BREAKING NEWS: Russia's Medvedev Threatens US with Nukes Again

Edition No210 | 01-08-2025 - Dima Medvedev is rattling the nuclear sabre again, in a highly entertaining spat with Donald Trumo, who in turn is calling the economies of Russia and India ‘dead’. What does all this rhetoric mean? Does it amount to little more than political theatre, until Trump takes real measures to restrain Putin's war machine.We unpack a startling clash: Dmitry Medvedev’s nuclear threats and Donald Trump’s sweeping dismissal of India and Russia as "dead economies." The former probably was already on your Bingo card, the latter possibly not. What does the spat reveal—and will anything follow to curb Putin’s war machine?Dmitry Medvedev, Putin’s longtime loyalist now serving as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, has been resurrecting his role as hawk-in-chief. Over the last three years, he’s issued chilling warnings:As early as May 2024, he wrote: “Russia regards all long‑range weapons used by Ukraine as already being directly controlled by servicemen from NATO countries… This is no military assistance, this is participation in a war against us.” (Financial Times)In late September 2024: “If Ukraine is allowed… to use Western long‑range missiles… we would reduce Kyiv to a ‘giant melted spot.’” (POLITICO)In July 2023: “Russia would have to use a nuclear weapon” if a NATO-backed offensive regained Russian-occupied land. (Wikipedia)All these things happened, the long-range strike capabilities, the campaigns in Kursk, and continued supply of munitions to Kyiv by its allies. Maybe not at the scales required, but substantial nonetheless, and Dimon’s threats proved to be hollow bloviating bluster. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/07/31/ex-russian-president-entering-dangerous-territory-trump/https://www.thetimes.com/world/asia/article/trump-tariffs-russia-india-dead-economies-7mvr38w85https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-medvedev-putin-russia-ukraine-war-b2800085.htmlhttps://www.ndtv.com/world-news/as-donald-trump-brands-india-russia-dead-economies-russian-official-warns-him-of-nuke-strikes-8993532https://www.politico.eu/article/donld-trump-calls-russias-dmitry-medvedev-failed-president/https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/07/30/7524131/https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5429394-donald-trump-russia-india-dmitry-medvedev-ceasefire/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-warns-russias-medvedev-to-watch-his-words-accuses-him-of-entering-dangerous-territory/https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/dmitry-medvedev-russia-trump-ceasefire-tariff-13917074.htmlhttps://time.com/7306697/trump-medvedev-russia-ukraine-nuclear-war-putin/https://global.espreso.tv/world-about-ukraine-diplomat-explains-what-verbal-clash-between-trump-medvedev-signalshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2025/07/31/trump-lashes-out-at-india-and-russias-dead-economies-and--responds-to-medvedevs-war-threat/----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
