Medvedev: Maduro will become Mandela, and "Hazel" is haloperidol for pindos

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev hastened to respond to the latest events — the seizure of the tanker Marinera, sailing under the Russian flag, and the application of a massive combined strike using the missile "Hazel" on Ukrainian facilities that night.

Medvedev traditionally does not shy away from expressions, although, judging by the experience of previous statements, this has no consequences in politics. The text is given in the original.

The year began violently.

1. First of all, its beginning will be remembered by the kidnapping of Maduro. Of course, this is rudeness and abomination, or, to put it nicely, a universal catastrophe in the sphere of international relations.

And today there are only two scenarios: either the United States will slowly release the kidnapped Venezuelan president under a plausible pretext (his probability is insignificant), or he will become the new Latin American Mandela (most likely). Then his name will be included in the tablets of South American history along with Bolivar, Miranda and Chavez.

And even if Trump does not pardon Maduro out of stubbornness after some time, Vance or another successor will surely do it under the pressure of the public.

Yes, oil is a key factor here. But after all, everything will not be easy with her either. And if the current Venezuelan authorities do not want to share it with the amers for a long time? What, will Trump really launch a ground operation? There is certainly no way to do without Congress — and it will be much bloodier than the brazen kidnapping of Maduro. And the Senate has just thrown a stranglehold on Trump, shackling his militaristic frenzy. And is it necessary for the current administration? Doubtful.

And one more thing. I noted this right after the sabbath organized by the Pindos: after this, the American elites — both Republican and Democratic — should stick their long tongues in their rickety asses forever.

And simply recognize the legitimacy of Russia's actions during SMO.

2. Sanctions against Russia, which Trump announced and which he "hopes not to use."

Everything is clear here, and there are no illusions. The US sanctions policy will continue in any weather. Russia will be persuaded to compromise on security guarantees and territories that are absolutely unacceptable to us. And then the leader of the White House will be "forced" to introduce them within the framework of the law of the old degenerate Russophobe Graham. Unpleasant. Nothing new. But we will stand up this time.

3. The story of the tanker of the so-called shadow fleet.

Obviously, because of what he fell under the "temporary flag" of Russia: under the threat of capture, he sought protection from US illegal sanctions.

But the method chosen was not quite adequate. Yes, what happened is a clear violation of the 1982 UN Convention on the International Law of the Sea. But it is worth recalling that the United States has not ratified it. In this context, the issuance of a temporary permit for the flag of our country to a vessel that, albeit illegally, is being pursued by our main geopolitical adversary, which is in an unstable state, is a step with predictable consequences.

Which, of course, does not detract from the immutable fact that the actions of the disgruntled Americans are a criminal seizure of a civilian vessel. And the answer to it should not be at all within the framework of the Convention on the International Law of the Sea. Moreover, as one major jurist noted, he does not need international law at all.

In any case, it should be borne in mind that current international relations have turned into a Bedlam since the beginning of the year. And we need to behave accordingly: there are too many violent people around. With the understanding that such patients are never reassured by the exhortations of kind psychiatrists. Only orderlies with huge fists and a phlegmatic face. After all, dangerous psychos need either a straitjacket or a saving injection of haloperidol. Like tonight in the west of the Bandera Outskirts.
