Loading ...Trump Threatens Russia’s ‘Failed Former President’ Medvedev Who Better ‘Watch His Words’
It’s probably not a good thing when the verbal brinkmanship which has long been on display between the world’s nuclear superpowers sees outspoken Russian hawk and firebrand Dmitri Medvedev directly clash with President Trump.
President Trump, in an unusual direct call-out of the Kremlin national security official (for the second time, after an earlier July exchange of words) – and which was issued on Truth Social at midnight – called Medvedev a “failed former President of Russia” who had better “watch his words.”
Medvedev had warned Tuesday in the wake of Trump reducing a deadline for Russia to agree a Ukraine peace settlement down to ten days that “Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran” and so “Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with (Trump’s) own country.”
“If some words from the former president of Russia trigger such a nervous reaction from the high-and-mighty president of the United States, then Russia is doing everything right and will continue to proceed along its own path,”. Remember “how dangerous the fabled Dead Hand can be.”
