Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says that Russia's President Vladimir Putin should be the "leader of the free world."

If anyone thinks that Russia will stop at Ukraine, they're delusional.

If anyone thinks that Putin respects Donald Trump, they're also delusional.

Any world Putin is the leader of is not free.

The whole thing would be easier but Zelensky does not trust Trump. Rightfully so.

tazornissen.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Medvedev should either stop drinking vodka or do it properly.

Especially Donald Trump and his voters.

If anyone thinks Putin and free world are synonymous they're insane.

Russia has been in a state of tyranny since the 12th Century, and it all comes back to Kyiv. Everything else is a distraction.

The sentiment towards a long-lasting and reliable tool can be something a bit like respect.

Russia has lost 800,000+
Ukraine has lost <50,000

Russia will be an unpopulated wasteland at this rate

It wouldn't be the "free world" then, would it?

Why would someone like Putin reward people who turned against their own country for greed? They may seem loyal to him, but that will not matter.

Donald Trump is Czar Putin's client-king. We are now part of the Moscow Hegemony.

trump is Putins useful idiot. trump knows he owes Putin everything so will not cross him.

Putin is holding something over trumps head that he doesn't want exposed. Maybe something he did in Russia. They film everything.

"free"

Like a bullet train, suddenly "free" of its tracks.

rogerjharris.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Putin has been playing his KGB hire Donald Trump AKA "Krasnov" since the 1980s and is seeing all his evil machinations coming to fruition. Trump is giving Putin the Cold War victory we all thought the west won in the 1990s. That was simply one authoritarian regime re-orienting to the modern world.

loubear99.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I think we need to know what they think is the meaning of the word "free".

chrisgillent.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Of course he would say that. He's never been a president, always only Putin's puppet, just like the 🍊🤡

laurentguy.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Will Trump echo that sentiment, that Putin should be the leader of the free world?

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Trump sounds so gullible whenever he says Putin or any other world leader “respects” him. They think he’s a fool who is easily played.

oregoncowgirl.bsky.social•17 hours ago

He can’t be ruler of the free world because you won’t be free anymore.

briantoohey.bsky.social•17 hours ago

If anyone thinks that world will be "free," they're delusional.

rbolcoach.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Russia, "leader of the free world"? In what universe? Medvedev doesn't understand the meaning of "free". Putin has less than zero respect for Krasnov. Putin uses him and will eliminate him, one way or another, whenever he's done with him.

alpo27.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Japan's GNP is twice as large as Russia. Russia is #11 in the world. Italy is larger.

Putin is a dickhead. Without nukes, no one would care about his shitty-ass country.

mabinogi62.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Trump is doing his part to make it happen.

adl25.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I question if he understands the definition of “free”. 🤨

battlebee55.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Exactly right on both points!!

allchristmas.bsky.social•16 hours ago

With help from Trump and the GOP no less.
Trump is definitely delusional and so are the rest of them if they think Putin will give up any part of any country once he has it.
I don’t care what he tells them!!!

truckle4evr.bsky.social•17 hours ago

With Putin as leader, we would no longer have a "free" world.

davidgcook.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Russia is a trailer park with nukes. They have 100 million more people than Canada and its economy is smaller. Does anyone have anything much made in Russia? I've only had two things. Nokian snow tires (plant closed) and a set of guitar pickups (small maker). Without gas and oil, they have nothing.

donnasamoyloff.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I have Red Army Chorus vinyl, salvaged after my grandmother died. I have USSR chai that's almost as old as I am. And oh yeah, I have a Russian surname (but a Ukrainian cultural background and a Ukrainian heart). Thanks for the info about the relative size of its economy! We're doing okay, eh?

deliriumbob.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yes. Putin knows that Trump is a useless sack of shit, but pliable and easy to manipulate.

blacniss.bsky.social•17 hours ago

If anyone thinks putin should be the leader of the FREE world their delusional.

tlt55.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Trump thinks that he and Putin will conquer the world, and share co-leadership.

In reality, he is the gullible useful idiot who will hand 🇺🇸 over to Putin. Once 🇺🇸 is under his control, he’ll kick Trump to the curb.

meatballmom1.bsky.social•16 hours ago

That’s what He and Musk the Nazi are aiming for! The Orange felon is the useful idiot! This was all their plan! Musk hands the felon the election and then he takes over for Putin! Destroying everything in our government 😡🤦🏽‍♀️

Don't you have to be a free country to be leader of the free world?

donnasamoyloff.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Apparently, that's no longer a requirement.

jae-jwpez.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He didn’t say it was going to STAY free. Just that he should take over leading those of us who are free NOW

chsibley67.bsky.social•17 hours ago

MAGAS are fascist, they don’t care about that. As long as they get what they want & eliminate who they want, they don’t care about Putin or what he wants or what country he invades, or what he thinks of Trump. THEY DO NOT CARE! Hence being anti-woke and not having empathy,which is all about caring.

ausir.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Putin values Trump as his greatest investment ever

mathendeavors.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I bet the same people who thought Russia would *never* invade Ukraine think that Russia will surely stop at just that.

mtnmystic.bsky.social•17 hours ago

That has to be the most oxymoron thing I’ve ever read. Putin? Free world? Those three words don’t belong in the same sentence, much less the same continent. Vlad’s welcome to try, but 440 million guns (that we know about) will greet him.
Ever wonder why red is the color of evil? Russia, MAGA, satan.

legendarybitka.bsky.social•14 hours ago

That’s my theory as to why trump has made the decisions he has- he’s weakening and isolating us for easy pickings for Putin.

mrslibrt.bsky.social•14 hours ago

He’s benefiting in some way either directly or indirectly

legendarybitka.bsky.social•14 hours ago

I think it was musk/money. Putin put musk up to fronting donnie money for his campaign so he could stay out of jail. I could be totally wrong, of course.

mrslibrt.bsky.social•14 hours ago

He’s compromised. Doesn’t matter how. But we can agree that he’s got interests that have nothing to do with national security

legendarybitka.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Agreed.
