The US previously told the European nations that they were defending them from the Soviet Union and that they had to pay for it, Putin said from the stage of the "Russia Calling" investment forum in Moscow. But the USSR collapsed almost three decades ago and the US approach "doesn't work" today.
Despite all the problems "with Ukraine, the speculations about Crimea and Donbass, everybody clearly understands that Russia is not going to attack anybody," President explained.
This is nonsense, utter rubbish! The 'Russian threat' is an invention of those, who only wants to cash in by exploiting their role as the vanguard of the fight against Russia... It's obvious to everybody; and it's absolutely clear to the leaders of the major European nations.
Comment: The problem is that the US isn't ready to stop making an enemy out of Russia. In fact, we can probably expect even more belligerent, threatening and outright aggressive behavior coming from Washington in the years to come. And then God help them because Russia will not be taking it lying down.
