REPORT: Putin ally issues chilling warning about nuclear war

Fox News:

Ardent ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday warned NATO allies that a defeat for Russia in Ukraine could provoke a nuclear war.

“The loss of a nuclear power in a conventional war can provoke the beginning of a nuclear war,” he said in a Telegram post as Western officials convene for another meeting with the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

Medvedev, who also served as president of Russia from 2008 to 2012, has repeatedly threatened the use of nuclear weapons.

He continued, “Nuclear powers have [never] lost major conflicts on which their fate depends.”

According to Newsweek, the remarks by Medvedev come before a meeting between NATO and officials from 50 countries to discuss sending more tanks and weapons to Ukraine.

Medvedev said, “Tomorrow, at NATO’s Ramstein base, the great military leaders will discuss new tactics and strategies, as well as the supply of new heavy weapons and strike systems to Ukraine.”

“And this was right after the forum in Davos, where underdeveloped political party-goers repeated like a mantra: ‘To achieve peace, Russia must lose,’” he added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has continued to ask for more aid, weapons and tanks in order to fight Russia.

He said at Davos on Thursday, “Here are times where we shouldn’t hesitate or shouldn’t compare. When someone says, ‘I will give tanks if someone else will also share tanks.’ I don’t think this is the right strategy to go with.”

Writer Samuel Ramani tweeted Thursday, “Dmitry Medvedev warns that Russia’s conventional defeat in Ukraine might trigger a nuclear war. Another example of how nuclear saber-rattling is a sign of weakness and insecurity from Russia not strength.”

Take the threat seriously, but remember caving to such threats only leads to more threats and more wars. Once deterrence fails, as it did last February, good outcomes become unlikely.”
