Russia has sent a stark and chilling warning to Donald Trump, as the US Congress prepares to vote on a new batch of sanctions against Moscow.
-snip-
Vladimir Solovyov - a Kremlin apparatchik - warned Trump that Russia could become America's "most terrifying enemy" in a rant on his TV talkshow.
"Maybe Trump simply can't grasp that Russia doesn't care about the national interests of other countries if they contradict those of our own state?" he fumed. Warming to his subject, the Putin stooge continued: "The time when someone like Yeltsin, who randomly emerged from the dust of history, managed to proclaim in Congress that Communism was defeated and 'God bless America and Russia' is gone forever."
Solovyov claimed Russia was facing a threat to its very existence and civilisation, as well as culture - demanding to know why Moscow should submit to "the wishes of the President of the United States". Gripped by an ever growing rage, he thundered: "If you cannot treat us with respect, then instead of a worthy friend and partner, you may find yourself facing the most terrifying enemy you've ever known."
In a final five-word warning to Trump, he hissed that if "350 million Americans" think they can defeat "150 million Russians, then "you clearly don’t understand Russia".

I wouldn’t say Russia is being destroyed, but Putin certainly has subjected them to internal damage that should have been unthinkable for a nuclear superpower.
Invaded by their own mercenary army. Even Moscow attacked. Invaded by Ukraine. Losing strategic assets like bombers. Drone attacks all over the place.
Idiotic. That’s why you don’t start a border war if you can’t achieve your objectives and end it quickly.
Now they’re slugging it out for three plus years against a country they didn’t think could last more than a month.
"Vladimir Rudolfovich Solovyov[a] (Russian: Владимир Рудольфович Соловьёв, born 20 October 1963) is a Russian TV presenter.[9] He has been an anchor on the television show Evening with Vladimir Solovyov on Russia-1 since 2012."- wiki

Oh, I found a great movie for you Maxi. You might pick up a few tricks of the trade. Highly recommended.
Tell Putin to stop threatening America.
No they were on the Soviet Union’s side.
Putin conquer tree line in Donbas! Forward to Berlin!
So you admit that your stupid "tuba" meme is utter hypocrisy.
Thanks!
Tree line. Town, village, city.
I’ll have no problem recognizing you. You’ll be dressed like a chick and willing the shine my boots.🕺🏻😄
Lol! Russia hasn’t captured a city in over 2 years. Last one was a bombed-out Bakhmut that fell to Prigozhin. And Putin rewarded Prigo his best general by blowing him up. Not stronk.
“Your statement belies that you really don’t know much about Russia or its culture going back a 1000 years.”
Yeah buddy that’s the point.
They have the history and culture and are completely wasting it.
Read up on Russia.
Great mathematicians , musicians , etc.
They are a thuggish country, wasting who they COULD BE.
I have read up on Russia.
Whatever. We’re still not going to fight Russia to save th Ukraine. Just give it a rest already.
Your points are well made, perhaps destroyed is the wrong word, but being dismantled maybe a better word. I can see the Russian federation as it now stands ceasing to exist. Cracks are already showing.
Regions that have been neglected, used and abused to suppprt western Russia are starting to make noise.
There is a reason that “internal security” is on par with military spending. FSB now back to full blown KGB with their own prison system and outside the legal apparatus.
What probably always existed to some extent is now fully out in the open.
Russians now know that pitin cannot protect them, economy in trouble, war not going well, certainly not as planned
A former army officer who spent a lot of his career prepping to counter a Soviet attack on Western Europe, used the expression that Putin has “hollowed out” Russia.
He was referring to the lack of leaders throughout society because Putin had them all castrated or eliminated.
However, I do believe he has the support of most Russians. They aren’t used to freedom, and he’s doing a good job with war propaganda.
Propaganda works for a while till you have to believe your lying eyes, and at some point the internal security apparatus is overwhelmed or compromised.
The Wagner “mutiny “ is an example. Few did anything to stop them and even welcomed them
Like most dictatorships, things happen slow…..
Pitins purging of govt officials and oligarchs is a sign things are not well.
As his desperation increases his circle gets smaller, but even those must be nervous. Will I be the next to suffer pitin’s wrath
Revolution and removing of tyrants in Russia is a historical fact and we all know how much pitin loves “history”
Revolution in Russia isn’t that frequent. A dictatorship can operate on a military level. Don’t get me wrong, Russia is a mess. Hitler utterly destroyed Germany, and it fought on to the last inch. Putin has devastated Russia, sadly I don’t think that means it will collapse. Iron clad dictators hold on for a long time.
As said in Doctor Zhivago, Russians have a ‘cursed capacity for suffering’.
lol they do till they don’t.
I think the “law” allowing FSB to operate extra-judiciary prisons…. Is a telling sign
People have always disappeared, fell out windows, and committed “suicide”, I think that will only increase, will there be a Valkyrie event in the future.
Valkyrie failed. I wish, just being realistic. The modern Russian model is Stalin.

Rage is not a wise negotiation strategy, Vlad. Might want to dial it back a bit, since most folks have already been informed by Trump that you’re crazy.
Also, the population of the US and Russia has nothing to do with any major (final) conflict between our two nations. It involves nuclear annihilation... not just of our two nations, but probably of the entire world as a ‘end result’ via nuclear fallout and the domino effect.
As for us not understanding Russia... what we do understand is that the Russian people are not extremely ‘well armed, locked and loaded’ as are most Americans (thanks, Barry/Obama!). So for any ‘boots on the ground’ conflict... Russian troops would find an armed and pissed off American behind every blade of grass. That part we understand very well.
Add to all of that... the fact that we know that the Russian military is now weakened, if not decimated, by the ongoing Ukraine war. Leading us to believe that you (Vlad) are merely whistling past the Russian graveyards here with this overly-aggressive rhetoric.
