“It is quite obvious that the encirclement of Russia, including through nuclear weapons, is driving the country into a corner. The danger of a regional conflict developing into a nuclear war is very high, ”the expert emphasized.
According to Black, a situation similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis is currently being observed in the world, only now the West is deploying advanced weapons on the ground, in the sea and in the air near the Russian borders.

Among these, he named the coronavirus pandemic, international terrorism and drug trafficking, as well as the situation in Afghanistan.
