Putin: NATO's Approval of Use of Long-Range Missiles by Ukraine Will Mean It is at War With Russia

‘Extremely Clear’: Kremlin Comments on Putin's Warning About West’s Arms Striking Deep Into Russia

Putin Warns NATO Long-Range Missile Strikes Will Put Them at War with Russia

Russia warns NATO of ‘direct war’ over Ukraine

Enemies must realize Russia could go nuclear – ex-Kremlin adviser

Do note that I did not have to look for "western anti russian propaganda media" like.... mainstream news. These are Russian state sponsored news websites.

Yes, all of those say that use of long range missiles within Russia would be the red line. And the reason it would be a red line is because this would be NATO personnel doing strikes directly into Russia.

Idk where you're going with this, I just felt like looking for direct quotes, because you asked for any quote from Russian officials saying that X would mean war with NATO.

While stating :

I’ll save you the trouble though, cause it doesn’t exist.

I was very clearly replying to this statement claiming that Russia has supposedly outlines lots of previous red lines that have been broken.

Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.

Are you just intentionally ignoring the context here?

No I believe you're being intellectually disingenuous, because you're now paraphrasing the comment you responded to, to try and twist the argument in your favour, the previous interaction was :

Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.

To which you directly replied

Please do provide a previous official quote from Russia stating that. I’ll save you the trouble though, cause it doesn’t exist.

I'm not sure I quite like where this is going and I'm not in the mood for arguing over such a minimal thing, so I'd like to end the interaction here, see ya around !

I'm not twisting anything here. I've been very clear regarding the specific point I was making. The context of this whole thread is that the use of long range weapons do do deep strikes is the one clear red line that Russia articulated. The fact that you're trying to twist this into something else shows that you're the one being intellectually dishonest here. Bye.
