“If Europe suddenly wants to start a war with us and starts it,” Putin said, then it would end so swiftly for Europe that there would be no one to negotiate with in Europe. Putin used the Russian word for “war”. He also suggested that the war in Ukraine was not a full-blown war and that Russia was acting in a “surgical” manner which would not be repeated in a direct confrontation with European powers. “If Europe suddenly wants to fight with us and starts, we are ready right now,” Putin said.
NOTE: imo there is a lot of saber-rattling going on lately. Its all part of the political game. Pls let’s keep our heads cool with clickbait titles and speculations. I can sympathise with the worries and that these are trying times for us.
Putin or Russian state media threatened us several times already with their nukes and how they’re going to fight us. This isn’t anything new. He was already supposed to nuke us when we sided with Ukraine, gave money to them, when we provided weapons to them. I believe something like that was said in connection to the sanctions. There was supposed to be a skirmish in the baltic sea if we don’t let the rusty oil smuggle ships pass… and then there was a new threat with each new delivered weapon type, tanks, missiles, aircraft and probably countless other incidents when Russia supposedly was going to engage in war with the rest of Europe. Yet here we are…
