The Russian leadership does not have too high expectations for the American presidential elections. Former President Dmitry Medvedev made this more than clear on Sunday. According to him, the elections will not change anything, “because the positions of the candidates reflect the consensus of the parties that our country must be defeated.”
Therefore, he has “no reason for excessive expectations,” Medvedev said on Telegram. Incumbent vice president and candidate Kamala Harris is “stupid, inexperienced and manipulable,” the current vice chairman of Russia’s National Security Council has claimed. A ‘jaded’ Donald Trump spreading platitudes cannot stop the war in Ukraine. “Not in one day, not in three days, not in three months,” Medvedev wrote, referring to Trump’s claim that he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours.
“Trump could be the next JFK”
“And if he really tries, he could become the next JFK,” the Putin confidante said, suggesting a similar fate for Trump to that of US President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963. The background to this attack has not been fully clarified to this day.
From Medvedev’s point of view, the only thing that matters is how much money the new US president will spend on his own rearmament and the war in Ukraine. “That’s why the best way to make November 5 pleasant for the candidate for America’s highest office is to further dismantle the Nazi regime in Kiev,” he added wryly! Medvedev was considered a liberal politician during his term in office (2008 to 2012), but in recent years he has become increasingly radical.
Orbán: Reconsider Ukraine policy if Trump wins
The Hungarian Prime Minister certainly believes in a Trump effect with enormous consequences for the war in Ukraine. Viktor Orbán has been preparing for a victory for the 78-year-old Republican for some time and is calling on other EU member states to prepare for the US’s change of course towards a peace agreement. This will also have to be discussed at the European Union summit in Budapest at the end of next week.
Europe would then not be able to remain pro-war and bear the burden of war alone, but would have to adapt. Orbán rejects military aid to Ukraine and is convinced that Trump would do the same and negotiate a peace treaty for Ukraine. In the American election campaign he supports the Republican former president against Democratic vice-president Kamala Harris.
