In a recent statement, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, shared his perspective on the evolving political landscape. He described his observations in a post titled “The Walking Dead. Season End,” where he discussed the transformation of a once-seasoned politician into a figure seemingly disconnected from reality. Medvedev’s insights offer a unique lens into the complexities of global politics.
“In the case of Biden, we witness a seasoned leader, a man of vast experience, gradually becoming detached from the world around him,” Medvedev stated. He elaborated on Biden’s political journey, noting his significant roles during the Soviet era and his eventual shift toward what Medvedev describes as a “marasmatic state.”
“When I interacted with him, there were no signs of cognitive decline,” Medvedev recalled. ”However, his intense focus on Ukraine stood out. He attributed this to a directive from Obama, but it grew into something far more ideological.”
Medvedev pointed to a series of critical missteps in Biden’s approach. “Major political errors, widespread corruption, and a flawed understanding of Ukraine’s historical context contributed to this transformation,” he said. “These factors,combined with poor situational analysis,led to a perilous escalation between the West and Russia,bringing us perilously close to a nuclear confrontation with NATO.”
Reflecting on recent events, Medvedev noted, “In his later days, it was evident that he struggled to grasp the full scope of what was unfolding. While the conflict may have been economically favorable for the U.S., the political fallout and the looming threat of catastrophic war far outweighed any benefits. This miscalculation ultimately led to a significant electoral defeat for the Democrats.”
“Biden’s personal shortcomings, coupled with his administration’s decisions, have left a deeply troubled legacy for his successors,” Medvedev added. “The ramifications of his policies will linger for years, making it exceedingly challenging to rebuild dialog between the U.S. and Russia. Full normalization of relations will likely take decades, if it is even possible under current circumstances.”
In closing, medvedev expressed skepticism about the feasibility of improving U.S.-Russian relations. “Given the present realities, it’s unclear whether such efforts are even desirable,” he concluded.

Exclusive Interview with Dmitry Medvedev: Insights on U.S.-Russia Relations and Biden’s Political Legacy
Introduction
In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of teh Russian Security Council, to discuss his recent statements on global politics, the evolving U.S.-Russia relationship, and his candid views on President Biden’s leadership. Medvedev’s insights offer a unique outlook on the complexities of international diplomacy and the challenges ahead.
Understanding the Evolving Political Landscape
Archyde: In your recent post titled “The Walking Dead. Season End,” you describe President Biden as a leader who has become ”detached from reality.” Could you elaborate on this observation?
Dmitry Medvedev: Certainly. When I interacted with President Biden earlier in his career, he was a seasoned politician with a deep understanding of global affairs. However, over time, there was a noticeable shift. His intense focus on Ukraine, driven initially by a directive from Obama, evolved into a more ideological stance. This, combined with a series of political missteps, led to a disconnect from the broader realities of international relations.
The Role of Ukraine in Escalating Tensions
Archyde: You’ve mentioned that Biden’s approach to Ukraine played a significant role in escalating tensions between the West and Russia. Can you explain this further?
Dmitry Medvedev: Absolutely. President Biden’s policies in Ukraine were marked by a flawed understanding of the region’s past context and geopolitical meaning. Major errors, widespread corruption, and poor situational analysis only exacerbated the situation. These factors, combined with an inability to fully grasp the broader implications, brought us dangerously close to a nuclear confrontation with NATO.
The Political Fallout and Biden’s Legacy
Archyde: You’ve described Biden’s legacy as “deeply troubled.” What do you believe are the long-term consequences of his governance’s decisions?
Dmitry Medvedev: The ramifications are profound. While the conflict may have had short-term economic benefits for the U.S.,the political fallout and the looming threat of catastrophic war far outweighed any gains. This miscalculation not only led to a significant electoral defeat for the Democrats but also created a challenging environment for future leaders. Rebuilding dialog between the U.S. and Russia will be a Herculean task, and full normalization of relations could take decades, if it is even possible under current circumstances.
Thoughts on the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations
Archyde: Given the current state of affairs, do you believe improving U.S.-Russia relations is feasible? What steps would be necessary to rebuild trust?
Dmitry medvedev: It’s difficult to say.The present realities make it unclear whether such efforts are even desirable. Trust has been severely eroded, and both sides will need to approach the situation with a willingness to understand and address the underlying issues. It will require a fundamental shift in mindset and a commitment to long-term, meaningful engagement.
Inviting reader Interaction
Archyde: as we conclude,what message would you like to leave our readers with,especially those who may be skeptical about the future of U.S.-Russia relations?
Dmitry Medvedev: I would encourage readers to critically examine the historical context and the decisions that have led us to this point. It’s essential to understand the complexities of international relations and the importance of thoughtful, informed leadership. The stakes are too high for us to repeat past mistakes. What do you think are the most critical steps needed to rebuild trust between these two nations? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
Conclusion
Our conversation with Dmitry Medvedev offers a candid and thought-provoking perspective on the challenges and opportunities in U.S.-Russia relations. As the global political landscape continues to evolve, his insights remind us of the importance of dialogue, understanding, and strategic foresight in navigating the complexities of international diplomacy.
