Dmitry Medvedev: From President to Russia's provocateur

Dmitry Medvedev: From President to Russia's provocateur

dmitry Medvedev has had a long way since he was in addition to the then US President Barack Obama as a Russian president and explained that "the solution of many global political problems depends on the sake of the United States and Russia." In his current role as the epitome of the Russian provocation, Medvedev recently expressed that Donald Trump's presidency was pushing the United States and Russia in the direction of war and warned of the nuclear skills after Trump had indicated to impose new sanctions against Russia.

Medvedevs provocations and the reactions of the USA

Although Medvedev acts as deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, he has no executive power. But his provocative comments still caused a sensation. On Thursday he expressed on Telegram, Trump should introduce himself to the apocalyptic television series "The Walking Dead", and referred to the Soviet opportunities for automatic nuclear strokes.

The US President responded on Friday with the command to move two nuclear submarines to "the corresponding regions". This confrontation comes after Trump Putin has set a new period to end the war in Ukraine, and threatens with US sanctions if no ceasefire is achieved-an ultimatum that the Kremlin is expected to ignore.

from the president to the critical commentator

Medvedev presents itself differently than at the time of his presidency at the age of 42. He was a lawyer without connections to the security services, in contrast to today's leader Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent. Medvedev was familiar with the Internet - again different from Putin - and sought to modernize Russia's economy and combat corruption.

his presidency, however, was regarded as a temporary solution to avoid a means for Putin, constitutional limits and to keep power.
