“Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side. We will bury you,” he said quoting former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev.
Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday Russia could have a right to go to war with NATO.
Good news then: If you go to war with one NATO member you get war with the rest of them absolutely free!
For 4 Easy payments of 19.95 you too can get your shit pushed in by 31 different countries, with the added bonus of having someone else raise your children.
They have the right to, but not the capability
And we’ve seen what third tier NATO gear did to Russia. Wait until they see the second string stuff.
not to mention russia spent the whole time complaining about NATO helping ukraine

Meanwhile in Ukraine…
Going to war isn’t about rights. Rights are a soft power thing while war is purely about hard power. What is he even trying to say here? Like if there was a right and lack of a right to war, what would they look like? What would the functional difference between the two be?
It’s psyops, nothing more. They perceive it as “playing the west’s game” in a double bid to stoke their own citizens and trip up NATO counterparts by using “western” language against them.
The right in this context is invented: A projection of hard power through the lip service of soft power.
A right to war? Are you fucking high?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The former Russian Prime Minister - widely seen as a stopgap for Vladimir Putin - repeatedly takes to social media to write provocative and inflammatory statements about the Ukraine war and its Western allies.
In Tuesday’s tweet, Medvedev warned the “apocalypse” was “drawing nearer”, quoting biblical verse and old Soviet leaders.
“We are remembered until we stand in the others’ way,” attributed to Vladimir Lenin, who led the Bolshevik Revolution and was the first leader and founder of the Soviet Union.
Medvedev, Russia’s Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, ended the tweet with a notorious quote from former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev made to Western ambassadors in 1956, which reads: "Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side.
Most of Medvedev’s past threats have rung hollow or provoked ridicule online from large numbers of social media users.
He added Poland was “temporarily occupied”, alluding to NATO presence inside the country, which includes 10,000 American troops, according to AP.
The original article contains 629 words, the summary contains 160 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
And not even 15 years ago this russkie was hailed as the dovish counterpart to Putler.
History’s on their side? Boy do I have news for him…

You jest now but that’s only because you’re not staring down the barrel of a T64 that’s run out of gas because the crew sold their reserves on the black market for vodka.
Well, recent history involves a lot of wars kicking Russians ass. Afghanistan, Chechnya, Ukraine…
Unfortunately they did win the 2016 US presidential election and Brexit.
Clown shows don’t count as wars
And everyone has the right to shoot back. Not sure why such a declaration comes across as so one sided.
I mean… he’s not wrong? They could have a war with NATO any time they wanted it. Russia could have war with NATO whenever they want it. They’ve been very careful to not actually DO that, of course. Last thing they need is to start losing another one with someone who won’t have any difficulty in bringing the full conflict right to them.
It’s a very “hold me back, bros” sentiment. Only his bro, singular, is Belarus.
I’m torn between “oh yeah? that’s crazy” and “oh god we’re all going to nuke each other”
Can’t even take on Ukraine, you want to come at every other western country? Lol
Russia is the irritating kid down the street who just broke his nerf gun so he’s threatening to throw the darts at you instead and tell his mom you’re not invited to his birthday party…
Feel free to exercise that right at your convenience

“Mister Krushchev said, “We will bury you” I don’t subscribe to this point of view It’d be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too”
