Actually, Putin hasn't said anything and no one knows if the lower Russian officials who have been talking have cleared their comments with Putin. The S-400 is an excellent system that can shoot down many missiles, making an attack more costly, but it cannot shoot down all of them and cannot stop the attack.It's a challenge to Russia and it's an opportunity for the US and Russia to come to terms to end the fighting in Syria. After Obama, Putin has no respect for the US, but after Assad, he will, and then diplomacy is possible.Bring him to the Hague. Don't destroy the country.
Who is advocating for destroying the country?
If you remove Assad thats exactly whats going to happen.
This is saber rattling by the super powers.
If you read into whats been going on you get tonnes of mixed signals.
You have Putin claiming it can shoot down US missiles yet with Trumps warning of missiles that are coming their way Putin is pulling troops from Syria.
If he's able as he claims to be able to shoot down US missiles why remove his troops?
Do you actually believe news can come out of russia without the approval of Putin?
