Putin: ‘Russia Attacking NATO’ Is a Lie to Fool Western Taxpayers | APT

Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed claims that Moscow is preparing to attack NATO as “unprecedented lies,” accusing Western leaders of using the myth of a Russian threat to justify massive defense spending and cover up domestic economic failures. Speaking at an economic forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said NATO’s $1.4 trillion annual military budget far exceeds Russia’s and claimed that no one—neither politicians nor citizens—truly believes Russia poses a real danger to Europe. “It’s nonsense,” he said, laughing. Putin emphasized that Russia’s defense capabilities are self-sufficient and that the alliance’s rearmament poses no existential threat. #putin #russia #apt
