Putin To Would-Be Aggressors: ‘Will Knock Their Teeth Out’

OPINION: This article contains commentary which reflects the author's opinion

Joe Biden does not have the respect of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and as tensions with Russia increase that could be a dangerous thing.

During a recent news conference, the Russian president said that while foreign foes may dream about biting off pieces of the country’s vast territory, Moscow would “knock their teeth out” if they tried.

“In all times, the same thing happened: Once Russia grew stronger, they found pretexts to hamper its development,” he said.

“Everyone wants to bite us or bite something off us, but those who would like to do so should know that we would knock their teeth out so that they couldn’t bite,” the Russian leader said. “The development of our military is the guarantee of that.”

Putin also took a slew of veiled shots at the United States, which do not seem accidental now that Biden is in office.

Putin said Western sanctions against Russia are continuing a historic trend of attempting to contain a powerful rival.

He cited Russian Czar Alexander III, who stated, “Everyone is afraid of our vastness.”

“Even after we lost one-third of our potential” when former Soviet republics became independent after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, “Russia is still too big for some,” Putin said.

“No matter what we do, no matter how we try to satisfy the appetites of those who are trying to contain us, the containment will continue because many of our opponents just don’t want such a country as Russia,” he said. “But we, citizens of the Russian Federation, need it, and we will do everything to not just preserve but strengthen it.”

He claimed that Russia now has the most modern strategic nuclear forces compared to other nuclear powers, which is another veiled shot at the U.S.

Tensions have been boiling between Putin and Biden.

Last month, Putin snubbed Biden, who offered to meet with him as Russian troops gather near the Ukrainian border.

A readout of the call showed that Biden asked for a meeting in a neutral third nation and the White House said that Biden “emphasized the United States’ unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” But it did not include Putin’s response to the offer.

“President Biden reaffirmed his goal of building a stable and predictable relationship with Russia consistent with U.S. interests, and proposed a summit meeting in a third country in the coming months to discuss the full range of issues facing the United States and Russia,” the readout said.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that a meeting would be contingent on how the United States behaves.

“While it is too early to talk about the place and time, it still has to be coordinated through diplomatic channels, including further concrete actions,” he said.

“Of course, further elaboration of the proposal for a meeting in one of the European countries is possible only taking into account the analysis of the real situation and further steps of our counterparts,” he said.

This is far from the relationship that Donald Trump had with Putin and as tensions increase, the lack of a relationship is troublesome.
