MOSCOW, 3 Feb-RIA Novosti. First Deputy head of the International Committee of the Federation Council Vladimir Dzhabarov expressed bewilderment at the statement of the American Admiral Charles Richards about the possibility of a nuclear war with Russia and noted that a professional military "in a terrible dream" is afraid to imagine such a development of the situation.
Earlier it was reported that the head of the US Strategic Command, Admiral Charles Richards, in an article for the February issue of the official publication of the United States Naval Institute, said that there is a real possibility of a regional conflict with Russia or China developing into a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons.
He stressed that the current military, as a rule, do not like to talk about this topic, "they are terribly afraid that this may come."
Statements about the "Russian threat" are periodically heard from the lips of Western politicians. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that Russia will never attack any of the NATO countries. The Russian Federation claimed that the West simply uses the occasion to place more equipment and battalions near the Russian borders. Moscow has repeatedly expressed concern about the build-up of the alliance's forces in Europe.
