Putin’s top ally claims 80-year-old Joe Biden has “progressive dementia” and could start World War 3 “due to distraction” in latest online tirade
- Medvedev is Vladimir Putin’s deputy on the powerful Kremlin security council
- The Russian has become known for his extensive rants on the Telegram channel.
The Kremlin mocked Joe Biden’s expected bid for a second term as president, claiming that “a third world war could start due to distraction.”
Vladimir Putin’s close ally Dmitry Medvedev posted on Telegram: “Of course, progressive dementia is not an obstacle to being re-elected President of the United States.”
Medvedev, 57, is the former Russian president and prime minister, and is now Putin’s 70-year-old deputy on the powerful Kremlin security council.
The former Russian prime minister became known for his rants on his Telegram channel, having previously threatened nuclear war via the messaging app.
This isn’t the first time the Russian has punched the President of the United States, either. Medvedev previously called Biden a “weird grandfather with dementia.”

“Old Biden seems to be looking for a second term,” Medvedev said on Telegram.
‘What was noted in the first:
‘1. He confuses names, dates and gets lost in his own office.
‘2. He keeps secret documents in the garage of his personal house.
‘3. Spent over $100 billion in a collapsing country [Ukraine] unknown to ordinary Americans, but…
‘4. Dump all of America’s economic problems onto the machinations of Russia
‘5. You can start a World War III due to the distraction.
Medvedev, 57, was president from 2008 until 2012, when the Russian constitution restricted Putin from running for office. Later, he vacated the position for his predecessor to return after new laws were implemented.
The former president could return to office if Putin is forced to resign because of the war in Ukraine or health problems.

Putin has tasked Medvedev with increasing the supply of missiles and tanks to the front line.
At a tank plant in Omsk on Thursday, he responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s demands for weapons from the West.
‘[In London] our enemy asked for planes, missiles and tanks while he was abroad,” Medvedev said.
‘What should we do in response? Naturally, to increase the production of various types of ammunition and military equipment, including modern tanks.
We are talking about the manufacture and modernization of thousands of tanks.
This is not the first time Medvedev has hit Biden, trying to claim he has dementia.
On his Telegram channel in July last year, the former president wrote: “Russia cannot be held responsible for the fact that the Americans elected a strange grandfather with dementia as president.”
