Says US & European "demagogues are not going to die in a nuclear apocalypse."
Authored by Dave DeCamp: Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday said he doesn’t believe the US and NATO would intervene if Russia launched a nuclear strike in Ukraine over fears of a "nuclear apocalypse" despite recent comments from US officials.Medvedev,
a former Russian president, also reiterated that Moscow believes it has
the right to use nuclear weapons if Russia’s existence is threatened.
"Let’s
imagine that Russia is forced to use its most formidable weapons
against the Ukrainian regime, which has committed a large-scale act of
aggression that is endangering the very existence of our state. I believe that NATO will not directly interfere in the conflict even in this scenario," Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
The former Russian president said that the supplying of weapons to Ukraine was just a "business" for the Western powers and that their security is much more important than "the fate of a dying Ukraine."
