Vladimir Putin has warned the US that if Washington deploys long-range missiles in Germany from 2026, Russia will station similar missiles within striking distance of the west.
The US will start deploying long-range fire capabilities in Germany in 2026 in an effort to demonstrate its commitment to Nato and European defence, the Washington and Germany said earlier this month.
The US’s “episodic deployments” are in preparation for longer-term stationing of such capabilities that will include SM-6, Tomahawk cruise missiles and developmental hypersonic weapons that have a longer range than current capabilities in Europe, Washington and Berlin said.
In a speech on Sunday to sailors from Russia, China, Algeria and India to mark Russian navy day in the former imperial capital of St Petersburg, Putin told the US it risked triggering a cold war-style missile crisis with the move.
Or we just ignore the clown…
I can’t remember any warnings Russia has issued that has actually ended up in something real. Not even in the days before Russian troops rolled off the Ukrainian border did they dare to be honest with their intentions. The only thing they were able to do was to sucker punch Ukraine.
So right now, Russia is like an annoying little poodle that is constantly barking.
It barks is because it’s afraid and knows it’s weaker than the dogs around it, just like Russia.
Putin: You better not do that US: OK (starts plans to do it) Putin: Hey! Stop that US: OK (starts to implement the plan) Putin: Hey I said stop US: I don’t work for you Germany: FEUERE DIE RAKETEN AB
