OREANDA-NEWS A direct conflict between Russia and the United States, if it arises, will obviously escalate into a global nuclear war, said Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, in a Telegram channel.

"It's expensive to fight America – a direct conflict will obviously escalate into a global nuclear war," Medvedev wrote.
In this regard, he believes that with the end of the West's hybrid war against Russia, the Russian Federation "may well... ignore the USA," especially since friendship with it "is not expected in the next 100 years."
