Big-mouthing again
The Kremlin threatened to strike European capitals in response to the deployment of American missiles.
"America continues to make money, Europe is in the crosshairs of our missiles, our country is in the crosshairs of American missiles in Europe. <… >We have enough capacity to deter these missiles. But the potential victims are the capitals of these states," press parrot pesky Peskov told propagandist Pavel Zarubin.
At the same time, Peskov added that earlier "we went through all this," and found such a situation "paradoxical." "The United States deployed different types of missiles, of different ranges, but traditionally aimed at our country."
Conveniently omitting that that the ruZZian Fuckeration has significantly increased the number of weapons, especially among the systems that pose a threat to Europe, as noted by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who said that the deployment of US missiles in Germany is in line with Berlin's national security strategy.
Conveniently also omitting that ruZZia was the one to suspend russia’s participation in the 2010 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) on February 21, 2023, undermining arms control. Abandoning arms control is part of Putin’s modus operandi. Russia also suspended participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty in 2007, and in 2014 was found to be in non-compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Putin also moved with all pomp and glory nuclear weapons to Belarus in violation of nuclear non-proliferation agreements to frighten the Western allies.
Putin is a nuclear bully, attempting to use nuclear threats to deter conventional Western support and intervention in Ukraine. He is intentionally increasing nuclear risks, believing that NATO members have a lower risk tolerance than Moscow and do not care enough about the fate of Ukraine to continue supporting them.
At the same time, the russian capacity of really attack the West with any kind of missiles is still deemed low by analysts.
