Putin warns US against deploying long-range missiles in Germany

Vladimir Putin has warned the US that if Washington deploys long-range missiles in Germany from 2026, Russia will station similar missiles within striking distance of the west.

The US will start deploying long-range fire capabilities in Germany in 2026 in an effort to demonstrate its commitment to Nato and European defence, the Washington and Germany said earlier this month.

The US’s “episodic deployments” are in preparation for longer-term stationing of such capabilities that will include SM-6, Tomahawk cruise missiles and developmental hypersonic weapons that have a longer range than current capabilities in Europe, Washington and Berlin said.

In a speech on Sunday to sailors from Russia, China, Algeria and India to mark Russian navy day in the former imperial capital of St Petersburg, Putin told the US it risked triggering a cold war-style missile crisis with the move.

Putin doesn’t warn; all he does is threaten.

[…]Russia will station similar missiles within striking distance of the west.

Both of them?

Well…we already lost the war for pacifism…now let’s see if we win the war for peace by showing russia that it gains nothing by invading anyone.

But you’re not actually gonna do anything about it, Putin, because you’re a fucking coward and will only actually attack those weaker than you.

Sounds like Cuba 2.0. The deal struck was that the Soviets pull out of cuba and the US remove its missiles, quietly to save face.

We really ought to just respond to all of Putin’s bullshit warnings with that exact same warning, but about staying in Ukraine.

“By remaining in Ukraine, Russia risks triggering a cold war-style missile crisis!”

“If Russian forces stay in Ukraine, there will be dire consequences!”

Etc.

Feed him his own word salad and don’t put any more thought into it.

Or we just ignore the clown…

I can’t remember any warnings Russia has issued that has actually ended up in something real. Not even in the days before Russian troops rolled off the Ukrainian border did they dare to be honest with their intentions. The only thing they were able to do was to sucker punch Ukraine.

So right now, Russia is like an annoying little poodle that is constantly barking.

It barks is because it’s afraid and knows it’s weaker than the dogs around it, just like Russia.

Putin: You better not do that US: OK (starts plans to do it) Putin: Hey! Stop that US: OK (starts to implement the plan) Putin: Hey I said stop US: I don’t work for you Germany: FEUERE DIE RAKETEN AB

Russia complaining about ground-launched Tomahawks in Germany? If only there was some kind of treaty preventing that exact scenario

NobodyElse ,

They were in violation of that treaty themselves and the US is no longer a party to it (as of 2019).

In this case Russia is facing Germany AND the US.

I like those odds.
