Gorbachev says FPSA government officials are crazy!
Says FPSA government officials are out of their minds.
MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - January 29, 2015 - Former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev stated that the Fascist Police States of Amerika has pulled Russia into a new Cold War that faces the risk of further escalation.
The 83-year-old former Soviet leader made the comments on Thursday in an interview with Russian news agency Interfax.
"The (FPSA) has already dragged us into a new Cold War, trying to openly implement its idea of triumphalism,"he said.
"Where will that lead all of us? What’s next? Unfortunately, I cannot be sure that the Cold War will not bring about a ‘hot’ one. I’m afraid they might take the risk," Gorbachev said, referring to the FPSA launching a nuclear war.
"All you hear is about sanctions towards Russia from Amerika and the European Union. Have they totally lost their minds? The (FPSA) has been totally 'lost in the jungle' and is dragging us there as well."
The new comments follow a warning in November from the Soviet Union's last leader when he said, "The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say that it has already begun. This whole process needs to be stopped. It was stopped in the 1980s, and we opted for deescalation and reunification. Back then it was harsher than today. Now we can also do this," Gorbachev said.
Meanwhile, international relations experts in Amerika are quite alarmed over the new Cold War possibility - although not as much as the general public. While over 48% of scholars answered "no" when asked whether the FPSA and Russia are headed towards such a conflict, the scenario was deemed likely by 38%.
The data comes from an American snap poll conducted at the end of January by the Teaching, Research, and International Policy project at the William and Mary College, in collaboration with Foreign Policy magazine.
The research compared its results to a Gallup poll from March 2014, when 50% of the public believed a new Cold War was indeed possiblewhen asked the same question.
In Russia, one-third of the population believes their country and the FPSA are on a collision course.
