Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and close ally of Vladimir Putinencouraged migrants to “commit atrocities” in an unbalanced speech as he called on his country to “punish Europe”.

And as tensions with the West continue to rise, the deputy head of the Russian Security Council also coldly observed that any direct conflict with the United States “would obviously escalate into a global nuclear war.”

Medvedev, known for his fiery rhetoric, especially since Putin’s invasion Ukraine almost three years ago, was unleashed in a long message shared this morning via the instant messaging application Telegram.

He mentioned the remark of an anonymous “American colleague” 20 years ago regarding the war in Iraq, namely: “Punish France, ignore Germany, forgive”. Russia“.

Medvedev explained: “Why did I hold that back? Here’s why: this linguistic triad is perfectly suited to the situation that will arise (and it will certainly arise one day) in connection with the end of the West’s hybrid war against Russia.”

Russiahe said, “would forgive the weak countries that succumbed to the pressure of the Anglo-Saxons and took at least a passive part in Western anti-Russian garbage.”

Furthermore, it would ignore the United States, Medvedev continued, explaining: “We do not expect friendship in the next 100 years, and fighting with America is expensive – a direct conflict would obviously escalate into a nuclear war world.”

Finally, and perhaps most worryingly, Russia would also seek to “punish Europe,” Medvedev added.

He said: “It is Europe, having become a mean and stupid old woman, which has become the main bastion of Russophobia in the world.

“It is a brainless Europe that has furiously promoted an incompetent sanctions campaign, which has resulted in colossal losses for its citizens.

“It is bloodthirsty Europe that has fed all the most rabid demons of war, without worrying about the losses of the parties to the conflict.

“This is why Europe must be punished by all means at our disposal: political, economic and all kinds of hybrid means. And this is why we must help any destructive process in Europe.

“Long live the aggressive pogromists in its historic streets! Glory to the crowds of migrants who commit atrocities and hatred, destroying the rainbow of European values!

“Let all the vile European bureaucrats disappear in the course of future civil clashes.”

Medvedev was apparently motivated by claims by Russian state-owned Oboronlogistics that the Norwegian-flagged ship Oslo Carrier 3 refused to rescue Russian sailors from the sinking of the Ursa Major in the Mediterranean Sea earlier this week – although media reports Westerners have not verified their allegations. .

Nevertheless, Medvedev, citing the Bible, said: “This cannot be forgiven.

“Let us act, for it is said: “The righteous will rejoice when he sees vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked” (Psalm 57:11).
