A
(well anonymized) anonymous reader sent me a very interesting link
today. It is an opinion piece by Strobe Talbott for Reuters entitled "In 2015, Vladimir Putin may witness his empire’s death knell" in which Talbott predicts that:
Of course, this does not at all mean that they will succeed.
In fact, I am quite sure that there is zero chance of overthrowing Kadyrov, nevermind of Chechnia breaking away from Russia. If only because there is overwhelming evidence that the Chechen people want nothing to do with Wahabi terrorists and that they in fact form a very strong power base for Putin. Not only that, but Russia truly has formidable military capabilities in and around Chechnia. They keep a low profile and do not get involved in law enforcement or counter-insurgency operations, but only because the Chechens handle these tasks superbly. But make no mistake, Russia can flush at least 100'000 highly trained, motivated and superbly equipped men into Chechnia drawn from the 58th Army of course, but also from various special forces, Internal Ministry and State Security troops.
The weak link in the Russian Caucasus in Dagestan and the border with nearby Georgia from which attacks could come. Could the US at the very least rekindle the Wahabi insurgency (possibly supported by Nazi units from the Ukraine)? Yes, of course. But their chances to succeed in anything more than one or several truly ugly terrorist attacks are very, very slim.
I think that Talbott probably understands that, but he just cannot help by daydream out loud being, as he no doubt is, aware that if Russia prevails in her defense against the AngloZionist Empire this will mean the end for the latter.
The US deep state is simply saturated with russophobia, phobia in both the sense of "hate" and "fear", and so it should. Just like all the other western invaders of Russia in the past, the AngloZionist Empire has completely cornered the Russian Bear which now has to fight for its very survival. Neither side will back down and only one will prevail. And my money is not on the US, neither is Talbott's, at least now deep down. He must realize that the writing is on the wall. Hence the hate and the fear.

The year ahead could see the outbreak of the third Chechen war, which, in turn, could be the death knell of the Russian Federation in its current borders. (...) For the past five years, the situation has been more or less quiescent, though neighboring republics have been rocked by violence. The lull in Chechnya, however, ended in early December with a series of bloody incidents in the Chechen capital of Grozny. The group behind the resurgence of unrest is advocating a “Caucasus Caliphate,” with ties to al Qaeda and, more recently, Islamic State. There is at least an indirect tie between outside support for Islamic radicalism in the Caucasus and Putin’s sponsorship of Russian secessionism in eastern Ukraine. By proclaiming ethnicity and religion as the basis for Russian statehood and aggression against its neighbors, Putin is inadvertently stoking the forces of secessionism in those parts of Russia that are historically and culturally Islamic.Needless to say, Talbott, himself a former Deputy Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral, married to Brooke Shearer, also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a senior aide to Hillary Clinton with links to banks Commission, is the archetypal US "deep-stater". He is also considered a "Russia specialist" which, in Foggy Bottom parlance means a rabid russophobe. A person like Talbott is very much "plugging in" the US deep state and if he says that next year there will be an insurgency in Chechnia, we can be darn sure that the US will try to create one.
Of course, this does not at all mean that they will succeed.

It is amazing, quite amazing, the sheer depth of hatred of Russia in the
western world. The problem is not restricted to deep-state elites but
extends to the man on the street. My observation and conclusion is that
about 75% of the populations of UK and Germany hate Russia and Russians;
some 50%of French do so; in Canada and Australians, no doubt owing to
the lower political IQ levels in these countries, the percentage
approaches 85%; and, paradoxically, in the US the percentage is lower at
perhaps 65%All this is very subjective and intuitive, based on personal
conversations with peoples in these countries and an analysis of posts
on sites such as Yahoo (where the scum seem to reside). Regardless of
the accuracy of the above numbers, hatred of Russia in the West is a
centuries old phenomena and it keeps spiking from time in a very ugly
way. Russia and its leaders need to keep this in mind as they wade
through the jungle of international affairs.

Indeed one need look no farther than Hollywood to see the extent of
Anti-Russia hatred. "The Equalizer" with Denzel Washington, "Jack Ryan,
Shadow Recruit" with Chris Pine (A search for the actor shows he
criticized Russia's "Anti-Gay" laws) "The November Man" with Pierce
Brosnan. And that's just in one year and the list is hardly exhaustive.
In Hollywood, Russians can only be gangsters, evil spies, or poor
helpless prostitutes waiting for an American to save them from wicked
Russian men.
Truly, I don't think they ever hated Arabs and Muslims that much. But then again they are hardly a threat to full spectrum dominance (Iran and Hezbollah excepted) whereas Russia clearly is.
In fact, even during the cold war it wasn't so bad. Even some of the old James Bond movies, while still anti-Russian, at least had some anti-cold war themes.

I completely agree with what is being said above.
These statements by the high priests of imperialism are not accidental. They fully reveal the plans, fantasies and fears of the AZ Empire.
Will the anti Russia coalition do its ugly bidding in chechnya and the surrounding republics? 100% certain that they will try. But my guess is that they will have even less success than they did against Novorussia.
The Russian bear is indeed backed into a corner by those who have been plundering the planet for centuries now, but there power is waning. Their actions are becoming ever more desperate, ever riskier and ever more depraved.
I would also add one more thing. Unlike previous wars in which Russia had to fight the west all alone, she now has a powerful and very intelligent ally on her side.
Russia also has a leader far more intelligent and subtle than someone like Stalin, or Tsar Alexander. Xi Jinping is also a very shrewd and capable leader who loves his country and understands the global situation as well as Putin does. He is also a tough but fair leader who sees Western so called liberalism for what it is. He has taken a very tough stance against Western assaults on China, from virtually forbidding Western leaders to meet the Dalai Lama, defeated the so called umbrella revolution in Hong Kong, forbidden Western propaganda publications to enter China, has and will be backing Russia, imposed heavy fines on Western corporations abusing their pricing in China, and has superbly coordinated with Russian diplomacy all across the planet (there are several experts who have noted this)
Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brezhyinski are becoming increasingly worried about this development. I invite anyone to read their latest comments on the Ukraine crisis and more broadly. Kissinger has flat out stated that the Ukraine crisis is the fault of the west and that sanctions are a mistaken policy for the US to pursue. Brezhyinski for his part is expressing serious doubts as to whether the US are any longer the master of Eurasia. He has also twitted a few days back that the US and China have to come into an understanding apropos their relation to Russia. What this means is that our old friend Zbigniew is worried that the triangular relationship that for so long allowed the US to be the preeminent global power, is in a serious risk of turning completely against it.
