Kremlin: Russia is a bear, not a paper tiger
APA ^ | 9/24/2025 | Farid Akbarov

Posted on 09/24/2025 3:51:24 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Russia is a “paper tiger,” APA’s Moscow bureau reports.

Peskov stated that Russia is not a tiger, but a bear. “Russia is a bear, there is no such thing as a ‘paper bear,’” he said while commenting on Trump’s remarks.

And yet a Ukrainian pick up team from a country with 1/4th the population and 1/10th the GDP has fought them to a standstill....indeed humiliatingly so.

Russia would be better served demonstrating by these types of facts how they are not a threat to NATO......

Other than nukes, which may of may not work being Russian after all....Russia is indeed a toothless “paper bear”.

I have no regard for either Russia or Ukraine maybe because I am the granddaughter of a Russian born in Ukraine when it was a part of Russia, pre USSR. My grandmother lived through the Bolsheviks, then left for China, lived through WW II and the Japanese invasion of China, emigrated to the US. Never looked back.

If Russia is a paper Bear, then the American Eagle has had it’s wings clipped by never-ending wars since 1993. Billy Boy Clinton set in slow motion, the seeds of NATO defeat over thirty years later.

When Trump pulls the Hoodini Act of supporting Ukraine to out sourcing it to our own NATO, everyone has the idea that the EUropeans are now paying for the conflict. Nothing could be further from the truth. The US provides the majority of NATO funding, and over 90% of the collective’s airlift capacity.

The only functioning facet of the US economy is the Military Industrail Complex; the rest is hollowed out and facing recession. That the USG can still print fiat to support the Never Ending Wars with Trump fanning the flames around the world thru his Sanctions War on Brics and outright military hostilities like the Negotiating Scam that led to sneak attacks on Moscow and Terhan, then Venezula, and the destruction of Syria. The long awaited pivot to BTC is the only way the US can afford to continue Globe Trotting.

We have our version of Nero to worry about who is the gate keeper for Caligula’s (Epstein-CIA)hold on the elites.

Then take Ukraine. We’ll give you 1 month. Take all of Ukraine in a month without using weapons of mass destruction and Trump and the entire western world will update their atlas’. I suspect you still couldn’t do it.

Imagine the lives some people have lead, my wife took care of a woman who died recently and was 96
She was Dutch and lived through the nazi occupation, not to mention all the other changes she saw throughout her life

Memory was sharp as a tack till the end

If you need to tell people you’re a bear, you are not a bear.

If Ruzzia so weak, tell your Zelensky to get out of his defensive positions,
go on Offense and take ALL his land back from “Paper Tiger” Ruzzia.
Zelensky has Pooty-Poo right where he wants him.
Take advantage of opportunity NOW!
