East and West

Putin quotes Einstein: ‘WW3 would be the end of civilization’ (Video)

Russian President Vladimir Putin held his annual televised question-and-answer session, with over two million questions submitted from Russian citizens.
This year’s event is Putin’s 16th Q&A.
One question Putin received referenced the new cold war between East and West, and whether this could lead to a hot World War 3.
Putin noted that such a scenario would be “an end of civilization” event, and awareness of this should be enough to restrain international powers from engaging in global conflict.
