The head of the British Defense Ministry, Michael Fallon, told the House of Commons that there would be no war between NATO and Russia in 2017, reports RIA News post The Independent.

Fallon reassured: there will be no war between NATO and Russia next year




Fallon expressed this opinion at a hearing on the defense committee, after one of his members referred to the words of General Shirreff, who predicted a military conflict between the forces of the alliance and the Russian Federation next year (this is a book about the general called 2017 year. War with Russia. Urgent warning from high-ranking military commanders ").

“Well, there are many people who write books and try to sell them, and specifically this book is very good. However, I do not agree that war with Russia is possible next year. I think this is too exaggerated judgment ",
said fallon.

According to him, “in the past and the year before last Russia was much more aggressive than now.”

However, the Minister of Defense did not rule out the possibility of military conflict between the parties in subsequent years.

      Russia will never start a war first, and NATO is still preparing for a war with Russia, but if the instinct for self-preservation ceases to function with the NATO leadership, then they can start a suicide war for them.

      18+ Soldier of the elite US unit about the Russians.
      =========================================
      An American experienced soldier during a banquet openly told the author about the Russians and why they are so afraid in the United States.
      It so happened that I happened to participate in the same project with the real Americans. Good guys, pros. For six months, while the project was ongoing, we managed to make friends. As expected, the successful completion of the project ends with a booze. And now our banquet is in full swing, I caught my tongue with a guy with whom they were sharing the same topic. Of course, we shared who is cooler, the first satellite, the lunar program, airplanes, weapons, etc.
      And I asked my expected question:
      - Tell me, American, why are you so afraid of us, you have been living in Russia for six months, you have seen everything yourself, aren’t there any bears on the street and nobody drives a tank?
      - ABOUT! I will explain it! This was explained to us by the sergeant instructor, when I served in the US National Guard, this instructor went through many hot spots, he went to the hospital twice and twice because of the Russians. He told us all the time that Russia was the only and most terrible enemy. The first time it was in 1991, in Afghanistan it was the first business trip, young, not yet fired, he helped civilians when the Russians decided to destroy the mountain village.
      - Wait! I interrupted. We ALREADY were not in the 87th in Afghanistan.
      - We, too, were NOT yet in the 91st in Afghanistan, but I don’t see the point in believing him. Listen up
      And I listened, in front of me was not a peaceful young engineer, but an American veteran.
      “I provided security, the Russians were no longer in Afghanistan, the locals started fighting with each other, our task was to organize a redeployment to the area of ​​the friendly partisan detachment we controlled, everything went according to plan, but two Russian helicopters appeared in the sky, why and why I didn’t I know. Having made a U-turn, they were rebuilt and began to enter our positions. A volley of stingers, the Russians left behind the ridge. I managed to take a position behind a heavy machine gun, I waited for Russian cars to appear from behind the ridge, and a good line will benefit them. And the Russian helicopter did not keep itself waiting, it appeared, but not from behind the ridge, but from the bottom of the gorge and hovered 30 meters from me. I desperately shook the trigger and saw the bullets from the glass bouncing sparks.
      I saw a Russian pilot smiling.
      I woke up already at the base. Light concussion. Later they told me that the pilot felt sorry for me, among the Russians it was considered a sign of skill, to get rid of the locals and keep the European alive, why I don’t know, and I don’t believe it. Leaving behind enemy lines capable of a surprise is stupid, and Russians are not stupid.
      Then there were a lot of different business trips, the next time I ran into Russians in Kosovo.
      It was a crowd of untrained nonsense, with machine guns from the time of the Vietnam War, armor, probably from the second world left, heavy, uncomfortable, no navigators, NVD, nothing more, only an assault rifle, helmet and armor. They rode their armored personnel carriers wherever they wanted and wherever they wanted, kissed in a hickey with the civilian population, baked bread for them (they brought a bakery with them and baked bread!). They fed everyone with their porridge with canned meat, which they themselves cooked in a special boiler. We were treated with disdain, constantly insulted. It was not an army, but hell knows what. How can you interact with them? All our reports to the Russian leadership were ignored.
      Somehow we grappled seriously, did not divide the route, if it were not for the Russian officer who reassured these monkeys, he could even get to the trunks. These idiots had to be punished. Give in the face and put in place! Without weapons, we only lacked Russian corpses, but that they would understand. They wrote a note in Russian, but with errors, like the Serb wrote that nice guys were going to go at night to give insolent Russian nonsense in the face. We prepared carefully, light bulletproof vests, batons, night vision devices, shockers, no knives and a firearm. We approached them, observing all the rules of disguise and sabotage art. These posts have not even been set up, which means that we will beat the sleeping people, they deserve it!
      When we almost went to the tents, it rang, URA-YAYAYA-AAA! And from all the cracks, these nonsense climbed, for some reason dressed only in striped shirts. I accepted the first. I came to my senses already at the base. Light concussion. Then they told me that the guy felt sorry for me, hit flat, if he really hit, he would blow his head. Me,! An experienced fighter of the elite US Marine Corps, cuts down in 10 seconds a Russian, a skinny scumbag and what ??? And you know what? Gardening tools! Shovel! Yes, it would not have occurred to me to fight with a sapper shovel, and they are taught this, but unofficially, among the Russians it was considered a sign of skill to know the techniques of fighting with a sapper shovel. I later realized that they were waiting for us, but why did they come out in shirts, only in shirts, because it’s natural for a person to protect himself, put on an armor, a helmet. Why only in shirts? And theirs is URA-YAYAA-AAA! I somehow waited for a flight at Detroit airport, there was a Russian family, mom, dad, daughter, also waiting for their plane. Father somewhere bought and brought the girl, three years old, hefty ice cream. She jumped with delight, clapped her hands and do you know what she screamed? Their URYA-YAYAYA-AAA! Three years old, he speaks badly, and already screams URA-YAYAYA-AAA!
      But those guys, with this cry, were going to die for their country. They knew that there would be just a hand-to-hand fight, without weapons, but they were going to die. But they did not go to kill!
      It is easy to kill while sitting in an armored helicopter or holding a spatula honed like a razor in your hands. They did not spare me. Killing for the sake of killing is not for them. But they are ready to die if necessary. And then I realized that Russia is the only and most terrible enemy. ”
      This is how a soldier of the elite US unit told us about you. Let's go for another glass? Russian! But I'm not afraid of you!

        Autumn polygon.
        We practiced the defense of the platoon stronghold at firing practice (naturally empty cartridges).
        So after the paratroopers opposing the defending motorized riflemen ran out of ammunition, with a shout of "halfundra" at us (I was among the defenders), two dozen paratroopers in shirts with knives jumped out, I forgot that I had a machine gun in my hands laughing
        I just looked at this sight, and they were already in our trench.

    What is it - the British and NATO took leave and abandoned the war. Russia was waiting for guests - and they acted rudely, took and deceived. They probably calculated that if they attack Russia now, do not wait for the soldiers to come home. They probably decided to dig graves in advance - then there will be no one, or refugees will have to be asked, they will also ask for money for the grave. NATO is not a reliable adversary, it was very threatened, and we trained our army in vain. Tied at the last moment we were denied this pleasure. We have already several states - they have already written off the card, now we have to paint it again.
