“Historically, it was always easier for us to work with the Republicans,” the politician noted
MOSCOW, May 26. /TASS/. The only thing that matters for Moscow is that US voters do not choose a president suffering from dementia during the 2024 election, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, told reporters during a visit to Vietnam.
When asked which candidate would be preferable for Moscow, Medvedev replied: “The only thing that matters is that a guy with dementia is not elected.”
“But this is possible,” he added.
Speaking about electoral chances of former US President Donald Trump, the Russian politician described him as “a nice guy, but a bit of a coward.”
“Historically, it was always easier for us to work with the Republicans,” he added.
Donald Trump announced his presidential bid in November 2022. Incumbent US President Joe Biden said he would seek re-election on April 25. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis joined the race on May 24.

Trump fears his brand may be damaged and the worship ceases. I think that is what he means by Trump being a coward.
He’s already damaged his own brand beyond any possible repair…just like Tranny Fluid. It was shit from the start anyway. Now we’re all free to admit it.
American cities were burned in the summer of 2020 and all Trump did was Tweet out “LAW AND ORDER” over and over again because Jared said it would look bad if he sent in the National Guard.
Medvedev is right.
It’s good that he limited his statement to dementia and didn’t include all mental or psychological issues (i.e. stupidity, retardation, ignorance, pathological lying, egomania, psychopathy, etc).
Otherwise we’d have literally no alternatives to offer him.
I was just about to say that his standards are pretty fucking low.
Yes, low indeed. But massively above what we have installed now.
Sad, ain’t it?
Funny; no mention of peedofiles.
Pedophile.
I used to think the word meant “bicycle enthusiast”
What about Obama’s chick with a dick.
this is fine.
…because Obama deserves a dick up his ass every day. He earned it!
I would say as far as he was willing to go he is spot on.
Meanwhile in Peru, a new proxy war?….
Why Are US Military Personnel Heading to Peru?
The de facto Boluarte government and Congress are treating the arrival of US troops as a perfectly routine event. And it is true that the US military has long held a presence in Peru. For example, in 2017, U.S. personnel took part in military exercises held jointly with Colombia, Peru and Brazil in the “triple borderland” of the Amazon region. Also, the US Navy operates a biosafety-level 3 biomedical research laboratory close to Lima as well as two other (biosafety-level 2) laboratories in Puerto Maldonado.
But the timing of the operation raising serious questions. After all, Peru is currently under the control of an unelected government that is heavily supported by Washington but overwhelmingly rejected by the Peruvian people. The crackdown on protests in the south of the Peru by the country’s security forces — the same security forces that US military personnel will soon be joining — has led to dozens of deaths. Peru’s Congress is refusing to call new elections in total defiance of public opinion. Just a few days ago, the country’s Supreme Court issued a ruling that some legal scholars have interpreted as essentially criminalising political protest…
And the US government and military have made no secret of their interest in the mineral deposits that countries like Peru hold in their subsoil. In an address to the Washington-based Atlantic Council on Jan 19, Gen. Laura Richardson, head of the U.S. Southern Command, spoke gushingly of Latin America’s rich deposits of “rare earth elements,” “the lithium triangle — Argentina, Bolivia, Chile,” the “largest oil reserves [and] light, sweet crude discovered off Guyana,” Venezuela’s “oil, copper, gold” and the fact that Latin America is home to “31% of the world’s fresh water in this region.”
She also detailed how Washington, together with US Southern Command, is actively negotiating the sale of lithium in the lithium triangle to US companies through its web of embassies, with the goal of “box[ing] out” US adversaries (i.e. China and Russia), concluding with the ominous words: “This region matters. It has a lot to do with national security. And we need to step up our game.”
Which begs the question: is this the first step of the US government and military’s stepping-up-the-game process?
Why? Bringing Them Democracy™, that’s why.
