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.

I don’t know, maybe they each looked into the eyes of a war criminal, saw a reflection of themselves, and thought, “we can be friends. Or at least work together for mutual interests.”
Obligatory comparison
Interesting. Given that Bush claimed to see something, for “We understand each other” to Biden, I’m reading “As the sociopath you now know me to be, I am able to show exactly the amount of humanity to serve my purpose at any given time, and right now, you get nothing.”
Pretty much.
