A top Russian official has warned that humanity could be at risk if the West tried to punish Russia for its actions in Ukraine, in response to U.S. calls for an international tribunal to prosecute potential war crimes in the country.
Former President Dmitry Medvedev, once known for his more liberal stance but now a decided hawk as the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council,
said Wednesday on Telegram that he thought it was a “crazy” idea “to create tribunals or courts for the so-called investigation of Russia’s actions” in Ukraine.
“These proposals are not only legally void. The idea of punishing a country that has one of the largest nuclear potentials is absurd in itself. And potentially poses a threat to the existence of humanity.”
He said the U.S. had itself sown “chaos and devastation around the world under the guise of ‘true democracy’,” criticizing the U.S. for killing Native Americans, nuclear attacks on Japan and for taking part in wars in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.
At the end of his Telegram message, Medvedev referenced the Bible, saying that if the U.S. judges Russia it could face the wrath of God.
“The US and its useless stooges should remember the words of the Bible: ‘Judge not, lest you be judged; so that one day the great day of His wrath will not come to their house, and who can stand?,’” Medvedev said.

these foul fuckers have the unmitigated gall to call on god?....to act like they have morals, let alone moral superiority?
fuck their nuclear weapons, they need to be ruined, brought down to where they will NEVER be able to attack another neighbor, brought down to where they will be a collection of states with no affiliation to each other, to where russia will be a chapter in future history books, "how one nation tried to hold the world ransom, and how that nation disappeared from the earth forever"
we need to start expanding SANCTIONS on ANYONE doing business with russia...do business with russia, then you do no business with the U.S., Canada, the E.U., or any NATO member...without exception.
and that includes any E.U. member still buying russian gas or oil...stop it, fucking now
