Russia prepared for pre-emptive strikes on 'terror bases' worldwide Got spare money?

Yep, the thing I feared the most after Bush claimed the right to do this (I'm not saying it was a bad thing, I'm saying I was afraid other countries start doing it too and use the same words).

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...ttacks_military

"MOSCOW (AFP) - Russia is prepared to make pre-emptive strikes on "terrorist bases" anywhere in the world, the Interfax news agency cited the country's chief of staff as saying.

"With regard to preventive strikes on terrorist bases, we will take any action to eliminate terrorist bases in any region of the world. But this does not mean we will carry out nuclear strikes," General Yuri Baluyevsky said Wednesday.

Baluyevsky added that Russia's choice of action "will be determined by the concrete situation where ever it may be in the world.

"Military action is the last resort in the fight agaisnt terrorism."

---------------

Well, I'm not so worried that Russia would use this too wrong, except when they start finding terrorists in Latvia .. .

I hope NK doesn't do the same.

I just hope we can get 100% on the same page as the Russians in this matter. They could exert some pressure on Iran and Syria that I don't think we can.

yeah I somehow had to read that again, too...

Well, here's hoping that they won't abuse this new strategy, but if decide doing this, will use it wisely. Otherwise we are starting to have a very dangerous and weird period of time in this world.

And you do realize, that if they wanted somehow to damage us (which they don't because were friendlies, but for the sake of the argument), they woudl claim terrorist activity in here, or at the very least some weird things, demand us to take control of it, but we really can't take control over something that doesn't exists, and.. basically if trhey would now want to, they could attack us anywhere, and you would all believe it was righteous pre-emtpive strike against some imaginary terrorists. Now you say 'I wouldn't believe it for one second!'. Yeah you would, provided with 'good proof'.

But Pekka, if provided with good enough proof, we'd have taken care of it ourselves. If it didn't exist, there'd be no way to provide good enough proof to convince us to allow Russian troops to attack anywhere in America.

You can always fake everything. Propaganda. If they really wanted to attack here for some reason, you'd all believe them, and not us. That's a fact.

Putin is really hugely pissed, the Russians are marching in the streets for action. It would be great if the US and Russia could combine to kick Iran's tail. The US supplying the mobile forces and air while the Russians did the heavy ground work.

"Russian vow 'a threat to everyone' Sep 8 2004







Russia's threat to target "terrorists anywhere" is a danger to Britain, Europe and the rest of the world, a top Chechen separatist based in the UK has warned.

Akhmed Zakayev said the vow meant Russia may try to assassinate Chechens wherever they are, regardless of international boundaries.

And he warned that sent out a "very disturbing signal to all civilised countries".

Mr Zakayev, an envoy for Chechen separatist leader Aslan Maskhadov, also rejected claims by Russia that he should face a renewed extradition attempt following the Beslan school massacre.

The separatist, who has been granted asylum, spoke out after Colonel General Yuri Baluyevsky, chief of the Russian General Staff. reasserted the country's right to strike at terrorists the world over.

Mr Zakayev said: "I think these are probably not empty threats, in fact they have already shown in practice that that is the way they do things.

"It is a very disturbing signal they are sending for all civilised countries.

"There are lots of Chechens all over the world and of course they talk freely about how dissatisfied they are with Putin's policies.

"To Putin, that makes them international terrorists. It is a warning to other European countries that Russia may come and carry out an assassination on your soil at any moment."

In February this year, two Russian agents assassinated Chechen rebel leader Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev in a car bomb attack in Qatar."

Maybe its a threat to this guy.

If other countries are granting political asylum to the terrorists Russia has been trying to get extradited then I think assasinations even in western countires against those terrorists might be their best option.

Tired of ads?

THEY MUST ASSASSINATE ALL TERRORISTS EVERYWHERE. International boundaries should mean nothing. There should be a joint global defense agency including Russia and the US that specializes in assassinating terrorists (including these Chechnen monsters).

Putin should be praised for this (****, I'm agreeing with Tass).

I really don't think that Russia is able to back up Putnin's threats. They may be able to attack neighboring nations, like Georgia, but they don't have the capability to reach out far beyond their borders like the US does. Furthermore they're not known for their precision strikes. If Russia decided to try something like Afghanistan or Iraq it would launch a WW2 like attack. Absolutely nothing would be left of the target.

Assasinations? I thought they withdrew all of the old KGB cells.

Britain should make Zakayev a birthday present to Putnin.
