Details: Medvedev reacted to Trump's words that if Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin does not end the war in Ukraine, "it's not going to be good for him". The former Russian president noted that this was not the first such remark.
Medvedev, in turn, claimed that the delivery of Tomahawk missiles "could end badly for everyone, and above all for Trump himself".
Quote: "It has been said a hundred times, in terms even the star-spangled man can understand, that it is impossible to distinguish nuclear-armed Tomahawks from conventional ones in flight. Their launch will not be carried out by Banderite Kyiv, but by the United States itself. Read: Trump. How should Russia respond? Exactly!
Let's hope this is another empty threat brought on by protracted talks with the cocaine-fuelled clown. Like the idea of sending nuclear submarines closer to Russia. You know how it goes: a submarine surfaced in the steppes of Ukraine."
