“Unique weapons” that could also defeat the United States: a Putin confidante is now threatening the United States with this.
Moscow - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has repeatedly threatened to use nuclear weapons over the course of the Ukraine war.
Now the next close Putin confidante steps in: Nikolai Patrushev threatens the US with the use of "unique" weapons.
Patrushev is Secretary of the Russian Security Council and knows Russian President Vladimir Putin from the KGB days.
In an interview with
Rossiyskaya Gazeta,
the Russian ex-military spokesman about a potential military confrontation between Russia and the United States.
Ukraine war: Russia could “defeat any opponent, including the USA”
"For some reason, American politicians, confident in their own propaganda, believe that the US is capable of completely incapacitating Russia," Patrushev says of a possible direct conflict with the US.
However, this is short-sighted, stupid and above all dangerous, because Russia does not need to intimidate other states with its military, but has "unique weapons".
These are able to defeat any opponent, “including the USA”.
The secretary of the Russian Security Council gave the interview to the Russian state newspaper just a day after Russia announced that it would transfer nuclear weapons to Belarus.

Ukraine war: Russia is at war with the US and “its vassal states”
Patrushev also used the narrative that Russia was in conflict with the US and “its vassal states”.
He sees the United States as a state that "has long become a champion of violating the sovereignty of states, of the number of wars and conflicts unleashed, and of the brutal and illegal hunting of citizens of other countries."
According to the Russian military, NATO's goal is to "continue to dismember" Russia.
The West has made a “military camp” out of Ukraine for this.
However, Patrushev went even further with his account of the warring factions: "Since at least 1945, the source of every escalation of tensions on a global scale has been the unbridled desire of the US authorities to assert their leading role in the world." (lp
