Following wave after wave of sanctions threats and impositions, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev predicted this week that there would be a number of global consequences.
Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, wrote on Telegram that the sanctions could be the spur to a new world order which Moscow has previously said it would welcome.
“As a result [of sanctions], a new security architecture will be created,” he said.

In a post titled, “What will happen next, or the world after anti-Russian sanctions (not a forecast at all)“, Medvedev outlined in 10 bullet points how supply chains could collapse, inflation could spike and food and financial crises would ensue.
