Analyst Geller urged the United States to be prepared for a "possible nuclear strike" by Russia and China

According to her, the US needs to modernize its containment strategy in order to be ready for the "threat."

“In my opinion, we are not talking about repelling a Russian nuclear strike and hitting back.

We will need to repel the blow, respond to Russia, and at the same time maintain the ability to contain China, ”RIA Novosti reports her words during a panel discussion as part of the 13th annual containment symposium that started in Nebraska.

Geller also noted that the inaction of the US authorities in the policy of deterring the nuclear threat could lead to undermining international stability in this area.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia is not playing with the topic of nuclear war.

He noted that the inadmissibility of nuclear war is Russia's principled position.
