STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT. Putin: “I am now instructing our 4 combat regions that if USA and NATO dare to provoke us (around the Black Sea) and try to hit us with even ONE guided missile then you must hit them back as hard as possible. Hit them fiercely until they kneel down for mercy. If they retaliate, I command you to use nuclear weapons to hit their countries. No need to think about the consequences. I will be solely responsible. Your duty is just to hit them hard until they kneel down begging for mercy. Once the war has started I want you to subdue Europe in 5 days. No need to think just take over the 8 capitals of Europe. From now on our Air, Land and Navy armed forces are on full alert. I want the world to know who is the leader of the world. What is USA. I am telling them they will be trembling in front of us. They have been belittling and making fun of many countries but don’t they dare to try us. Go to hell. My view is that if the Russians have to live under USA’s mercy then what good is there left in this world!” (http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67828)
