In startling comments, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s security council and former Russian president, stated that Russia might be pushed into a direct conflict with NATO, hinting at the possibility of a third world war.
“It appears Russia is cornered with diminishing alternatives other than to engage in a ground confrontation with NATO,” Medvedev said in a public statement. He further compared the 74-year-old NATO alliance to Hitler’s Axis, calling it an “overtly fascist bloc” but with a more extensive reach.
Drawing attention to a recent incident in the Canadian Parliament, Medvedev criticized the applauding of Yaroslav Hunka, 98, a former member of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division during World War II. Hunka had been introduced and praised during Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit last Friday.
In his speech to Canada’s House of Commons, Speaker Anthony Rota had introduced Hunka as a World War II veteran who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and labeled him a “hero.” Following a public outcry, Rota expressed regret for his actions and resigned.
“No one, including my fellow parliamentarians or the Ukrainian delegation, was privy to my plans or my speech,” Rota mentioned in a formal statement.
Drawing parallels between past wars and the present situation, Medvedev, who served as the Russian president from 2008 to 2012 and was also its longest-serving prime minister, underscored the dire ramifications of such a conflict, hinting that it could surpass the devastation of World War II.

Why would Gog Umagog be “Terrifying???”
The Gemora in Shabbos promises anyone who eats 3 real meals on Shabbos will be saved from this war and from fire of Gehennim etc.
So just eat shalosh Seudos
Hopefully this is nonsense like almost everything else Russia says, but if it does ח”ו happen who says it’s גוג ומגוג? Do you think the Yidden who were killed in WW2 הי”ד didn’t eat שלש סעודות? Some say that was גוג ומגוג and משיח doesn’t necessarily come immediately after but some time later. There are a lot deeper חשבונות that we don’t understand. We have no idea what these חז”ל’s really mean, we just have to daven and have בטחון that all Yidden are safe and do whatever השתדלות we can including honoring שבת and eating שלש סעודות.
It would be terrifying if they didn’t throw the country equivalent of a toddler tantrum every five minutes and make some ridiculous claim like this weekly. “WAAAH we didn’t get to do what we want so there’s going to be wars and nukes and anyone who says mean things about us is a nazi” bla bla bla
Since sadly our Shul commenced this year with failure to blow שופר hence not complying with תורה precept of יום תרועה יהיה לכם we need to be exceedingly petrified & concerned, because there are consequences for ditching a מצוה עשה
Russia is like an annoying barking dog
147 Chazal knew what they were doing
Just in time for sukkoth
More Russian scare tactics. Yet the Republican fanatics don’t think we should help Ukraine fight against their aggression. I guess they’re waiting until the U.S. has to fight them.
Sort of like the Yankees or Mets threatening to play the Atlanta Braves or Baltimore Orioles. Russia can barely hold its own against Ukraine, which as nations goes would be in AA, at best (similar to to the Somerset Patriots or the Binghamton Rumble Ponies). So Putin is daring to go against the Free World’s All Star Team???
While Russia is known for its chess, it appears Putin is trying to play poker, and he doesn’t understand that one doesn’t bluff when the other players can see your hand.
YWN, why do you give a platform to obviously demented criminally insane individuals like this idiot calling himself “147

When R’H was 2 years running on Shabbos n 1931 & 1932:- Hitler got elected to power in ensuing year 1/30/1933.
When R’H was 2 years running on Shabbos in 1999 & 2000:- 9/11 occurred in ensuing year.
So clearly I am way more informed on this ענין than baltimoremaven & chugibugi & steinj & anon21, so each one of these critics shall require מחילה from me before next יום-הכיפורים for having defamed me.
147-Refuah sheleimah! Russia-they sadly have no choice but wage war with their neighbors and being forced to threaten others-poor bullies!
