Putin ally’s chilling nuke threat as he warns US will be rocked by another 9/11-style attack involving nuclear weapons | The Sun

ON the 22nd anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, one of Vladimir Putin's top allies has issued a chilling nuclear threat to the United States.

In his latest hostile comments towards the west, Kremlin mouthpiece Dmitry Medvedev suggested the US could soon be the target of a nuclear attack.


Medvedev is seen as Mad Vlad’s 'yes man' and often makes blood curdling threats against the West.  

Now, he's claimed western countries – "especially the United States" – are "rude" and "narcissistic", and "reckless in their belief of rightness."

His chilling message on Telegram read: "They will wait until at some point, terrorists will again carry out an attack in the style of September 11, 2001, but with an atomic or biological component.

"Or even worse: one of the leaders of nuclear countries will lose their nerve, and he will make an emotional decision to use weapons of mass destruction."

His remarks came on the 22nd anniversary of the terror attacks on the US, which saw a group of al-Qaeda terrorists hijack four airliners and crash them into major US locations.

While Medvedev didn't suggest outright that Russia would launch the nuclear attack against the US, in the past he's been eager to share his enthusiasm of nuclear attacks against Russian enemies.

He ended his ominous Telegram message today with: "And then that would be it. The end of the ball game.

"There will be only to collect money for a new monument in the neighbourhood of Ground Zero. At best."

Ground Zero refers to the site of the twin towers which collapsed after planes crashed into them during the attacks.

Medvedev's remarks today are a far cry from Russia's initial response after the September 11 terror attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Putin was the first foreign leader to express his condolences to then President George W. Bush following the attacks which killed 2,996 civilians.

Yet Russia has continued to distance itself from diplomacy with the west in the years following 2001 – with Medvedev helping to spearhead the effort.

In July, he threatened that World War 3 was getting closer as NATO leaders signed a new security package for Ukraine.

Medvedev told an audience in Moscow that the West was to blame for taking the world to the brink of Armageddon.

Earlier this year, he also threatened to unleash nuclear war on the collective West if Russia is defeated in Ukraine.

He posted on Telegram: "The defeat of a nuclear power in a conventional war may trigger a nuclear war.

"Nuclear powers have never lost major conflicts on which their fate depends.
