He warned World War 3 would be the end of civlisation, and that should "restrain" world powers fron taking "dangerous steps".
Relations between Russia and the West have plunged to Cold War lows amid tensions over Syria, Crimea, NATO build-ups and Sergei Skripal.
Putin said pressure on Russia from the West will end when they realise they are "counter productive".
And he said fears of mutally assured destruction from nuclear is forcing "powers to respect each other".
He said: ""The understanding that a third world war could be the end of civilisation should restrain us from taking extreme steps on the international arena that are highly dangerous for modern civilisation."
"The threat of mutual destruction has always restrained participants of the international arena, prevented leading military powers from making hasty moves, and compelled participants to respect each other.
"US withdrawal from treaties on anti-ballistic missiles is an attempt to put an end to strategic parity, but we will respond to this."
"We believe that the unilateral introduction of all kinds of sanctions does not resolve problems, it only worsens them."

Nonsense.
“The threat of mutual destruction has always restrained participants of the international arena, prevented leading military powers from making hasty moves, and compelled participants to respect each other.
Mutual destruction does not restrain the Mullahs.

Last I heard Vlad makes buddies with the bad ones.It’s not friends, just interests.
Allowing countries such as North Korea and Iran to possess nuclear weapons only makes WWIII even more possible....
...”We believe that the unilateral introduction of all kinds of sanctions does not resolve problems, it only worsens them.”...
So, they create new unresolved problems that require more sanctions. Putin must be a closet Democrat. That’s their kind of behavior.
Except for the drinking, be a little more Yeltsin than Andropov...
Trump does not want a fight with you. I support that too.
But the GD Iranians need a smack down, bigly.
They need to stop annoying the bull, or they're going to get the horns.
No s*** Sherlock. That Vlad is sure a smart guy. /s (in case I needed it)
War. War never changes...
Far more worried about Deep State coups, mainly in the United States.
My second worry would be Islamic takeover of the West through immigration - which is succeeding in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Germany.
WW-III began with Operation Masterdom
in Vietnam
on September 13, 1945
Thought occurred to me today - Germany before WWII had a massive military buildup, which everyone ignored until it was too late. Is Germany once again building an army of "cannon fodder" (i.e, Muslim immigrants).
We can also worry about any leader of a nuclear power who shows a video of how he(Putin) can blow up Florida.
“Allowing countries such as North Korea and Iran to possess nuclear weapons only makes WWIII even more possible....”
Russia has put their full support behind the Norklandia summit and has agreed to promote de-nuclearization as the goal.
But I think we’ll have to trade Ukraine for their support on Iran. That deal can be made.
And it would be a good deal for the US.
if you think WW3 would be bad wait till Jesus hows up - just tossin that out there
Those of us who lived through the Cod War are familiar of having to contemplate annihilation.
The younger generations are gonna soil their pants if anything heats up to similar proportions.
Yeah yeah yeah Vlad. They’ve been saying this since 1945.
