Trump tells Russian official to 'watch his words,' but he bites back instead
Donald Trump (AP file photo) In a midnight social media post, President Donald Trump called Dmitry Medvedev a "failed former President of Russia" who had better "watch his words." Less than three hours later -- morning by then in Moscow -- Medvedev responded. He said Trump should picture the apocalyptic television series "The Walking Dead" and referred to the Soviet Union's system for launching a last-ditch, automatic nuclear strike. "Russia is right about everything and will continue to go its own way," said Medvedev's post on the Telegram messaging app. It was the second time this summer that Trump and Medvedev, Russia's head of state from 2008 to 2012, traded blows on social media. The exchanges have been striking not only for the verbal brinkmanship on display between the world's nuclear superpowers, but also for the mismatched stature of the figures involved. While Trump commands the world's most powerful military, Medvedev is widely seen as a social-media attack dog relegated to the periphery of President Vladimir Putin's inner circle. The viciousness of the overnight exchange highlighted the volatility and opacity of a geopolitical relationship in which Trump and Putin set policy largely on their own. And it put on display the combustible mix that can occur when the Kremlin's long-standing willingness to use nuclear threats meets Trump's penchant for late-night diatribes on the internet. Hanging in the balance is the future of Ukraine, three years into Russia's full-scale invasion. "In wars, traditionally diplomatic messaging is something that's done with a lot of care and discipline," said Michael Kimmage, a professor at Catholic University in Washington who specializes in the U.S.-Russia relationship. "The consequences of screwing up can be so huge." Grigorii Golosov, a professor of political science at the European University in St. Petersburg, Russia, said there was something symbiotic about Trump and Medvedev fighting on social media. Medvedev, who had styled himself as a pro-Western liberal when he served as president more than a decade ago, has recast himself as an uncompromising soldier in Russia's showdown with the West. But attacking Medvedev may also be useful to Trump, Golosov posited, by allowing him to show he's getting tough on Russia without attacking Putin directly. In June, Trump attacked Medvedev for saying countries could send nuclear warheads to Iran, adding: "I guess that's why Putin's 'THE BOSS.'" This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

Trump threatens to unleash 'most lethal weapons ever built' if Russia helps Iran
President Donald Trump has threatened to unleash 'the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built' if Russia supplies nuclear warheads to Iran. Trump a day after ordering strikes on Iranian nuclear sites aired a rumor involving Russia, and a warning. 'Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N word' (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?' wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform on Monday morning. 'Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY.' More Trending Trump continued: 'The 'N word' should not be treated so casually. I guess that's why Putin's 'THE BOSS.'' He went on to laud the US's airstrikes on Iran early Sunday, which involved 75 precision guided weapons dropped on three major nuclear sites. And Trump suggested that enemies have not seen America's most powerful weapons yet. 'By the way, if anyone thinks our 'hardware' was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines,' Trump wrote. 'They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly.' Got a story?

'And that's why Putin's the boss': Trump rebukes former Russian President Medvedev; warns against treating 'N word casually'
US President Donald Trump on Monday raised eyebrows by claiming that former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had suggested supplying nuclear warheads to Iran. He warned that the 'N word' should not be used lightly, adding, 'I guess that's why Putin's THE BOSS. ' "Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N word' (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The 'N word' should not be treated so casually," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "I guess that's why Putin's 'THE BOSS.' By the way, if anyone thinks our 'hardware' was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!" he added. This comes a day after Medvedev questioned the reasoning behind US strikes on Iran claiming that several countries were "ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads". "What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?" he asked. "Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage. The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads," he said. "Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking. The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon," he added. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin too condemned US strikes on Iran calling it "unprovoked aggression". 'This is an absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran, has no basis or justification,' Putin said. 'We have long-standing, good, and reliable relations with Iran. On our part, we are making efforts to help the Iranian people,' he added. Meanwhile, Israel widened its military campaign against Iran by striking sites tied to the country's embattled theocratic regime. Among the targets were the entrance of Tehran's infamous Evin Prison—long known for detaining political dissidents—and the headquarters of Iran's paramilitary forces involved in crushing recent domestic unrest.
