Putin: Russia Will Be 'At War' With US, NATO If Ukraine Given Missiles

The Kremlin has begun a counteroffensive to push back the first military incursion into Russian territory since World War II, as President Vladimir Putin warned that long-range strikes into Russia would elevate the conflict with Ukraine into direct war with NATO. #putin #russia #ukraine #zelensky #politics #worldnews

On Thursday, Putin said Ukraine’s army is unable to use long-range Western high-precision weapons for strikes deep inside Russia without NATO specialists.

If they do so, this “will mean that #NATO countries - the United States, and European countries - are at war with Russia,” Putin said in St. Petersburg. “If this is the case, then, bearing in mind the very essence of this conflict will be changed,” he said, saying Russia would make “appropriate decisions” based on new threats.

If the people starting wars were forced to be on the front lines there would never be another war

“War is just young men dying for old men in dark suits.”

“Young men whom do not know each other, fighting for old men who hate each other.”

NO! Stop having wars! The people do NOT want war! Politicians should sort it out between themselves!! Get a boxing ring or something!!! Stop involving innocent people who are just trying to LIVE!!!

[Cman]

If the people said no, the only ones fighting would be the leaders. SAY NO PEOPLE!!!!

😂😂 that's why Ukraine's already inside Russia and if they could get in I am 100% sure United States or the European countries could get in as well

[janrechenberg]

The Problem are the politician and not the human in the country. We dont wanna have war. The politicians wanna have war.

[danking]

Go back to the days that leaders went first into battle . So how many wars would be fought then

[goldagoldstein]

Just leave the Ukraine and all be fine! Dont and suffer the consequences. Enough talk, put up or shut up Putin.

[nomandoerr]

If you are a soldier, fight the true enemy, not the other soldiers.

[thereviewa]

The current world leaders need to change. We need leaders for people and peace not those for war and hidden agendas.

[johnnywalker]

All this guy thinks about is war. He's obsessed with it.

[freshimpactco.]

World War 1 and 2 was a hard lesson taught to our grandparents and great grandparents. They spoke little of the horrors to shelter us from the pain and the horrors they experienced.

If you need a reminder, look no further than historical video footage and images of those horrific times. Who would be foolish enough to fight and see those horrors lived again?

[DivineGoddessLadyT]

Stop this WAR. We need Peace ☮️ on Earth.

[Linandemma]

I am actually scared. I'm a UK citizen, and I'm scared. WHY IS THE WORLD IN SUCH A MESS. If you're white, it seems you have few rights nowadays. Cheers, Starmer. I EXPECT THIS MESSAGE WILL BE REMOVED. I AM SICK OF LIES LIES LIES from our media and government.

No one but Putin alone is responsible for Ukraines suffering and for his own and Russias eventual demise. Time for the doctor to taste his own medicine.
