Hazin explained whether the West would go to war with Russia.

Currently, the possibility of a Third World War breaking out is quite low.

Economist Mikhail Hazin expressed this view in a program on "Tsar's City" TV station, according to the agency report.

He said that the main reason why a new global military conflict is not expected to break out is the general recession of the world economy. The situation in the United States, especially in Europe, does not allow them to launch a large-scale military operation.

Hazin noted that wars usually occur at the end of a crisis, after passing through an economic trough. For example, World War I broke out at the end of the economic recession of 1907-1908. The outbreak of World War II was exactly the same.

"That's why a war definitely won't happen now. Then who will fight whom afterward? Who is ready, and who truly has an army? We see that the Pentagon directly stated: go to war with related countries, Russia? No no no, absolutely not. And the EU doesn't have any real army in any case." The expert explained.
