Putin warns that Russia could provide long-range weapons to others to strike Western targets

President Vladimir Putin warned Wednesday that Russia could provide long-range weapons to others to strike Western targets in response to NATO allies allowing Ukraine to use their arms to attack Russian territory.
Putin also reaffirmed Moscow’s readiness to use nuclear weapons if it sees a threat to its sovereignty.
The recent actions by the West will further undermine international security and could lead to “very serious problems,” he said, taking questions from international journalists — something that has become extremely rare since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine.
“That would mark their direct involvement in the war against the Russian Federation, and we reserve the right to act the same way,” Putin added.

What a cry baby bitch, Russia has already been sourcing weapons from North Korea and Iran, Ukraine is just gettin better stuff from the collective west. If he would allow other aligned nations to strike western targets from their territories with Russian weapons I fail to see how basically all of NATO would not see that as fair game to strike from their own territories. Seems like a massive escalation Russia and anyone who went along with it would not want.
He just says pretty much anything but it's all designed for the Home market he doesn't really expect international audiences to believe any of it. Honestly we could probably not report on any of this stuff and it wouldn't matter.
Yeah, you nailed it. He is just setting the tone for his propaganda networks to amplify.
The biggest part is making sure people believe that NATO is trying to start a war with Russia. Since NATO was originally formed to protect against Russian aggression, it's easy to paint NATO countries as aggressors.
The Russian message is consistent: They are the victims and all additional messaging revolves around that.
