The US scares its population with statements that Russia allegedly plans to attack someone, Putin added.
"After all, the tactics are very simple: they push us to the red line, beyond which we can no longer retreat. When we start to respond, they immediately frighten their population with the Soviet threat back in the day, and now with the Russian threat," Putin said.
