Putin: US makes the same mistake that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union

The Russian president Vladimir PutiHe said the United States wrongly considered itself “strong enough” to escape threatening other countries, a mistake that he said had led to the collapse of the former Soviet Union.

Putin made the remarks during a press conference late last night, referring to US sanctions against Moscow, the Russian news agency TASS reported, and a few days before his meeting with US President Joe Biden, the whose government imposed a wide range of sanctions on Russia in April.

“We hear threats from Congress, from other sources. All of this is within the framework of the US domestic policy approach. Those who do so obviously assume that the US has such economic, military and political power that it can escape. “Something is not going well, they think,” Putin said, noting that his behavior was reminiscent of the Soviet Union.

“The problem with empires is that they think they are strong enough to make some mistakes. We will buy these people, we will intimidate them, we will make a deal with them, we will give them necklaces, we will threaten them with warships. And that will solve all the problems. But problems are piling up. There comes a time when they can no longer be solved. “

Biden and Putin will meet in Geneva on June 16, as announced by the White House and the Kremlin, to discuss “the full range of pressing issues,” according to Washington.
