Putin fires back at Trump’s “paper tiger” jab, questions NATO’s power

Russian leader Vladimir Putin responded to U.S. President Donald Trump, who earlier called him a “paper tiger”

He mentioned this during a speech published by the propaganda outlet RT.

“Paper tiger? Well, then deal with it. In reality, everything turns out differently,” the Kremlin leader said.

Putin also claimed that the Russian army allegedly “retains strategic initiative” across the front in Ukraine.

“Is this a paper tiger? Then what is NATO? What does it represent?” he added.

  • On September 30, U.S. President Donald Trump said he had told Russia’s dictator Vladimir Putin that he “doesn’t look good” and called Russia’s Security Council head Dmitry Medvedev “stupid.”

  1. “Is this a paper tiger? Then what is NATO? What does it represent?” he added.

    Unfortunately i have to agree with him. NATO is the paper tiger so far. Squeezing their asses together instead of finally helping Ukraine to win this war.

  2. Putin also claimed that the Russian army allegedly “retains strategic initiative” across the front in Ukraine.

    Since when is getting your ass kicked, retaining strategic initiative? He never mentions anything about oil refineries for some reason.
