The verbal war that started between US President Donald Trump and former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev has reached a dangerous turn. All this started with Trump’s statement in which he said that India and Russia together can destroy their dead economy.
After this statement, Russian Security Council Vice President Dimitri Medvedev reacted sharply. He referred to ‘Dead Hand’ (dead hand). In fact, ‘Dead Hand’ was a system that the Soviet Union (now Russia) made at the time of cold war. It was an automatic system that used to automatically attack the Soviet Union, even though its leadership was disabled. This statement of Maddevedev is going to remind the nuclear tension of the Cold War time again.
Medvedev warns Trump
Putin’s colleague Medvedev wrote on his Telegram Channel that as far as India and Russia’s ‘Dead Economy’ and ‘entering the dangerous field’ are concerned, Trump should remember films like his favorite ‘The Walking Dead’. Also, they should also remember how dangerous the ‘dead hand’ can be.
How did the controversy start?
In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced 25 percent tariff on India. Along with this, he targeted both Medvedev and Russia and said that Russia’s failed former President Medvedev who still considers himself the President, tell him to pay attention to his words, he is entering a very dangerous area.
What did Medvedev said earlier?
This response came after the statement of Medvedev, in which he described the warning of Trump’s warning to reduce Russia a 50 -day ceasefire deadline to 10–12 days. He had said that Trump is playing an ultimatum game with Russia. Every new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war.
America attacks BRICS countries
Republican Senator Lindsay Graham told Fox News that if BRICS countries like India, China and Brazil continue to buy cheap Russian oil, then America will destroy their economies. He further said that if you continue to buy Russian oil, then we will wreak havoc on you and crush your economy. At the same time, Trump has already described BRICS as an alliance challenging the US dollar and has talked about imposing additional fees on him.
Putin is still silent, but Russia alert
Russian President Vladimir Putin has not made any public statement on the entire incident, while his allies are intensifying the rhetoric. Kremlin has said that he is keeping a close watch on the situation, as the US has deployed nuclear weapons in Britain for the first time since 2008.
