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.

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

Wouldn't bet on it ... they created 'Tsar Bomba' over 60 years ago, and they have 6500+ nukes of all sizes in reserve. They also have SSBNs, which could wipe out half of the US in 1 launch.

Tread lightly ...

IMO, people do not “get old” until they start acting like old people...

Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $16k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we're gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

Pitin would like that, even the allies waited for Germans to be softened up before Normandy

I don’t think there is anyone who thinks that Ukraine can go toe to toe with Russia, and nor should they, let Russia do the meat wave attacks.

The current strategy is to bleed Russia both militarily and economically

Have always said the end will come from a political collapse resulting from economic collapse in Russia.

“Russia is a bear”

It’s a whore.
