"The defeat of a nuclear power in a conventional war may trigger a nuclear war," Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of Putin's powerful security council, said in a post on Telegram.
Somebody tell him about the USA and Vietnam, or Afghanistan, or even the Soviet Union and Afghanistan.
Then he says:
"Nuclear powers have never lost major conflicts on which their fate depends," said Medvedev, who served as president from 2008 to 2012.
Okay, so does Russia's fate rest in winning/not winning in Ukraine?
I don't care about Ukraine, unlike half of one side here, but I do not like Russia and what they stand for, which is the other side here on this threads.
This kind of talk is just mouth excrement. Who the hell does Medveded think he's talking to? Forget about Biden. He'll be gone one day, and God willing, Trump or DeSantis will be president in 2024.
Okay, Zeepers and Putinistas, I'm done, I don't want to be part of your threads any longer, but I will not just sit by and listen to a foreign power threaten us with nukes.
My take is that Medvedev is the “bad cop” meant to do two things
1. Scare folks — Putin can dismiss him as a loudmouth
2. Pump up the pro-Putin group with “look we are a great power”
As an aside, our own president threatened us the other day with F-15’s
