WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) – “Nobody listened to us. Well listen to us now.”
These are the words spoken by Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday in his annual State of the Union address, boasting about his country’s improved nuclear capabilities. Some in Washington say they’re not too concerned.
“They have a declining economy, a declining population and they are desperate for any kind of attention and also Vladimir Putin’s try to rally his base,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R – Ill., in an interview with CNN’s New Day.
But others believe Putin’s words are triggering new fears, and will cause NATO to view Russia as a direct threat to Europe, and should also be a warning to the United States to step up our own missile defense program.
