President Vladimir Putin warned foreign rivals on Wednesday against "crossing the red line" with Russia, as he gave a key speech amid deep tensions with the West over Ukraine and jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
Several thousand of Navalny's supporters took to the streets in nationwide demonstrations against his detention, but the protests were not on the scale seen earlier this year, when tens of thousands rallied and thousands were arrested.
Addressing lawmakers and senior officials in his annual state of the nation address, Putin said Russia would respond swiftly and harshly to moves against its interests and condemned what he said had been a coup attempt in ally Belarus.

Now we get to see who really means it.
Who cares about Russia?
Too bad, Putin’s an ex-KGB authoritarian. He runs rings around the feckless Xiden administration.
Note the not-so-subtle dig at the Kenyan Ex-President. Putin understands ‘face” and knows that Xiden and Kerry have none. Kerry was good at shooting up ARVN troopers and civilians. Not much else. Xiden’s good at pawing little girls and and stuffing his pockets with public and foreign cash and little else.
Putin is testing NATO and I suspect it will come up wanting.
“Putin is testing NATO and I suspect it will come up wanting.”
Hopefully NATO collapses into a laughing stock.
Ukraine delenda est.
F Putin
After they kill breathing Russians.
Agree...we are in a tough spot.
2017, 2018 2019, and 2020. We never had to worry about Putin challenging us during this time.
Gee. I wonder what changed?
You’re aware that will never happen, right?
No US president has ever committed US troops against Russia.
Ever.
And only a national suicide wish will change that.
Tyrants love vacuums.
Hope for something else.
Yes Putin is that, and it's not hard to run rings around the Xiden Regime.
Russia has to go with what they've got, as do we, and every one of those NATO Countries will fight to the Last Drop of American Blood.
Then they'll Surrender.
You want us to move into Ukraine?
Madness!
The Poles will fight the Russians before the Americans, they’ll move if the Russians cross the Dnieper.
Well, if NATO wants to continue without the US I’ll wish them well.
But I adamantly advocate for US withdraw from NATO.
America was cheated out of her Trump Card.
“they’ll move if the Russians cross the Dnieper”
Not without US forces moving with them.
So it will not happen.
Poland projecting force more than 500 miles away? Yeah, right.
Kiev Offensive 1920
That was 100 years ago and they got their ass kicked.
Biden better not be responsible for an assassination attempt in Belarus.
