MOSCOW, Nov 2 (Reuters) – Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian security official who served as Russia’s president from 2008 to 2012, warned the United States on Saturday to take Russia’s nuclear warnings seriously to avoid World War Three.
Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s powerful security council, told RT broadcaster that top U.S. officials did not want World War Three but for some reason they believe “that the Russians will never cross a certain line.”
“They are wrong,” Medvedev told RT, adding that Moscow believed the current U.S. and European political establishments lacked the “foresight and subtlety of mind” displayed by the late Henry Kissinger.
“If we are talking about the existence of our state, as the president of our country has repeatedly said, your humble servant has said, others have said, of course, we simply will not have any choice,” Medvedev said.
