Former Russian president Medvedev describes US election as fight of spiders in jar
Russia is sympathetic to neither of the US presidential candidates looking upon the presidential campaign in the United States as a fight of spiders in a jar, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev told TASS.
"We never interfere into domestic affairs of other countries, we only defend our country and our citizens. From this point of view, it is of little interest for us who and how wins the election in America and how they are going to build their election campaign and organize voting, who eats who," he said when asked whether Donald Trump’s presidency will be beneficial for Russia.
"As a matter of fact, now tis is nothing but a fight of spiders in a jar," he said. "We feel sympathy with neither of the candidates but we will have to somehow maintain contact with any representative of that country’s legitimate authorities.".
On July 21, Joe Biden said that he will not run for the next term as the US President, supporting at the same time the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party. Joe Biden can do anything as dictated by his entourage because his successful will nevertheless deal with the problems, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said, answering the question from TASS.
"The president that is feeble and does not influence anything will hold the office while the replacement is being picked - probably this is more convenient. He became the ‘lame duck’ in the full sense of this word. However, his hands are fully freed for these six months. His time is running low, he can do anything when dictated by his entourage - his successor will in any case suffer blowback," the Russian politician said.
"We, regrettably, have become a half-step more closer to a global catastrophe, with the reason being full recklessness of the West, its absolute indifference in respect of the fate of the humanity. I hope very much the world without not finally collapse during these six months," Medvedev added.
"No one among US presidents before Biden was so deriding in eyes of nationals of his country and the whole world. This proves once again that the figure of a formal US leader is currently just a decoration, nothing more than a shield," the official stressed. "The so-called ‘deep state’ and not the elected president runs all the processes in the US now," Medvedev noted. "A strawman or an Egyptian mummy can be put in the Oval Office - nothing will change in the scheme of things," he added.
"The course of the history will give further assessment to actions of the US President, I will not guess anything in advance," Medvedev noted in response to the request for a comment on words of ex-US President Donald Trump that Joe Biden is the worst president in the US history.
