Former Russian President Medvedev posted today (May 31st), "A guy named Annalena Baerbock (the current German Foreign Minister) said that given Russia's nuclear arsenal, he no longer expects Russia to be utterly defeated. However, we are eagerly looking forward to Germany's economic collapse due to its foolish policies."
Comment: By mentioning Russia's nuclear arsenal, a key factor, Medvedev is emphasizing that Russia possesses strong military deterrence capabilities, which are an important guarantee for Russia to maintain independence in international affairs and not easily be overwhelmed by external forces. It is also a warning to those forces attempting to suppress Russia.
Germany has implemented a series of sanctions against Russia in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which have had serious negative impacts on Germany's own economy, such as energy supply tensions and rising industrial costs. Medvedev's statement of "looking forward to Germany's economic collapse due to its foolish policies" is a criticism of Germany's sanctions against Russia and aid policies toward Ukraine.
