Dmitry Medvedev shifts threats to Finland: what is the reason for the Kremlin's new rhetoric.

According to inkorr.com: Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump's response to his nuclear threats by redirecting his aggressive rhetoric towards Finland.

Experts believe that Medvedev acts as a 'boogeyman' whom the Kremlin uses to influence uninformed and politically inactive citizens. He supports radical right forces, trying to create panic about the need to bomb European cities.

'After Trump's harsh reaction to his threats, Medvedev temporarily disappeared from the airwaves, seeking a new target for his threats,' the diplomat explained.

Experts consider Finland a convenient target for demonization, due to its NATO membership and the ability to manipulate the history of the war between Russia and Finland in 1939-1940. Moreover, they believe that the Russian Federation is actively negatively impacting Finnish sovereignty and resources in the Baltic Sea, making this country vulnerable to new threats.

Conclusion

Thus, in response to Donald Trump's words, Dmitry Medvedev concentrated his aggression on Finland, using it as a new target for threats. Experts are concerned that this may lead to deteriorating relations between the states and turn Finland into a potential sphere of influence for Russia.
