‘The US president-elect reportedly urged Putin not to “escalate” the conflict, reminding him of the significant US military presence in Europe, one of the sources told the daily.’

Putin will not take too kindly to threats. A hint. Most countries in Europe and NATO are out of missiles etc. they are broke. If the US attempted to attack Russia, you have China and Iran that will come to their aid. For heavens sake President Trump, speak to Colonel Douglas MacGregor about what Generals are trustworthy and what ones are traitors and should be removed and charged with treason. There are many, many Pompeo’s and Bolton’s, residing in the Pentagon- war mongers. One word. SARMAT.
