Vladimir Putin boasts he can hit enemies with an 'unpreventable strike' just weeks after Russia fired warning shots in path of British warship

Vladimir Putin boasted yesterday that Russia had the power to launch an 'unpreventable strike' against its enemies in a show of strength following the confrontation with Britain in the Black Sea.

The Russian president told a navy day parade in St Petersburg: 'We are capable of detecting any underwater, above-water, airborne enemy and, if required, carry out an unpreventable strike.'

It comes as military officials announced tests of advanced new weapons – some of which come from an arsenal Mr Putin has described as 'invincible'.

He added: 'The Russian navy today has everything it needs to guarantee the protection of our country and our national interests.'

Putin said Russia had secured its place among the world's leading naval powers, including by developing 'the latest hypersonic precision weapons still unrivalled in the world'.

I don,t blame anyone for protecting themselves against their enemies but wouldn’t it be nice if we could all get along? And so much cheaper.

Maybe this is what Biden was referring to when he said his butt’s been wiped.

Maybe true that he can issue an unpreventable strike. But if he does he'd better strike a lot of stuff and leave it in ruins. Because we have the ability to turn nations into ash heaps if it comes to it.

Of course he knows Biden is a weak and compromised pupped so he can sabre rattle all he wants without having to follow through because Biden will do nothing even if shots are fired.

Most strike scenarios are “unpreventable” in the strictest sense. Knocking ordnance out of the sky is a game of percentages, still.

The prevention that works virtually every time is called deterrence.

The exact, diametric opposite. He is saying “don’t even think about starting a war with us, because we will ****ing own you!”. Russians right now have no interest in war. Just leave them the hell alone.

"Russians right now have no interest in war. Just leave them the hell alone."

But, but, "Russia, Russia, Russia!"

Putin would do well to stop the boasting; and we would do well to stop the meddling and false flagging.
