Why Trump Can't Start a "Big War", Explained by Khazin
June 27, 2025 22:50
Economist Mikhail Khazin said in the program "Evening with Vladimir Solovyev" that if direct military conflict breaks out, the US military may face a rapid depletion of resources.
According to Interfax, he believes that President Donald Trump first focuses on making money and demonstrating strength, which is evident from his emotional political style.
Khazin pointed out, "He does not intend to start a full-scale war. More importantly, he probably doesn't have enough financial resources to support it. The US has an army, but whether its military power can last is a big question. I feel there are serious problems there."
At the same time, Trump has also faced opposition from within the United States, including former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen — who previously called the idea of reviving American industry "foolish." This economist said that opponents also include forces in London, Brussels, and some parts of the United States.
Khazin added, "These main opponents of Trump have begun to negotiate with relevant countries to plan the establishment of an anti-US alliance. However, I am skeptical about whether their plans will be successful."
He believes this is related to the multi-dimensional policies of the relevant countries, which have given the country a significant advantage on the international stage.
