Putin: "War is coming in Europe"

Unfortunately, Putin is correct. The US is intent on dragging Russia into a war and is using every opportunity to pit Europe against Russia. 

The sanctions will hurt Europe and they will eventually be forced into supporting NATO action as the only solution to end the sanctions. So far Putin has played the situation masterfully but every move he makes is met with bluster, propaganda and bullying by the US. It is a move by the Obama administration to force European countries to choose between Russia and the US driven by the possible growth of the Russian economy through BRICS, the China Russia gas deal and the move away from the US petro dollar and reserve currency. 

The US policy of not allowing any nation to become as powerful as themselves, drives the strategy of a European versus Russia war where the US can watch both sides pay a heavy price, both in economical and human terms, then profit through the supply of arms, loans and other support when the timing is right. 

Putin, who is the master of the strategic game, will need to somehow convince European Leaders of the folly they are being manipulated into or war will come. Unfortunately, most EU leaders have proven themselves to be weak willed when it comes to standing against the UK and US and Putin knows this. 

There is indeed war coming in Europe and European Leaders seem intent on their own self destruction for the sake of the US Empire.
