Russia claims WW3 will 'undoubtedly begin’ as it issues concerning warning to Western 'pigs'

A Russian official has claimed that if Donald Trump carries on WW3 will 'undoubtedly begin'.

We're only just into the third month of 2026 but we've already seen the US abduct the Venezuelan head of state Nicolas Maduro and renew missile strikes on Iran which they have confirmed has resulted in their supreme leader being killed.

Trump has said the US and Israel can keep up this rate of attacks for several more weeks and declared that the US objectives were to wipe out Iran's missiles and navy, stop the Iranian government from developing nuclear weapons and for them to stop supplying terrorist groups.

Dmitry Medvedev, one of Vladimir Putin's close allies and the guy he tagged in to be Russia's president so he could get around term limit laws, said Trump was on an 'insane course' which would lead to a third world war.

Asked if WW3 had already started, he told TASS: "Formally, no, but if Trump continues his insane course of criminal regime change, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could be the trigger. Any event."

Medvedev also described the US and their allies participating in the war with Iran as 'pigs' who 'don't want to give up their trough'.

Iran has been an ally of Russia, supplying drones for their attempts to enter Ukraine which have now passed four years without success in what was initially supposed to be a three day 'special military operation.

Russia has certainly demonstrated countries can start wars whenever they like but ending them and on what terms is never certain.

The former Russian president has a habit of saying things Putin would like said but would not utter himself, and has been an outspoken figure in the past with rhetoric targeted at the US.

Given Trump has taken out two heads of state in as many months this year, Medvedev was also asked about the possibility that the US might try and take out Putin as they did the Ayatollah.

"There is no magic cure for the actions of complete idiots and clinical bulls**t, nor can there ever be," he said.

"There is only one guarantee: the US fears Russia and knows the price of nuclear conflict. If it happens, Hiroshima and Nagasaki will seem like child's play in the sandbox."

Very safe rhetoric from him there.

Last year Trump spoke about the sort of response the world can expect if someone does to him what he's done to other world leaders and takes him out.

He had said: "That would be a terrible thing for them to do. Not because of me, if they did that they would be obliterated... that would be the end."

Trump also said he'd 'left instructions' on what he wanted the US to do if he was killed and insisted if he was bumped off there'd be 'nothing left' of Iran.

If he does die in office then JD Vance gets to be in charge.
