WHAT RUSSIANS ARE TOLD – AND IT'S CHILLING – AT 11:51 A.M. ET:  Tensions between the U.S. and Russia are growing, over Syria and many other issues.  The so-called "reset" with Russia, initiated by Hillary Clinton when she played at being secretary of state, is history.  American weakness led directly to Russia re-entering the Mideast with military power.  And what are the Russian people being told?  From Metro UK:   

As tensions rise in the middle East, an official TV channel in Russia has issued a chilling warning that war with the West could be imminent.

Zvezda, a nationwide TV service run by the country’s Ministry of Defence, said last week, ‘Schizophrenics from America are sharpening nuclear weapons for Moscow.’

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday proposed a law suspending a Moscow-Washington agreement to dispose of weapons-grade plutonium.

Officials said on Friday that underground shelters had been built which could house 12 milion people – enough for the entire population of Moscow.

Russia has clashed with the Western powers over its policy in Syria – where it’s accused of bombing civilians – and the U.S suspended negotiations with the country yesterday.

Both Russia and NATO are still in the position to unleash global-scale nuclear attacks – and the weapons are armed and ready.

The Arms Control Association says, ‘United States and Russia still deploy more than 1,500 strategic warheads on several hundred bombers and missiles – far more than necessary to deter nuclear attack – and they are modernizing their nuclear delivery systems.

COMMENT:  The war words may simply be internal government propaganda, but we're seeing more and more reports of similar saber-rattling in a number of publications. 

In 2012, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney warned that Russia was our number one enemy.  He was widely ridiculed by the mainstream media.  I haven't seen any "journalists" apologizing to Romney.

We are weakening our defenses at the same time that the Russians are improving theirs.  They lost the Cold War but they're back on track, building the most modern jet aircraft.  And they act with impunity.

Weakness has its results.  Will we learn?
