Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned Monday that World War III "will undoubtedly begin" if President Trump persists in his "insane course" of regime change. Following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Medvedev predicted Iran will pursue nuclear weapons "with triple the energy" and dismissed European reactions as "toadyism.
Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev issued a stark warning Monday that continued US efforts to topple foreign governments will inevitably trigger global conflict. Speaking to state news agency Tass, Medvedev declared that if President Donald Trump "continues his insane course of criminally changing political regimes, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could be the trigger."
Iran's Nuclear Path and Regional Impact Medvedev characterized Trump's decision to attack Iran as a "grave mistake" that has endangered all Americans while unifying the Shiite world. "The late Ayatollah was the spiritual father of nearly 300 million Shiites. And now he is also a martyr," he said, asserting that "there is no doubt that Iran will pursue the creation of nuclear weapons with redoubled energy." He dismissed the notion that neighboring Arab states' dislike of the Iranian regime would mitigate consequences, and predicted Iran would withstand the confrontation, albeit at a "high price" that would require societal consolidation—a development he said "the Americans have provided."
European Vassals and Olympic Hypocrisy Medvedev excoriated European reactions to US-Israeli actions as "toadyism and vileness," claiming "European vassals, with lust and delight, wipe their faces after receiving a dose of American-Israeli 'yellow dew' directly in their eyes." When asked whether the International Olympic Committee might sanction US and Israeli athletes as it did Russians, Medvedev suggested the IOC and Olympic movement should be dissolved and rebuilt, invoking the precepts of founder Pierre de Coubertin.
Ukraine Talks and Nuclear Deterrence Addressing Russia-Ukraine negotiations, Medvedev acknowledged the danger that Moscow is being "coaxed" into talks to allow Ukraine time to reinforce. On Western intentions toward Russia, he offered a stark assessment: "There are and can be no magic remedies against the actions of arrant idiots and clinical bastards." He concluded with a nuclear warning: "The US is afraid of Russia and knows the price of a nuclear conflict. If one were to occur, Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be child's play in a sandbox."

Speaking in an interview with the Russian state news agency Tass, Dmitry Medvedev described Washington’s actions as “a war by the US and its allies to preserve global dominance.”
“If Trump continues his insane course of criminally changing political regimes, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could be the trigger. Any event,” he warned.
Who will poke their head out right now to do so?
And Meddie, insofar as that goal is concerned, nothing has changed. WTH do you think they were doing before?
This guy is an idiot. WTF has Iran been doing for decades.
Dipđź’©, Iran has been “seeking nukes” for the last 30 years. You’ve transposed cause and effect here. We attacked because they wouldn’t stop seeking nukes.
CC
NOW seeks nukes ? ? ? ? Brazen fatuity on exhibit.
Medvedev: Trump’s Iran policy risks World War III, Iran will now seek nukes
What???
This post should’ve been the Bee. At the end a scratch your head emoji with a WTF?
Medvedev ain’t shiite.
Shut up and go back to your Vodka bottle.
From Wokepedia:
“”Medvedev is a Russian politician and lawyer who served as the President of Russia from 2008 to 2012 and Prime Minister of Russia from 2012 to 2020. As of 2020, he has served as the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia.””
The above paragraph, while technically true, is a frackin’ joke. Once Putin gained power, he was NEVER going to relinquish it. Putin and Medvedev traded positions, took turns, as “President” and “Prime Minister.” Vlad was always in charge. Eventually, Vlad just said ef it, and no longer pretends.
Russia, and especially China, are waking up to a strong President of the United States. One who can read the geopolitical stitches on the international fastballs. Venezuela and Iran supplied China with a lot of oil. Venezuela welcomed Russia, China, Hezbollah, ET AL. The Russian and Chicom military Air Defense Systems did not help Venezuela or Iran.
As Euro Weenies cower, the United States and Israel stand at the forefront to preserve civilization against the barbarian hoards. They tried to kill President Trump. They will probably try again.
In the meantime, the next time President Trump says to friend or foe, let’s make a deal, you might consider the alternative.
Just imagine a future Iran joining the Abraham Accords. Yesterday, no one would believe it. Tomorrow.......
If we take away the regime’s nuclear weapons, the regime will pursue nuclear weapons. That is AOC-level logic.
I know. They have been trying to get nuclear weapons for years.
i’m surprised that Russia, China, or North Korea didn’t give them any.
“i’m surprised that Russia, China, or North Korea didn’t give them any.”
Yet
True.
Another thought occurred to me is that they know Iran is very crazy and it is better not to give them any. They can controll Rocket Man in North Korea. At least he has some sanity.
I don’t think Israel is “standing at the forefront to preserve civilization against the barbarian hoards.”
Israel is just looking to survive and thrive. Which is a perfectly fine goal for them and what they need to do, but let’s not kid ourselves that they are going to look for “preserving civilization”.
the USA under Trump on the other hand definitely IS for preserving civilization
They have always been seeking nukes. Cmon man.
>> ... let’s not kid ourselves that [Israel is] going to look for “preserving civilization”.... the USA under Trump on the other hand definitely IS for preserving civilization...
Uh, let’s not kid ourselves that “preserving civilization” is the job of our Almighty God, for as long as He shall choose to do so. Although He does raise up righteous leaders in countries like USA and Israel as His agents in the process.
Like they didn’t before?
