Warning that Russia-US relations will "dangerously escalate" to nuclear war
Former US Secretary of State George Schulz, former Secretary of Defense William Perry and former Senator Samuel Nunn in a joint article for the Wall Street Journal called on US President Donald Trump to review US policy towards Russia.
According to politicians, relations between Russia and the United States are at a standstill, and this could lead to a dangerous confrontation and the use of nuclear weapons. They believe that the level of the imminent threat exceeds the danger that threatened the world during the Cold War.
Experts assert that the United States needs a new approach to relations with Russia, because the old policy is outdated and the US Congress should play a major role in this process.
Politicians are proposing the creation of a bipartisan group in Congress that would simultaneously be responsible for strengthening NATO and resuming dialogue with Russia. According to them, such an approach helped improve relations with the Soviet Union and reduce tensions in the 1980s, and then ultimately led to the end of the Cold War.
In addition, politicians called on Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to issue a joint statement condemning nuclear weapons and nuclear war.
