Putin Crony: If You Punish Russia, We Might Just Nuke All of You

The seemingly mild-mannered former Russian president the world once saw as a moderate counterbalance to Vladimir Putin says it’s “absurd” to think of punishing Russia for its war against Ukraine because the country has “major nuclear potential.” Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s powerful Security Council, doubled down on comments he made in St. Petersburg last month in a tirade against the U.S. on Telegram early today, the Daily Beast reports.

Calling proposals to prosecute Russia for war crimes “legally void,” he said any attempts to do so “potentially threaten the existence of mankind.” “The idea of ​​punishing a country that has major nuclear potential is absurd in itself,” he wrote, before launching into a rant against the “idiot” U.S. Citing America’s history of “senseless wars,” Medvedev appeared to argue that Russia should not be held to account for slaughtering thousands of civilians in Ukraine because the U.S. military did the same in Vietnam, Syria, and Afghanistan, among other countries. “So who is it that’s planning to arrange a show trial for us?… This will not work with Russia,” he declared.

  1. We are all doomed. In the mean time people are busy eating out at steakhouses and paying $200 for a piece of meat. Others are hosting pool parties at their manions. Others are doing avieiros on private jets. Others are spending millions on building ostentatious homes. Hashem is only so patient. After a while it runs out and Putin may very well be the shaliach.

    • Others, ie YOU, are focusing only on others instead of only on yourself. When mussar is given in the way prescribed by the Torah, signing anonymously acts as antithesis.

  2. During Medvedev’s visit to the US in 2010 while he was serving as Russian President, he went with Obama to a burger joint to eat lunch. An NPR reporter noted as follows:
    “Obama ate a traditional cheeseburger, while Medvedev added jalapenos, mushrooms and onions to his… The pair shared an order of fries, according to the White House… The packed-in patrons gawked.”
    The NPR reporter also noted the following “priceless exchange between Obama and Medvedev”:

    OBAMA: The only thing about these burgers is you’ve got to watch out for your tie. If you like that tie, be careful.

    MEDVEDEV: I have plenty of ties. Yesterday, I worked in jeans. That was good.

    OBAMA: Everybody said you looked very good in them.
