Close Putin Ally Warns "Nuclear Dystopia" Is On Horizon If US Destabilizes Russia

On the eve of the emergency NATO summit to take place in Brussels, for which Joe Biden has traveled to Europe, ex-president of Russia and close Putin ally Dmitry Medvedev has warned of the potential for a coming ‘nuclear dystopia’ – as The Hill reports – based on NATO pushing Moscow into a corner with crippling sanctions and attempts at total global isolation.

He charged the West in the Wednesday comments of seeking “the end of our motherland” – warning that the end-game could be nuclear disaster if relations continue to unravel at this rate. The Hill writes:

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council who also previously served as the country’s president and prime minister, wrote in a post on Russian social networking site VK.com that Russia has been “the target of the same mediocre and primitive game” since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“This means that Russia must be humiliated, limited, shaken, divided and destroyed,” Medvedev wrote.

Crucially, he said that in a scenario where the Americans succeed, “here is the result: the largest nuclear power with an unstable political regime, weak leadership, a collapsed economy and the maximum number of nuclear warheads aimed at targets in the US and Europe.”

Meanwhile the temperature on Russian media echoes Medvedev’s ratcheting rhetoric…

2. Invasion of Poland and Lithuania
