    Default Putin to U.S.: I'm ready for another Cuban Missile-style crisis if you want one

    Nice work comrade Trump AND THE GOP, nuclear war looking more and more likely


    Source: Reuters

    Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia is militarily ready for a Cuban Missile-style crisis if the United States wanted one and threatened to place hypersonic nuclear missiles on ships or submarines near U.S. territorial waters.

    The Cuban Missile Crisis erupted in 1962 when Moscow responded to a U.S. missile deployment in Turkey by sending ballistic missiles to Cuba, sparking a standoff that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

    More than five decades on, tensions are rising again over Russian fears that the United States might deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe, as a landmark Cold War-era arms-control treaty unravels.

    Putin's comments, made to Russian media late on Wednesday, follow his warning that Moscow will match any U.S. move to deploy new missiles closer to Russia by stationing its own missiles closer to the United States or by deploying faster missiles or both.

    not gonna happen. This is Putin justifying his INF missiles.
    The US/NATO doesn't need them -Russia does because of the balance of power favoring NATO

    I am amused by morons who don't know that the US and Russia already deploy missile carrying submarines in areas where the response time would be 8 minutes.

    Putin is covering up for Donald. he knows what Trump's policies are and he loves them. But again, he has to help Trump get elected. This is just a bad shot at covering up the Russian collusion. Anyone interested in politics can see through this.

    It is quite obvious that Putin is trying to help trump ...again. Someone in trump's circus must have called Putin or one of his comrades and said ' Mueller is about to expose what happened, so we have to stage something to make it look like trump is not sucking putin's massive cock' Voila! a fake threat against America.

    If this was a genuine threat, trump would have declared a national emergency.

    Instead we get DEATHLY SILENCE from the whitehouse.

    Too busy whining about the Mueller investigation and some black guy allegedly staging a hate crime.

    Ronnie mopped the floor with Gorbie. Putin is probably a much more challenging opponent, though, because Gorbachev inherited a decaying empire. Yeltsin took care of Russia's postwar troubles with the bankruptcy, among other measures. He handed Putin a Russia that was recovering and ready to climb back up.

    but Putin is developing hypersonics, and getting closer to China.. Not that I expect any war either-
    but Putin is trying to talk INF nukes out of Europe by NATO
