Warning Signs: Do the Russians really are preparing for war?

These days, there has been an increased activity in Russia, some of the events taking place there may seem as if the country is preparing for war seriously.

Conversations for bunker and food rationing, rockets, moving to different areas, politicians say bold predictions - are all these signs of conflict warned the Russian-American?

Office of The Washington Post in an article lists by importance to the first signs of analyzing how they are likely to say that Russia is preparing to fight, follow missany.

New shelters against bombing

A poster that sprang up in a suburb of Moscow urging residents to collect about 500 rubles for the construction of a new housing against the bombing because of "an attack expected nuclear on Russia by the non-friendly, United States and its satellites. "

Does this mean war? Definitely not. It turned out to be a hoax, possibly targeting pensioners, which can "eat" the idea due to nostalgia for the past.

Emergency rationing of bread

Governor of St. Petersburg has approved a plan to provide emergency rations of 300 grams of bread for 20 days each over 5 million residents of the city.

Does this mean war? No! After talking more about one of those acts of public relations.
Russian commentators quickly echoed the period of World War II when the German army held the city - then named Leningrad- in a tight siege for 900 days.

"This amount is more than double the ration during the siege of Leningrad," wrote military analyst Alexander Golts in Yezhednevny Zhurnal. "It is also clear why they are planning only for 20 days, due to modern weapons, no one would need more".

Warmongering politicians

Ultranationalist lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky warned that if America chooses Hillary Clinton as president, "no war".

Does this mean war? No! Zhirinovksy, who has vowed to annex Alaska, to raze Poland and the Baltic, and to enslave Georgia has released the first ever media headlines. But his party ridiculous and contradictory name, she Liberal Democrats Russia controls 39 of 450 seats in the Russian parliament.

And he always votes on the orders of the Kremlin. He is a fan of Donald Trump, but it is too far away from the nuclear button.

Setting up a new army

The Russian government approved amendments to a law that allows to increase military reservists and veterans employing paid six-month contracts.

Does this mean war? Probably not! Golts said that these measures are for the period of "exceptional circumstances", such as natural disasters or in response to public concerns. But one case - that of "maintaining and restoring peace and security" - can be interpreted to mean an activity outside of Russia.

"We can not rule out that Moscow schedule a land operation the largest in Syria," the analyst concludes Golts. His logic: Kremlin continuously reiterated that it would not send troops to fight in other countries. The promise can not be held to professional soldiers. Surely, sending troops to Syria, where Russia has already threatened to strike US aircraft, can bring a ground war. But the amendment of the law is far from the recruitment of soldiers.

Missile Movement

Russia has moved a missile with nuclear capacity to Kaliningrad, a region that restricts the Baltic states.

Does this mean war? Not really! The news has sparked fears among some commentators that are on the brink of nuclear war, and eventually caused concern in the Baltics and Poland, countries that are within range Iskander missiles.

Major-General Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry said that a missile is exposed in order to US spy satellites and the move was part of a regular training. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, a country that restricts Kaliningrad, described the move as a negotiating tactic, though unpleasant./Missany/
