'Proxy War' between US, Russia Can Potentially Lead to Third World War, Trump Says

Former US president Donald Trump believes that the "proxy war" between the United States and Russia, which was triggered in part by the US establishment’s accusations alleging that the business and political figure was linked to Moscow, could lead to World War III.

"Instead of having a better relationship with Russia as I worked to build, we now have a proxy war with Russia, fueled in part by the lingering fumes of Russiagate delirium," he added. "Ukraine has been utterly devastated. Untold numbers of people have been killed. And we could very well end up in World War III," Trump said in an article written for prominent US publication Newsweek.
