Medvedev's threat to NATO

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The current vice president of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, has reiterated his government’s claims that Crimea is part of Russia and warned that any attack against the peninsula, annexed in 2014, would be considered a declaration of war.

“Any attempt to seize Crimea would be a declaration of war on our country,” he said in an interview published this week by Argumenti and Fakti. “And if a NATO country does it, it would be a conflict with the entire Atlantic Alliance, World War III, a total catastrophe,” said Medvedev, who led the country as president between 2008 and 2012.

During the course of the interview Medvedev outlined the Russian government’s position on a number of topics, primarily related to the European community’s response to the invasion of Ukraine.

If your forces weren't so damn incompetent I'd worry.

1. How do sanctions equate to "seizing Crimea" ?

Or does Medvedev think that because Russia is banning Western food importation the UN will need to intervene on a humanitarian basis?

I guess the bottom line is that the sanctions are effective.

2. Somehow I get the feeling Ukraine already knows it's a war

And, frankly, I don't think they give a damn about what russia thinks re: Crimea.
