Moscow Warns U.S. That Challenging Russia Puts Human Existence at Risk

Medvedev has been a vocal opponent of the West's support of Ukraine

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, said Wednesday that it would be absurd for the U.S. to continue to provoke a nuclear power the size of Russia.

"The idea of punishing a country that has one of the largest nuclear potentials is absurd. And potentially poses a threat to the existence of humanity," he said, according to Reuters, which cited his Telegram account.

“So who’s going to give us a show trial? Those who kill people and commit war crimes with impunity, but do not meet real condemnation in the international structures financed by them?” Medvedev said, according to AntiWar.org.

TRENDPOST: The Ukraine War has been fought on two fronts: the actual war, and the propaganda war. Russia and the U.S. are two propaganda heavyweights and we have documented at least one instance where Washington essentially admitted to embellishing a story to further its goal of vilifying Russia. (See “RUSSIA USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN UKRAINE WAS A U.S. LIE.”) (Read our full TRENDPOST in this week’s issue.)
