Deputy Chairman of Russia's Federation Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said today that European leaders are pushing the Russia-Ukraine conflict to an irreversible stage, and as such "the worst case scenario remains the most likely."
Here, verbatim, are Medvedev's remarks:
“After Trump’s victory, European leaders seem to be having a “fall exacerbation.” The goal is to push the conflict with Russia into an irreversible phase. One moment, a Frenchman crows about supporting Kyiv if America steps back; the next, NATO officials pontificate on how to intensify the war against us.
Now, German chancellor candidate Merz has issued an ultimatum to Russia: either end the Special Military Operation (SMO) or, the next day, he’ll send the Ukrainians German Taurus missiles. It’s clear that such “ultimatums” are merely election tactics. It’s also clear that these missiles won’t fundamentally change the course of combat. Their delivery would only prolong the agony of the Bandera regime. But, the risk of escalating the conflict to its most dangerous stage with missile strikes increases many times over. Our President has warned about this.
Frankly, it’s astounding how much the current generation of European politicians seems determined to drag the war onto their own territory—to the clear delight of the Americans and against the wishes of their own people. The “vaccine” of World War II has completely lost its effect. Experienced, or even simply wise, European leaders have faded into history. They’ve been replaced by trivial figures with inflated self-importance. And so, the worst-case scenario remains the most likely.”
For any reasonable person, those final words should send shivers up the spine.
We have actually reached the point where actual nuclear war is on the table.
THIS is the legacy of illegitimate President Joe Biden and his cadre of pencil-neck, intellectual neophytes in the State Department and the Pentagon, who think that "Russia wouldn't dare."
They can. I think they will if they must.
This point is the crux of the issue. The inexperienced and historically ignorant people in Western Governments, simply do not see this reality. They refuse to accept that Russia would use nuclear weapons. Their DENIAL is, quite possibly, going to get a lot of __US__ killed.
