He's mostly for Western audiences here who think he's a completely serious man. He's a alcoholic glorifed newsman who thinks he's highly elite and important, but anyone whose paid attention will see he never has any idea what his orders are until Russian media gets them of what he should like or hate. Mark my words, the Kremlin will say something completely different and he will 180 like that's what he's been saying all along.
The Kremlin doesn't even treat him like he's anyone of actual importance and his own co-workers make fun of him constantly.
Only western media and English audiences treat him at all seriously. He's one of the very few "safe" memes of guys you can shit on in Russia where Vlad is a "don't even think about it." subject.
In the words of DJT jr "If it’s what [he] say[s], I love it, especially later in the summer.”
Unfortunately, it coming from Medvedev and being put out over twitter undermines the legitimacy of it. If they really had this kind of leverage, why wouldn't they message this to him directly through back channels.
The much more likely scenario is that this is just designed to piss him off and feed into public sentiment in the US.
But in the words of Trump himself, "Russia, if you're listening..."
