Medvedev predicts civil war in the United States is imminent
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev brought his ‘expertise’ on American politics to bear in a recent social media post that saw the Kremlin insider predict the United States would collapse into civil war while writing about U.S. sanctions on Russia.
Medvedev previously served as the President and Prime Minister of Russia but his role in the Russian government today has seen him appointed Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council of Russia, though he has a wider function.
Medvedev often serves as a public mouthpiece for the more hawkish side of the Kremlin and has voiced opinions on a wide variety of issues that affect Moscow, especially when it comes to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
For example, The Kyiv Independent reported in February that Medvedev has repeatedly threatened Western nations with nuclear war since Russia invaded Ukraine. However, Medvedev’s latest public comments provided some interesting analysis of American politics.
In a post published to Telegram on September 7th, Medvedev provided his gauge of the political climate in the United States and suggested that the country would collapse into civil war while postulating about U.S. sanction policy towards Russia.
“Out of spite for the current administration, Donald Trump has threatened to lift sanctions against Russia. But will he really do it if elected? No, of course not. Medvedev wrote according to Newsweek. “For all his apparent bravado as an ‘outsider’, Trump is ultimately an establishment insider.”
Medvedev noted that Trump was an “eccentric narcissist” but also a “pragmatist” and businessman who understood that U.S. sanctions on Russia harmed the dollar and its global dominance, but he added that Trump still wouldn’t push back against U.S. sanctions on Russia.
“However, that’s insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the United States and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump,” Medvedev added.
The former Russian President then turned his attention to Kamala Harris and wrote that his audience shouldn’t “expect any surprises from her” because of her inexperience, and added that she was “just plain stupid” according to her enemies.
“Beautiful meaningless speeches and boring ‘correct’ answers to questions will be prepared for her, which she will read off a teleprompter while laughing contagiously,” Medvedev explained of a future Harris presidency.
“There were sanctions against the USSR throughout the 20th century, and they’ve returned on an unprecedented scale in the 21st. So, it’s sanctions forever. Or rather, until the US collapses during an imminent new civil war. After all, Hollywood makes films about this for a reason.” Medvedev continued.
Newsweek reported that this wasn’t the first time Medvedev has issued a warning that the United States would descend into civil war. He made similar comments on July 4th and drew parallels between the civil war in America and the conflict in Ukraine.
“It has become clear to many that the experience of long-term confrontation between the Union and the slave-owning Confederacy greatly resembles the Ukrainian conflict,” Medvedev wrote according to Newsweek.
In August 2023, Medvedev explained in an interview with Russian news networks TASS and RT that the United States was “in a state of disarray and conflict with itself,” hinting that the country’s problems could lead to civil war.
“America is currently in a state of disarray and conflict with itself. In my view, this discord is irreconcilable in a way, and such domestic conflicts often lead to civil wars,” Medvedev noted. “I don’t know what will happen in the US but this is the current level of conflict.”
Medvedev went on to say that there was “great discord among the elites” and added that “Confrontation is underway between the conservative Republican political establishment and the liberal sector represented by the Democratic Party, which has in fact torn America apart.”
A high-level delegation of the Labour Party (LP), led by Abia State Governor Dr. Alex Otti, today Wednesday visited the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja to discuss key developments within the party.
During the visit, Governor Otti formally presented a Certified True Copy of the recent Supreme Court judgment concerning the party’s leadership. He noted that the meeting was aimed at fostering clarity, mutual understanding, and institutional alignment regarding the LP’s current structure.
The delegation was received by INEC’s Acting Chairman, Mr. Sam Olumekun, and other National Commissioners. Both parties engaged in discussions centered on enhancing collaboration and reinforcing democratic values.
Mr. Olumekun reaffirmed the Commission’s unwavering commitment to neutrality, transparency, and the rule of law in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities.
