Touching on the canvassing campaign in the United States and another round of anti-Russian rhetoric, the Russian President noted that it is regrettable because it tells on the entire system of international relations and has adverse impacts on the Russian-US relations
MOSCOW, July 12. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday he thinks Russia should pursue an-iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove policy on the global.
In an interview with the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin program on the Rossiya-1 television channel, the president spoke about his vision of Moscow’s style of behaving with foreign partners. “I don’t think we should behave like lunatics when defending our interests, like someone who is running around with a razor in the hands and throwing curses,” he said. “We have a saying – an iron fist in a velvet glove. This is about our style, I think.”
Touching on the canvassing campaign in the United States and another round of anti-Russian rhetoric, the Russian president noted, “What is going on there, in the world’s biggest economy, in the biggest nuclear and military power, is regrettable because it tells on the entire system of international relations and has adverse impacts on the Russian-US relations.”.

“We have a saying – an iron fist in a velvet glove. This is about our style, I think.”
Wait until you meet the iron fist in the iron glove.
Canada? 😂
The EU have a velvet fist in a velvet glove. LMAO
Trump has no fist at all. Just a filthy toupé imported from Norway. 😂
His hands are not big enough to make a fist. LMAO
When he got elected i truly thought of Apache copters, at least one battleship and some US bases in Ukraine. 3,5 years later i have to admit that me and the girls were drinking too much. 😂 Actually not funny. I think Petro and Yulia paid the price for the US not providing the assistance that would have been necessary to restore the military balance. People thought if nobody will help us we need to appease the enemy or we are done. Sadly they will be done because of the appeasement… 😕
I like our saying better; speak softly but carry a big stick. I would take a big stick over an iron fist anytime. Especially when that iron fist was made 40 years ago…
