Ex-Russian President's Concerns
Medvedev's response reflects the discontent among Russian leaders regarding Trump's comments. He emphasized that the only truly dire situation he recognizes is World War III, expressing hope that Trump comprehends the seriousness of his warning. On the platform X, Medvedev stated, 'In light of Trump's remarks about Putin 'playing with fire' and the potential for 'really bad things' to occur in Russia, I can only identify one truly catastrophic event—WWIII. I trust Trump grasps this!'
Trump's Original Remarks
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump remarked, 'What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, many really bad things would have already transpired in Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire.' Although Trump did not elaborate on the specific negative outcomes he was alluding to, he suggested that Putin's actions could lead to adverse consequences. This statement followed his earlier comments where he described Putin as 'going absolutely crazy' and causing unnecessary harm to civilians in Ukraine. Trump stated, 'I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin, but something has changed. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!'
The Question of World War III
While Trump has not explicitly mentioned World War III in his statements, the developments following his comments raise a critical question: Is World War III a real possibility?
