Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to the former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to “watch his wards” after he has threatened war with the US.
The deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council Medvedev warned the US President not to ignore the labels of “dead” in response to Trump’s comments over the Russian economy.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.
“We have done very little business with India; their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world.”

Medvedev warned Trump that his “ultimatum game” with Russia is pushing the US closer to war with Moscow.
Trump wrote, “He’s entering very dangerous territory.”
Medvedev warned, “Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war.
“Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country.”
Medvedev is not bothered if his words provokes a “nervous reaction” as “Russia is right about everything and will continue to go its way.”
He continued on social media, “Regarding the so-called ‘dead economy’ of India and Russia and the warning about ‘entering dangerous territory’ – perhaps he should recall his favorite films about the walking dead and think about how dangerous a ‘dead hand’ can be, even one that doesn’t exist in nature.”
During the Cold War the term “dead hand” was referred to the Soviet nuclear deterrent system which was called “Perimeter” which was designed to guarantee a retaliatory strike should there be an attack on the former USSR.
On Wednesday Trump slapped India with 25% tariffs which starts on Friday slamming New Delhi as they are “Russia’s largest buyer of energy” which is helping to fund Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, “Remember, while India is our friend, we have done relatively little business with them because their tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the world, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any country.
Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia’s largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING UKRAINE -ALL THINGS NOT GOOD!
INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25%, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST FIRST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. MAGA!
