The Russian embassy in the US has warned that Washingtons behavior on the world stage risks direct conflict between the nuclear states.
This comes in the wake of the US testing a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile amid escalating tensions with Moscow over the Ukraine war.
Washington had postponed the launch twice due to tensions with China over House Speaker Nancy Pelosis visit to Taiwan in a bid to avoid escalating tensions with China.
Washington is seemingly pushing the envelope with its latest military action and this could lead to unpredictable results.
