Putin: we're not going to make war on anyone

On the question of who Russia will wage war with, Mr. Putin replied: "We are not going to war against anyone. We will create the conditions so that no one thinks of fighting with us. At the head, no one came. " "This is what we adhere to. Today, we cost seventh place, he added. – We have in front of the United States, for me, this is the Donald (asset, President of the United States – about "RG") said, they have a crazy budget spent for next year 738 , in my opinion, billions.

On the question of a journalist explaining why the American leader has no longer signed security treaties, the Russian leader noted that this is another related issue understanding what security is and how to provide it. On this subject, Putin can debate with anyone. "I think that is actually a mistake. It is necessary to renew the start-3 contract. But this is a separate subject, "he said.

the head of state returns to the subject of defense spending: first the USA, the second China, the third Saudi Arabia, then the United Kingdom, then France, then Japan, then Russia takes seventh place. "In addition, our costs from year to year are reduced. And the costs of other countries are going up, ”compared to Putin.

"We are not going to fight, but we are creating the defense situation, no one in a head has come to fight with us," said the president. And now there is a unique situation that was not in the memory of the contemporary history of Russia. Previously, the strategic weapons of our country overtook the “competitors”. "The atomic bomb first, the Americans did it, we caught up with the means of delivery then in the form of strategic aviation – the Americans, we caught up." The missiles first, they did it, we were catching up, "said the head of state. Now it’s different. "We first created these offensive strike weapon systems that are not in the world. Now they are catching up. It’s a unique situation, it’s never happened before, ”he said.

the reporter’s remark that, “as taught by Comrade Chekhov, whether hanging on the wall of a hypersonic pistol in the third act or in the second, he must fire”, Putin explained that this rule is for the theater, but for real life in the area of ​​security and politics is another rule: "It will shoot, if you hold on to one scene. And if it is the same rifle hung in the next step, it is unlikely that the one who hung it side by side, allow yourself to use it ". "This is a situation called strategic stability and the balance of power", – said the head of state. "Thanks to this strategic balance of the world took place after World War II great military conflicts," he added.

"By the way, by creating a missile defense system, the Americans wanted to break this strategic stability and this strategic balance, believing that if they went beyond the will to create an anti-missile umbrella, the other party would not be able to react appropriately in the event of the use of nuclear weapons, the president continued. But by creating these modern complexes, including the complexes, easily overcoming any missile defense system, we have this strategic stability and this strategic balance saved. ” And that is fundamentally important not only for us, but also for international security, said Putin.
