Russia’s former President
Dmitry Medvedev has warned of a nuclear war if Moscow is punished for war
crimes and told the International Criminal Court (ICC) they must not punish
them, in a sign that the Kremlin is clearly worried.
Medvedev warned that the
“existence of mankind” is under threat and said the ICC should be careful
attacking a country that has the “largest nuclear potential.”
He pointed out to the ICC that
they never punished the US for their global aggression and they should refrain
from trying to “legal void” actions against Moscow.
Medvedev wrote on Telegram on
Wednesday, “The idea of punishing the country that has
the largest nuclear potential is absurd in itself.
“And potentially threatens the
existence of mankind.”
He branded the US as a
“daredevil or an idiot” accusing them of trying to “sow chaos and destruction”
through the ICC.
He added, “All American
history, from the time of the conquest of the Indians, is a bloody war of
annihilation. And we are talking about the most brutal extermination of the
civilian population.
“It has become a signature
style of American politics, whoever is in power there. During World War II, the
United States destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in this way – only to justify
the huge expenses for the nuclear ‘Manhattan Project.’
“Vietnam and Korea, Yugoslavia
and Iraq, Cuba, Afghanistan and Syria are well aware of how disastrous the
consequences of such invasions are – the list is long, and constantly updated.
“America has killed more than
20 million people in 37 countries since the end of World War II, according to a
study published in Global Research.”
Medvedev continued, “The
number of victims of the criminal policy of the United States today is
comparable to the victims of the Nazi regime.
“So who’s going to give us a
show trial?
“Those who kill people and
commit war crimes with impunity, but do not meet real condemnation in the
international structures financed by them?
“Those who so firmly believed
in their exclusivity and impunity?
“Those who believe they have
the right to judge others, but be beyond the jurisdiction of any court?
‘With Russia, this will not
work. They understand this very well. Therefore, the filthy dogs of war stop by
with their disgusting bark.
“But the United States and
their useless mongrels should remember the words of Scripture: “Judge not, lest
you be judged; So that one day ‘the great day of His wrath will not come to
their house, and who can stand?’.”
