"Now let the US and its allies feel the direct impact of the use of Russian weapons by third parties," Dmitry Medvedev said

MOSCOW, June 6. /TASS/. Russia can supply weapons to any US enemy, the same way Washington does with Ukraine, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Wednesday that Moscow was mulling ways to respond to weapons supplies to Kiev for attacks on Russia. According to Putin, supplying similar weapons to regions from where "painful strikes" could be carried out on Western facilities is one possible option.

"This marks quite a significant change in our foreign policy," Medvedev noted, commenting on the president’s position. "This is what the Yankees and their drooling European dogs think: we have the right to send any weapons to Ukraine - the enemy of our country (Russia - TASS) - but no country can help Russia."

You mean Russia hasn't been arming America's enemies already? And how is Putin going to compete with Joe arming America's enemies?

No, it can't. Russia can't produce enough arms to take Ukraine as it is. An empty threat.
