No, I do not believe we can bully the country with the items you note.

I was simply pointing out that Trump already claimed to have threatened Putin with "hitting Moscow" and maybe he would follow through with it now.

Original story:

Trump claims he threatened Putin with strike on Moscow

Pivoting to Russia, Trump said the same is true of Putin, who he claimed to have an excellent relationship with. He added that at one point, he told him: “Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you’re not even going to believe it. I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow… We’re friends. I don’t want to do it, but I have no choice.”

According to the former president, Putin reacted with disbelief, saying “no way.” “Way,” Trump responded. “You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those f**king domes right off your head,” he reportedly said, apparently referring to the Russian leader’s Kremlin residence.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov's response:

Lavrov said that Trump’s threats to strike Moscow were made as part of PR

“I don’t want to comment, because this statement was made obviously in the context of the election campaign and I don’t want to comment on it,” he told journalist Pavel Zarubin. Earlier, Trump, at a meeting with the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal, said that he allegedly threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin to strike Moscow if Russia “persecutes Ukraine.”

Putin noted that he does not remember a threatening conversation with the former US leader. He also said that there is no point in threatening Russia - it only invigorates.
