Putin says war with Russia is ‘nonsense’, if US goes to war then it would be ‘completely different’

Live Mint  

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday said if the United States went to war against Russia then it would be very different to the war in Ukraine. Thoughts of war between Russia and the US were unhealthy but if people were making such thoughts public they will cause concern to Moscow, Putin told Kremlin reporter Pavel Zarubin, as per a Reuters report. “I don't think these are healthy thoughts in the minds of healthy people, because to say that the United States is preparing for war with Russia, well we are all preparing for war because we follow the ancient principle: if you want peace, get ready for war,” Putin said in a video clip posted on Telegram. I think they are just scaring each other.” “And if they want to fight with Russia then it will be a completely different war - it will not be carrying out a special military operation,” Putin said. “Look at the Middle East - is that a special military operation - can you compare them?” “If we talk about a war between great nuclear powers, then it would be a completely different story.
