In case anyone harbored any doubts, Moscow’s top military leader has reaffirmed that Russia is engaged in a permanent war with the United States.
In a recent speech at Moscow’s Academy of Military Science, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian general staff, issued a three-pronged warning to the United States. He broadened Moscow’s definition of war, threatened the nuclear option and invented a U.S.-sponsored “fifth column†that allegedly plans to destabilize Russia.
Gerasimov followed in Soviet footsteps by describing America as Russia's main enemy and declared that there are no essential differences between open war and an opaque peace.
