Readers of the British Daily Mail commented on the words of the Russian president Vladimir Putin on the Defender destroyer incident. Recall that Putin was asked a straight line question.
Recall that Putin then remarked that the world conflict would not occur even if the Russian army flooded a destroyer that illegally attacked the territorial waters of Russia. “ Asked if events with HMS Defender could provoke World War III, Putin replied that the West would not risk a full-scale conflict, “ & mdash; & nbsp; this is how the tabloid interprets Putin's words.
Putin also stressed that the American fighter, which took off from Greece, cooperated with the British destroyer. The United States was also involved in the provocation. Russia understands what it will fight for if it is attacked, but the West & ndash; no, Putin remarked.
Many ordinary Britons, judging by the comments, were flooded with a patriotic wave & ndash; they believe that their fleet still has the power to show Russia's teeth. “Putin must stop thinking he's great and he's not like that,” “and the Royal Navy can sink your ships, too.” I don't think any Western country is more afraid of Russia, “” Don't be stupid, Emperor Putin, sink a British ship and nothing will enter or leave Russia for the foreseeable future, “” some readers threaten.
However, there are British who claim that if you follow morality & ndash; then Crimea should really belong to the Russian Federation, and the whole truth about the conflict with Ukraine is on Russia's side. “ I think he will fulfill his threat if someone stands in his way. So don't make the bear angry. “Well, he's not wrong. Britain must stop being an American poodle. If the American regime wants a war, then leave it alone. “” And he's right. We would do nothing but “sanctions” if the Defender were sunk. “Too bad we don't have a leader like Putin,” “Why are we provoking Russia? I do not see a clear example of how they harm British interests. All this provocation will only increase admiration for Putin at home, readers write & mdash; & nbsp;
