He has warned NATO.
The US had been conducting military exercises last year, with strategic bombers being flown 20 KM from the Russian border. (Look it up.) Putin pointed out (quite correctly), that this represented a threat to Russia.
But because America as a country doesn't read, nobody knows this and a media with an agenda is able to portray a different story.
(Crucial to that story, of course, is that America must ALWAYS be perceived as the innocent underdog.)
You heard it here first: only Russia is allowed to perform yearly military exercises, otherwise it's a threat to the shithole that is Russia.
Warning NATO is not the same as meeting with NATO. Besides Putin should know that gaining membership requires unanimous agreement and that would not happen. I’m sick of that excuse. That’s all it is, an excuse. NATO is a defensive group, as long as Putin didn’t invade no problem.
And don’t be naive p, Russia frequently flies all kinds of planes extremely close to US airspace. So, unless you are claiming Putin has the courage of a hysterical 12 year old he should know that Ukraine borders are no different from Alaska and California borders. As a matter of fact there were also reports of them flying very very close to the east coast as well. You didn’t see us all pearl clutching and invading Russia.
