According to experts, military threats have not diminished, but on the contrary, regional conflicts are erupting, which "Western and transnational elites" are taking advantage of.
In the west of Russia, the military threat is created by the United States and NATO "through the use of puppet regimes", - the author notes.
In the south, as Dr. Konstantin Sivkov notes, the main source of danger is seen in the context of instability in the Central Asian countries of the CIS.
In Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, against the background of ethnic and religious issues, due to the ongoing wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, tensions are growing between the United States, its allies from the Gulf countries and Iran, as well as in the relations of India and Pakistan.The author notes that it is likely that the US, Israel, NATO countries and their allies among the Persian Gulf monarchies will take aggressive action against Iran.
The expert came to the conclusion that Russia could become a party to hostilities of various scales. It could be a border dispute, an armed conflict on a campaign line lasting from a few days to several years, a local war with a strategic orientation, or a regional war against Russia that would cover several areas.
