In light of the terrorist attacks that took place in India, the Runet literally exploded: bloggers cite the saying of the great prophetess Vanga about the conflict in Hindustan, which the seer timed to coincide with 2008
According to the forumists, Wanga indicated that it was this event that would become the starting point for the outbreak of World War III.
With the question of how justified these fears are, the AiF newspaper turned to the professor of the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, political scientist Igor Panarin, who shared his vision of the development of events in the world.
- Today it is clear that the terrorist attack in India was prepared, to put it mildly, spontaneously. There was more noise, and there is no need to talk about the precise coordination of terrorists' actions. The purpose of the terrorist attacks in India is to escalate tensions between India and Pakistan. It is obvious. But there is another more important reason for unleashing this conflict: in intelligence it is called "an action to distract the attention of the world media." In this case, the attention of the press is diverted from the crisis, which is now especially acute in the United States of America.
What evidence can you provide to support your version?
- Pakistan after the explosion of Benazir Bhutto entered into a systemic economic and political crisis. This is a Muslim, Islamic nuclear power. Isn't it strange that the United States, which once feared Islamic weapons in Iran, after the terrorist attack in India, is not worried about the fact that Pakistan, which is on the verge of collapse, has nuclear weapons?
The conflict has clearly subsided over the past two or three years. This attack was clearly carried out in a demonstrative manner. We do not hire performers, but in this case, let's talk about customers. Again, the handwriting of the operation is strange: again, like September 11, 2001, a non-existent organization claimed responsibility for the terror. This indicates that the real organizers of the action are outside the region.
- You drew a parallel with September 11. Was it also "an action to distract the attention of the world media"? From what?
- One of the most terrible possible scenarios and one of the goals of the organizers of this action, to which Bin Laden has nothing to do, except for information and propaganda, from my point of view, was the possibility of a nuclear conflict between Russia and the United States. From my point of view, President Putin (at that time acting, today - prime minister) saved the world from a nuclear catastrophe.
Let me remind you that during that period, Russian strategic nuclear forces were conducting exercises, and after the terrorist attacks, all US nuclear forces were brought to the highest level of alert, and even higher than during the Cuban missile crisis. That is, the world was practically teetering on the brink of a nuclear war, and President Bush was obviously hiding for 4 hours clearly not from Ben Laden.
In fact, the threads of governing the country were lost for several hours. At that moment, the Russian leadership and the president personally showed the highest degree of self-organization and adequacy. Our teachings have been canceled. Putin found Bush on the phone and announced this, and the escalation of further tensions was eliminated.
It was then that this crisis was resolved in another way: the occupation of Iraq, then Afghanistan, drug trafficking, which increased several times after the entry of American troops into Afghanistan.
What is the situation in Pakistan now?
- Pakistan is actually on the brink of default, there are periodical battles in its border areas. Let me remind you that the American aircraft repeatedly bombed Pakistan, in particular, the zone of settlement of the Pashtun tribes, there are constant casualties among the civilian population.
Naturally, the Americans have great ability to control the Pakistani intelligence services. Therefore, of course, the escalation of tensions is a good opportunity to divert attention from the global financial crisis, because three US carmakers are asking for huge amounts of money, otherwise they will go bankrupt, and tens, and maybe hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans will be thrown into the streets. This is a good way to distract attention from US internal problems.
- How can you describe the stage of the crisis in which the United States is now?
- Of course, the entire United States of America has been seized by a systemic crisis.
Following me, two completely independent American serious scientific researchers (one from Dallas, the other from New York) announced the possibility of a civil war in the United States. The only time I called autumn 2009 was 2012.
- What prerequisites for a civil war in the United States are there now?
- In the United States, special forces are being created in the amount of 20 thousand people. This happens in violation of the 19th century law on the non-use of the American army inside the United States. To date, 4,700 people have already been recruited, in the next six months they will add another 15 thousand. Thus, the country's leadership is preparing to suppress riots in the United States.
The latest outrageous case in the United States is a raging crowd in a New York supermarket that trampled a salesperson to death during the opening of a store sale. It was shown by all the TV channels of the world. When four policemen tried to rescue this poor salesman, they too were thrown to the ground and walked over.
This is the first fact of manifestation of mass aggressive behavior, in this case, of the crowd. Apparently, there will be even more and more such facts, and these special reaction forces, in addition to the existing units of the National Guard, are being created to stabilize the situation inside the United States.
So I hope India has enough common sense. They will be able to understand the real reasons for the terrorist act committed, and the escalation of tension will be stopped.
Dmitry Medvedev is to visit India tomorrow. Your predictions: what will be the cooperation between Russia and India?
- I am very glad that this visit will take place. By the way, I am absolutely delighted with Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Latin America. First of all, I would like to note a very important symbolic step by Medvedev - his visit to Fidel Castro.
It seems to me that the role of our president is precisely to stop the escalation of tension; we are old friends with India. As Putin saved the world from a nuclear war in 2001, I hope that Medvedev will also save the world in 2008 from the Indo-Pakistani conflict that threatens to turn into a world war.
