There is a prospect of nuclear war, and it is much worse than climate changes, which humanity watches a very short time. This idea was expressed by the deputy chairman of the Security Council, ex-president of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, speaking on Tuesday to the participants of the Knowledge marathon, Russian media reports.
He noted that he would say a “seditious thing.” “Enough to suffer because the temperature has increased by one degree in such and such a year or for such and such a period. Humanity is still watching this for a very short time. You really are worried about the climate to such an extent? In my opinion, this is nothing in Comparison with the prospect of being in the epicenter of an explosion with a temperature of 5 thousand kelvins, a shock wave of 350 m per second and a pressure of 3 thousand kg per sq. M, with penetrating radiation, that is, ionizing radiation and electromagnetic impulse. Such a prospect is today ? Alas, yes. And it grows every day for well -known reasons, ”the politician believes.
Medvedev is convinced that the New World War is likely, but not inevitable. “The world is sick and, quite likely, it is on the verge of a new world war. Is it inevitable? No, is not,” the ex -head of the Russian state believes.
According to Medvedev, Russia was drawn into the war, “encountering two parts of a single people.”
The politician recalled that the wars managed to avoid the last 30 years, but “it still came.” “Although we were not called her. We were imposed on a war, which is essentially a consequence of the collapse of the USSR – on the one hand. And on the other hand, a hybrid form of the civil war, as a result of which different parts of a single people were pushed,” Medvedev stated.
