Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev wants the world to know that any transfer of nuclear weapons into Ukraine by the West will be considered by Moscow as a direct attack on Russia.
All this talk from countries like the United States, the United Kingdom and France about filling Kiev's arsenals with U.S.-made, long-range missiles, nukes and other deadly weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) constitutes a direct attack on Russia, this according to the new nuclear doctrine imposed by Putin.
In a recent Telegram post, Medvedev cited a report from The New York Times, bylined by four of its journalists, claiming that the U.S. and the European Union (EU) are currently "discussing deterrence as a security guarantee" for Ukraine that involves possibly sending nuclear weapons to Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Looks like my sad joke about crazy senile Biden, who's eager to go out with a bang and take a substantial part of humanity with him, is becoming dangerously real," Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, wrote in his post.

Russia means business this time
The idea of "giving nukes to a country that's at war with the greatest nuclear power" is so absurd to Medvedev that Biden and everyone else who is on board with such a scheme must be suffering from "massive paranoid psychosis."
It is almost as if the powers that be (TPTB) want there to be a global nuclear holocaust, probably because they know the jig is up and the world's power structure is about to change dramatically. This is bad news for the pro-Ukraine crowd, the entire empire of which seems to rest on Ukraine persisting as a "democracy" separately from Russia, which used to own parts of what is now considered to be Ukraine.
"The fact of transferring such weapons may be considered as the launch of an attack against our country in accordance with Paragraph 19 of the 'Basic Principles of State Policy on Nuclear Deterrence,'" Medvedev further wrote in his Telegram post.
Back in late September, Putin ordered that revisions be made to Russia's nuclear doctrine to lower the threshold for Moscow responding to Western aggression with a nuclear attack. The move came after several Western nations, including the U.S. under Biden, gave Kiev the green light to start using Western-made, long-range weapons deep within Russian territory.
In short, the updated document allows Moscow to treat any attack by a non-nuclear state that is backed by a nuclear power – Ukraine is a non-nuclear proxy state backed by the U.S., which has nukes just like Russia does – as direct nuclear aggression, allowing Russia to respond in kind.
After Kiev conducted a series of cross-border attacks on Russia using U.S.-supplied ATACMS and HIMARS missile systems as well as British-made Storm Shadow missiles, Moscow responded by launching its newest Oreshnik medium-range hypersonic missile at Ukraine.
"The corrupt USSA is getting desperate to start WWIII before Trump gets into office," one commenter wrote about the current tensions. "They don't care about anything but themselves and only wish to get things in such a mess that Trump is going to have his hands full attempting to make things right."
Another suggested that this is all just empty talk, claiming that nobody would ever give nuclear weapons to a country that is currently at war – especially when that country is nuke-rich Russia.
"This is just Washington windsock gaming," suggested another.
Slowly but surely, all of these incremental escalations are leading the world into another global war. Find out more at WWIII.news.
