Donald Trump Issued Chilling ‘You’ll Be The Last US President’ Warning By Russian Economist
A Russian economist has issued a stark warning to Donald Trump, suggesting the former president could become “the last US president” if he escalates tensions with Moscow. Nikolay Mezhevich, speaking in what appears to reflect Kremlin thinking, responded to Trump’s threats of tougher sanctions against Russia within a 50-day deadline regarding Ukraine.
During a BBC interview, Trump expressed disappointment with Russia’s actions, prompting Mezhevich to dismiss the sanctions threat as a bluff. The Russian analyst argued that Trump’s ultimatum essentially demands “capitulation” from Moscow rather than serious negotiation.
Mezhevich questioned what new leverage Trump could possibly wield, noting existing sanctions are already in place. He chillingly suggested any US military action against Moscow would trigger nuclear retaliation, warning such escalation could end American presidential leadership permanently.
The economist implied Trump understands Russia represents a fundamentally different challenge than Middle Eastern conflicts like Syria or Yemen. What worked in those regions, he cautioned, wouldn’t necessarily apply to US-Russia relations.
Rather than publicly criticizing Trump, Mezhevich said Russia would respond through diplomatic channels. He expressed confidence that Trump comprehends the unique dynamics of dealing with a nuclear-armed superpower like Russia.
The exchange highlights growing tensions between Trump and Putin, despite their previously cordial relationship. Trump’s harder line on Ukraine marks a significant shift from his earlier Russia-friendly stance.
As the war in Ukraine continues, this war of words raises the stakes for potential US-Russia relations under a possible second Trump administration, with nuclear implications looming in the background of diplomatic posturing.
