Putin Pushes the Reset Button—
In an interview Friday Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the west, “You don’t want to mess with us… Russia is one of the most powerful nuclear powers.”
“I want to say immediately that Russia is far from getting involved into any large-scale conflicts. We do not want and do not intend to do this. I want to remind you that Russia is one of the most powerful nuclear nations. This is a reality, not just words. We are strengthening our nuclear deterrence forces and our armed forces. They are getting more compact and more efficient at the same time. They are getting more modernized in terms of their supply with the latest armaments. We continue building up this potential and we’ll be doing this in the future.”
