Israeli publicist Avigdor Eskin told Sputnik that “something bad” unlikely will come to the West from Russia. But if the West continues to provoke Moscow, it has enough firepower to counter western aggression.
Let us first turn to an article of News Online with a headline which asks “Is Putin plotting war in Europe?” Is this an example of war propaganda?
Avigdor Eskin: This is a typical example of a publication which has only one purpose – to stir up the warmongering mood in the West. Russian army is strong, its missiles are good and in some aspects Russia outnumbers the West in terms of being prepared for the next war, if such will take place.
One thing is clear – if you take the situation in Europe, in the last 25 years since the fall of the Soviet Union — you don’t see Russia being very aggressive towards any neighbor.
Russia let 15 republics become independent. And Russia did not try to meddle into their internal affairs, and if it did – then it was much less that the US, which is not a neighboring country of any of former USSR republics.
One thing we see is that there is no reason for this type of mood – that something bad will come to the West from Russia.
