A top ally of Vladimir Putin has launched a scathing attack against Donald Trump after issuing yet another chilling World War 3 warning. Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president, cautioned that the world is nearing a major confrontation, claiming that US actions could trigger World War III and that a “global catastrophe” may be imminent.

He said: “Has the Third World War already begun, or is the world still not entering it, are we balancing? Formally, no, but if Trump continues his insane course of criminal regime change, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could trigger it. Any event. This is a war by the US and its allies to maintain global dominance. The pigs don’t want to give up their trough.

“Trump made a grave mistake. With his decision, he put all Americans under potential attack, even though the Iranian regime is not well-liked in neighboring Arab countries. The main thing is that the late Ayatollah was the spiritual father of nearly 300 million Shiites. And now he’s also a martyr. You can fill in the rest yourself. And now there’s no doubt that Iran will redouble its efforts to develop nuclear weapons.”

The comment comes a day after the after the US-Israel launched the joint strike on Iran.

On Saturday, Mr Medvedev said: “The peacekeeper is at it again. The talks with Iran were just a cover. Everyone knew that,” Medvedev wrote on social media. “So who has more patience to wait for the enemy’s sorry end now? The US is just 249 years old. The Persian Empire was founded over 2500 years ago. Let’s see what happens in 100 years or so…”

Recently, Russian propagandists threatened to carry out a horror strike on Europe in response to Iran’s missile attack, as the experts blamed Donald Trump for “unwittingly creating political and psychological opportunities.”

Dimitri Simes, American author, editor, and political pundit said: “Estonia is waging war against us. I think we should give it some thought that Mr Trump unwittingly created political and psychological opportunities for us, he untied our hands for our Supreme Commander in chief to do whatever he finds appropriate to do for the nation’s security.”
