Russian President, Vladimir Putin
has rubbished the belief that the United States would defeat Russia if the two
engage in a war.
“Nobody would survive the clash,”
Putin told US movie director, Oliver Stone for The Putin Interviews.
Putin also expressed concern of
US military action and its NATO alliance.
“NATO is a mere instrument of
U.S. foreign policy,” he said in a clip of the interview, aired by the Showtime
channel on Wednesday
“It has no allies, it has only
vassals. Once a country becomes a NATO member, it is hard to resist the
pressures of the United States.”
In 2014, NATO kicked against
Moscow’s annexation of Crimea and has since stationed its resources to defend
allies near Russia.
In its response, Russia warned
that the move is aggressive and has vowed to respond with its own deployments.
And recently, Poland and Romania
say they will host elements of a US missile shield but Putin says this is just
another example of US dictated policy.
“In this case, we have to take
countermeasures. We have to aim our missile systems at the facilities that are
threatening us. The situation becomes more tense.”
