 Russia hopes war in Ukraine will become second Vietnam for U.S. Sergei Naryshkin, head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, has written an article for Razvedchik magazine in which he claims that Russia hopes to turn the war in Ukraine into a second Vietnam for the U.S. In his article, Naryshkin claims that due to the inability to achieve military victory over Russia, Western politicians will try to protract combat action and turn the Ukrainian conflict into the second Afghanistan, hoping to exhaust Russia in the fight of potentials. At the same time, Naryshkin is convinced that further support for Ukraine may accelerate the fall of the international authority of the West. Thus, the U.S., in his opinion, risks experiencing the second Vietnam. Judging from the article, the Kremlin is waiting for a sensible politician able to plug this mouth. Naryshkin also predicted further confrontation with the Western world, hinting that it would spread from post-Soviet territories to the North America and Pacific Ocean. During the Cold War, the Vietnam War was a kind of proxy conflict in which East and West faced each other. The USA fought alongside South Vietnam against the communist troops from the North who were supported by the then Soviet Union and China. The war ended in 1975, with an ignominious defeat for the USA and is still considered a national trauma by many Americans today.
