Even If Russia Had Sunk British Warship, It Wouldn’t Have Started WW3 - Putin by mevap70: 3:28pm On Jun 30, 2021 |
Even if Russia had sunk British warship, it wouldn’t have started WW3 because US & UK know they can't win such a conflict - Putin President Vladimir Putin has slammed the violation of Russian territorial waters by British warship HMS Defender as a "provocation," He also claimed that London's American allies had a hand in last week's incident, near Crimea. However, apparently casting doubt on NATO’s Article V collective defense pact, the Russian leader claimed that even if Moscow had sunk the vessel, it wouldn’t have led to World War III. President Vladimir Putin has slammed the violation of Russian territorial waters by British warship HMS Defender as a “provocation.” He also claimed that London’s American allies had a hand in last week’s incident near Crimea. However, apparently casting doubt on NATO’s ‘Article V’ collective defense pact, the Russian leader claimed that, even if Moscow had sunk the vessel, it wouldn’t have led to World War III, because the “provocateurs” know they wouldn’t be able to win. Speaking at his annual ‘Direct Line’ call-in show, Putin revealed that a US strategic airplane took off from an airfield on the island of Crete and flew towards Russia on the morning before HMS Defender entered Russian waters. However, despite the provocation, the two NATO members do not want a conflict, and it is not true to say that the world is now standing on the brink of a world war, he said. “Even if we had sunk that ship, it would still be hard to imagine that the world would be on the brink of World War III,” the president said. “Because those who are doing this know that they can’t get out of this war victorious. That’s a very important thing.” The president also pondered the exact reasons for the British provocation, noting that matters discussed at his recent summit with his American counterpart, Joe Biden, in Geneva might offer an explanation. “Why was it necessary to make such a provocation? For what?” he asked. “To show that they have no respect for the choice of the Crimeans to join Russia?” Putin also slammed the West for its hypocrisy, noting that Moscow had ordered its troops to move away from Ukraine’s border earlier this year, after Russia had received complaints. “We did it. But instead of reacting to it positively and saying: ‘OK, we understand your reaction to our indignation,’ instead, what did they do? They have come to our borders,” Putin said. https://www.rt.com/russia/527976-nato-defender-world-war/ 1 Like |

Anago55: I would say he(Putin) acts more than he says. In so many theaters that he has intervened, he was quite decisive in his action. Look at Syria, literarily halted the western regime change efforts in that country. When the west ravaged Ukraine with maidan, he act beyond expectation with the seizure of Crimea, Donbass region. Look at his exploits in Georgia, Moldova etc. I read his last phone-in interview transcript. I would say this guy is by far better than the western presidents that speak from both side of the mouth. He appears truthful and determined in his pursuit to make Russia a self-sufficient nation 4 Likes |

Putin talks? Putin is known all over for action. He talk less and like making a statement through action. Tell me any western president or PM that can sit with any press from any country to be interviewed for hours? Even anti-Putin news like BBC, AJ, CNN and DW but the still respect him for that, because we have never see any western leaders sit for interview with any Russia media Anago55: |
