Not long after Poland claimed that Washington would strike Russia if it dared to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed that that action would result in a third world war. In fact, he added that any attack by the United States on Russia would usher in World War 3.
Medvedev, who currently serves as Deputy Chair of Russia’s Security Council, made the remarks not long after Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski claimed Washington had threatened to conduct such a strike should Russia use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Russia’s New Invasion Is Targeting Ukraine’s Second Largest City, And That Means “Nuclear Armageddon”
According to a report by RT, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Medvedev suggested that Sikorski “apparently, has decided to scare his masters.” He noted that Washington, unlike Warsaw, has so far refrained from making any such threats publicly “because they are more cautious” than the Poles. “Americans hitting our targets means starting a world war, and a Foreign Minister, even of a country like Poland, should understand that,” Medvedev added.
Russia: Zelensky Is A “War Criminal” And A “Legitimate Military Target”
Medvedev has also previously called Ukrainian actor president Volodymyr Zelensky a “legitimate military target,” setting the stage for any other ruling class who helps him in the war to also be labeled as such.
The former Russian president also added to the comments made by Polish President Andrzej Duda last month when he said his country would be willing to host U.S. nuclear weapons if offered such an opportunity under NATO’s (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) sharing mechanism. Medvedev warned that in case of a nuclear confrontation, “Warsaw won’t be left out, and will surely get its share of radioactive ash,” asking if this is the outcome the Polish leadership really wants.
There’s a lot of rhetoric right now about a possible war, but so far, no moves have been made to actually fling the globe into a major conflagration. Yet. Let’s just hope it stays that way, with rulers making comments, and the slave class staying oblivious to those comments. Never forget that it’s the slave class that will fight the wars the ruling class starts.
