‘World War III’ worries me more than economic sanctions do, Russia’s VTB Bank chief says
Diplomatic tensions and the “aggressive policy” of the U.S. toward Moscow are of more concern than economic sanctions, the president and chairman of one of Russia’s largest lenders said Tuesday.
“What concerns me more than any economic sanctions, that for the first time since the Cuban (missile) crisis — people, at least in Russia and probably in America also, have started to feel that there is more danger of World War III,” Andrei Kostin, the president and chairman of Russia’s VTB Bank told CNBC’s Geoff Cutmore in Moscow.
“There is a recent public opinion poll (in) Russia (that) showed that 55 percent of Russians now believe or think that World War III is possible because of the aggressive policy of the United States,” he added.
“It’s very, very serious to reflect on what’s happening in national affairs. The world is becoming a much more dangerous place to live,” he said. “And that’s a great concern.”
Kostin’s comments come amid a cold front — the coldest in a while —between Russia and the West. Among the sources of tension are Russia’s support for the authoritarian regime in Syria, a suspected Moscow-directed nerve agent attack on U.K. soil, and alleged meddling in elections in the U.S. in 2016, alongside accusations of state-sponsored cyber warfare.
Russia is already experiencing ongoing Western-led economic sanctionsfor its annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its perceived support for a pro-Russian uprising in eastern Ukraine that same year.
Moscow denies having any part in the U.K. spy nerve agent attack or in political interference in the U.S. Nonetheless, in April, the U.S. Treasury announced more sanctions on Russian individuals — including VTB’s Kostin — who it deemed to be government officials, as well as oligarchs and entities that it said wereclose to President Vladimir Putin. VTB is majority-owned by the Russian state.
Kostin said the most recent sanctions, which essentially prohibit him from doing business with U.S. entities and citizens or travel to the country, had so far not affected his daily life. But he called the restrictions “unfair” and denied he was a government official, saying “I am a banker.”
On a wider level, although Kostin conceded that economic sanctions had weakened the Russian economy — which went through a recession in 2015 and 2016 amid sanctions and low oil prices, but grew in 2017 — it had helped to unify the population.
“Unfortunately, they strengthened anti-American feelings inside the Russian society,” he said.

exceptionalturd, does using your sock to lend you a hand in your endless rants against mak make you feel better? As if you have a ‘friend’ so to speak? You need to face reality ,this whole sock business of yours is getting old and worn out. Just like you. Time for you make that long-delayed call to the mental health-line, and get yourself some help. And yes, you can even take ‘mushmind’ with you when you go. You can tell them all about Hitler, how deep China is in overshoot, how greg is out to get you, you know, all the things that matter most to you. You can even tell them about your multi-million$-doomstead and your frequent, jet-setting trips to ‘Italy’.
There are people who get actually paid to listen to the stories lumps of quasi- organic material like you tell, exceptionalturd.
You need to get in touch with them, and soon.

Facts are facts. The message can come from any messenger. It takes intelligence, experience and common sense to sift out the truth. All things you and MM lack.
Being in the gulag called ‘America’, I am observing the very things that are bringing America down. Incompetence, sloth, debt, brainwashed and under-educated serfs, potholes, empty malls, etc. And all in an otherwise prosperous part of Pennsylvania, Carlisle, home of the Army War College, Dickinson College and the Penn State Law School. I can only imagine what it is like in places like Philly and Pittsburgh these days. I don’t plan to visit there this trip.

Davy the Defeated One, who never wants to discuss history in detail, snipes again with his typical generalisations.
The truth is that without the UK and US there would not have been WW1 and WW2.
But the Ango-Zionist problem is solving itself, death by demographic suicide. Our forum satan millimind is gloating 24/7 about the demise of white America, ignoring that without his white serfs his tribe no longer will have a tool to threaten the world with.
And although nobody wants WW3, that doesn’t mean that the US can do what it wants without encountering opposition. Currently over the Iranian issue, the US is completely isolated, not even the UK supports Israel and its two colonies USA and KSA. And now DJT even f* up Korea as well, through his own fault, by imposing ever new demands on NK.

Yes, Manila1, America loves killing the helpless. With malice aforethought and under the Prez’s direction, Veep Pence said that Yankeeland would “Libyanize” North Korea if we didn’t get all our demands met unconditionally. Whereupon a North Korean official close to KJU called Pence a “dummy” (or whatever the word is in Korean). In pretended response, Pence’s boss canceled what was supposed to be a Trump-Kim meeting on June 12, thereby certifying the U.S. plan to militarily regime-change the northern half of the Land of the Morning Calm.
Clearly, John Bolton and Mike Pompeio, now the president’s closest advisers, have decided that North Korea is now helpless enough to be destroyed and thus to show U.S. glory once again. They are convinced that China will allow Yankee troops to stroll on the southern side of the Yalu river, bordering the Middle Kingdom. So (in their opinion), without Chinese interference, we can play “chicken” and win.
One wonders just what odds for winning such an attack the statisticians have promised the D.C. warmongers, so that the DeepState gods now feel confident in advancing to this brink.
Davy on Fri, 25th May 2018 6:05 am
“The truth is that without the UK and US there would not have been WW1 and WW2.”
Nederlies, there is no truth to that except in your fantasy revisions. They were part of the prelude to war but so were your war lusting Nazi thugs.
“And although nobody wants WW3, that doesn’t mean that the US can do what it wants without encountering opposition. “
Liar, personally you obsessively masturbate over war. You broadcast war lust daily and redundantly but with Europe on the sidelines watching. I find that curious because if there is a world war Europe will be in the cross fire, dummy.

“France: Macron Buries Plan to Rehabilitate ‘No-Go Zones”
https://tinyurl.com/y6vh7ch9
“Marine Le Pen, President of the National Front, noted that Macron had failed to address the issues of immigration and Islamism: “Barely a word on immigration, barely a word on Islamic fundamentalism. We know perfectly well that these problems are partly the source of the difficulties in the suburbs. Refusing to see the reality is to condemn oneself to failure.” An estimated six million people — around one-tenth of France’s population — live in 1,500 neighborhoods classified by the government as Sensitive Urban Zones (zones urbaines sensibles, ZUS), priority targets for urban renewal.”
“The authors of the report showed that France — which now has 6.5 million Muslims (the largest Muslim population in European Union) — is on the brink of a major social explosion because of the failure of Muslims to integrate into French society. The report also showed how the problem is being exacerbated by radical Muslim preachers, who are promoting the social marginalization of Muslim immigrants in order to create a parallel Muslim society in France that is ruled by Sharia law.”

There is something beautiful blossoming between the forum satan millimind and his water carrier meathead.
Anglos-Zionism in action on a micro-level.
Millimind opines that Russia needs to be destroyed in a first nuclear strike and that white women need to be raped, “because they can’t dance”.
Meathead is slightly more diplomatic, but nevertheless insists against all evidence that the US is one giant peace movement, whose main task in life consist of keeping waring countries apart, for their own good. It is bizar but that is really what he thinks.
Millimind and meathead accurately represent the insanity that emanates from Washington.
