That's the only direct quote I found but I found an article that desribes what he was supposedly saying. "Putin railed against the journalists for their "tall tales" in blindly repeating lies and misinformation provided to them by the United States on its anti-ballistic missile systems being constructed in Eastern Europe. He pointed out that since the Iran nuclear deal, the claim the system is to protect against Iranian missiles has been exposed as a lie. The journalists were informed that within a few years, Russia predicted the US would be able to extend the range of the system to 1000 km. At that point, Russia's nuclear potential, and thus the nuclear balance between the US and Russia, would be placed in jeopardy. Putin completely lost patience with the journalists, berating them for lazily helping to accelerate a nuclear confrontation by repeating US propaganda. He virtually pleaded with the western media, for the sake of the world, to change their line:"

I don't understand why they make such a big deal out of nuclear weapons, Russia that is. I'm sure it's just manipulation for their own interests and that they are fully confident that this nuke shield is in reality no threat to Russia and the idea of USA going to war with Russia is unrealistic.
But I very much like that he is confronting USA though, and thanks to it we get a better world. It helps to get the opposing opinion up on the agenda. Even though Putin's true agenda is largely evil, he and Russia work as a catalyst for well needed opposition in the West and elsewhere, and it works as real and concrete obstruction against the arrogant plans to bypass the independence of nations and create a multicultural One world government that treats Western people as slaves and money-making machines without any rights to tradition, genuine culture, identity, dignity and honor.
