Medvedev: NATO Aspirants Could Be Targets in War
The former president floated the idea of using nuclear weapons to deter prospective candidates to the alliance, a message suspected to be a comment on Ukraine’s future.
The former president floated the idea of using nuclear weapons to deter prospective candidates to the alliance, a message suspected to be a comment on Ukraine’s future.

“For the U.S. and its henchmen, the territory of the former Union is a ‘country of unlearned lessons,” the former Russian president wrote on the anniversary of the Georgian war, while casually threatening to renew the conflict.

Almost one-and-a-half years since the start of the war, experts suggest that fighting may continue for years on end, resembling World War I.

Dmitry Medvedev responded that British officials are now a “legitimate military target” for Russian attacks.

While the U.S. insists the strike was a false flag and Ukraine celebrates with a postal stamp, Russia continues to accuse the West, saying it will lead to escalation.

Former Russian President Medvedev opined that these ‘peacekeepers’ would be viewed as “soldiers of the enemy,” and that they “will die in the course of combat.”

Dmitry Medvedev said that “all of Ukraine still remaining under Kyiv’s rule will go up in flames,” should the new U.S. missiles be used to attack either mainland Russia or Crimea.

China and Russia have both stated their aim to replace what they see as a unipolar world—dominated by U.S. interests—with a multipolar one.

Medvedev’s latest threat comes one day after an official at Ukrainian military intelligence suggested using HIMARS missiles against Crimea.

Russia, the world’s largest wheat exporter, has threatened to restrict vital agricultural and food exports to countries deemed “friendly” to Moscow, prompting widespread concerns of a global food and migration crisis.
