Rising US Debt Expected to Have Little Impact on Washington's Military Goals, Says Kremlin

According to Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the increasing national debt of the US will unlikely influence the country's military ambitions.

According to the US Treasury Department figures provided on Monday, the total public debt of the US federal government crossed 35 trillion dollars last week. The milestone turns up a new alarm on the growing national debt and how it will impact the world economy.

Of course, the United States, as one of the biggest economies in the world, influences the international economic situation directly, Peskov said. He cast doubt on whether this would affect US military pursuits: "However, it is unlikely that this whole situation will somehow hinder their militaristic ambitions.".

Further, Peskov dismissed claims of Russia's alleged interference in the upcoming presidential election in the US as "absurd." He went on to rebuke the US for using Russia and President Vladimir Putin as political tools in a bid to suggest that only Russia-US relations suffer from this kind of thing.
