DUE TO THE WEAKNESS OF PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...Vladimir Putin 'Wants to Regain Finland' Says Close Adviser

Again, no surprise. President Barack Hussein Obama has created a huge vacuum in World LEADERSHIP and our enemies are moving rapidly to fill that void. Unquestionably President Obama would step up to the plate and...draw another red line in the sand. Either that or write a stern letter.

Vladimir Putin 'Wants to Regain Finland' Says Close Adviser
By Jack Moore March 29, 2014 13:10 GMT

One of Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest ex-advisers has claimed that the ex-KGB agent ultimately wants to reclaim Finland for Russia.

Andrej Illiaronov, Putin's economic adviser between 2000 and 2005 and now senior member of the Cato Institute think tank, said that "parts of Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and Finland are states where Putin claims to have ownership."

"Putin's view is that he protects what belongs to him and his predecessors," he said.

When asked if Putin wishes to return to the Russia of the last tsar, Nicholas II, Illiaronov said: "Yes, if it becomes possible."

Illiaronov admits that Finland is not Putin's primary concern at present but, if not stopped in other areas of Eastern Europe, the issue will one day arise. Russian troops are currently massing on the eastern border of Ukraine, following Russia's recent annexation of Crimea.

"Putin said several times that the Bolsheviks and Communists made big mistakes. He could well say that the Bolsheviks in 1917 committed treason against Russian national interests by providing Finland's independence," Illiaronov told a Swedish news website.

He believes that Putin is not planning to invade Ukraine for territorial gain but rather "the goal is a pro-Russian puppet government in Kiev."

"Six years ago Putin conquered Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgia. The west let him do it with impunity, and now he has got Crimea," he continued.

"Now, eastern and southern Ukraine is destabilized so that the self-defense forces can take power there. If the situation allows, it may be a military invasion."

Finland was a part of the Russian Empire for 108 years but broke away in 1917 at the end of the first world war.

What is a former economic adviser to Putin doing working at the Cato Institute?

And, speaking of Cato:

50% owned by the Koch brothers, who tried to buy an additional 25% interest when a former director died, but were unsuccessful.

"The Nation", an openly Communist publication which has frequently featured articles advocating violence and riots in our streets.

First, I have never read the nation magazine or blog. Second, I have heard a contributor on the Ed Shultz show who is a writer for the nation, and I think you paint with a very broad brush to call the nation an OPENLY communist publication. Could you show us where they openly declared they were a communist publication.....or are you lying again.

I rest my case.

markle:  "The Nation is openly communist"

seaoat:  "Can you supply evidence to back up that accusation?"

markle:  "I rest my case".

lol

Bob,
Mr. Markle has lost some vigor....my guess this simply is not as much fun when people actually are dealing in facts......cutting and pasting lies is easy......and then resting his case......I must say......that is one very rested case......like dead rested. It is hardly fun anymore because he is a smart man and he knows how utterly idiotic the stuff they are sending him.......you would think he might try fishing.

Whoa Herr Markle: Let's hear some proof that The Nation is "openly Communist."

Bet you won't respond to that statement, right?

Here we go again ... Herr Markle wants to ramp up war with Russia so bad he's peeing in his soiled pants!

We're lucky Putin doesn't want S. Carolina. But, come to think of it, if he did, I'd say let him have it. Or Texas. Or both. LOL

I say if Mr. Putin wants to take Finland, he should give it a try.

Consider, the Russians lost in Afghanistan and the Finns are an industrial country 10 times as tough -- with a modern army.

Considering our own inability to win in Afghanistan, maybe the Finns are a lot tougher than we are.
