Putin to arm West’s enemies with long-range missiles
In response to the West’s long-range Ukraine strikes into Russia, Putin says he would arm West’s enemies from around the world with long-range missiles.
Imagine the Houthis has long range Russian missiles that could strike any ship or carrier in the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Arabian Sea and even those in the Indian Ocean.
Round 2: Russia may arm other enemies of the West; militias from Syria, Iraq, Libya, and cartels in Mexico, all with long-range supersonic or even hypersonic missiles.

Moscow is considering arming adversaries of West in “sensitive” areas. This threatened tit-for-tat comes as Russia is expected to deploy warships and aircraft in the Caribbean.
Russia is considering “asymmetric” measures against Kiev’s sponsors due to Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied weapons against its territory, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
The Russian leader’s remarks came at a meeting with heads of international news agencies on Wednesday, on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
“We have no illusions in this regard,” Putin added, repeating his prior comments that Ukrainian troops might be pulling the trigger but the US and its allies are providing the intelligence and targeting information.
Russia will respond by boosting air defenses and destroying these missiles, Putin said.
“Secondly, if someone deems it possible to supply such weapons to the war zone, to strike our territory… why shouldn’t we supply similar weapons to those regions of the world, where they will be used against sensitive sites of these countries?” the Russian president added. “We can respond asymmetrically. We will give it a thought.”
If the West continues to escalate, such actions “will completely destroy international relations and undermine international security,” Putin noted.
“If we see that these countries are being drawn into a war against us, and this is their direct participation in the war against Russia, then we reserve the right to act in a similar way. This is a recipe for very serious problems,” he warned.
The Russian president also brought up the fact that some military instructors and advisers from NATO countries have already been deployed to Ukraine, and that a number of them were killed in Russian strikes.
The US and its allies have insisted that providing weapons and equipment to Ukraine does not make them party to the conflict with Russia, and maintained certain restrictions on their use to preserve that perception.
Last month, however, as Russian troops began advancing towards Kharkov, Ukraine began to demand the relaxation of those rules. A British-led pressure campaign eventually resulted in Washington complying with Kiev’s wishes.
