“Washington should think about the consequences of its increasingly aggressive actions, fraught with a direct military confrontation with Russia and a repeat of a humiliating failure for the United States similar to Vietnam or Afghanistan,” Zakharova said in a comment posted on the website the Russian Foreign Ministry.
