Excerpt from the first article (ref.: V. Putin:)

"...He said that the U.S. has ignored Russian complaints.

"No one has listened to us," he said. "You listen to us now."

He said the new weapons will help ensure global stability and draw a line under attempts to weaken Russia....."

Quick comment and initial analysis, including from other (unaffiliated) sources:

1. Vladimir Putin often acts like a thug; a nuclear-armed thug.

2. ...'Suggest' he also pay close attention to "what's going on" internally, i.e., inside the vast country that he rules..
