Another Putin misquote to make it look like he is aggressively pursuing war with the west. On the it is better not to mess around with Russia statement. This is what Putin actually said: “I want to say immediately that Russia is far from getting involved into any large-scale conflicts. We do not want and do not intend to do this. At the same time, Russia will continue building up its nuclear potential not for the purpose of intimidation but for ensuring its security. I want to remind you that Russia is one of the most powerful nuclear nations. This is a reality, not just words. We are strengthening our nuclear deterrence forces and our armed forces. They are getting more compact and more efficient at the same time. They are getting more modernized in terms of their supply with the latest armaments. We continue building up this potential and we’ll be doing this in the future. Russia is taking these efforts not to threaten anyone but to feel secure and calm and have the possibilities to implement those plans, which we have for the development of the economy and the social sphere. We must always be ready to repel any aggression against Russia and our partners should always be aware that no matter in which condition their governments may be or which foreign policy concepts they may pursue, it is better not to come against Russia as regards a possible armed conflict. At present, it has not come into anyone’s mind to unleash any large-scale conflict with Russia. en.itar-tass/russia/747252
