SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Saturday accused Russia of endangering world order, citing its incursions in Ukraine and loose talk about nuclear weapons, and said the U.S. defense establishment is searching for creative ways to deter Russian aggression and protect U.S. allies.  --  

(Note: For those who are aware of what is REALLY going on behind the scenes, that comment brings a few dozen laughs. Talk about lies, bullsh*t and ass backwards statements!  Carter is either an obsessive pathological liar or counterintuitive disinfo agent extraordinare - or BOTH.)
 
In remarks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library after eight days of travel in Asia, Carter also expressed concern about China’s expanding influence and growing military might, but he reserved his stronger words for Russia.

Carter said Russia is undertaking “challenging activities” at sea, in the air, in space and in cyberspace.  (Note:  ho ho ho!  He's trying to be a comic but is failing miserably!  Liar liar liar - pants on fire!)

(Note: REVERSE the nations; in the place of 'Moscow', put in the word "USA corporation", and in place of 'America' and USA, insert the word 'Moscow.')

“Most disturbing, Moscow’s nuclear saber-rattling raises questions about Russian leaders’ commitment to strategic stability, their respect for norms against the use of nuclear weapons, and whether they respect the profound caution nuclear-age leaders showed with regard to the brandishing of nuclear weapons,” he said.

His remarks were perhaps the strongest he has expressed about America’s former Cold War foe.  “We do not seek a cold, let alone a hot, war with Russia,” he said. “We do not seek to make Russia an enemy. But make no mistake.  The United States (private criminal cabal corporation - NOT the united States nation) will defend our interests, our allies, the principled international order, and the positive future it affords us all.”

The backdrop to Carter’s remarks is the reality that after more than two decades of dominating great-power relations, the United States is seeing Russia reassert itself and China expand its military influence beyond its own shores. Together these trends are testing American preeminence and its stewardship of the world order.

Carter cited several pillars of the international order that he argued should be defended and strengthened: (too bad the criminal cabal private corporation does NONE  - NADA - ZERO of these....)

- peaceful resolution of disputes
- freedom from coercion
- respect for state sovereignty, and
- freedom of navigation

“Some actors appear intent on eroding these principles and undercutting the international order that helps enforce them,” he said. “Terror elements like ISIL (created and financed by the criminal CIA faction of the USA criminal cabal corporation rogue 'government'), of course, stand entirely opposed to our values. But other challenges are more complicated, and given their size and capabilities, potentially more damaging.”

“Of course, neither Russia nor China can overturn that order,” he said. “But both present different challenges for it.”

He accused Russia of stirring trouble in Europe and the Middle East!!

“In Europe, Russia has been violating sovereignty in Ukraine and Georgia and actively trying to intimidate the Baltic states,” he said. 

“Meanwhile, in Syria, Russia is throwing gasoline on an already dangerous fire, prolonging a civil war that fuels the very extremism Russia claims to oppose.”

Carter made clear that Russia is at the forefront of Washington’s concern about evolving security threats!! “We are adapting our operational posture and contingency plans as we — on our own and with allies — work to deter Russia’s aggression, and to help reduce the vulnerability of allies and partners,” he said.

Russia, under President Vladimir Putin, is challenging the U.S. in many arenas, including the Arctic, where last year Moscow said it was reopening 10 former Soviet-era military bases along the Arctic seaboard that were closed after the Cold War ended in 1991. Russia also is flying more long-range air patrols off U.S. shores.

Carter left open the possibility that Russia’s role in Syria could evolve into one the U.S. can embrace. “It is possible — we’ll see — Russia may play a constructive role in resolving the civil war,” he said.

In a question-and-answer session with his audience, Carter said he believes Putin “hasn’t thought through very thoroughly” his objectives in Syria. He called the Russian approach there “way off track.” (hahahahaha!)

In his speech, Carter said the U.S. will take a balanced approach by working with Moscow when productive and appropriate.

As Russia makes what Carter characterized as threatening statements about its potential use of nuclear weapons, the U.S. is modernizing its entire nuclear arsenal — not only the submarines, bomber aircraft and land-based missiles that are armed with long-range nuclear weapons, but also the weapons themselves.

“We’re investing in the technologies that are most relevant to Russia’s provocations, such as new unmanned systems, a new long-range bomber, and innovation in technologies like the electromagnetic railgun, lasers and new systems for electronic warfare, space and cyberspace, including a few surprising ones I really can’t describe here,” he said.  (America, you DO understand - do you NOT - that these weapons will be used on YOU?!)

Carter said China is the single most influential player in Asia’s future, and he noted that earlier this week he went aboard an American aircraft carrier in the South China Sea to demonstrate U.S. commitment to freedom of navigation. The U.S. objects to China’s claims of territorial limits around disputed artificial islands there.  “As a rising power, it’s to be expected that China will have growing ambitions and a modernizing military,” he said. “But how China behaves (??!!) will be the true test of its commitment to peace and security.”

He said the U.S. has been shifting its focus toward the Asia-Pacific, including sending its best naval and other military weapons, ships and equipment to that region.

“We are also changing fundamentally our operational plans and approaches to deter aggression, fulfill our statutory obligations to Taiwan, defend allies, and prepare for a wider range of contingencies in the region than we have traditionally,” he said.

(This USA corporation cabal nutcake is obviously totally dillusional.)

And NOW you know the WHY of the pending invasion of our nation by Russia and China.  Multiply this idiot by hundreds and you can discern the very real problems they are causing to you, me and our families and friends.
