One of President Vladimir Putin's closest allies warned the United States on Wednesday that the world could spiral towards a nuclear dystopia if Washington pressed on with what the Kremlin casts as a long-term plot to destroy Russia.
Dmitry Medvedev, who was president from 2008 to 2012 and is now deputy secretary of Russia's Security Council, said the United States had conspired to destroy Russia as part of an "primitive game" since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union.
"It means Russia must be humiliated, limited, shattered, divided and destroyed," Medvedev, 56, said in a 550-word statement.
The views of Medvedev, once considered to be one of the least hawkish members of Putin's circle, gives an insight into the thinking within the Kremlin as Moscow faces in the biggest confrontation with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Ukraine needs to learn from Mexico, which as a neighbor of a superpower never tried to join military treaties with enemies of USA, and has prospered. The woke Zelensky keeps pushing NATO membership living on the Russian border.
Putin went to war. This is all on that POS.
Putin seems to have promoted the left to bring us to our knees by spending beyond our means chasing the "Green New Deal". Putin looks like he's winning.

Regan brought the USSR to its knees by making them spend money chasing “Star Wars”.
USA attacked Cuba when Cuba imported USSR weapons. Did that bother you as well?
Straight from the talking points.
Yes, I am simplifying to make the comparison about spending money on the GND to our own peril as a waste of time and treasure.
Mexico is a third world shithole run by drug cartels and Mexico City oligarchs
Who’s “Regan”?
What happened to all that “Flexibility” Obama was talking about?
The Ukraine is the third nation Russia has invaded after the
USSR fell and they got their freedom.
If you lived on it’s border, you wouldn’t want some form of
mutual defense treaty.
Russia just proved my point better than I ever could.
Maybe this might be one instance where the sociopathic Dems and RINOs accidentally save us from nuclear devastation - whereby our enemies are as convinced as most here on FR that they’ll actually do something that’s incredibly and wrecklessly stupid.
A fat-fingered version of "Reagan". Bless me father for I have sinned and misspelled Ronaldus Magnus' last name.
