In 2023, France will declare war on Germany after annexing the Baltic states and Poland, which will have seized, together with Hungary, half of Ukraine. At the same time, Texas and California will secede from the US after a civil war to join Mexico, while the UK will rejoin the European Union which will immediately disintegrate. Also disintegration of the euro and the dollar.
On New Year’s Eve, everyone makes predictions
Many come up with futuristic hypotheses, as if they were competing to identify the craziest, and also the most absurd.
Here is our humble contribution.
What can happen in 2023:

No, these are not the predictions of a Nostradamus under vodka, but those made on Tuesday by Dmitry Medvedev, deputy president of the Russian Security Council and former president of the country, on Twitter.

A West at war with itself
To this burning West, for good measure, he adds the bankruptcy of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the flight to Asia of the vast majority of capital placed on Western stock exchanges, as well as a gas price of 5,000 dollars per 1,000 m3 (3, 5 times the current level). Not to mention the election of Elon Musk (second in the world, owner of Tesla and Twitter) as President of the United States, even if the latter is only expected for the following year. Dmitry Medvedev concludes his prophecies with best wishes for 2023 to “our Anglo-Saxon friends and their gleefully squealing pigs”…
These analyzes of a West displaced in 2023 by the unleashing of civil wars, annexations and bankruptcies do not officially commit the Kremlin, and obviously do not reflect the views of all Russian leaders. But a good part of them, no doubt, saw the number of statements on Russian television.
Representative provocations
Dmitri Medvedev is anything but an eccentric given a late-career sinecure. Once considered, naively, the leader of the pro-Western liberals, the one who for a year has been multiplying hawkish statements (he defined the Ukrainians as degenerates and threatened Western countries with nuclear hell), he is among the five or six leaders of the regime, together with the main ministers (defence, foreign affairs) and siloviki (heads of the so-called force structures, FSB, GRU -military intelligence- and SVR -external intelligence).
This very faithful and close collaborator of Vladimir Putin since the beginning of his career, in St. Petersburg, almost thirty years ago, had supported him in 2008 to help him circumvent the Constitution which prohibited two consecutive presidential terms. Dmitry Medvedev was elected to the presidency to immediately appoint his mentor Prime Minister, a post in which Vladimir Putin continued to be the most powerful man in the country, before the latter returned the courtesy after his own election to the presidency in 2012 .
Above all, Dmitry Medvedev was appointed number two in the Security Council chaired by Vladimir Putin in January 2020. A body whose strategic character is measured by the fact that it includes, among its thirteen permanent members, also the head of the security services (FSB), of foreign intelligence (SVR), the Prime Minister as well as those of Defence, of the Interior and Foreign Affairs, the presidents of the Senate and the National Assembly and the head of the presidential administration.
Its secretary, Nikolai Patrushev, is Vladimir Putin’s successor at the helm of the FSB, and says he is convinced that the secret goal of Western countries is to liquidate all the others and reduce the world’s population to a billion people. Dmitry Medvedev was also appointed a few days ago to head, together with Vladimir Putin, a committee tasked with overseeing the military industry and announced the development of Russian weapons of unprecedented power, which could reduce the West to ashes. .
Moscow still wants Kiev to surrender
Alongside Dmitri Medvedev’s words, the indefatigable Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov repeated that peace would return only when Ukraine had capitulated and officially renounced the four regions annexed by Moscow in September (Zaporizhia, Kherson, Lugansk, Donetsk). This annexation was not recognized by any country in the world, except North Korea, and was rejected by a motion adopted by the United Nations general assembly with a record score, with 143 of the 193 member countries voting. UN.
In this interview with the Russian state news agency Tass, Sergei Lavrov recalled that the Kremlin’s goal was the “denazification” and demilitarization of Ukraine. Two objectives proposed to justify the invasion of the country on February 24, but since then kept silent. The Kremlin has recently been content to justify its military intervention with the need to protect the populations of Donbass. kyiv, for his part, has proposed an international summit dedicated to peace, as well as negotiations with Moscow… on the withdrawal of its troops from all occupied Ukrainian territories and its acceptance of an international tribunal for its war crimes.
