Brutal announcement from Moscow: Putin intimate and ex-president Dimitri Medvedev (56) openly threatens the West with a nuclear strike!
Ironically, before the start of the NATO summit on Thursday with US President Joe Biden, Medvedev tones that if the West destroys Russia economically (e.g. with sanctions), this will mean a nuclear war.
Medvedev invoked fears in the West that things could only get worse after Putin:
“A post-Putin world would result in an unstable leadership in Moscow, with a maximum number of nuclear weapons aimed at targets in the United States and Europe.”
The warning is transparent. The Kremlin is trying to spread more fear, to intimidate NATO. Not likely to catch on at Thursday’s NATO summit…

Biden in Brussels
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden (79) landed in Brussels on Wednesday evening!
There he has three summits scheduled for this Thursday because of Putin’s war against Ukraine.
Because: The heads of state and government of NATO, the EU and the leading democratic economic powers (G7) are meeting in the Belgian capital. And Biden is attending all three summits.
The allies want to discuss further support for Ukraine and new measures against Russia.
