Russia's Putin: The US is parking missiles "on the porch of our house"

Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Sky News that the US and NATO are expanding onto Russia's borders - and not the other way around.
At his traditional end of year news conference, Mr Putin answered questions from the world's media. And he told Sky News' Russia Correspondent Diana Magnay that his country wasn't threatening anybody and that he didn't want conflict in Ukraine. But he said the ball "is in the West's court".

I remember the 1962 Cuban crisis. Cuba, a sovereign state , agreed to host Soviet IRBMs and America almost started WW3 to prevent what was actually a legal move.

Quite so, as legal as the USA basing missiles in Turkey The USA removed these when the Russians removed their missiles from Cuba. A tit for tat deal.

But to date, we are the only nation to ever use nukes. We began the nuclear arms race in earnest with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And since then, every nation with the capacity to do so - has begun to develop nuclear weapons.

[@MrDragonAttack1]

That's just what the USA dose best

[@johnwang9914]

Certainly reminiscent of the Cuba missile crisis but remember that the Soviet Union placed missiles in Cuba in response to the US placing missiles in Turkey which is on Russia's doorsteps and would allow for no warning of an attack on Moscow. Also, the Cuba missile crisis was ended by the US agreeing to pull out the missiles from Turkey. The Soviet Union got what they wanted from that crisis and it was the US that blinked. The allusion to the missile crisis is just to distract from whatever his goals may be. There are no missiles going into the Ukraine other than the Russian missiles that shot down the Malaysian air liner and it's just that the Ukraine wants to join NATO which would've made the green soldiers activities in Crimea difficult to do without NATO opposition. Even the concern of the Ukraine joining NATO is superfluous as Turkey is a member of NATO and on Russia's door step, having Ukraine join would be little different. Putin just wants his citizens to blame everything on the US.

@joan s: Perhaps that was why he sounded so terse, he felt like everyone should already be aware of Russia's position on the Ukraine-NATO thing. What he missed was that the message had not been passed on to ordinary people in the West, who were being groomed by their own governments and media to be in a state of ignorance, and thus more easily whipped into compliant rage when Russia eventually felt forced into a military response.

[@dmitriyvet9893]

European politicians associate Putin with Russia. They directly say that the problem is not with Putin, the problem is with Russia as a country. Putin in their eyes is the personification of a strong Russia, so they hate him, and, for example, Yeltsin was the personification of a weak Russia, so everyone in Europe loved him, and Bill Clinton approvingly patted him on the shoulder. The West (Europe and America) has always hated and despised (and feared in their hearts, seeing it as a threat) Russia, and this has always been the case, for hundreds of years. The reason is that Russia simply has a different culture, religion, values, everyday life, food, attitude towards people than in Europe. And this cultural and civilizational gap is very large. Therefore, Europe for centuries tried to somehow weaken, and ideally destroy Russia. Both Napoleon and Hitler tried to do this.

The USA parked missiles In Turkey, that started the cuban missile crisis.

[@haruyanto8085]

No what started it was the attempted invasion and assassination of Cuban leaders

[@donone1493]

Absolutely right

[@V01DIORE]

Old news. I’m pretty sure any such supposed missiles is an irrelevance deflecting from the fact they are invading Ukraine, it is their (Ukraine’s) own country and they deserve the decision to go to which is best for their country. NATO is not a pact of mutual attack, it is of *mutual defence.* If Putin is threatened by that then it suggests he is threatened by *defence,* in other words he has an eye on attacking nations not under it’s banner and fears losing out on the profits from doing so.

[@ingus5552]

@@V01DIORE Very good point. I am not Ukrainan, but I remeber how Putin lied about occupation of Crimea and after anexation of Crimea said that there were our sodiers. He is a liar. Putin says that Russia is not a threat. Why they attacked Ukraine in 2014.
