Cedmie: the US does not need to have the illusion of victory over Russia in the arms race

The US official withdrawal from the Russian-American Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF Treaty), in effect, means the announcement of the start of a new arms race. The White House apparatus confidently declares that they are not afraid of an arms race, since President Donald Trump has good relations with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Many experts believe that such statements should be taken seriously. This may mean that the United States is confident that they will quickly eliminate the backlog on new types of weapons, including the development of hypersonic weapons. They are convinced that their economy is so dominant that the Russian economy will not be able to withstand a new arms race by definition. It is from here that the Americans behave, and it is from here that they are absolutely convinced that nothing threatens their dominant position.

The guest of the talk show Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, Yakov Kedmi, an Israeli expert, believes that the Americans should not have illusions about the victory over Russia in the arms race. He will tell you what the main goals the United States pursues with its exit from the INF Treaty, and why they are not ready to confront Russia.

yeah, at the nightingale I’m already looking and our economy is ahead of the rest, it’s not even funny

Actually, Yakov Kedmi always speaks interestingly and to the point! And most importantly - he always very competently assesses the international situation.

So there is something to listen from and something to listen to.

But lying and slandering on Solovyov in this case, Vasily, is not necessary! Namely.

Solovyov in this video did not say anything of the kind - that "our economy is ahead of the rest of the planet" - did not say at all.
You have to be objective and not give your negative wishful thinking.

It's simple. Our president said - why do we need such a world in which there is no place for Russia? I hope European countries are in second place, where vigorous "parcels" will be sent. In the first place are the decision-making centers. This is, of course, in the event of a conflict.

[Rostislav]

Competent analysis. Only about the vulnerability of China did not understand.

China cannot fight us for many reasons.
Firstly, in order to get to resources and energy resources, one needs to move very far. But this will not solve the problems, because the delivery of resources to the PRC is complex and not quick. Throws of huge armies will burn up all fuel reserves, but it is already lacking. Roads capable of withstanding the march of armored vehicles to the arctic ocean - no. And when winter comes, a bunch of problems with security will come up.
Secondly, the Indians will attack the Chinese from the rear, simply because they understand that China will not be able to cope with the war on two fronts, which means that it is necessary to squeeze the zemstvos. The Vietnamese will probably attack in the same way, because they all dislike each other there, despite socialism and so on.
Thirdly, the Russian army is the strongest on the planet in defense, no one has defeated us, no one will win, own land will help.
And, fourth, and most importantly - we can simply burn them in nuclear fire, and while their mines with missiles are located under the cover of our air defense, we won’t even get an answer. And even if we get it, they won’t reach the European part, respectively, most of the population will survive in the event of an exchange of missile attacks. But their mega agglomerations will simply become mass graves.

But all this is not so important, much more important is that the PRC leadership understands all this perfectly, and therefore there will be no major attacks from China. Yes, they don’t even need this, it is beneficial to be friends with us, we supply them with the resources and brains, we will help you from threats from across the ocean, if that.

But economically, they can absorb us and turn us into a raw materials appendage, but here it is hoped that our steering will come up with something

[Victor Orthodox]

One cannot ignore the development of new technologies. Perhaps tomorrow they will develop an effective laser defense, which can intercept any missiles. And here we cannot answer China.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not afraid of war with America, their gut is thin. With China, I'm afraid these may, and have already done.

To some extent, the Russian leadership should learn from Trump. Namely, to announce the threat of destruction of the existing contractual state, to announce their demands in an ultimatum form and then bargain with counterparties on new terms favorable to their side. Why, for example, not declare that in connection with the changes in the geopolitical situation over the past two decades (the termination of the INF Treaty and the possible deployment of this segment of strategic weapons around Russia, the threat of START II, ​​the approach of NATO close to the borders, voluntarism in US policy and their allies), Russia will change the Military Doctrine according to the realities of today, refuses to be the first to use nuclear weapons and admit the possibility of a preventive strike on strategic targets of a potential enemy, withdraws from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Atomic (Nuclear) Weapons, as well as missile technologies. If only these possible steps of the Russian side are announced, one can understand what kind of noise will rise on that side. Of course, the latter will frighten them most of all. After all, Russia is a recognized leader in nuclear and missile technologies. Both military and civilian direction. And the "market" which then threatens to form in the world, namely the market for military nuclear and missile technologies, can derail the entire security system not only of our potential adversaries, but of the entire world. Well, the arms race that Russia is threatened will no longer hit Russia, but the same countries. There are too many people willing to join the atomic and rocket club. And they will definitely find money for the purchase of such technologies. And not these unsecured green bills, but real gold or other materials.
