“Our country does not threaten anyone. Russia, like all other nuclear powers, is developing its nuclear potential, developing its strategic potential,” TASS quotes the Russian dictator as saying. “Everything we are talking about now is work that has been announced for a long time,” he added.
Putin also talked about the Burevestnik test. According to him, the Russians tested it on October 21 in the area where a NATO submarine was currently operating. “Just let them look,” he commented on this fact according to another TASS report.
Although the Russian leader claims that Russia does not threaten anyone, Russian propagandists and politicians regularly threaten Europe and the USA in a number of programs on Russian state television.
Last week, for example, the Russian “military expert” Andrej Klintsevich talked about the fact that Britain could be “hit by a tsunami and never find out where it came from”. According to him, the radioactive wave will “wash away the cities”.
Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov then threatens nuclear strikes on Lviv in western Ukraine, which would also affect Poland, or the annihilation of the whole of Europe, if Russia stands in the way of its geopolitical goals.
