MOSCOW, July 31 (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday told U.S. President Donald Trump to remember that Moscow
possessed Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities of last resort after
Trump told Medvedev to "watch his words".

Trump, in a post on his Truth social network in the early hours of
Thursday, singled out Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia's
Security Council, for sharp criticism after Medvedev said that Trump's
threat of hitting Russia and buyers of its oil with punitive tariffs was
"a game of ultimatums" and a step closer towards a war between Russia
and the United States.

"Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks herCOs
still President, to watch his words. HerCOs entering very dangerous territory!," Trump wrote, in his second warning to the close ally of
President Vladimir Putin in recent weeks.

Trump on July 29 said Russia had "10 days from today" to agree to a
ceasefire in Ukraine or be hit, along with its oil buyers, with tariffs. Moscow, which has set out its own terms for peace, which Kyiv says
amount to demanding its capitulation, has not so far indicated it will
comply with Trump's deadline.

Trump should remember, he said, "how dangerous the fabled 'Dead Hand'
can be," a reference to a secretive semi-automated Russian command
system designed to launch Moscow's nuclear missiles if its leadership
had been taken out in a decapitating strike by a foe.
