response to the
shooting in
Moscow which left 137 people dead will be a "substantial" step towards , an expert has warned. The
Russian president threatened "oblivion" for the gunmen who carried out the Crocus City Hall shooting as
ISIS claim they were behind the attack. But Putin and his
Kremlin cronies maintain was responsible and even suggested the US and
UK were involved. Warmonger Putin may already have a three-part plan in place as a response to the though an expert speaking to the Daily Star warned it would push the world closer to global warfare. Speaking to the Daily Star, Professor Anthony Glees said: "Indeed, we have moved a substantial step closer to a more general war with and we need to get real about this right now, from today." The shift towards worldwide conflict comes as Putin aims to "pulverize Ukraine" which would mark a "serious escalation" of the raging conflict. Professor Glees warned: "This is in itself a serious escalation in the war and one which will have the most serious consequences." This escalation would see the world pushed closer to all-out conflict and may mean
Russia moves its troops past
Ukraine and into the Baltic States in an effort to "frighten"
NATO members. "[Putin] will begin to prepare the ground for an attack on the Baltic States, using the Kaliningrad enclave as his launch-pad for an operation to seal off the eastern Baltic and try to frighten NATO ships back beyond Swedish waters," Professor Glees warned. The UK government has already responded to the Kremlin's claim of involvement in the shooting and labelled it a "ridiculous" allegation. The US had previously warned Putin of an imminent attack though the despot brushed it off as a "blackmail" attempt. Kremlin head Putin is believed to be preparing a three-part plan for all-out assault in Ukraine and will use his chilling KGB training and "salami tactics" previously used by dictator Josef Stalin to disrupt Ukrainian fighters and potentially the world.
