Medvedev: Europe 'Will Soon Be Gone'
Compares EU to a “sweet little old woman” who was taken advantage of by a 'fat-faced overseas relative' (the U.S.)
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, called the EU “true enemy” that has been hoodwinked by the U.S. into traveling down a path to inevitable destruction.
Medvedev took to Telegram on Sunday and compared most European countries to a sweet, yet gullible old woman who was “mercilessly limited in her rights by a fat-faced overseas relative, whom she trusted unreservedly,” according to RT, the Russian new outlet.
“First he cynically robbed the wealthy old woman, depriving her of many sources of livelihood and sending her millions of poor relatives,” he said. “Soon, he will simply throw the old woman, who has fallen into insanity, out onto the cold street, mercilessly slamming the door behind her in her own house.”

Medvedev has been one of Russia’s top critics of the U.S. and its near-limitless support for Ukraine during the war. He said in June that Moscow is in a “de-facto war” with the United Kingdom after Britain’s military chief publicly approved Ukrainian strikes inside Russia.
Medvedev has called the United Kingdom Russia’s “eternal enemy.”
“Britain always has been, is now, and will be our eternal enemy. At least until such time as their arrogant, despicably dank island sinks into the abyss of the sea from a wave triggered by a cutting-edge Russian weapons system," he said in April.
His latest comments come at a time that Western support for Ukraine seems to be waning. Slovakia and Poland have stopped sending military aid and the U.S. seems to be now more occupied with Israel.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said earlier this month that the U.S. can support multiple wars.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has shown how there could be trouble ahead for the Biden administration to get the funding needed for both campaigns. The Republican senator said, “any funding for Ukraine should be redirected to Israel immediately.”
The Biden administration is expected to have a hard time trying to stick Ukrainian and Israeli funding in the same bill. But Rep. Mike Johnson, the pro-Israel new Speaker of the House, has indicated that he is in favor of supporting all conflicts.
Johnson appeared of Fox News several times in the days following his election and told Sean Hannity that China, Russia, and Iran make up the “axis of evil” and it is an increasingly dangerous time for the world.
“We have Israel being attacked, we have unrest, we have the Ukraine situation we've got to deal with, we have China being aggressive, we have Iran with all the meddling, and China, Russia, and I ran working together. This is a dangerous time,” he said, according to AntiWar.com.
He continued, “Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran, and they're tied in now with Russia and China. I mean, it is a new axis of evil. That's how we see it.”
