Russia prepared for pre-emptive strikes on 'terror bases' worldwide

Wed Sep 8, 5:43 AM ET

MOSCOW (AFP) - Russia is prepared to make pre-emptive strikes on "terrorist bases" anywhere in the world, the Interfax news agency cited the country's chief of staff as saying.

"With regard to preventive strikes on terrorist bases, we will take any action to eliminate terrorist bases in any region of the world. But this does not mean we will carry out nuclear strikes," General Yuri Baluyevsky said Wednesday.

Baluyevsky added that Russia's choice of action "will be determined by the concrete situation where ever it may be in the world.

"Military action is the last resort in the fight agaisnt terrorism."






I don't blame them.

Yeah - interesting turn of events in Russia the last couple weeks. I'll be curious to see if this actually effects their response to terrorist activities around the world - or if it's just rhetoric to appease the Russian population.

They need to do something, with 2 planes and a school hit. Putin is at risk of having his countrymen losing complete confidence in him. It was interesting how the statement was worded. He didn't rule out using nukes, he just said it didn't mean he would use them.
