Dmitry Medvedev believes that the worst-case scenario is developing in the Ukraine conflict
The West is bringing the Ukraine conflict to a stage in which it could escalate uncontrollably with potentially global repercussions, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned. His comments came amid reports that many Western countries have given Ukraine permission to use their weaponry to strike deep into Russia.
In a post on Telegram on Friday, Medvedev, who serves as the deputy chief of Russia’s Security Council, stated that Western countries, which are said to have signed off on long-range strikes, must understand that their military equipment and personnel either operating in Ukraine or carrying out attacks on Russia from other countries, “will be destroyed.”
He stressed that Russia considers all long-range systems used by Ukraine to be directly controlled by NATO personnel. “This is not some kind of ‘military assistance, this is taking part in a war against us.”
Medvedev said NATO wants Western involvement in the conflict to be seen as the independent initiative of certain countries, hoping to avoid the need to invoke the collective defense clause.
The former president dismissed this narrative as a “dangerous and harmful delusion.” According to him, actions such as sending troops to Ukraine or guiding long-range weapons are a “serious escalation of the conflict.”
While the US-led military bloc wants to believe that Russia would never use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine or NATO, “life could be much worse than their frivolous reasoning” allows, Medvedev warned.
He went on to say that the West risks miscalculating the chances of nuclear weapons being used, just as it failed to anticipate the start of Russia’s Ukraine operation.
This is not intimidation or nuclear bluff. The current military conflict with the West is developing according to the worst possible scenario. The power of the deployed NATO-made weapons is constantly escalating. That is why today no one can exclude the transition of the conflict to its final stage.
Russia has repeatedly said that a nuclear war must never be fought, ruling out the use of any nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
Some Western countries have supported NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg’s call last week to the bloc’s members to consider lifting “some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons” sent to Ukraine.
Several Western media outlets also reported this week that the US, Kiev’s key backer, has allowed Ukraine to conduct “limited” long-range strikes deep into Russia. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s office confirmed the reports, saying Kiev will now have a better chance of “countering Russian attempts to mass across the border.”
Moscow has warned that the actions Kiev’s Western backers could lead to an escalation and serious consequences.

Since the US keeps escalating and secretly sends weapons systems that were previously ruled off-limits, how long until we wake up one day and learn that Western nukes have been delivered to Ukraine? Then what? A new Cuban missile crisis? How does that get resolved? Russia is going to accept that, especially after we are now good to go using US long range missiles and jets to launch attacks inside Russia?
It will not get that far.
I don’t know what the Russian people are thinking but it is obvious the path this country is on.
Always remember that the Taliban defeated this country and made the armed services run like dogs with their tails between their legs.
How is it not going to get that far?
That is the crystal-clear path that we are on. These assholes in the US and Europe are making it as clear as possible what they want, and that is to subjugate Russia and ideally, break it apart and steal its resources.
So Russia is just going to hope that the long-range, nuke capable missiles headed their way aren’t carrying nukes, and hope for the best? Do you think that they have any trust, belief or faith in Western leaders to not do that?
Nuclear weapons will never be placed in Ukraine, that is what I meant about getting that far. Russia will not allow it from reaching that point.
Russia has actual Civil Defense and their subways are designed as bomb shelters against nukes. Any city done that with our wasted tax Dollars? I keep hearing they have plans for the big shots but no one else.
Face it we have a rogue criminal regime that usurped power called the Biden Administration led by Dictator Joe Biden. Legality is dead, justice is dead, democracy is dead, the rule of law is dead, but hey the Banana REPUBLIC lives on!
American policy reminds me someone walking up to an armed guy and saying “go ahead and shoot me. I dare you. You’re too much of a pussy to do it.”
With 50 other guys with guns standing behind the American
Like Montenegro? Or formerly “Great” Britain whose entire military numbers fewer than 70,000 people with two mothballed aircraft carriers? The mighty France?
like a stick, weak on it’s own, but with many you have a mighty faggot
The thing is that Russia doesn’t have much of their own gang anymore. Who are solid allies? Belarus, Kazakhstan I assume. But shit, they couldn’t even back up Armenia recently.

A stick IS a faggot. NATO couldn’t beat the goat humpers so what’s your point about allies? China doesn’t count as one of their allies?
How about Putin telling Fat Boy in North Korea he’ll trade him a million pounds of potato chips for 50,000,draftees or something ridiculous like that?
Artillery is “The King of Battle.” They outproduce all of NATO by a factor of 4-1 in shells and produce them for a fourth or fifth of what we spend, on and on and on. Plus they don’t have to transport their ordnance hundreds or thousands of miles or across oceans.
No it is not. It is a bundle. It is related to the word fasces.
Way to miss the fucking joke.
Russia didn’t beat the goat humpers either.
It’s a poor comedian who criticizes his audience when his jokes fall flat. Move on. Do better.
Be a man about it.
If you have to explain it, it was a poor joke to begin with.
Hey?
I’m at a loss for words today. I see the events coming over the horizon and they are bleak. We have no leadership, we have no diplomacy. War it will be, domestically and abroad.
Think the October Revolution in Russia in October 1917…weary of WWI, and disgusted by the Czar the hardcore communists seized on the chaos and took power…….the US is getting set up for a similar outcome……..Losing to Russia and China in Ukraine, Taiwan, etc. with Chaos at home….a small group of hardcore leftists (controlled and funded by the globalists) seize power. We have a weak civil war response by the right/freedom folks but it is a lost cause (again with foreign support of the new Communist Central Committee) and it is 100 years of tyranny in the US…….
If the revolution was a response to war weariness and was controlled and funded by ‘globalists’, wouldn’t it follow that any revolution would center on Ukraine or Russia where they are actually losing men?
Is Russia not fighting the Globalists right now IN Ukraine?
Poland, South Africa and Finland defeated the Bolshevik revolutions at the same time in their countries. Perhaps there is something to be learned there.
The West has not miscalculated. It has planned for what is about to happen. Only the American people can stop this madness. If we can’t let us hope that Russia has all of its missiles aimed at Washington DC to put an end to the Swamp once and for all.
