Medvedev has turned into one of the most hard-hitting - and often quite amusing - right wing hawk types in the public media space despite his high-powered job running the Defence Council. He serves as a good reminder to his Western peers that should they succeed in toppling Putin (which they won't), who they might get in his place will surely be far less palatable.

Thank you for the post. I am sadly in agreement with what he said. The West, the US and all its suzerains, are now at a moral low point. BUT, a question. I do not understand the last sentence: ---And from now on, they are not just enemies of Russia.--- Did he mean: 1. And from now on, they are enemies of Russia. (A translation problem?) OR 2. And from now on, they are not just enemies of Russia........but also enemies of, say, A. "humanity"? or B. possibly "all honorable people"? or C. "some other set of people or nations"? Thank you in advance.

Medvedev can say what he likes and says things other people are not in a position to mention.

At the very least he is a weathervane for prevailing opinion in some circles.

Glad to hear him say it.

Not conforming the mainstream US MSM memes would get him, what is the word today 'Canceled?'

Almost simultaneously, Andrei Martyanov published his latest post on the same topic (with a funny meme as well, though not strictly related): https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2024/04/on-lighter-note.html
