Who woke me up?

Putin world war (Путинская мировая война) is historical phenomenon of century 21, that includes events related to the Russian invasion into Georgia (2008) and Russian occupation of the Abkhasia and South Ossetia (2008-2018), the Russian invasion into Ukraine (2014-2018), the Russian invasion into Syria (2015-2018).

The Russian invasion into Turkey (2015), Russian missile shooting into Iran (2015), multiple acts of violation of airspace of various countries by the Russian warplanes, terroristic acts over the Europe (believed to be organised for the profit of the Russian administration), propaganda of the Russian world, propaganda of the the Russian expansion, by the Russian official TV, newspapers and internet sites also can be interpreted as elements of the the Putin world war.

Goals of the Putin world war

Many authors indicate, that the main foal of the Putin world war is destruction of all competitors of the Putins oil and gas monopolies. War in Georgia, in Ukraine, in Syria should prevent supply of fuel to Europe in ways that bypass the Russia and territories, occupied by Russian troops, in order to maximise the taxes, custom fees and bribes, that form the income of Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials. While the Western country buy the oil and gas from the Putin's companies, the Russian officials are interested to sponsor the international terrorism. In particular, bombing of hospitals and living blocks in Aleppo has the pretty economic goal: to provide market for "Gazprom", eliminating the competitors. .

The additional reason is that the Russian invasion into Georgia (2008-2016) and, especially, the Russian invasion into Ukraine (2014–2016) and Russian invasion into Syria (2015–2016) are beginning of the new world war, that Vladimir Putin needs to begin in order to keep his power in Russia and to avoid persecution for his terroristic activity.

Warries

It is expected that NATO can stop the Putin's expansion and prevent the full–scale war. .

Most of links about the topic are in Russian; some of them are collected in the Russian version of this article, Путинская мировая война. The references in English and other languages are collected here; the links are not yet sorted by subtopics. In paticular, 2015.11.25, the nteractive map of violation of borders of NATO by Rissian warplanes is suggested by the Bild magazine .

Ideological justification

For the aggressive foreign policy of Russia, the administration uses the standard nazi pretext about protection of the Russian citizenship outside Russia, to prevent genocide of Russians in the foreign countries.

This justifies any actions, including the military intervention.

In order to oppose this justication, one indicates, that the suppression of Russians in Chechnia and in Dagestan is much stronger, than that in countries that become victims of the Russian aggression in century 21, id est, Georgia and Ukraine. .

Sergii Omelchuk traces the evolution of lie that Vladimir Putin use as hustification of the Russian invasion into Ukraine .

Cold war

For 2014 September, the cold war is observed.

Many countries apply sanctions against the Russian terrorists and corruptioners; in particular, against those who are believed to be responsible for the Russian invasion into Ukraine and shutting–down the passenger jet MH17 with the buk missile

The Russian administration replied, restricting import of food and other goods into Russia. (See destruction of food).

2016.10.28, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says, that Nato is not seeking confrontation with Russia and does not want another Cold War. .

Armed and Dangerous

Putin considers military occupation of many neighbour countries, and believes, that he can do it easy and quickly, "within two days" .

In order to hide the criminal character of the preparation of the world war, Putin's agents destroy the rest of independent media of mass information .

Invasion into Georgia

Russian invasion into Georgia refers to August 2008.

The main reason for the invasion seems to be preventing entry of Georgia into NATO.

The pretest of the invasion is defence of the Ossetian population.

According to the reports, in the first two days of the war, the Russian loss count with thousands deaths.

The most of the Russian soldiers seem to be buried in the mass graves in the deep secret; then, the Russian authorities claim that the loss is an order of magnitude smaller. The information about thousands Russians killed in that war have disappeared from the site of the Russian Military Ministry.

As the result of the Russian invasion into Georgia, the two Georgian regions are occupied by the Russian troops, Abkhasia and South Ossetia. All the properties of the Georgian citizen is reported to be plundered by occupants, the damage by the invasion is estimated to be of order of \(10^{12}\) USA dollars.

Oct 13, 2015, The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, requests judges for authorisation to open an investigation into the Situation in Georgia .

Invasion into Ukraine

Russian invasion into Ukraine begins 2014.02.20; this date is specified at the medals of award for the Russian soldiers, participated in the battles in Ukraine.

The Russian troops acted without signs indicating their nationality, pretending to be self-orgainzed rebels. However, these "rebels" counted with machine guns, tanks, cannons, missiles, etc., including the missile system Buk, user to shut–down the MH17 flights.

Russian occupants had been plundered Crimea (See annexation of Crimea) with moderate loss, few Ukrainian defenders had been killed at the beginning of the invasion. However, after to establish the occupational administration, the repressions agains Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, and journalists were more extensive.

Russian invasion to the continental part of Ukraine is not so successful. Until 2015 October, the occupants control only of order of 10% of territory of Ukraine, and suffer heavy loss trying to advance further to West. The Russian officials made decision to hide the losses of their military forces, keeping them in secret. This secrecy may indicates that Publications, that report several thousand deaths for 2014–2015, greatly underestimate the loss of the Russian army in the war against Ukraine.

Formally, Ukraine is not in war with Russia, the flux of people and goods across the Russian–Ukrainian border is not completely blocked. In Ukraine, the Russian–Ukrainian war is qualified as "anti–terroristic operation. The need to recover the control and to close the borders are under discussion since year 2014.

the damage by the Russian invasion into Ukraine is estimated to be of order of \(10^{12}\) USA dollars; various authors suggest different estimates that may vary for orders of magnitude.

The decrease of value of the russian national currency, rouble, to half of its initial value may indicate, that Russia suffers damage, comparable to that of Ukraine; in this war, Russia losses, roughly, of order of half of its treasure.

Russian invasion into Ukraine had pretext to defend interests of the Russian population in Ukraine. Similar pretext had been used by Adolg HItler in 1938 for justification of annexation of Austria and Sudetenland. This similarity is one of many other analogies between Putin and Hitler. Many authors expect, that the Russian invasion into Ukraine and, in general, the Putin world war will have for Russia and, in particular, for Vladimir Putin sequences, similar to those the World War II had for Germany and, in particular, for its leader Adolf Hitler.

The analogy happens to be deeper, than it seemed at the beginning, because, as in the case of World War II, Putin and Putinists no not stop at Ukriane. In particular, invasions into Latvia, Moldova, and other countries is observed and discussed, until the invasion into Italy ("Today–Crimea, tomorrow – Roma!") and even invasion into the USA ("It is time to return Alaska!") are suggested by the Russian pro–Putin fascist groups.

In TORI, he Russian projects of global dominance are represented with parody "Plan Barbachina" (План Барбачина, in Russian). That parody describes the Puitn's project of the Russian invasion into China, similar to the German Plan Barbarossa or year 1941, and the similar results are expected at the attempts of its realisation.

In year 2015, the realisation of the Putin world war does not follow the extremist projects about Russian occupation of Riga, Roma and Alaska, but begin with relatively modest military actions in Syria, Turkia and Iran.

2016.03.02, the report is presented about the Russian invasion to the continental part of Ukraine and military crimes who perform this invasion. .

2016.03.29, Julian Röpcke indicates that BILD has obtained a document containing the true plans by Russia for the occupied territory of the Donbass. .

Invasion into Syria

Russian invasion into Syria is reported since August 2015. According to news, the Russia aviation bomb the civilian targets at the territory of Syria. .

2015.10.09. It is reported, that the territory, bombed by Russian warplanes, soon are occupied by ISIS troops

2015.10.11, Sean Rayment and Tim Shipman indicate, that the UK airforces (RAF) are ready to shoot down Russian aircraft over Syria.

2015.10.29, the terroristic warplanes are reported to bomb 12 hospitals within few weeks, killing tens civilians

As the only Russian warplanes participate in the war without signs of identification of country, the attack on hospitals is assumed to be performed by the Russian occupants.

Since beginning of the Russian invasion into Syria, Putin is qualified as "very dangerous"

2015.12.08, Putin and Shoigu discuss the use of nuclear weapon in Syria; Putin hopes, that there will be no need to use it, but he declared that it is ready to be used (Perhaps, in the case if everything goes bad for his occupational troops.) .

2016.02.15, Russian airstrikes are reported to hit hospitals and a school in Syria, killing tens civilians. .

2016.06.22, Russian bombers are reported to burn the residential areas of Aleppo .

2016.09.21, administration of the USA accuses Russian military for bombing of the American medical staff in Syria. .

2016.08.29, Julian Reichelt qualifies the actions of the Russian troops in Syria as barbarism (Barbarei) .

2016.08.30, Tom Newton Dun indicates that BORIS Johnson has accused Russia of targeting civilian aid workers in Syria on purpose with “double tap” bombing raids to catch them out in the open.

2016.10.02, Reuter indicate, that the Russian missiles destroy hospital in Aleppo .

2016.10.11, Tom Porter compares the Russian air strikes on Aleppo with the Nazi bombing of Guernica 1937.04.26. .

Attacks of Russian warplanes on the hospitals and schools in Syria are considered as one of reasons, why the Russian warships (including the air-carrier Admiral Kuznetsov (Адмирал Кузнецов) are not welcomed for refuelling in European countries (2016 October).

2017.06.10, Mikhail Kuznetsov indicates, that the Assad regime’s Air Force with the support of Russia destroys the city of Daraa

2018.02.07, the battle of vagners (Russian ihtamnets, terrorists controlled by the Putin's administration through Yevgeniy Prigozhin, Банда Вагнера) with the USA military forces is reported (In Russian, seek 2018.02.07.Битва). Of order of 200–300 Russian mercenaries are killed in that battle.

Invasion into Turkey

2015 October, many times, the Russian warplane are reported to invade airspace of Russia. The Russian authorities explained those cases by the errors of the navigation systems. The Russian national navigation system Glonass (ГЛОНАСС), indeed, had been reported to be extremely inaccurate and fragile, in particular, due to loss of many Glonass satellite at the frequent crashes of the Russian rockets at the launch.

2015.10.08, it is announced, that in future, the Russian military planes, that enter the airspace of Turkia, will be shut–down. The Russian warplane are reported to carry no signs of national identification.

2015.10.09, the first of russian military plane MIG-29 is reported to shut–down above Turkia. The Russian representatives were requested about the explanations.

2015.10.10. the big explosion at Ankara is reported. Many authors believe, that that explosion is Russian answer to the shutting–down the Russian warplane MIG–29 above territory of Turkia. It is reported to enter form side of Syria.

Since 2015 November, the USA jet fighters are reported to be deployed in Turkey. ".. the jets only have air-to-air weapons, and ISIS has no planes. Which means the real adversary is Russia"

November 2015, Turkia begin to shut down the Russian warplane invading the Turkey territory.

2015.11.24, The Russia warplane is reported to shut down above Turkey .

The killed pilot seemed to be Sergei Rumiantsev Румянцев Сергей Александрович from the Russian military base vh69806 (Вч 69806). .

Then, the identity of the killed pilot had been corrected to Oleg Peshkov (Пешков Олег Анатольевич), allthought the lack of precise information about Russian militaries killed in that accident is detected.

Missile shooting to Iran

2015 October, four Russian missiles are reported to fly from the Caspian sea to the territory of Iran. The Russian site pretends that the missiles were intended to hit targets at the territory of Syria. .

These missiles are believed to "land" at the territory of Iran. No clear official explanation are available. Neither from Iranian authorities, nor from Russian administration.

This look as if the missiles had been intercepted by the Iranian air–defence systems.

Fake money

Fake dinars printed in Russia, 2019

The Putin world war, as hybrid war, implies all kinds of fraud and crime, including the production of fake money, "unofficial currency".

2019.11.04, the Russian Kremlin-backed criminals are reported to produce and distribute the fake Libyan dinars as "unofficial currency" .

Shlapak and Michael Johnson indicate, that, among NATO countries, the most vulnerable with respect to the Russian aggression are country of Baltics (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania).

Warning

The materials are added to this article as soon as they reach the Editor. This order has no need to follow the importance of the events and the publications.

This article, as other articles in TORI, has scientific goal to collect and systemise the observed events in the most compact and efficient concept. It should not be interpreted as an attempt of the Editor to take somebody's part in the conflict, that seems to become wider and wider since 2008, and, especially, since 2014. This conflict is denoted here as Putin world war, not the World War III, while there are some hopes, that its scale will not reach the scale of the World War II (1939-1945). However, if the Putin world war reaches the same scale in future, then this article should be renamed to World War III and significantly upgraded .

How the Russian leader used the Ukraine crisis to consolidate his dictatorship. October 19, 2014 The buildup to war actually began as early as 2008, according to Sikorski. He says Russian intentions were becoming transparent by the time of the 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest. “This is where [Putin] gave his extraordinary speech saying Ukraine was an artificial country and the greater part of these lands historically belonged to Russia.” At the summit the Kremlin warned it would respond militarily to moves by Ukraine or Georgia to join the NATO alliance: months later Russian forces seized on a provocation from Tbilisi and invaded Georgia. .. “I have talked to NATO generals,” says Sikorski. “And they see what I see: that he is capable of pushing us to the limit. Of pushing us to the limits before we crack. I believe that Putin has us completely sussed. He thinks he’s facing a bunch of degenerate weaklings. And he thinks we wouldn’t go to war to defend the Baltics. You know, maybe he’s right.”

Russia is going to begin production of the Tu-160, a Soviet-era bomber known as the “Blackjack.” How should America respond? May 2, 2015. Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu announced recently that Russia is going to begin production of the Tu-160, a Soviet-era bomber known as the “Blackjack.” The Tu-160 is a nuclear platform, basically something like the Soviet version of an American B-1 bomber: a big, heavy, swing-wing bomber meant to deliver nuclear weapons at long distances. The Soviets built about thirty-five of them in the 1980s, of which only fifteen remain in service. ..

Returning Crimea is vital to the EU’s long-run cooperation with Russia and EU countries must also step up their own defence capabilities, says the text, which looks at Black Sea Basin military changes since Russia illegally annexed Crimea.

May 7, 2015, 9:00 p.m. NATO countries are staging massive air, land and sea exercises across Russia's northern borders this month in response to warnings from the Kremlin and strategic analysts that President Vladimir Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons are more than bluster. // The exercises in Estonia, Lithuania and Norway involve more than 21,000 troops and state-of-the-art military hardware. Coupled with U.S. training of Ukrainian forces and the recent activation of a 3,000-strong rapid-reaction force to defend Eastern Europe, they appear intended to send a message to Moscow that the alliance is ready to defend its new members in Russia's backyard. .. Given the steady drumbeat of nuclear threats, those in Eastern European countries that are now NATO members are skeptical that the alliance will be able to protect them. "It's clear that we find ourselves in a period of high risk of war in Poland. We live in the shadow of Russian imperialism," said Polish lawmaker and historian Pawel Kowal. "This is the last paroxysm of colonial power. It takes a long time for an empire to fall."

Following Cabinet approval, the government is expected to submit the bills to the Diet on Friday. If passed, the legislation would remove geographical restrictions on where the SDF can operate, and under certain conditions allow it to defend its security ally the United States and other friendly countries for the first time since the war.

The scene was now set for the revolt's final catastrophe. Outside Jerusalem, Roman troops prepared to besiege the city; inside the city, the Jews were engaged in a suicidal civil war. In later generations, the rabbis hyperbolically declared that the revolt's failure, and the Temple's destruction, was due not to Roman military superiority but to causeless hatred (sinat khinam) among the Jews (Yoma 9b). While the Romans would have won the war in any case, the Jewish civil war both hastened their victory and immensely increased the casualties. One horrendous example: In expectation of a Roman siege, Jerusalem's Jews had stockpiled a supply of dry food that could have fed the city for many years. But one of the warring Zealot factions burned the entire supply, apparently hoping that destroying this "security blanket" would compel everyone to participate in the revolt. The starvation resulting from this mad act caused suffering as great as any the Romans inflicted. .. (cited by the state for 2015.08.20.)

First on CNN: U.S. officials say Russian missiles heading for Syria landed in Iran. Updated 20 11 GMT (03 11 HKT) October 8, 2015 | Video Source: CNN. A number of cruise missiles launched from a Russian ship and aimed at targets in Syria have crashed in Iran, two U.S. officials told CNN Thursday. Monitoring by U.S. military and intelligence assets has concluded that at least four missiles crashed as they flew over Iran. One official said there may be casualties, but another official said this is not yet known. It's unclear where in Iran the missiles landed. The Russian ships have been positioned in the south Caspian Sea, meaning the likely flight path for missiles into Syria would cross over both Iran and Iraq. // The Russians have been firing a relatively new cruise missile called "Kaliber," using it for the first time in combat. // Iran's semi-official FARS news agency, however, said that neither Russian nor Iranian authorities have confirmed the U.S. officials' information at this point. // On Wednesday, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin on Russian television that all 26 missiles launched from four missile ships struck their targets, with no civilian facilities hit. Putin then congratulated him on the performance of the weapons. // It was not clear, however, whether Shoigu was referring to the same missiles as the U.S. officials, as the latter may have been describing ones launched after the TV appearance...
