    Russia didn’t say this. The clown Medvedev did. I call bullshit.

    Maybe read the fuckin’ article before writing a comment.

    Edit: Also, fuck newsweek for spreading panic and borderline false misleading information.

      After the third bottle of vodka, I too like to threaten everybody with nuclear war. The mainstream media are suppressing that information, though.

        This guy knows. I disagree about mainstream media suppressing information, though (at least in germany). I have often checked with countless reputable independent sources and this simply isn’t the case.

          I can positively confirm that the German mainstream media game never reported on my vodka fuelled antics. Might have to do with the fact that I prefer beer anyway.

          For sure, but the argument being made here isn’t that Medvedev is speaking truth, but that he can be referred to with “Russia says.” Which, yeah, he’s a mouthpiece for the Russian government, so that checks out, accuracy of the statement notwithstanding.

            I may have gotten a little angry after reading all of the first comments on this post. So I’d like to apologize.

    Good. Israel and the United States are fucking rogue states that have torn up the international order. If all that’s left is the law of the jungle then Iran needs nuclear weapons as Israel is clearly able to do what it likes, including genocide and use of nuclear warheads. And Iran needs a viable deterrent to ensure that Israel will suffer massive consequences if it tried anything

    Great. So we rolled Nuclear Holocaust Apocalypse. Maybe after the reset we’ll learn our lesson. Humanity still has a long ass way to go.

    I know this wasn’t publicly said by Putin but I’m all for Russia doing it…as long as Ukraine gets a guardian angle too
