Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, has warned that a global conflict could erupt if Donald Trump continues what he described as regime-change policies.
Speaking to Russian state news agency TASS, Medvedev accused Washington and its allies of seeking to preserve global dominance.
“If Trump continues his insane course of criminally changing political regimes, [World War III] will undoubtedly begin. And any event could be the trigger. Any event,” he warned.
“The fact that the Iranians haven’t responded too seriously yet means they don’t have many opportunities. But they know how to wait; they are an ancient civilization,” he said.
Asked whether Iran has the strength to withstand this confrontation, Medvedev replied: “They will cope, but the price of revival will be high. It requires a high level of societal consolidation. And the Americans have provided such consolidation.”
He also criticised European governments for supporting US and Israeli actions and questioned the direction of Russia-Ukraine negotiations, suggesting Moscow risks being drawn into talks that allow Kyiv time to regroup.
Asked whether there are any guarantees that one day someone in Western capitals won’t decide to solve the problem with a defiant Moscow, he said: “There are and can be no magic remedies against the actions of arrant idiots and clinical bastards.”
“There is one guarantee: the US is afraid of Russia and knows the price of a nuclear conflict. If one were to occur, Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be child’s play in a sandbox,” he added.
