Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that the U.S. and its allies have ignored his nation’s top security demands but insisted that Moscow is still open for more talks with the West on easing soaring tensions over Ukraine.
Putin noted that the U.S. and its allies have ignored the Kremlin’s demands for guarantees that NATO won’t expand to Ukraine, won’t deploy weapons near the Russian border, and will roll back its forces from Eastern Europe.
Putin said he hoped dialogue would continue in order to avoid “negative scenarios” including war.
At a news conference, Putin raised the possibility of war between Russia and NATO if Ukraine joined the alliance and then attempted to take back Crimea from Russia by force.
“Let’s imagine Ukraine is a NATO member and starts these military operations. Are we supposed to go to war with the NATO bloc? Has anyone given that any thought? Apparently not,” he said.
Putin said ways needed to be found to protect everyone’s security.

Is taking back something that is rightfully yours, breaking the law?
Under Russian law it is……………………
He made the corresponding statement on Tuesday, February 1, during a joint press conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
In particular, Putin noted that Russia was allegedly promised not to push NATO eastward “not an inch”, but they did otherwise.
“Today we see where NATO is located: Poland, Romania, the Baltic countries. They said one thing and did another.
In addition, the Russian leader criticized NATO for its “open door” policy. According to him, this principle is not written down anywhere.
According to him, this principle is not written down anywhere.
Russians have always another copy of any agreement or contract…………………….
Apparently the Moskali either cannot read or cannot concentrate for more than a few seconds. Or perhaps they read upside down, sideways or backwards. Regardless, for civilized societies that can read, here is the text. Someone please forward it to Mordor so they can stop lying…
Article 10
The Parties may, by unanimous agreement, invite any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area to accede to this Treaty.
Nato has the door open, Putin has the ass open.
“…but insisted that Moscow is still open for more talks with the West…”
Talks?
Most certainly.
Talk, talk and talk some more. Winning time is the only good thing about talks.
The more you talk the more time Ukraine has to get prepared and the more arms will arrive to the country.
Suddenly Putler wants more talks, a few weeks ago he was threatening military action immediately if his demands were not met. I think the West have shown him up for what he is, a fucking blowhard with a inferiority complex. Oh! and the threat of sanctioning his money launderers in the West might also might have something to do with it.
He knows he lost Ukraine and this time Ukraine didn’t back down from a fight. His last gasp was to try to get Joe Kompromat to sign something saying the US will never vote Ukraine into NATO. He has come up empty and Ukraine is loaded up in case his toilet thieves move further into Ukraine.
He’s come up empty, no gas extortion no military extortion no sanction extortion and his oligarchs are ready to put him in cement shoes.
