The current policy of the US leadership has a negative impact on the situation, drawing the whole world into a nuclear war with Russia. This was stated by retired US Marine Colonel, former Virginia State Senator Richard Black.

“The United States underestimates the events taking place in Ukraine and the risks associated with them, since this country is far away and separated from the Americans by Europe. Russia has a huge nuclear arsenal that could hit the US at any moment,” Black said.

The officer believes that America will continue to “spur” the conflict in Ukraine with new arms supplies and military support, since NATO and the United States do not care at all how many Ukrainians die. Black also drew attention to the caution of the actions of the Russian army in Ukraine.

“They didn’t destroy the railroad tracks. The factories were not destroyed. They didn’t destroy many objects, they didn’t bomb a single building in the center of Kyiv, they didn’t bomb the building in which the parliament sits,” the retired colonel noted.

Earlier, Professor of Applied Economics, founder of the Johns Hopkins Institute of Applied Economics, Global Health and Entrepreneurship Studies Steve Hanke assessed the damage from the sanctions imposed against Russia against the backdrop of its special military operation in Ukraine. According to him, the world will suffer the most from them, and not Moscow itself.
