WW3 fears explode as Putin crony issues chilling '249 years old' warning to Trump

15:58, Mon, Mar 2, 2026 Updated: 18:05, Mon, Mar 2, 2026

A top ally of Vladimir Putin has launched a scathing attack against Donald Trump after issuing yet another chilling World War 3 warning. Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president, cautioned that the world is nearing a major confrontation, claiming that US actions could trigger WW3 and that a "global catastrophe" may be imminent.

He said: "Has the Third World War already begun, or is the world still not entering it, are we balancing? Formally, no, but if Trump continues his insane course of criminal regime change, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could trigger it. Any event. This is a war by the US and its allies to maintain global dominance. The pigs don't want to give up their trough.

"Trump made a grave mistake. With his decision, he put all Americans under potential attack, even though the Iranian regime is not well-liked in neighboring Arab countries. The main thing is that the late Ayatollah was the spiritual father of nearly 300 million Shiites. And now he's also a martyr. You can fill in the rest yourself. And now there's no doubt that Iran will redouble its efforts to develop nuclear weapons."

In the aftermath of the operation, Israel has continued launching additional attacks on Tehran, deepening fears of a broader and more volatile confrontation across the Middle East.

But I don't give a rat's ass what Medvedev has to say. Russia has no credibility to criticize.
Medvedev is VERY far up Putin's ass.

In newly revealed text messages between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon, they discussed how “psychotic” Trump is and if cornered he would launch a war as a diversion. They also talked about a hypothetical scenario for Trump. Epstein told Bannon that, “Trump would not blink twice at encouraging an attack on us, so he can leap to the country’s defense. That’s his mindset: If I go down, I’m taking everyone with me.”

I have known several very narcissistic wealthy people in my life, and everyone when they are cornered try their damnest to take everyone including family with them. It is always their family's, business associates fault and never their fault.
