Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the deputy of Russia’s Security Council, warned Thursday that the US and NATO risk a direct conflict with Russia and a “full-fledged” nuclear war by pouring weapons into Ukraine.
“The pumping of Ukraine by NATO countries with weapons, the training of its troops to use Western equipment, the dispatch of mercenaries and the conduct of exercises by the countries of the Alliance near our borders increase the likelihood of a direct and open conflict between NATO and Russia instead of their ‘war by proxy,’” Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
“Such a conflict always has the risk of turning into a full-fledged nuclear war,” Medvedev added. “This will be a disastrous scenario for everyone.”
While it’s widely believed that a direct war between the US and Russia could quickly turn nuclear, the risk doesn’t appear to be factored into the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy. Over the past few months, the US has significantly escalated its support to Kyiv in its war against Russia through increased military aid, training, and expanded intelligence sharing.
President Biden has maintained that he won’t send US troops into Ukraine to fight Russia directly, but the proxy war still risks provoking a response from Moscow. Despite the risks, some ultra-hawks in Washington favor a direct conflict with Russia, including Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).
Kinzinger introduced a bill that would give President Biden war powers if he determined Moscow used chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons in Ukraine, but the legislation failed to gain a single cosponsor. Kinzinger is also a proponent of the US enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which would require shooting down Russian warplanes and bombing surface-to-air missiles inside Russia.

As soon as this USA constitution give away is approved by W.H.O. in less than 2 weeks, the main stream media will probably be reporting a new terrible W.H.O. disease ever week, with new enforced restrictions.
Uncle $hmuel and his little sidekick, Israel, have been using tactical nukes for decades. There is no “red line” anymore as dial-a-yield bombs can be dialed down to take out a bunker or dialed up to take out a city. Russia knows all of this. They also know that escalation is part of the grand Zionist plan. WWIII. here we come!
Doesn’t it seem like a nuclear war is now going on because in less than 2 weeks the USA and 192 other countries may all lose their constitutions, and everyone including VT is basically ignoring all of it ?

Let Kinzinger fly the first NATO mission into Ukraine. Another chicken hawk. The US Congress is full of them.
