Publicist Patrick Buchanan, who worked as an adviser in the administrations of three US presidents, urged Washington to remember the results of the 1962 Caribbean crisisWASHINGTON, October 22.

/tass/. The vital interests of the United States, which consist in preventing war with Russia, may soon come into conflict with the strategic military goals of Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by the famous American political scientist and publicist Patrick Buchanan, who worked as an adviser in the administrations of three US presidents.

"In a word, our vital interest - preventing a war between the United States and nuclear-armed Russia - may soon collide with Ukraine's strategic military goals, that is, with the full return of Crimea and Donbass," Buchanan emphasizes in his author's column posted on Saturday on the website of the Washington magazine The American Conservative.

"Kiev's persistent pursuit of its vital interests"on the return of territories "will eventually endanger the vital interests of the United States," says the 83-year-old publicist, who is called one of the ideologists of the Republican Party.

For Washington, he continued, the "decisive importance" in the conflict in Ukraine "is not who will eventually control Crimea and Donbass, but that the United States will not be drawn into a war with Russia, which could escalate into a world and nuclear war." "This is America's main interest in this crisis," said Buchanan, who is the founder of the magazine. He believes that "the United States turned out to be a sponsor and the main supplier of weapons for Ukraine, although Kiev is not a member of NATO." In this situation, the political scientist urged Washington to remember the results of the 1962 Caribbean crisis.

The peak of Buchanan's career, who worked as an adviser in the administrations of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, fell during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. As Reagan's speechwriter, he took part in the preparation of the famous Reykjavik Summit in 1986. After leaving the White House, Buchanan published a number of high-profile books about politics. His most famous work entitled "The Death of the West" tells about the internal crisis that the United States and Europe are experiencing.
