We haven't heard anything directly from the Kremlin, so I'm inclined to think he did.Well, it was the Russian ambassador to Lebanon who was being interviewed on a Hezbollah TV station that made the original claim Russia would shoot down US missiles and bomb US launch sites, so, Yeah, I think that was probably off the cuff.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.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?
He didnt say that without approval from the Kremlin.
With Putins rep of killing people who fuck him over?
No way this dude would shoot off at the mouth.
