Relations have plunged to Cold War levels, but tensions could heat up as it is warned Putin is primed and ready to go to war against the US.
Russian military man Lt Gen Yevgeny Buzhinsky laid the blame at the door of the West for provoking the anger of the Motherland.
The retired general said: “Of course there is a reaction. As far as Russia sees it, as Putin sees it, it is full-scale confrontation on all fronts. If you want a confrontation, you”ll get one.”
“But it won”t be a confrontation that doesn”t harm the interests of the United States. You want a confrontation, you”ll get one everywhere.”
Moscow media is also openly talking about the possibility of a clash as officials threaten to shoot down US planes using the Kremlin’s newly deployed missile defence system in Syria.
Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs, said: “Most likely no-one wants to launch a big collision between Russia and the United States. But this is exactly the case when unintended consequences might emerge.”
Cold War deployments are being setup by the Russia military as nuclear bombers sweep the US border and plans are set in motion for new bases in Cuba.
Experts have warned Russia could invade “overnight” as the Kremlin has the power and might to launch an invasion “within hours”.
