Putin: Speak politely, but carry guns, too

By Karoun Demirjian, Washington Post, November 18, 2014

MOSCOW--You could call it a Teddy Roosevelt moment: Russian President Vladimir Putin offered an extemporaneous adage Tuesday that sounded a whole lot like a twist on “big stick” diplomacy.

“You can do a lot more with weapons and politeness than just politeness,” Putin said, according to several Russian news outlets.

(Or maybe he’s just seen “The Untouchables” a few times too often, specifically the scene where Robert DeNiro’s Al Capone says, “You can get farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word.”)

The Russian president’s remark was inspired while viewing a Moscow exhibition of armored personnel carriers and trucks billed as “polite armored vehicles.”

But as world leaders worry that relations with Russia are settling back into Cold War-like status, Putin’s words have potential resonance beyond the vehicles exhibition hall.

In recent weeks, Putin has sharpened his rhetoric against the West, particularly the United States. In a speech to the international experts and analysts of the Valdai Club late last month, Putin accused the United States of trying to impose a self-styled Cold War victors’ justice on the rest of the world--including Russia. On Tuesday, Putin accused the United States of trying “to subdue” Russia, and use Russia to “solve their problems at our expense.”

The recent shifts in Russia’s relationship with the West aren’t limited to words. The two sides are currently locked in a sanctions-fueled face-off over Russia’s annexation in March of Crimea and Russia’s subsequent military involvement in eastern Ukraine. The United States has also accused Russia of violating its nuclear arms control treaty obligations in recent months.

Putin has repeatedly fired back, denying that Russia is involved in the Ukraine conflict and suggesting that if anyone is “destroying the current system of arms control agreements,” it’s the United States.

Russia, Putin has maintained, remains pragmatic and respectful of peace and dialogue when trying to achieve its interests.

But, as he noted Tuesday, guns can be useful, too.

'Russian arms sales to Syria OK under intl law' - Putin's spokesperson

What will Russia do in case chemical strike is confirmed to have been carried out by the Syrian government? Or, in another scenario, what will happen if the US follows on with their strike intentions even without solid proof of Assad’s guilt, or without much international support or approval of such a strike? What will Russia’s response be? We talk to Dmitry Peskov, press secretary for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
