Russia to America: We have the power to put you in your place

On Thursday, Russia threatened the United States that it has the power to put the world’s most powerful superpower in its place.

The Putin-led government further accused the West of fomenting a rabidly anti-Russian plan to split the country apart.

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

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

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

Ukraine has stated that it is battling for its survival and that Putin’s allegations of genocide are false. Claims that the West wants to pull Russia apart are false, according to the West.

Despite sanctions, Russia claims that it can thrive in the absence of what it sees as a deceptive and decadent West led by the United States.
