U.S. General considers Russia a declining country with a strategic arsenal

China and Russia pose the main threats to the United States. In this case, the PRC should be put in the first place.

This opinion was expressed by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the American Armed Forces, General Mark Milli, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Now China is significantly strengthening its Armed Forces. He intends to create an army equal to the capabilities of the US Army by 2030. And by the middle of the century, the PRC plans to gain such an advantage over the United States so that in the event of a military conflict it will be able to defeat the United States.

According to Milli, although China is a more serious threat than Russia, the danger posed by Moscow cannot be underestimated.

The Russian Federation is also capable of threatening the Americans and Europeans, but the nature of the threat posed to it is different from that of the PRC.

US General Mark Millie sees Russia as a declining country, but with a powerful strategic arsenal. He realizes that Moscow has a strong Armed Forces equipped with nuclear weapons and perfect means of delivery.

In addition, Russia is looking for an opportunity to become a great authoritative power again. And such intentions pose a significant threat to the United States.

Generally speaking, the general is right.

[Berber]

(to the collective Svarog) What is he right about? A declining country is the United States. For all our problems, we do not have so many homeless and unemployed people. And there are no queues for "free" grocery sets. And medicine is much more affordable, even paid. So, this general needs to look in the "mirror" more often to see the real decline.

It seems that the author of this article somehow interprets RT's message in a VERY peculiar way. And RT reported:

"The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milli, noted the abilities and professionalism of the Russian military, and he called Russia a great power in view of its capabilities and ability to perform assigned tasks.

“Their military is very skillful and very professional. There are not as many of them as there were in Soviet times, but they are very skillful. In fact, Russia is a great power. This is not in doubt because of their capabilities, ”Millie told The Wall Street Journal.

The Chief of Staff also drew attention to the ability of the Russian Armed Forces to find unconventional solutions to the assigned tasks, the cyber capabilities of the Russian army and the combat readiness of the Aerospace Forces, the Navy and ground forces.

At the same time, the general stressed that in the "strategic sense" the Russian state, despite the presence of strategic nuclear forces, is experiencing a "decline" due, among other things, to the consequences of the events of the 1990s. "
A big difference!

If you believe that the RT processed text of the interview is the primary source, then this is your personal opinion.

Unfortunately, I do not speak English to read such articles in the original source. Only, for some reason, I think that the chief of the American General Staff Millie is NOT such a fool as he appears from the VO article. And the RT material seems to me more in line with the truth and mental abilities of the chief of the US staff committee. Interesting misreading of the same interview ...

You can also believe anything, this is your personal opinion.

I knew a lot of "skillful" translators whose translations I used to laugh a lot ...

[eklmn]

"You can also believe anything, that's your personal opinion."
Quite right! But this must be the Primary Source, which would be matched by the criterion "believe / not_believe".
As Kozma Prutkov used to say - “Look at the root!”. Otherwise, from the first articles / interpretations, they throw so much noodles that no ears can stand ...
In addition, possession of English language makes it possible to check several sources for info. And since sources are not state-owned (in the United States, state propaganda is prohibited), then there is much less propaganda in them or not at all.

It's true. Plus to you.
The USA has a beautiful facade, although it is rapidly deteriorating.
But there, even look a little behind this facade - travel by car along the famous road 66, for example. You will be greatly surprised, in Western Europe, such a rusty-dirty backwater, I don't even know where to see it.
Any Bulgarians and other Romanians do not count :)) these have always been a backwater, for centuries. The only bright period for these latter is the CMEA and the Warsaw Pact.

For some, Russia ends with the Moscow Ring Road. And by the fact that beyond the Moscow Ring Road it is gray-ruin. So everyone has a beautiful facade, but the backyards are the same, with the only difference who is called. Here in Tanya there are whole cities of homeless people, and in Russia there are whole cities of the middle class (according to the version of the Sun, based on the average salary in relation to the minimum wage).

[Poganini]

This is an objective reality given to us in sensations. And in the dynamics of the ongoing processes. But to verify these feelings, it is better to see with your own eyes both the modern USA and modern Russia.

[blackice]

Iiiii?
Has Russia suddenly become higher than the United States in terms of living standards and purchasing power?
I understand that you are ready to talk about oysters, and I am not, but let's judge Russia in numbers, and not in fantasies.

Free food sets are handed out in the Kremlin. And there is a queue. Angry, unhappy ...
Countries were previously estimated in terms of tons of steel, megawatts of electricity, machine tools, chemistry, cars, ships and airplanes, roads, science, and the number of people. Therefore, yes. USA and China. Russia is so, one of the countries of Europe. Not strong, not weak. Well, there is and is. And the task of the American general is to make the Russian government serve as cannon fodder in the struggle between the USA and China. In short, wait until we become weak and become an obedient vassal ..

That's right, if the facts contradict the Svarogov window - so much the worse for the facts! ps I do not like demagogues.

[cmax]

Paganini, stop by at Yartsevo. Smolensk region. M1 road. Drive through the center of the town, the road is as if only the Germans were kicked out, all broken up. Abandoned production facilities. Western part of Russia. Horror. So who is the demagogue. You might think America needs to catch up with you in terms of living

[Poganini]

Well, you stop by the rusty belt NY or Detroit there. There will be not horror, but horror-horror-horror. Yes, what to say, when the roadside from the airport to NY is all in potholes (we have a road of norms from Tolmachevo to the city), and in the city itself a wheelbarrow jumps on potholes - there are many patches. Yes, the average American is ALREADY living no better than the average Russian. Especially if we take the integral quality of life: the number of psychos and homeless people on the street, the backwardness of the infrastructure (bad Internet, they still take your card somewhere, instead of coming with a card reader), but I have to roll a whole sheet, lazily.

[blackice]

Yes Yes.
USA - 6th place in terms of living standards in the world
Russia-60th place in terms of living standards in the world
Of course they live the same way.
What about homeless people and psychos, do we have less?
Only there people are deprived, we have a drunk.
Not recognizing the obvious does not mean that there is no problem.

[Poganini]

All these places are a very specific thing (depending on who places them in these places). For example, the states in the ranking of the World Economic Forum were in 1st place in terms of preparedness for epidemics, and in fact they were in 1st place in the number of covid snacks.
You just have no idea what you are talking about - we do not just have less, but simply practically none compared to the states. I think the difference is not even an order of magnitude, but two. There are whole camps of homeless people, huge, for example, in Santa Barbara or LA. There were as many as 2 psychos on the tram from Long Beach to LA, and another one wandered along the platform, but missed the car. In general, this is heaven and earth.

[blackice]

I understand that you are writing now from Santa Barbara?
The fact that we underestimate the statistics on deaths from a certain disease does not mean that it does not exist. I myself was in the infectious diseases department, I saw the whole picture myself.
As for the psychos, it is not customary for us to notice them, and homeless people roll in the cold, but the ranks are constantly growing. In addition, a bum in tan has more rights than you in Russia. Their homeless person has every right to ride on public transport, with us he has every right to rake him to a coma.

Don't worry, this is the technique of the new "communists". Earlier, real communists fought, sparing neither themselves nor others. The current ones just whine and cry that they all owe them, well, mud with adoration is poured onto the history of Russia, that the past, that the present, with the exception of the period 17-90, is a taboo, any justified criticism of this time causes violent hysteria.

[Poganini]

Oh, and Ber-Ber took the new "communists" for bulk! Coincidence? I don’t think so. )

And how do they differ from each other? For some, the bulk will bring order, for others, Stalin will reincarnate and will also bring order. Themselves without the Fuhrer in any way. At least put in the entrance or in the yard.

[blackice]

Aren't shitcrats pouring dirt on the history of Russia?
And not on what the communists built you still live?
And for the gifted I will write the following: "The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation" of 13.06.1996 N 63-FZ (ed. From ... Public calls for extremist activity · Article 280.1. ... of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Section X. Crimes against state authorities.
Any of these articles can be applied to anyone, even for criticizing the authorities.
And it doesn't matter to me where you get for your commas, from Navalny or on Lakhta 2

[Squelcher]

Please, no hysteria ..
Are the "communists" really shy about shedding dirt or lies on the history of Russia? Example:
The "bloody" tsarist regime allowed Lenin to write letters with milk; I don’t remember the facts under the most "humane" Soviet regime, prisoners wrote letters with milk.
Secondly:
I live in Russia, not NA. By the way, the communists came to the desert? Didn't use the legacy of the "bloody" tsarist regime?
You write from androyd or Windows and smart devices are clearly not from the USSR, the same damned "capitalists" invented how your fingers do not burn?
By the way, "poking" is not good, weren't you taught this in Soviet times?

[blackice]

And YOU are not living now on what the damned komunyaki built?
What did the komunyaks get from the tsarist regime, not an agrarian country?
Android or Windows were invented by the democrats of Russia?
Aaaaa, for sure, the Democrat of All Russia Anatoly Chubais announced the invention of the black-and-white tablet, invented under his direct supervision! It's a pity he was transferred to another position, I think the announcement of a black-and-white tube TV was not far off.
And what is Russia now? A raw material appendage of Europe. Country for whipping in the media over the hill for any reason, as well as unfounded accusations from the "highest" stands.
But we will wash ourselves, because there are people who believe in the greatness of all magnitudes

[Squelcher]

Again hysteria, as Bulgakov was right in describing Sharikov and Shvonder, Under the "wise" rule of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the country straining and straining forces and every five-year period trying to catch up and overtake the west, did not catch up with him - at this time while the west was going Without particularly straining, he even often helped with engineers and technologies, of course, for money, the USSR to build factories and ships.
Once again I live in Russia! If you live ON it is sad.
And my house, the school the child goes to, even the road and the plant where I work were not built by the communists.
I did not share BC and RP in 1996 with you, so poke at your wife.

[blackice]

Tantrum in your fevered brain.
Read the Dunning-Kruger Rule. So it suits you!
With regards to the USSR, it was the second economy in the world, with the conquest of space, free education and medicine. The West lived without straining at the expense of other countries, which they robbed without straining, and those who resisted were bombed.
And Russia is a raw material appendage of the world economy.
Tell us about your plant that the communists did not build.

Once again I live in Russia! If you live ON it is sad.

It’s sad that you still don’t understand the Dunning-Kruger rule.

Yes, not only economically, in moral and ethical terms, too, decline. Nothing worthy of attention in terms of culture has not been created - isolated cases with cinema only confirm the rule. The population continues to disunite and there is no rallying idea of ​​why to live and what the state is striving for.

Exactly. You just have to want. I recently read a book by Dan Brown, Origins. God, how he describes Spain ... at night I looked at all the places that he described on the internet. And I was just shocked how I just missed such beauty ... and the Guggenheim Museum in Balboa ... I didn't even know about its existence. You learn so many new things every day.

[evgen1221]

And now can authors who would also praise the beauty of our country? So that they were also heard, and their works were breathtaking, so that they would like to move to us for permanent residence to enjoy life in the country with the same impulse as he is here about Spain and other notable attractions? But there is no need to cite examples from Soviet authors (something from the year of the 90th starting, and without nastalgia on the union) I'm afraid you will find a few of them, and the list will probably be short.

I will not put a minus.

[carstorm 11]

Oh ... in our time, many facets have been erased. The classics have become available to everyone. There is a site called culture dot ru. There performances, operas you want.

We are not 6th, we are 4th. It is calculated trivially, in one step: an estimate of the share of the WB shadow economy is taken (emnip, 30% for us, 10% for the Germans, and about zero in Japan) and multiplied by GDP. And we take our rightful 4th place. Neither the Japanese nor the Germans can catch up with us already. But Indonesia-Brazil is yes, the enti can shove us off someday if we relax.

If you count everything carefully, then the average Russian is much more prosperous than the average European rogue.

[evgen1221]

We will also take the self-employed, these people are 30% unemployed from casual earnings to casual earnings and note that by paying taxes they are officially deprived of the right to work experience and pension. So why not self-employment then?

I don’t know that, I didn’t go into this problem so deeply. Well, probably people need it, since they use this self-employment.

Here is the opinion of Western analysts.

The US International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) is convinced that it still needs a little patience with the Russians. Yes, after the collapse of the USSR, they are now stronger than ever, but ten to fifteen years will pass, and the Americans will again see a degrading army and country in front of them, according to the USA.

Well-known in the military expert community, Michael Kofman is convinced that Moscow spends up to $ 180 billion per year on the army (2019 figures) in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. Consequently, Russia remains in third place in the world (after the United States and China) in terms of military spending. Nevertheless, Kofman notes that the Russian Federation was not so long ago the first economy in Europe in terms of PPP, but today it has lost its leadership to Germany.

[RUSS]

The Russian Federation is also capable of threatening the Americans and Europeans, but the nature of the threat posed to it is different from that of the PRC.
China is a threat to us too, sooner or later we will face "Our Baikal".

[tarabar]

In the Russia-China-USA triangle, mattresses are definitely an obtuse angle, since in the strategic confrontation with China they are still trying to spread rot on us. It should be understood that they can now defeat China only either with us as allies, or with our neutrality, all other options are losing. The ambition apparently has not yet disappeared, and when it disappears in 10-15 years it will be too late, they and the Chinese will not be able to pull it alone.

[Poganini]

I think the smartest of them already understand everything, but what can they do? They don't have the slightest chance: China has pushed them to second place in terms of economy, and in 2 years India will push them to third. And then China will surpass in the Navy. And that's all, one more empire will become the former.

[dauria]

because in the strategic confrontation with China, they are still trying to spread rot and us

It used to be surprising. Then I realized that they were rightly spreading rot. A strong country will not be a real "ally". You can't drive her to the slaughter when you need to. She will get into someone else's war when she needs it. And not the fact that on your side. Only on their own ... In the meantime, the Americans' plan is simple and feasible - to strangle, wait for weakness and make our "powers that be" decent vassals. A sort of NATO from Lisbon to Vladik ... And only then dictate to the Chinese, threatening including through Russia. But help now? Why do they need it now? We do not lay down under China yet; we are not harnessing the war on the side of China.

[tarabar]

Colleague, in general, I consider your reasoning to be correct, but they may not wait for the comprador elites in the Russian government, and why then actively oppose themselves as an open enemy to us, I don’t understand, they themselves internally rally us and push us to an alliance with the Chinese, and this is already the prototype of the continental union, the notorious Heartland, which is stable and self-sufficient in all respects, this fortress is definitely too tough for them.

[A. Privalov]

What did he actually have to say? That Russia is a soft pink bunny? That we are her one left? In a word, the general has nothing to argue with.

(to the collective Svarog) What is he right about? A declining country is the United States. For all our problems, we do not have so many homeless and unemployed people. And there are no queues for "free" grocery sets. And medicine is much more affordable, even paid. So, this general needs to look in the "mirror" more often to see the real decline.

"Collective Svarog" are ordinary Christ-sellers. Therefore, calling them to justice is a futile business. The successes of Russia, which happen, are like a sickle in one place. Well, so ... (I repeat) their job is to sell their homeland.

[Poganini]

True, we do not always know where their homeland is. If they are ipsoshniki, then, from their point of view, they do not sell. But if they are Russians, then it just doesn't fit in my head.

Everyone now has different bell towers, rations and forage lands, hence different opinions. If you and your comrades are involved in the oil industry and other cozy places from which the rest of the population only receives stupid instructions and taxes, then this is your bell tower. And for many, it is different.

[Poganini]

And where does the cozy place? I am an ordinary person, the same as 80% on this site. The point is not that a particular person is good or bad - it is about the country where she is going. And there are facts. The facts show that the country is moving in the right direction. All conceivable and inconceivable data say that the country has just made a giant leap from the 90s. Well, don't you really remember the annual salary delays, the $ 50 salary itself, how the ships were cut, the planes rotted, how the regions were "self-serving", Lord, but there is not enough space to list everything. It's impossible to forget. And where are we now. So our development dynamics is correct. I would like, of course, faster. But only cats are born quickly. And in a real, not fantasized world, you have to work quite long and hard to achieve a result.

[evgen1221]

Yes, I remember those times, of course there are successes. But I also refuse to understand why at that time nothing was done with the management of the country as a system. Lack of responsibility and punishment. The absence of the slightest hint of education and instilling pride in the country and support by the state of outright libel and wash on this state? Today, any statements by the authorities, except for allergies and anger, do not cause, and this must be able to be brought to such an extent. Which speaks of a deep systemic crisis.

[Poganini]

Why lack of responsibility and punishment? The governors in batches fly out and sit down, as well as the heads of large companies. Compared to the United States, we have almost ideal here - there senators and ministers have been sawing the budget for decades and no one has ever sat down. The fact that ANY statements by the authorities cause allergies and anger is a very bad sign. But it is hardly possible to do something about it - age-related changes and degradation, alas, are irreversible at the current level of development of medicine.

[evgen1221]

Yeah, how should one react to the appearance of a cleaning fee in the entrance to the payment in six months when it was not immediately there? Not to mention other obligatory payments for air from the state? To flare up with greater love for them? Will he rally and understand the next Koreiko in the part that he is a bit short of his personal billion, and my neighbor and I need to take off the last panties in a patriotic frenzy to help poor Koreiko?

The number of deaths from the coronavirus has exceeded the level of American losses in WWII and is confidently approaching the level of the Civil War. The economy and unemployment are sliding towards the Great Depression of 1929-1939. China has become the world leader in GDP and is growing its lead. The Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, which Americans began to inject today, causes a terrible allergic reaction and atrophy of the facial nerve with protection for 4 months.

And the elderly NKNSH of the US Armed Forces is babbling something about the declining Russia - with unparalleled hypersonic weapons, the completion of the construction of Nord Stream 2, military bases in the Caucasus and Sudan, large-scale safe vaccination (150 thousand people as of yesterday) with 2 years protection, etc. etc.

The American general is right. Raw material appendage for developed countries. And something about weapons is plagued by vague doubts. It is one thing to show at parades and exercises, and another in combat conditions. And the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, I think, opened the eyes of many.

I don’t understand what she opened for?

[Vadim237]

To which she opened her eyes - the fact that the stability of the troops is ensured primarily by the air defense as it was known since the Second World War. Only not everyone gets it. The Armenians turned out to be one of the most gifted in this regard, both in the training of personnel and the provision and organization of air defense, so they were defeated.

(in the United States, state propaganda is prohibited), then there is much less propaganda in them or not at all.

Well, please don’t tell me. Everything that works in the USA is all on a commercial basis. All media work for someone. There is no free media, there is a continuous order everywhere.

The US could form an alliance with Russia to better contain China. To strengthen it, involve both Europe and Japan and South Korea there. A simple, obvious solution.

Russia is looking for an opportunity to become a great authoritative power again

Trying to become and to become are completely different things. We do not have economic power now. We cannot become an authoritative power without economy and industry. Plus the lack of a promoted ideology. We have nothing to offer potential allies.

The Russian Federation is also capable of threatening Americans and Europeans

So far, the opposite is true. Europe and the United States threaten Russia.
