Russia Calls US "Enemy" & is Sending Ships to the Caribbean for Drills | Vantage with Palki Sharma

now let's take a look at the US it has a new problem on its hands Russia has now officially called the United States an enemy Nation this came from the Kremlin spokesperson Dimitri Pesco let me read out the translation of what he said and we are an enemy country for them much like they are for us again that was the Kremlin spoke person and this is the first time he said enemy because it's not something to be said lightly now you know that Washington and Moscow have never seen eye to eye they've been on opposite sides in a number of conflicts most recently in Ukraine but through two years of the Ukraine war Moscow went out of its way to avoid calling the US an enemy State just look at pesov again barely 3 months ago he said that the US was not the enemy that Russia did not have any anti-American sentiments but that has changed now why perhaps because of last week's escalation last week the United States gave Ukraine a green light to strike Russian territory using American weapons Ukraine has already begun doing so they're using American weapons to strike inside Russia and Russia is furious Putin says Ukraine is striking Russian territory with the help of Western Specialists the missile strikes against Russia are done by the Western Specialists we have no Illusions about that what must we do in response first of all we will improve our air defense systems to destroy the missiles secondly we think that if someone thinks it is possible to supply such weapons to a combat zone to strike at our territory and create problems for us why do we not have the right to supply our weapons of the same class to those regions of the world where there will be strikes on the sensitive facilities of those countries that are doing this against Russia you heard what he said basically Putin has threatened to turn the tables to send Russian weapons to Western enemies long range weapons that could strike sensitive facilities in the west and this means that Western enemies could get the ability to strike them at will it would be a security nightmare for the Western Nations that are helping Ukraine in the end if we see that these countries become involved in a war against us what they are doing makes them directly involved in a war against the Russian Federation we reserve the right to act the same way overall it leads to some serious problems that was Putin's threat but he isn't just content with that he's also going for a show of force Russia is sending combat vessels to the Caribbean Sea to America's door strip Russia will participate in Naval exercises in the Caribbean along with Cuba and possibly Venezuela Russian aircraft may also be deployed in the region and won't stop there here is what US officials have said and I'm quoting we anticipate that this summer Russia will conduct heightened Naval and air activity near the United States these actions will culminate in a global Russian naval exercise this form now Russia regularly conducts drills in America's backyard but this time they're expected to be quote unquote heightened and the drills will continue for weeks if not months this is clearly muscle flexing Russia wants to show that even while it is busy with Ukraine it has fire power to spare and that it can hurt any enemy anywhere in the world all of this posturing is reminiscent of a different era of the Cold War when Russia and the US were constantly on the brink of War and the rest of were hoping to not be caught in the nuclear fallout the world does not need to go back to the Cold War era Russia and the West need to deescalate and let the cooler heads prevail first post reports from the world's second largest continent hello I'm Alison MCR a very warm welcome from Durban South Africa we get you the news and the news makers from Africa from elections to climate change to Innovations and opportunities as the world's attention shifts we report from Africa the heart of the global South join me every weekday live on first post [Music]
