Zhirinovsky at a rally of the LDPR threatened the third world nuclear war
LDPR also held its rally. “Summer is coming after a month later, and it’s still cold. The fact that we cannot stand in summer clothes and with wider smiles is a problem,” Zhirinovsky said at a rally organized by the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia on Pushkin Square on Sunday.
According to the leader of the LDPR, an unfavorable climate has a negative impact on the economy. In addition, he noted that despite the change of several regimes, the Russians still live poorly. "We were not very rich in the king, the same thing is happening now. We have experienced three regimes over the past hundred years, and during this time, people have not changed," Zhirinovsky said.
In his opinion, on May 1, workers, and peasants, and employees, and Russians should be jointly jointly. “If we cannot defeat the external enemy, then the works of our ancestors and ours will be completely in vain. It was so when we were drawn into the Russo -Japanese War, the First World War and other conflicts,” Zhirinovsky noted.

At the same time, not a separate army of France is used, but all the forces of NATO,” Zhirinovsky emphasized. In his opinion, the countries of the West receive economic benefits from such conflicts. “Today they refused the invasion of Iran and started a war in Libya. Libya is Spain of the 36th year. Iran will be Poland on the 39th,” Zhirinovsky added.
He emphasized that he considers these "military conflicts to prepare for the possible beginning of the Third World Nuclear War." According to the leader of the LDPR, the main reason for the outbreak of military conflicts is the crisis in the economy of Western countries. “The dollar finally choked, he already had a few left. The American economy is on the verge of collapse, Obama is an American Gorbachev,” the party leader concluded.
