Cold War Politics in Sochi
On February 6, the XXII Olympic Winter Games began. A geopolitically tense atmosphere prevails. Security is extremely tight. It's prioritized for good reason. Terrorist attacks are possible. Don't discount potential Washington shenanigans. Perhaps raining on Putin's parade is planned. Obama may want him embarrassed. False flags are a longstanding US tradition. Will Sochi be Washington's next target? The fullness of time will tell.
It's a virtual armed camp. Measures in place are unprecedented. Around $2 billion was spent on security. Ahead of February 6, around 23,000 personnel assured proper measures were in place as planned. Tens of thousands of police officers are deployed. They're backed by helicopters, drones, gunboats, submarines, and 70,000 Russian troops. Hundreds of Cossacks are involved. They'll check IDs. They'll detain suspects.
Sochi's proximity to the North Caucasus raised concerns. Islamist jihadists named it a target. They're US assets. They're used strategically. Washington used likeminded ones against Soviet Russia in Afghanistan. Libya was targeted this way. They comprise America's anti-Syrian proxy death squads.
Russia raised concerns after December Volgograd bombings killed 34 people. Were Washington's dirty hands involved? Is something similar planned for Sochi? Hegemons operate this way. America is by far the worst.
