Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered all Russian companies to ready themselves for a rapid transition to ‘war-time operations.’
Both state-owned and private corporations must be prepared for a potential conflict with the West, Putin warned senior defense officials on Wednesday.
Rt.com reports: “I would like to note that the ability of any economy to rapidly increase the output of defense products and services when it is needed is one of the most important conditions of the nation’s military security. All strategic and… large enterprises must be ready for this,” Putin stated.

The Russian leader added that he and senior defense officials already discussed the issue in 2015 and 2016, and asked those attending the meeting to report which problems of the previous years had been dealt with and which had not.
The conference concerned the results of the Zapad 2017 military exercises held by the Russian and Belarusian military forces in September. Russia sent around 3,000 troops to neighboring Belarus, where they trained at six locations, along with 7,000 soldiers and officers from the host nation. Russia accepted Belarusian troops at three of its own military sites.
Fewer than 13,000 troops took part in the exercise in total, according to figures from the defense ministries of Russia and Belarus. Around 70 aircraft, 680 armored vehicles, including 250 tanks, 200 artillery guns, and 10 warships, were deployed by the two nations.

Queen Elizabeth’s private army, NATO, has ten’s of thousands of troops sitting on Putin’s border. I’d be a little bit paranoid too.
He is not paranoid. He knows what is coming much more than any one of us. In fact open the bible now and go to New Testament Saint John Revelation / Apocalypse. Go to chapter 12 & 13 and read it. This is exactly were we are. 100%
No big deal..nothing will happen….yawwwnnnnnn…
