The deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation noted that "nuclear powers have never lost to anyone" wars "in which their Fatherland is being defended," their land and their people, their values
MOSCOW, February 18. /tass/. Attempts to return Russia to the borders of 1991 will lead to a global war with the West and attacks on Berlin, London, Washington and other targets. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, wrote about this on the Telegram channel .
He noted that "the nuclear powers have never lost to anyone" wars "in which there is a defense of their Fatherland, their land and their people, their values.
"Attempts to return Russia to the borders of 1991 will lead to only one thing. To a global war with Western countries using the entire strategic arsenal of our state. In Kiev, Berlin, London, Washington. To all other beautiful historical sites that have long been included in the flight objectives of our nuclear triad," Medvedev stressed. "So it's better to let them return everything before it's too late. Or we will return it ourselves with maximum losses for the enemy. Like Avdiivka. Our soldiers are heroes!" wrote the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
The politician noted that his recent statement that a nuclear power cannot lose in a war was met with comments that "even the United States lost in wars." "This is a blatant lie. I wasn't talking about Vietnam, Afghanistan, or dozens of other places where the Americans waged colonial wars of conquest. I wrote about historical wars," he wrote, explaining that he was referring to those cases when the fate of the state itself is at stake. According to Medvedev, he was forced to revisit this topic by statements by figures such as German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and British Defense Minister Grant Shapps, who claim that "The world cannot afford Russia's victory in this war."
Medvedev offered to imagine for a moment that Russia had lost, and "Ukraine and its allies" had won. "What would be such a victory for our enemies, the neo-Nazis with their Western sponsors? Well, as it has been said many times, a return to the borders of 1991. That is, the direct and irreversible collapse of present-day Russia, which, according to the constitution, includes new territories. And then there was a furious civil war with the final disappearance of our country from the world map. Tens of millions of victims. The death of our future. The collapse of everything in the world," the politician described the apocalyptic picture. He asked a rhetorical question whether the mentioned figures really believe that the people of Russia will swallow such a division of their country and will reason something like this: "Well, alas, it happened. They won. Today's Russia has disappeared. It is a pity, of course, but we must continue to live in a crumbling, dying country, because nuclear war is much more terrible for us than the death of our loved ones, our children, our Russia..."? The Deputy Head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation also invited his opponents to seriously consider whether the hand of the leadership of the state, headed by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, would tremble in this situation to make the most difficult decisions.
Medvedev is convinced that "it will be completely different." "The collapse of Russia will have much more terrible consequences than the results of an ordinary, even the most protracted war," he warned, noting that the answer to the question of whether the Russian leadership has the courage to strike such blows if the disappearance of a thousand-year-old country is at stake is obvious.
