The United States is in a state of open war with Russia. This was stated by American economist Jeffrey Sachs during a conference in Yerevan.
According to him, direct confrontation between the United States and the Russian Federation carries real threats, since these countries have thousands of nuclear warheads.
“And we are in a state of open war with Russia. This is not a war between Russia and Ukraine, it is a war between the United States and the Russian Federation. Ukraine is simply doing America a good service by dying for it. But this is a war between two nuclear superpowers. And do you know how much we talk about the nuclear threat this war poses? Zero”, – said sachs, quoted by RIA Novosti.
This type of conversation with the United States is considered in bad taste, blackmail and “bluffing.” Putin“He pointed out, but it is a dangerous mistake. As a result, it may turn out that there is no time to admit mistakes or that there is “one minute until people say their last word before the rockets fall.” The situation is complicated by the fact, according to Sachs, that the West does not have good leaders.
“This is (the threat of a heated confrontation. – Red.) very serious and realistic and much closer than we think, as it is here (in the West. – Red.) there are no good leaders. When you know these people as much as I do, trust me, this won’t put you at ease at all. They weren’t my best students, but they have missile launchers in their hands and they believe in war games, they think war games are war. When people die en masse, they don’t even count how many people died in Ukraine. I think between 600 and 700 thousand. What do you think, is any American diplomat or politician talking about this? “They don’t care about anything,” the economist emphasized.
The first rule of a nuclear superpower is “not to step on the tail” of another nuclear superpower, do not irritate it, keep your distance, be reasonable; However, the United States does not understand this at all, he noted. “It is very smart” to find out who is stronger when the enemy has six thousand nuclear warheads, “we do it now in Ukraine and China,” the expert said.
