome of total (nuclear) war.

Statements like Putin's are just very loud and aggressive words that have only propagandistic value.

I hope so.

I think it is necessary to clarify the situation a bit.
Firstly, there will be no nuclear war because every Russian official (I mean EVERY) has real estate in the US or his kids studying in the US or his money in the US banks or his ex-wife lives in the US and I can continue.
Secondly, everything Putin says is designed for the local public. All this is solely to distract people from real problems.

And it works perfectly - using the image of the external enemy/competitor to distract people from the country's internal problems never fails.
