Russia gives warning to the United States: "we have the might to put you in your place

Russia gives warning to the United States: “we have the might to put you in your place.” 

On Thursday, Russia warned the United States that it has the power to put the world’s most powerful superpower in its place, accusing the West of fomenting a crazy Russophobic scheme to break Russia apart.

Dmitry Medvedev, president from 2008 to 2012 and is now the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said the US had instigated “disgusting” Russophobia to bring Russia to its knees.

“It won’t work,” Medvedev stated. “Russia has the power to put all of our arrogant opponents in their place.”

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, the US and its European and Asian allies have imposed sanctions on Russian officials, firms, and businesspeople, effectively cutting Russia off from the global economy.

President Vladimir Putin claims that the “special military operation” in Ukraine was required because the US was using Ukraine to threaten Russia. 

Russia needed to defend itself against Ukraine’s “genocide” of Russian-speaking people.

Ukraine believes it is battling for its survival and dismisses Putin’s charges of genocide. According to the West, claims that the West wants to pull Russia apart are false.

Despite sanctions, Russia claims that it can thrive without what it sees as a deceptive and decadent West led by the United States. 

It claims its attempt to create links with the West following the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 has failed. And that it will instead focus on developing ties with other nations such as China.
