An "exhausted" Donald Trump could face assassination threats against the Kremlin if he "really tries" to end the Ukraine conflict

Trump was warned not to obstruct Putin's invasion of Ukraine, while Kamala Harris was called "stupid" and "controllable" by Vladimir Putin's government, prompting a warning to the president's rivals. Former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of the Kremlin's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev provides analysis of the US presidential election.

His statement reads: "For Russia, the elections will not change anything, since the candidates’ positions fully reflect the bipartisan consensus on the need for our country to be defeated [in the war]. Kamala is stupid, inexperienced, controllable and will be afraid of everyone around her. A synod of the most important ministers and assistants will rule, plus indirectly the Obama family."

Trump found himself in the firing line too as he was dubbed "tired" and Medvedev warned "he could become the new JFK." He added: "A tired Trump, issuing platitudes like 'I'll offer a deal' and 'I have a great relationship with…' will also be forced to follow all the system's rules. He won't be able to stop the war. Not in a day, not in three days, not in three months. And if he really tries, he could become the new JFK.

"Only one thing matters: how much money the new POTUS will knock out for someone else's distant war - for his military-industrial complex and for the Bandera scum [Ukrainians] to cut up." Medvedev's choice words come shortly after he warned the West not to underestimate Putin's willingness to use nuclear weapons.

He warned the West believes Putin will "never cross a certain line" but this is not the case, the close ally claimed. "If we are talking about the existence of our state, as the president of our country has repeatedly said…..we simply will not have any choice," he warned.

"If the new [U.S.] leader is going to be fiercely dedicated to adding fuel to the fire of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it will be a very bad choice. Because this is the road to hell. It's really a road to World War Three. Whoever decides to continue the war will be making a very dangerous mistake. You have to be an absolute moron..."
