PUTIN NAMES UNITED STATES AMONG THREATS IN NEW RUSSIAN SECURITY STRATEGY

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A new appraisal names the United States as one of the threats to Russia's national security for the first time, a sign of how relations with the west have deteriorated in recent years.
It says Russia has managed to heighten its role in solving global problems and international conflicts. That heightened role has caused a reaction by the West, it says.
"The strengthening of Russia happens against the background of new threats to the national security, which has complex and interrelated nature," the document says.
Conducting an independent policy, "both international and domestic" has caused "counteraction from the USA and its allies, which are striving to retain their dominance in global affairs."
That in turn is likely to lead to "political, economical, military and informational pressure" on Russia, the document says.
Relations between Russia and the West reached a low after Russian forces annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in March 2014, after protests in Ukraine forced its pro-Moscow president to flee to Russia.
Since then, the West has accused Russia of aiding insurgents in eastern Ukraine. Moscow denies actively assisting the rebels.
The United States and the European Union have since imposed wide-ranging sanctions against Russian individuals and companies. Moscow has reacted by restricting food and other goods from the EU.
The document says that the United States and the EU have supported an "anti-constitutional coup d'etat in Ukraine", which led to a deep divide in Ukrainian society and a military conflict.
It also names the expansion of NATO as a threat to Russia's national security and said that the United States has expanded its network of military-biological laboratories in neighboring to Russia countries.
The document, which serves as a basis for planning strategy related to national security by different state bodies, does not mention Syria. On Sept. 30, Russia began air strikes against anti-government rebels opposed to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a Russian ally.

The UNITED STATES is the biggest threat to every country in the world that doesn't do what they are told, but then the UNITED STATES is NOT a country; it is a corporation.
President Putin-come get these corporate criminals-guilty by their own admissions-will pay shipping and handling for justice served.
MANY Americans would support that as there appears to not be enough in the 'gov' or military positions with the balls to take our country back from these criminals.
obozo is a rothschild puppet stooge taking orders to support the NWO which only benefits the 1%. his job is to create chaos and hatered amoungst different ethnic groups, stomp on the Constitution of US, usher in martial law, eventually to eliminate most of us.
