'Fight terrorists until full elimination': Putin changes New Year address after Volgograd
Russia Today ^

Posted on 01/01/2014 3:11:33 AM PST by kronos77

The deadly suicide attacks in Volgograd forced Vladimir Putin to make changes to his traditional New Year address, with the Russian President promising to wage “a confident, tough and consistent” war on terror until total victory.

“The inhumane terrorist acts in Volgograd” were among the biggest challenges Russia faced in 2013, the Putin said in his address to the nation, broadcast minutes before the New Year.

“In the time of challenges Russia always stood united and solid,” he stressed.

At least 34 people have lost their lives and over 80 injured in two suicide blasts in Russia’s southern city of Volgograd on December 29 and 30, with the president saying: “We bend our head before the victims of the violent terrorist attacks.”

“We’ll lead a confident, tough and consistent battle against the terrorists until their full elimination,” the President promised.

This year, Putin broke the long-time tradition and gave up on the pre-recorded address to the nation, shot at the Kremlin several days before the New Year.

On December 31, Putin made a surprise visit to Khabarovsk, which contains one of the temporary accommodation centers for those who lost their homes in massive floods hitting the Russian Far East this summer.

The sudden change of plans resulted in the Russians getting two presidential addresses as Putin recorded his new speech in Khabarovsk.

Looks like Putin will be doing some “house cleaning” before the Winter Games.

Finally someone who understands that moslems cannot be reasoned with - the only thing you can do with islamic terrorists is to eliminate them - not rebuild their schools and water fac’s, chicken farms, and sewer plants - not stand up a better govt. - it will always end in corruption and pay offs - that’s just the Arab culture...the only way to deal with this type of terrorism is to eliminate the poison from the source!

And, besides being president for life, he’s helping Iran develop nuclear weapons. What a swell guy.

When the US experiences terror incidents old Putie Pute is quick to send his messages of support against terrorism. Vacationing Bammy is not to be bothered with such tripe from across the pond coming from Putie-land.

““We’ll lead a confident, tough and consistent battle against the terrorists until their full elimination,”

Why? Over a little bit of “mischief”?

Not a lot of confirmation, but this might bear watching:

Putin Orders Saudi Arabia “Destroyed” After Volgograd Terror Strikes A grim memorandum circulating in the Kremlin today written by Federal Security Services (FSB) Director Alexander Bortnikov outlining the new security measures being put into place throughout Russia ordered by President Putin a few hours ago in response to the deadly Volgograd terror attacks further warns that Russia’s leader has, in effect, vowed to “destroy” Saudi Arabia as he personally is blaming them for this horrific crime against humanity.

If Obama said something like this, he would either be lying or bloviating. When Putin says something like this, it is a directive to go forth and kill, until he says stop.

If Putin didn't wipe out the terrorists after Beslan then why does anybody think he would do so now? Shouldn't Putin have wiped them out before this happened? Russian troops can't protect Russia from its real enemies because they are too busy occupying and partitioning their Christian neighbor Georgia. How many billions did Putin spend on invading Georgia and bribing Ukraine? Shouldn't he have spent that money to protect the Russian people from terrorists? How many times are we going to hear this empty threat from the impotent failure Putin? Talk is cheap.

When the USA was attacked by terrorists we invaded two muslim countries and occupied them for years. We've waged drone warfare against half a dozen other muslim countries. Putin has never invaded any muslim countries. Instead he knocked up his muslim girlfriend. The USA fights islam around the world. Russia does not.
