Russian Deputy Chairman of the Security Council (and former President) Dmitry Medvedev responded to President Joe Biden’s comments on nuclear weapons reduction agreements by saying that dealing with the U.S. is ‘like negotiating with Hitler’, according to RT on Monday.
“Think about it, the US is waging an almost full-scale, and certainly not hybrid, war against us and seeks our country’s strategic defeat…Negotiating nuclear arms reduction with America would be no more useful than negotiating a truce with Hitler in 1945,” Medvedev said according to RT on Monday.
Medvedev’s comments came after Biden’s statement on the topic Sunday.
“The United States stands ready to engage in talks with Russia, China and North Korea without preconditions to reduce the nuclear threat,” Biden said according to RT on Monday.
The exchange happened soon after Russian President Vladimir Putin mulled expanding the circumstances where Russia could initiate nuclear responses to non-nuclear military attacks in a meeting on September 25.
Interestingly, Medvedev attributes U.S. domestic politics to the ‘outburst’ by Biden. He also called Kamala Harris Biden’s ‘brainless protégé’.
“Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, dismissed the offer out of hand, suggesting that Biden ‘blurted out’ the statement due to a desire ‘to help his brainless protégé’, apparently referring to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris,” RT said Monday.
According to RT, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also cast doubt on the possibility of nuclear talks.
“…it is absolutely impossible to discuss the topic without linking it to all other security aspects,” Peskov said according to RT. “…a war is being waged against Russia with the indirect and even direct involvement of nuclear powers such as the US, UK, and France.”
