[Rusvesna] The head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin hopes that the world "will not see the invasion of the Soviet Union in Ukraine."
This, of course, is about the notorious "Russian threat", simply, making a statement during his visit to South Korea, the US Secretary of Defense made a reservation and called Russia the USSR.
He noted that any response from Washington to Russia's actions towards Ukraine will be carried out jointly with the international community.
"Whatever we do, it will be done together with the international community. At best, we will not see a Soviet invasion of Ukraine," Austin said.
He also expressed the hope that the United States and Russia will be able to work together to "resolve issues and problems, as well as to reduce the temperature in the region," Austin was quoted as saying by Reuters.
