Report: The US can lose the Russian war, despite significant advantage

141
The Pentagon is lagging behind the modernization process of the armed forces of its main opponents and is not able to sufficiently confront the challenges in Europe and Asia, leads RIA News results of the study of the American center Rand.





According to the report, Russia and China now represent two main challenges to the national interests of the United States. The authors called these two countries "strong rivals," whose capabilities "increased significantly."

The study notes that the Pentagon continues to use the strategy of "two regional wars" in planning, although in the current situation, the military must prepare for "one big war."

This gap is partly due to the fact that US forces today are too large to participate in one main war, and they are also unable to keep pace with the modernization of their rivals, the great powers. The United States does not have sufficient resources to cope with the main challenges in Europe and East Asia, is not sufficiently prepared to maximize the operational benefits of many of its existing units,
write experts.

"According to estimates of this report, the US may, with certain probabilistic assumptions, lose the future war, despite the fact that the power ratio of the United States and China is 2,7 to 1, and the USA and Russia are 6 to 1," the document says.

          May there be no winners in the war neither the USA with Russia, nor the USA with the union of Russia and China.
          And there will be no neutrals. In general, there will be no one. Only radioactive ashes.
          And the statements of American experts "we are behind" - this is only for knocking out the budget. US military clans have the strongest corruption lobby in government.

            Well, yes, radioactive ashes also remained in the war between England and Argentina. Local conflicts are local for that. There will be no global war. Enough sanctions at the EU level will lead to the whole economy of Russia go to dust in a couple of years. Well, of course, not such sanctions as now as with Iran, for example, up to a ban on banking operations

              But the conversation is about a global war. Yes, and a local conflict - in the Caribbean crisis, the United States even fought with Cuba, but it almost ended in the Last War. It would be better not to fight at all. But for this it is necessary to destroy the clans of the military industrial complex in the United States. Putin will not risk such a thing.

              Iran does not. There were nuclear weapons, otherwise he would have responded to these sanctions.
              When you are driven into a corner, there is simply nothing to lose. There will be chaos in your country or chaos can be created on a global scale. If there is such a choice, then the answer is obvious.
              Impossible local conflict between nuclear powers. Say, if you have a gun in your pocket and they beat you, but you understand that they’ll kill you, you won’t use it? It is impossible to negotiate with the gopniks, they need to give back and better than heavier.
              War will still be. Only if they achieve the collapse of our country, then they will deal with it, as with Yugoslavia.

              How do you imagine this, if under the existing sanctions, individual lands and countries of the European Union trade contrary to sanctions? Banks? So they are American in essence. In reality, settlement between countries goes by barter. And barter can be described not only in dollars / euros.
              Let us suppose. We will collapse this New NEP, and where will the European Union go? Trying to rob Poland and the Czech Republic / Moravia?

              Well, our energy carriers will cease to supply Europe in response. What will become of her after that? Germany is definitely full zdets come.

When one of the main players leaves the market, the rest will not be shy and will return everything that they did not take away by artificially raising oil prices and losing them for many years.

                  Liquefied gas is not suitable for synthesis. For it is purified and does not contain what gas is taken for. Europe will break through for heating, in its own way, without liquefied gas. And here is the industry seams. Medicines, plastic, pitch of any complexity from abrasive to powder metallurgy, especially silicon-containing, optocommutation, telephone - these are all synthetics.

            Yes, you stop telling horror stories about ashes and nuclear winter. Take a trip to Hiroshima and see where the ashes are. At the epicenter, the children walk and the roses bloom or the Totsky training ground, there even after the explosion radiation was zilch. And most importantly, those who are supposed to know this, but why the horror stories open is unknown.

            An example from Belarus - they buy hotels, some "standing" enterprises and lands, build the "Big Stone" under the joyful squeals of the leadership of the Republic of Belarus and send thousands of their workers here, in some places the result of work has already pulled.

            Sent to build power lines for nuclear power plants and what is the result? By spring, the part fell, tilted, etc., it was possible to track the movements of the Chinese through garbage heaps in our forests, where all kinds of waste and toxic waste were dumped. We recovered only after the noise of environmentalists. Is the situation different in the Far East? I don’t think so, only control is even less.

        I read the comments of the heated debate between supporters and opponents of the alliance with China, and slightly went crazy. Comrades, why this radicalism? Look at the map and you will see the two largest countries in Eurasia. What does this mean? And this means that in the course of the historical process (which is characterized by the enlargement of state entities) we were the most successful civilizations on the continent. Further development should lead to the fact that we must in one form or another absorb the other formations. Perhaps in the form of absorption, perhaps in the form of all kinds of Unions. But the whole charm is that we and China are developing in different ways. China builds, trades, works. We are at war. These are different mentalities and different historical paths. China entangles counterparties with trade ties, they come to us for protection. We need each other. The Chinese industrial base and our combat potential complement each other and make such an alliance sustainable. P. Indos are trying to pull on both of these functions, and this will destroy them. My opinion: our alliance with China is inevitable. The main thing is that both parties clearly understand their function and honestly implement it.

            Yes, this is a problem. And they know about her, and work on her decision. But, after all, I did not speak about the conquest of land. I talked about "takeover," meaning peaceful accession. As, in fact, most of the land was acquired by Russia. And for this, an excess of the population is not needed. In addition, I did not in vain say that this can happen in the form of the Union.

          Let's look at the map of Russia and see that most of it is not the most successful area for life, well, except maybe with resources.
          China - mountainous or desert areas that are not needed for nothing.

          The Mongols used to have huge territory under their control, did this mean that they were the most successful civilizations on the continent? Persia maybe? Or the British Empire with colonies all over the planet? Does this mean that they were the most successful? Or maybe take a look at Australia - the entire continent is under their control, they must be incredibly successful in this case. Territories are not a sign of success, at least not the only one.

    What kind of psychology do you have, like the Ukrainians - "Yes, we together with Europe, we are not afraid of anyone" And we "We with China will defeat everyone" There is no "Us with China" China is the same opponent as the United States. Even more dangerous since it’s trickier

    --------------------------------------
    It’s not a matter of love or dislike for the Russians. Do not forget that Russia has a kleptocratic-oligarchic dictatorship, and China seems to be positioning itself as a socialist state. Even Mao regarded Khrushchev and Brezhnev as revisionists with contempt, and China is very contemptuous of today's degenerates from the CPSU who are changing the country to cut paper. Well, maybe there is reverence for Putin, but not to Putin's entourage.

    The Pentagon lags behind the process of modernizing the armed forces of its main opponents and is not able to adequately resist the challenges in Europe and Asia, RIA Novosti reports the results of a study by the American center Rand.

    It’s interesting how much the Pentagon unfastened this Rand Center, so that it would draw up a report with which it’s not a shame to go to Congress to solicit additional attendants for the army))

    But how did such a powerful USA suffer a complete defeat in Vietnam? And when did they fight a more or less worthy rival? In any conflict, a grouping was created that was 5-6 times superior to the enemy’s armed forces, therefore I am not surprised at the conclusions of experts. Do you think the US will start a war against the DPRK? I think not, because the “cool” Trump will not want to risk his image so much, there will be a lot of aggressive statements, but all the same the whole world will be convinced that Kim sent a hegemon and he can’t do anything. What is Russia here? It is needed only to inflate the military budget, to please the US military-industrial complex.

    “Well, our energy carriers will cease to supply Europe in response. What will become of it after that?” ////

    Nothing will be. They will pay 20-30% more for liquefied gas. and all things. They have money. Gas in the global market in bulk.

    Do not smack nonsense, dear! There is not so much free gas on the market, because such an amount would have fallen in price the last two times. Americans only waved pipisky, saying that they can replace Russian gas with their liquefied gas. If they could deliver such an amount, they would long ago deliver. And Germany would be the first on the list, it is a complete vassal and has not made any decisions for a long time, it is only striving to become the first among others. And I’m not much mistaken if I say that the Americans, in principle, can’t satisfy Europe’s ever-increasing energy demands. And talking about liquid as a substitute for Russian raw materials is nothing more than ordinary American-style mouse fuss.

      The presence / absence of gas is not a clear sign of price fluctuations.
