More than 40 million people will take part in the nationwide nuclear preparedness exercises in Russia between October 4th and 7th, according to the director of the Department of Civilian Defense, Oleg Manuilo.

More than 200,000 emergency specialists and 50,000 units of equipment will be involved in the exercises.

All civil defence systems will be set to readiness status, and all of the regional municipalities will check communications and medical assistance readiness.

Here are just a few reasons for Russians to be worried:

The United States and Europe have worked overtime in the last two years trying to convince their citizens of Russia’s “aggressiveness.” Forget about the destruction of the Middle East, unleashed by the United States and its “allies,” the Western media is trying hard to convince its gullible public that the aggressor is Russia, headed by the “evil mastermind” and the scapegoat for every occasion – Vladimir Putin.

Misinformation and outright lies about Russia has become business as usual in the Western mainstream media. Misdirecting attention or blaming Russia for crimes committed by the United States and its allies in the Middle East has reached the United Nations, where recently Samantha Powers referred to Russia’s action in Syria as “barbarism,” not counter-terrorism.

Russian Ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin replied: “In all my years in international life, which is over forty years, I’ve never seen such an extraordinary display of American heavy-handedness as we are witnessing today.”

The accusations of Russia “bombing the humanitarian aid convoy” or of “Russians committing crimes in Syria” are so reminiscent of “WMD in Iraq” or “Assad gassing his own people” that the Kremlin surely takes notice – any U.S. military action to overthrow a foreign leader started with the vilification of that leader. And don’t we know by now how evil the Russian leader is? Just turn on CNN – you will find out!

According to the main mouthpiece of the U.S. State Department, The New York Times, Russia is an “outlaw state,” evidently, because it dares to fight ISIS in Syria. For doing so, The New York Times calls for more sanctions on Russia.
