| 'It seems now it's our turn to get our lands back': Smirking Putin threatens Sweden and compares himself to tyrant Peter The Great while issuing chilling threat to Scandinavia |
| 2022-06-11 |
 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] “Après moi, le déluge.” And perhaps it won’t wait that long. - Vladimir Putin compared himself to Peter the Great in speech to mark 350 years since the birth of the man who founded the Russian Empire
- He said Peter's wars against the Swedish Empire were not conflicts of conquest, but were in fact 'taking back' territory that was historically Russian
- Referencing the Battle of Narva in what is modern-day Estonia, he said it has fallen to him to also 'take back and strengthen' historic Russian lands
- Speech will be viewed as a chilling threat to Baltic States, Sweden and Finland
