MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin said the United States was wrong to think that it is"powerful enough" to get away with threatening other countries, a mistake, he said, that led to the downfall of the former Soviet Union.
Putin made the comments during a press briefing late on Friday as he spoke about US sanctions against Moscow, according to Russia's news agency TASS.He was speaking just days before a meeting with US President Joe Biden whose cabinet in April imposed a broad array of sanctions on Russia, including curbs to its sovereign debt market.
"We hear threats from the Congress, from other sources. It is all done within the context of the United States' domestic political process," Putin was quoted as saying. "The people who do this, they probably assume that the United States has such economic, military and political might that it can get away with that. It is no big deal, that is what they think."

US wants WAR US needs to always create chaos by poking nations if not Russia then Middle East if not that then China. It’s a tactic of a bully.
