Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed that the outcome of the US election doesn’t matter geopolitically, because both candidates believe “Russia must be defeated,” and that if Donald Trump is elected, he may be assassinated if he tries to wind down the Ukraine war.
Medvedev, now chairman of Russia’s Security Counsel, made the remarks to his 1.4 million followers on Telegram:
The whole world stands frozen in uneasy anticipation, waiting for the results of the presidential election in the distant land of ‘Us.
There is no reason why we should have high expectations about it.
1. The outcome of the election will not change anything for Russia, as both candidates share the same bipartisan consensus that ‘Russia must be defeated’.
2. Kamala is dumb, inexperienced, and easy to control, as she will be terrified of everyone around her. All the real decision-making will be done by a coterie of top ministers and advisors plus (indirectly) the Obamas.
3. A low-energy Trump, spewing clichés like “I’ll offer them a deal” and “I have a very good relationship with…”, will be forced to comply with the system and its rules. He won’t stop the war. Not in one day, not in three days, not in three months. And if he actually attempts to do it, he could end up becoming the new JFK.
4. The only thing that matters is how much cash the new POTUS can squeeze out of Congress to finance someone else’s war, fought in a far-off land. Cash to feed the American military-industrial complex and to line the pockets of the Banderite scum in Ukraine.
5. That is why, if we want to please both candidates for the highest American office, the best thing to do on November 5 is keep pummeling the Nazi regime in Kiev!
This comes as Medvedev, who served as Russia’s president from 2008-2012, told RT in an interview Saturday that Ukraine joining NATO could lead to World War III.
“Shortly before his death, already at a very mature age, he [Henry Kissinger] as if with some regret suggested that now we have no choice but to accept Ukraine into NATO,” he told the outlet. “I think that he was still mistaken in this. There is no such predetermination. Because, choosing between vague promises and the possibility of starting a third world war — the choice is still quite clear.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated during his US visit in September that becoming a NATO member was among Ukraine’s key objectives in his newly unveiled Victory Plan.
Medvedev also said the US and European political establishments are failing to take Russia’s nuclear threats seriously and fears the new US president will continue to prosecute the Ukraine war since that’s what the military-industrial complex wants.
“If the new [US] leader is going to be fiercely dedicated to adding fuel to the fire of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it will be a very bad choice,” he said, adding, “Because this is the road to hell.”

“It’s really a road to World War Three. Whoever decides to continue the war will be making a very dangerous mistake,” he added.
Trump in September pledged that if he wins the election, he will work to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict before he’s even sworn in for his second term.
“I want to get that done before I even take office, I want to get that done as president-elect, because it has to be solved,” Trump said. “Too many people dying, too many cities are just in rubble right now, you look at the cultures just being destroyed. We’ve got to get that done, and I’ll get it done.”
