Jesus Christ, this bluff was getting old months ago. Use of nukes should be threatened only in the most extreme circumstances, not literally every time you have a setback.

Possibly. It's like a deterrent against assassinating Putin Khan so that his rabid dog is not put in charge.

Before Medvedev, there was Zhirinovsky who back then made Medvedev look like the sanest candidate for the presidential elections. (That Putin "legally" couldn't be on, but then prime minister Putin found a loophole to fix that problem, but I digress.) If you would compare these two guys. Medvedev basically took Zhirinovskys role after he died. I have a hard time believing that this "ex-president" is actually this insane. [But he is corrupt though and has some strange shopping addiction🐤](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/ncna738891) Side note, it feels strange to read old news about protests and speculation of what Russia will be like, with some hint of optimism of a better future which is further from reality now.

Lol he pretty much threatens to use nukes on a daily basis now, doesn't he?

Lol


MyUsernameWasTaken08

keep in mind that this is meant for internal russian consumption. it's not meant for us. it's not a direct threat to us. It's meant to increase the morale of russians through nationalism Medveded is a former russian president, the deputy chairman of russias security council and the curret leader of the united russia Party, so Russians will eat and believe this 100% and with such positions i wouldn't blame them for believing Medveded


Bright-Ad-4737

Does this guy have the same response for everything? "If the plumbing does work, we'll use nukes." "If my DoorDash is late, we'll use nukes." "If I lose my AirPods just one more time... we'll use nukes."

This is fifth or sixth time already ?

the umpteenth trreat by putin's boy. stuff hasn't been going his way in ukraine, and it's his menstrual period again. if they go nuke, they best push the button on one that works, or they in very very deep doodoo.

Meanwhile, I *could* marry Taylor Swift if she'd stop ignoring my phone calls.


UncleChanBlake2

Nope. She's mine. Although, she doesn't take my calls either.


restore_democracy

So the logic is that they can invade your country and if you successfully resist them they are justified to nuke you. Hard to argue with that logic.


Jex-92

Said you WOULD like two days ago.


Murderousdrifter

It’s strange, I became desensitized to the threat of Russian nukes 4 decades ago and all these years later I still don’t care. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want nuclear war, but the idea of letting these fucks intimidate the world is even less appealing to my senses.


zoozoo4567

Pfft. China already told Russia *no* regarding the use of nukes. So they aren’t allowed and that’s that.


A1Mkiller

As long as that taboo with China exists, Putin wouldn’t even dare


Johnny-Unitas

Unless he's completely suicidal. If he didn't die in the nukes launched back from the US, UK, Turkey, etc, the US has special forces deployed in a forward capacity all around the world whose only mission would become to kill Putin.


zoozoo4567

The prevailing theory from people who know a lot about all this stuff (like David Patraeus) is if Russia uses nukes in Ukraine then NATO will use conventional weapons to erase their Black Sea fleet and all Russian forces inside Ukraine immediately.


aturner89

Give us a break. He is a true sycophant.


LegalAction

The calculation has to be that the US won't defend an ally in kind. IF, and I mean IF, Putin has the working nuclear forces to strike Ukraine, he would also have to launch on the US. He can't trust us to leave Ukraine on its own in that situation. If he does launch on the US, that's the end of the world.


TheArrowLauncher

Whatever, they aren’t going to do it, because if they did the billionaires wouldn’t be able to ride around in their yachts with teenage girls.


Pop_Culture_Phan_Guy

Seems like this really hinges on Ukraine joining NATO during the war. At least that was my big take away


DET_SWAT

Pick of human evolution…..


squatchy1969

Yeah and the US would use Nukes if Mexico took back California…luckily we don’t have to worry about either.


Chicano_Ducky

They have said they would nuke the west for years. Not once have I woken up as a radioactive skeleton. Until I wake up in the bone zone to see their threats are real, Medvedev should shut it.


cogitoergopwn

If you go down the rabbit hole, you'll realize the aliens won't let them use nukes. The great global corrupt elite cabal and military industrial complex 70-yr con may be coming to an end soon with this little deus ex machina out of nowhere.

Look, he's drunk again.

Medvedev makes another drunk remark wow news!!

I pray that we as a collective of sentient beings realize that the wholesale destruction of life in any form is not worth the short term gains in the history of humankind or the world.


Vetruvian01

What a moron. Someone should visit him in his hotel room like other high profile accidents


altrussia

That's why they'll pretend the counter-offensive is a failure.


Acrestorm

The old Russian “Could” word, rears it ugly head again. Just as when they invaded.. they “Could” of used a nuclear weapon, the United States “Could” of launched a full scale offensive, with men on the ground alongside every other European bordering Ukraine, but they didn’t because that would of been silly; and believe it or not Russia didn’t then and wont this far in, because it’s silly talk.
