Russia's Medvedev threatens war with NATO over Ukraine peacekeepers

Source: DPA International

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday threatened to go to war against NATO if European countries stick to their plans to deploy peacekeepers to Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer "are playing dumb," Medvedev, who is the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, wrote on X.

"Time and again they are told that peacekeepers must be from non-NATO states," he wrote.

"You want to give military aid to the neo-Nazis in Kiev. That means war with NATO. Consult with [US President Donald] Trump, scumbags," he added.

1. Ruskies are seriously confused. Ukraine is NOT their country.

Therefore, they don't get to determine who comes into the country.

I think the Russians are blowing hot air. They have struggled mightily over three years fighting the fierce Ukrainian military. There's been a lot of human losses and destruction of combat assets.

There's no real appetite among Russians to take on the European "Coalition of the Willing" at this time. Putin and Medvedev know this. But it won't prevent their bluster.

Have you been out of town, DIMitry? Your boss already started a war. You are in it now. If you look around, you’ll find out that a good portion of your soldiers are dead or fleeing. So exactly who do you want to start a war with this time? And with whose army? Trump may want to go fight with you, but he has bone spurs. And I really really don’t think that he will get permission from Congress to send our boys over for that. I believe that would be his Waterloo.

For three years now Putin and his Putrinards have been grizzling constantly that they've been fighting NATO in Ukraine, not Ukrainians.



I know it's difficult to focus when you're blasted on wood alcohol, Dimmy, but get a bloody grip.



Add a few ALL CAPS and some misspellings and it's almost Trumpian.

Listen.

You're not the boss of Macron and Starmer or any of the rest of Europe, you revolting war criminal.

They've been giving military aid to the Ukrainians since you shiftless cowardly wallies decided to embark on your unprovoked genocidal lunatic adventure, you fascist fuckhead.

Maybe you should finish losing the suicidal war you started before you threaten to kick off another one, you pathetic waste of scrofulous DNA.

Trump is not the boss of Macron and Starmer nor anyone else in Europe, and has no business pretending to negotiate with you treacherous snivelling deviants on anybody else's behalf.

Purely as a matter of courtesy, they did consult with Trump a few days ago. But you appeared not to like it when they did.

The fact that the Ruskies had to recruit cannon fodder from an isolated enemy of the West because they didn’t have enough conscripts, says a lot. Too bad US leadership said nothing about that.

Russia is out of control and must ge stopped.
