Washington’s decision to supply Ukraine with longer-range missiles and allow Kiev to use them at will can only lead to further escalation, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned on Saturday. He said the US appears not to want the Ukraine conflict to end.

Strikes against the Crimean peninsula will not force Moscow to sit down at the negotiating table, the former president said. “The result would be exactly the contrary. There would be no talks in such a case. There would only be retaliatory strikes,” he warned in an interview with Russian journalist Nadana Fridrikhson.

Medvedev insisted that if Washington wanted peace in Ukraine, it could simply urge Kiev to engage in talks with Moscow, but that US President Joe Biden’s administration and “hawks” in Congress are “simply not interested in it.”

Russia could “retaliate in any way possible” should Ukrainian forces strike targets in Crimea or deep inside Russian territory, the former president warned. “We do not set any limits depending on the nature of threats, and are ready to use all types of weapons,” he insisted, adding that Russia would only be guided by its own doctrines, including the nuclear one.

“I can assure you a response would be swift, hard and convincing.”

Medvedev also accused European leaders, who have been supporting Kiev through means including weapon shipments, of acting at the behest of Washington and to the detriment of their own people. The cost of sanctions, military aid to Ukraine, trade wars, and embargoes are borne by ordinary EU citizens, he added.

Medvedev’s remarks came a day after the Pentagon announced it was supplying Kiev with ground-launched small diameter bombs (GLSDB) – munitions consisting of a rocket motor and an airplane bomb, with a range of up to 150 kilometers.

According to US Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, Washington will not prevent Ukraine from using these munitions to strike targets deep within Russia.

Moscow has repeatedly warned that providing heavy weapons to Ukraine could see the US and its allies directly involved in the conflict, and spiral into a military standoff between Russia and NATO. (RT)

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto issued a scathing rebuke of the US ambassador (David Pressman) to Budapest on Thursday;

“Nobody can tell us from the outside how to live, so it is of no interest what a citizen of another country – be it an ambassador – thinks about the domestic political processes in Hungary. We ask for more respect for the Hungarians, even from the ambassador. It is not Pressman’s job to interfere in the internal affairs of Hungary.

BTW … Pressman in an Ivy League (Brown) dipshit, a lawyer, a Joo, and a faggot … bringing his husband and two adopted children to very religiously conservative Hungary.

==========================

Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu had some choice words for US ambassador Jeffry Flake …..

“I’m telling you very clearly, get your filthy hands off Türkiye. I know clearly what you have done, what steps you have taken, and how you want to confuse Türkiye …. stage a coup … always looking to harm Türkiye.”

=========================

Victoria “Cookies” Noodlehead recently talked with some high level honcho in India about their lax adherence to sanctions against Russia. They basically told her to go back to America and take it up with the United Nations.

=================

Of course, you know about Saudi Arabia telling Biden to fuck-off in regards to increasing oil production. In fact, they decreased it!! Hahahaha

Lotta nations out there we need to fucken bomb if we want R.E.S.P.E.C.T. again.

The war is lost, and the US knows that. The best they can hope for at this point is to escalate the violence to the point where Russia attacks Kiev, and then accuse them of attacking civilians, and use that as pretext to expel them from the UN. Russia on the other hand is looking for unconditional surrender by Ukraine and to humiliate NATO and the US in front of the rest of the world. This will not be resolved without a lot more suffering and destruction.

As anybody informed the Brain dead Biden Administration that the Russian Military will defend themselves and their nation as a professional well trained military can .
The Russian Military are not the haphazard baffoons they see in a RAMBO movie !
Unlike American Military who must be concerned about a band of leftist assholes in DC ready to investigate and prosecute any time they go weapons hot !
Russian Military will go weapons hot knowing they are supported to kill people and break stuff by their government !
Keep poking the BIG BEAR Washington DC arm chair warriors behind your armor plated desk or hiding behind your skirt .
This time Washington you have bitten off more than you can chew and your about to choke on it !
