Medvedev is obviously the man Putin uses as a mouthpiece for his more bellicose threats. Which is kind of funny, given that Medvedev used to be seen as the 'dove' to Putin's 'hawk' in this relationship.

Putin pal's 'nuclear' threat of a '9/11-style attack' on eve of anniversary

If you knew anything about Russia, however, the Russians have never telegraphed their intentions. Whatever they say is merely rhetoric. It's when the're quiet that you have to worry.

Having said that, I would need to see an official translation by an impartial translator.

I wouldn't rely on Google Translate too much.

Not too bad if you ask me...

A few words in anticipation of 11/09

It seems that everyone is accustomed to the rudeness and disgusting narcissism of Western countries and especially the United States. To their reckless belief in their own rightness and their exclusivity. To their universal greyhound on any issue. Peaceful or military. What can I say? Nothing new. Just remember Grandma Madeleine Albright: “If we have to use force, it’s because we are America!” We are a responsible nation. We stand tall. We are looking to the future."

But still, sometimes you catch yourself thinking: well, how can this be, look, good people. After all, they don’t live on another planet. Have they gone completely crazy? Unlawful sanctions against Russia and countries friendly to us - no problem, no justification needed. At the same time, do not touch Western assets in your backward economies. The West can supply any weapon to our enemies. Our friends are forbidden to do this, frightening them in every possible way with reprisals. Stealing citizens of different countries around the world to be brought to justice in your vaunted Pindostan is completely legal. You can’t touch the Americans, they are “sacred cows,” even if they are seasoned spies, drug addicts shaking in withdrawal, or pedophiles with saliva in the corners of their mouths. And so it is in everything.

I don’t want to be too harsh, but they expect that at some point terrorists will again carry out an attack in the style of 09/11/2001, but with an atomic or biological component.
Or even worse: one of the leaders of nuclear countries will lose their nerve, and he will make an emotional decision to use weapons of mass destruction. Moreover, the nuclear club is constantly expanding and a significant part of it is not bound by any obligations.

And then that's it. Hana.
All that remains is to raise money for a new monument in the Ground Zero area.
Best case scenario.

And in the worst case, the wreaths will simply be lowered into the water...

So very Russian. “So I am shit; so what? You’re shit too. We’re all shit. Everything is shit. Pass the vodka.”

Yes, but "pass the vodka" comes first.
