RUSSIAN INSTITUTE FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES: NATO IS ATTEMPTING TO “REVOLUTIONIZE THE CURRENT WORLD ORDER” (Source blacklistednews.com) The tense situation between Ukraine and the United States is outlined in a paper released earlier this month by the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS). A week prior to the downing of Malaysian flight 17, the institute warned that the west “refuses to adhere to the principles and norms of international law and the rules and spirit of the existing system of international relations.” Much like the United States Army War College Strategic Studies Institute, RISS provides “…information support to the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council, the State Duma and the Security Council as well as to Government offices, ministries and departments”. The paper warns that the United States and NATO are attempting to create a “new world order” out of the Ukrainian situation that will impose totalitarian global laws and regulations. The authors state that because this system will meet resistance, the threat of war needs to be maintained.
