 Putin ally says U.S. Civil War will be good for world. An ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested during a recent broadcast that a new civil war in the United States would be good for the world, according to Newsweek. Julia Davis, founder of the Russian media monitor watchdog group, shared a clip to ex from a recent state-run media broadcast in Russia. In the clip, Sergey Markov, a notably pro-Putin political scientist and former advisor to the Russian leader, suggested that the outbreak of a civil war in the U.S. would also be beneficial to Russia and would result in the end of its conflict with Ukraine. I think this means there will be a civil war in America. Markov said, when suggesting that what Russia's symbol for the new year, the wood dragon, had in store for them. I think it's logical. Yes, the dragon will get them. That's good for the world. When host Evgeny Popov interjected, suggesting that Russia does not wish war on anyone, even Americans, Markov doubled down. No, we do wish it. Markov continued. If something really starts in America, civil war in Ukraine will stop one week later. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valery Zalozny will race all the way over here. They would go to mediators and say, let's immediately put an end to all this, because this regime is a typical junta, I would say, a colonial junta. We wish ourselves peace in the new year and for those living in Ukraine to get rid of this colonial junta America forced upon them. And insinuations about a second American civil war have become increasingly more common as the political divides in the US have grown starker and more polarised. Throughout the summer, numerous Republicans suggested that a civil war would break out over the multiple criminal indictment leveled against former President Donald Trump.
