This guy knows. I disagree about mainstream media suppressing information, though (at least in germany). I have often checked with countless reputable independent sources and this simply isn’t the case.
I can positively confirm that the German mainstream media game never reported on my vodka fuelled antics. Might have to do with the fact that I prefer beer anyway.
For sure, but the argument being made here isn’t that Medvedev is speaking truth, but that he can be referred to with “Russia says.” Which, yeah, he’s a mouthpiece for the Russian government, so that checks out, accuracy of the statement notwithstanding.
Medvedev’s credibility is low indeed. He’s always the one to do the nuclear sabre rattling.
Even so, I wonder if this might not work as a devious plan for them. Give Iran a nuke, and if they use it offensively, they’ll be the ones testing the rest of the world about what they’re going to do about it without any risk of Russia getting turned into a steppe of glass.
Israel might get destroyed, Iran might get destroyed, but Russia will survive. And if Iran survives, that gives Russia more confidence that they will too if they use a nuclear bomb.
Russia didn’t say this. The clown Medvedev did. I call bullshit.
Maybe read the fuckin’ article before writing a comment.
Edit: Also, fuck newsweek for spreading panic and
borderline falsemisleading information.After the third bottle of vodka, I too like to threaten everybody with nuclear war. The mainstream media are suppressing that information, though.

Oh shit, my bad. You might want to forward this info to Wikileaks and be careful.
Hmm. But if I take your advice, how do I know, you’re not one of them?
He’s the head of Russias security council

It’s probably just as accurate as his countless previous threats.

I may have gotten a little angry after reading all of the first comments on this post. So I’d like to apologize.
