Ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (57) has insulted the US government as “freaks” and “bastards”. They would use the tricks of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945).
The Putin friend also said on Thursday, according to Reuters news agency, that a Russian warship with hypersonic weapons was on its way to the Atlantic coasts of NATO countries. And announces: “This is our main gift for the New Year!”
Medvedev responded to a video from the US embassy in Russia: The 50-second video expresses US solidarity with the Russians, who reject war in Ukraine. What happens there is ‘not worthy of her’, it says. In addition, photos of the war in Ukraine are shown.
“We appeal to the people”
It also says, “We are with each of you who long for a more peaceful future.” A graffiti with the words “No to War” (“No to War”) can be seen. “We appeal to the people: our countries have worked together to overcome the world’s greatest challenges,” the US government said in Russian.
Throughout history, the two countries have recorded many “common points in culture and progress”. “Your literature is taught in our schools, your works are performed in our most prestigious cultural institutions.”
Also shown are photos of Soviet cosmonauts, writers such as Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) and politicians such as Leonid Brezhnev (1906-1982), Mikhail Gorbachev (1931-2022) and Boris Yeltsin (1931-2007). Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin (70) is not one of them.
Crazy predictions for 2023
Medvedev was head of the Kremlin between 2008 and 2012 and was seen at the time, especially among young people, as a beacon of hope for a freer Russia. However, since the beginning of Russia’s offensive war against Ukraine, he has been making disparaging remarks about the neighboring country.
Only recently did Medvedev cause a stir with New Year’s predictions. On Twitter, he shared which ten things will happen in 2023. Among other things, the EU will collapse. Germany, Poland and other countries would form the Fourth Reich and thus lead to the division of Europe. Next, Medvedev predicts a war between the Fourth Reich and France. Civil war would break out in the United States. In the course of this, Texas and Mexico would establish themselves as a joint state. (two)
