MOSCOW, 10 Dec. Russia is not going to put up with the sole power of the United States and is challenging its monopoly, retired US Army Colonel Douglas MacGregor said on the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
Washington, the officer noted, began to abuse its influence after the end of the Cold War .
«We (the United States — Ed.) got away with it for quite some time. And, in my opinion, Russia is now drawing a red line and saying:» We will not allow you to bully us anymore, «McGregor said.< br>
He noted that at present the world is not in a state of global conflict.However, if the United States sends «a signal to the Russians that we are going to do something with nuclear weapons, then we will actually ask for Armageddon,» the colonel summed up. .
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that NATO had returned to the Cold War priorities: they want to keep the Russians outside of Europe, and the Americans in Europe, and the entire European Union is now under US control
