Are the Russians really preparing for war?

Gist of this Washington Post article is, No.  Just Russian posturing.

Against that are a host of (Not Ready for Prime Time) internet sites with a grain of fact and a cup of speculation;

Zero Hedge – Russian Government Officials Told To Immediately Bring Back Children Studying Abroad

Daily Star – US nuclear attack warning ‘upgraded to level 3’ as Russian threat goes ‘beyond Cold War’  (Daily Star is a British Newspaper)

Independent – Russia’s top propagandist says US behaviour could have ‘nuclear’ implications … has been a ‘radical change’ in relations between Russia and the US  (Another British paper, but more main stream)

CNN – Russia, US move past Cold War to unpredictable confrontation  (CNN, need I say more?)

Express – Nuclear war ‘IMMINENT’ as Russia tells citizens to find out where the closest bunkers are  (The Brits are getting nervous it seems)

Whoa, ABC and NBC?

ABC News – 7 Ways Russia Is Telling People to Prepare for War

NBC News – CIA Prepping for Possible Cyber Strike Against Russia … already begun opening cyber doors, selecting targets and making other preparations for an operation

Ah, another internet crazy site.

Daily Beast – Russia Is Building Fallout Shelters to Prepare for a Potential Nuclear Strike [includes information not seen elsewhere]  (oh! I didn’t know this: The Daily Beast is owned by IAC, where Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation, Chelsea Clinton, serves on the board of directors)

If you believe that the nuclear destruction of the USA is Barack Obama’s end game, then worry.  But if you believe that Barry’s favorite hobby is kicking the USA’s ass  and he has mountains of Kobe beef to consume and miles of golf to play then don’t.

Hillary however, is another matter.
