LaRouche: What Is Necessary to Win for Mankind? Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday held his annual press conference, attended by 1,200 Russian and foreign journalists. The night before, he had spoken with French President Hollande, German Chancellor Merkel, and Ukrainian President Poroshenko about plans to advance the cease-fire in eastern Ukraine and resume the Minsk dialogue. Throughout more than three hours of questions and answers, Putin spoke as a head of state facing war. Putin made clear that Russia was not facing retaliation or punishment for the Crimea. He told the audience that factions in the West had targeted Russia for destruction from the moment that the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact collapsed. He cited the First Chechen War as the start of the conflict. Putin is not wrong, Lyndon LaRouche told colleagues on Thursday. While the Russian leader is yet to follow LaRouches public call from earlier this week--now circulating in Russian--to adopt the Mahathir solution by imposing capital and exchange controls, as Malaysia did in 1998, when faced with an onslaught by Obama-backer George Soros and other ravenous hedge funds, Putin is totally aware of the targeting of Russia for regime-change. Since April, when Putin and other top Russian and Belarus officials told participants in the Moscow International Security Conference that color revolutions and sanctions are the new form of warfare, Russia has been crystal clear about the current state of war. This is not a new Cold War. This is a looming hot war that could very likely go thermonuclear!
