Russia warned the United States on Thursday March 17, 2022 that Moscow had the might to put the world’s pre-eminent superpower in its place.
Russia which has claimed to be conducting a “special military operation” in Ukraine, accused the West of stoking a wild Russophobic plot to tear Russia apart.
Dmitry Medvedev, who served as president from 2008 to 2012 and is now deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said the United States had stoked “disgusting” Russophobia in an attempt to force Russia to its knees.

“It will not work, Russia has the might to put all of our brash enemies in their place,” Medvedev said.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, the United States and its European and Asian allies announced sanctions on Russian leaders, companies and businessmen, cutting off Russia from much of the world economy.
According to President Vladimir Putin, the special military operation in Ukraine was necessary because the United States was using Ukraine to threaten Russia.
Putin warned the US and her allies that Russia had to defend against the “genocide” of Russian-speaking people by Ukraine.
Ukraine says it is fighting for its existence and that Putin’s claims of genocide are nonsense.
On the other hand the West says claims it wants to rip Russia apart are fiction.
Russia says that despite sanctions it can fare well without what it casts as a deceitful and decadent West led by the United States.
It says its bid to forge ties with the West after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union is now over and that it will develop ties with other powers such as China.
