Russia’s nuclear arsenal and the rules Moscow has laid out for its use are the only factors preventing the West from starting a war against Russia, a top ally of President Vladimir Putin said in an article published on Sunday.
Former President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, also said Moscow would pursue its war in Ukraine until the “disgusting, almost fascist regime” in Kyiv was removed and the country had been totally demilitarised.
In an interview aired separately on Sunday, Putin said Russia is ready to negotiate with all parties involved in the war, but said that Kyiv and its Western backers have refused to engage in talks.
Medvedev, who once cast himself as a liberal moderniser as president from 2008 to 2012, is one of the most hawkish proponents of the war. He regularly denounces the West, which he accuses of wanting to break Russia apart to benefit Ukraine.
“Is the West ready to unleash a fully-fledged war against us, including a nuclear war, at the hands of Kyiv?” he wrote in a 4,500-word article for the Rossiiskaya Gazeta newspaper.
“The only thing that stops our enemies today is the understanding that Russia will be guided by the fundamentals of state policy … on nuclear deterrence. And in the event that a real threat arises, it will act on them.”
Putin and other senior officials have repeatedly said Russia’s policy on nuclear weapons dictates they can be used if there is a threat to territorial integrity.
Russia has the world’s largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, with close to 6,000 warheads, according to experts.
Earlier this month, Putin said the risk of a nuclear war was rising, but insisted Russia had not “gone mad” and that it saw its own nuclear arsenal as a purely defensive deterrent.
“The Western world is balancing between a burning desire to humiliate, offend, dismember and destroy Russia as much as possible, on the one hand, and the desire to avoid a nuclear apocalypse, on the other,” said Medvedev.
If Russia did not get the security guarantees it is demanding, he said, “The world will continue to teeter on the brink of World War Three and nuclear catastrophe. We will do everything we can to prevent it”.
Medvedev also said Russia could forget about normal ties with the West for years and perhaps decades to come and would focus instead on relations with the rest of the world.

America with its nancy boy soldiers poofters cry babies and men in pink trousers
can only attack weak nations
like rice paddy farmers in vietnam
simple desert folk if iraq syria libya etc
they dont have the backbone to attack some one who can actually fight back
america really needs to be bombed as does israel
“Russia’s policy on nuclear weapons dictates they can be used if there is a threat to territorial integrity”.
There’s been tw o attacks on Russian territorial integrity. The attack by British SAS on the bridge, and Black Sea fleet attack, again by the British. But the fact is, any attack by NATO forces, will be be met with tactical nukes.
Me, I really don’t know why the Russians are waiting. Will they sit back and let the UK carryout acts of International terrorism against Russia?
I am British, but disgusted by my country, not only by the staggering crimes against the sheeple in Britain over most of my lifetime, but also their actions outside the UK.
After 2008, I regularly said on here, that the elites should hang for their high crimes, about 0.1% of the UK population, but we might need to do this several times. The rest can rot in prison. But this will never happen. The fields are full of thicko sheeple, and the rest is so rotten that no internal force can clean up the filth.
Let’s just say, there’s an uprising, and a claimed, new elite took over, the rot would still be there. Would they imprison every Freemason? Would they lock up every trained Common Purpose operator? The police state know who they are, but would a new system arrest, prosecute, and execute the organised crime bosses? To set that last question in context, the UK Nazi state uses ‘estimated’ organised crime revenues as part of the UKs GDP numbers, so why would the Nazi state be interested in cutting crime, and that goes for trafficking and illegal immigration. Every person who enters and stays in the UK add to the UKs GDP numbers.
This is crime on a galactic scale, just as they discover a structure 60 x the size of the Milky-way. Everything you thought you knew about astronomy is pants. Not only is the universe staggeringly massive, beyond our tiny minds comprehension, the universe is alive, and everything in it, is connected. Micronova is coming. The shocking US, Japanese, and the ‘none’ Southern hemispheres Summer, is indicative of the magnetic field collapse. Drought, flooding, heat, and cold, are all going to go off the charts. The M-field isn’t holding the systems in place.
They don’t care about the debt, because they know they don’t need to pay it off. The political instability is a direct result of Earth’s changes, Sun changes, and galactic changes. When you take Artic ice core samples, and they go tropics, ice, tropics, ice, tropics, ice, every 12k, they know.
Don’t follow much of international politics as far as individual nations are concerned, it’s enough just to try and make sense out of the political shit show -three ring circus here the U.S.
But I gotta say, that Medvedev is scary looking as far it applies to political will and decision making.
If something should befall Putin, and Medvedev is selected as his replacement; I think the U.K./U.S. will receive their just deserts.
I would agree, but there are some on here, who relentlessly peddle this notion that nukes are fiction.
Believe me, if nukes didn’t exist, NATO would’ve attacked Russia a long, long time ago.

Just translate “western world” to “the jews who control our fake leaders”.
And please don’t include me in your “western world” designation.
All well and good…
In the event that this is NOT chess-playing—-and real Evil is at work here—-then certifiably insane America may have embarked on a suicide-by-cop (Russia) sojourn into the hereafter…
Putin may privately sense this.
If so, the timing of the inevitable is in Someone Else’s hands…
Jew hatred of Russia is the cause of the war in Ukraine. The 1917 revolution in Russia was NOT a
Russian Revolution. It was a Jew revolt against the Romanov dynasty to steal the wealth of Nicholas II.
85% of the leading Bolsheviks in 1917 were JEWS, with many from the USA, like Trotsky. JEWS
again plundered the former Soviet Russia in the 1990s, with JEW Yeltsin and his family and cronies
seizing state assets for pennies on the dollar, thus the rise of the JEW oligarch in Russia. Putin ran most of these Jew criminals out of Russia, or locked them up, like Khodorkovsky (spelling?). Again, in 2014
Satanic JEWS like Cookies Nuland and Jew Pyatt ran the Maidan coup in Kiev. All three leaders of Ukraine since the 2014 coup have been JEWS, Yats, Poroshenko, and now the evil Zelensky…..strange in a country where less than 5% of the population are JEWS. The US Congress hosting Zelensky with applause is a total disgrace. Satanists like Senators McConnell, Romney, Graham and JEW Schumer
should be stripped of their citizenship and run OUT of America.
What a load of bollocks. There is NOT going to be a nuclear war , The russia/.ukrainian conflic is just being staged as a distraction from the set up of a world jew dictatorship your NWO.
There will probably be a limited European war that will be run to kill off the White Warriors of our European homelands to make it easier for a mass invasion of wogs and niggers with the aim of a total subjugation and eventual destruction White folk.
What the shit er parasite/jew is too thick to realise is that when a parasite kills its host it kills itself. At least it will clean the planet of the “evil” that is destroying it.
“I would agree, but there are some on here, who relentlessly peddle this notion that nukes are fiction.”
Carl, do you believe man landed on the moon?
Another thing, if someone should think there is a difference between the so-called conservative and liberal news reporting agencies, sources and individual journalists; think again. Here’s a good piece to ponder over:

Kabuki theater for the morons.
The nuke fiction disinfo being propagated all the time on these various sites, is similar to the flat earth kooks. If nukes were a psyop then there would have been no reason for the Allies to destroy the Nazis heavy water plants in Norway thus preventing the German development of an atomic bomb.
I agree with ‘The Truth’.
no nukes , no moon landing, flat earth
are jewCIA distractions and suporters
serve the jew !
The Great Resist: you ask a question that I would expect a presstitute to ask.
It is the wrong question.
First, there are two US space programs. We had the white program, often called Apollo, and there’s a black program that we know little about.
Apollo 11 did not land on the Moon. Maybe later missions did land on the Moon. The Black space program has been to the Moon, and maybe Mars. They’ve done this using anti-gravity lift tech, which the US (& Russians) acquired from the Germans post WW2.
@ “The Truth”
“The nuke fiction disinfo being propagated all the time on these various sites, is similar to the flat earth kooks.”
That is known as a strawman argument. It is employed by lawyers, politicians, and the uneducated. How about if I said people who believe in nukes also believe Arabs with box cutters organised 9/11? A strawman argument hopes to persuade by a contrived and false association; it has no business on a truth site, let alone being employed by a moniker that claims it is “the truth”.
As for the Norway business, the reasoning is tenuous when put alongside pictures and film of the aftermath of Hiroshima’s destruction that shows buildings still standing near the alleged centre of the blast.

“In the event that this is NOT chess-playing—-and real Evil is at work here—-”
Those aren’t mutually exclusive alternatives. War is chess playing; usually the working class of one nation slaughtering the working class of another. From the perspective of the “god” though, it is just a game…
“gods” plural…once again I apologise for the lazy “s” on my keyboard… 🙂
Carl Jones–you do not know why Putin hesitates? I surmised that Jew Russia waited years for all the Nazis and potential Nazis to assemble so as to be mowed down by the ten-thousand and more when the time came (2022 beginning). There is anti-Nazi Jew Russia but also anti-Nazi Russian Russia
lewis jones: ‘hesitates’, or foolishly believes international law will prevail?
Everything, very system, every religion, every sheeple, & every statesman is flawed.
Putin is a victim of his own success. He rebuilt Russia in way less than 20yrs. No bankrupt Western country can be rebuilt in 50yrs.
Putin expected, and believed that his Russia would be welcomed into the the NWO fold. He hinted at joining NATO. He did all that the West asked, & more, & now he and his Russian sheeple are being kicked in the teeth.
Putin has lost his way. He is trying to recover his SMO mistake. The fact is, he’s out of time. One more blunder, or MI6 terror attack, and who knows who we’ll get, but hopefully, it’s going to be some coked up trigger happy bastard who’ll do what needs to be done.
