The United States believes that it must not only have the ability to repel an attack and defeat potential aggressors, but also stop any perceived foe it believes intends to attack the United States. This is how the Pentagon, in a statement, explained why the US has the right to launch a preemptive nuclear strike. This danger should not be exaggerated.

Starting on August 23, the US will suspend the issuance of non-immigrant visas in Russia, and the terms for issuing immigrant visas will be changed. Russia considers Washington's actions to be another step aimed at worsening relations with Russia. Valdai Club expert Pavel Zolotaryov believes that this is far from the end. "It is difficult to predict when we will reach the lowest point and improvements would begin. For now, we need to consider this as a process that has not yet ended," he said in an interview with valdaiclub.com.
