US General: The war with Russia cannot be presented as a skirmish over some border town in Estonia

The likelihood of a "limited" armed conflict escalating into larger-scale hostilities with countries such as Russia and China is quite high. The war with Russia cannot be presented as a skirmish over some border town in Estonia or Lithuania. This was announced by General of the US Army Mark Millie, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces.

According to the general, Russia and China remain a threat to the United States, but China is increasingly becoming the main threat. Currently, the Pentagon views Moscow and Beijing as real opponents and future enemies. At the same time, Milli is convinced that although relations between Russia and the United States will remain complex and confusing, there will be no war. According to him, the war is not an acceptable outcome.

(...) many forget that a "limited" conflict with China, which begins somewhere on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, or a sudden military clash with Russia over some border town in one of the Baltic states, such as Estonia or Latvia, can develop into a full-fledged military conflict with the use of nuclear weapons

- said the general, adding that the opinion of some American military that the United States is able to control such clashes is wrong.

The general recalled that over the past 30 years, the United States has participated in many military conflicts and wars, as well as smaller counter-terrorism operations around the world. Milli argues that planning and preparing for a conflict against Russia or China will not be like all US operations, and it's not just that conflicts with Russia will be harder and harder, they just shouldn't start.

US General: War with Russia cannot be viewed as a skirmish for some Estonian border town

Yes, the war will not be like that now!
If the war breaks out, everyone will get it!

[Lexus]

Swindlers and thieves on behalf of Russia and you and I have already surrendered. Only honorable surrender, which is absolutely fair, no one offers them. They don't stand on ceremony with traitors. They are not loved anywhere, but only used. And no one buys from the burrow. They will definitely finish it off.

a skirmish with Russia over some border town in one of the Baltic states

And again "by default" Russia attacked, and there are arguments - to intervene or not.
Although in reality it is always the other way around.
The USA is always the first to attack someone.

[shonsu]

Sure sure. Today I read in our "press" that in Israel a man was shot with a vaccine and he died. I re-read the entire article but did not find which vaccine. Apparently not ours, otherwise it would have been in large letters in the title. But on the other hand, they printed it so that it would be deposited in the brain - it is dangerous to be vaccinated. The media are corrupt. We urgently need to introduce censorship, urgently!

That's for sure! It is something that is stirring up in the West, especially in Washington / Pentagon.
The enemies of the world in Washington with their Pentagon and NATO are actively preparing for war.

New Year's holidays are just around the corner! And people, instead of a feeling of celebration, expect a war either in the new year, or in the next, as was the expectation of war at Dali in 1938.

[Fantazer911]

Active preparations are underway, most likely it will flare up closer to the fall of next year, unless the States only do not post a tsunami or other cataclysm from a tsunami or other cataclysms in August 21, perhaps methiorite will fall, where the beginning of the conflict is not vague, we are waiting.

Please do not forget that the decision to start a war will be made by politicians, not generals - in the State Department and in the Capitol there is much less common sense than under the cap of this general (and there are enough hawks in the army too)

Yes, they are rather initially adequate, just while you are building a career, then I have to play politics. And as the pension is earned, you can say what you think. After all, you don’t need a lot of intelligence to understand that Russia has no reason to play an aggressive war in the European theater of operations. But to prove to the townsfolk that the country needs you personally is a very profitable business.

Your extremism is far from the real life of officers, and as an example, I will cite a case from my service. One officer on Saturday early morning got stoned in the garage by negligence, not being on duty. In order for his family to receive all the benefits and pensions for children, a version was invented that the boss ordered him to leave for a higher organization on Saturday morning in his own car, because on weekends, leaving the park is limited according to the current orders of the Ministry of Defense.
Well, our boss lied, presenting the case like this - and you think that someone began to disrespect him for this? On the contrary, for all of us it was an example of the attitude towards colleagues, and the command of the unit turned a blind eye to this and the commander approved the act of the interrogators. Here's a lie for your salvation ...

The danger to the world lies in the fact that the political brains of the United States for the most part have worn out for more than 70 years, and their carriers suffer to one degree or another with senile marasmus. Anything can be expected from these politicians because any examination will confirm their insanity. and therefore non-jurisdiction.

They cannot win the war with us and they are very aware. So that's why the real battle is for the minds of the youth. They were able to reformat the youth of the Baltic States, Ukraine, Georgia, and they went like sheep for a free salary! Yeah shchaz, in the West you just get the hell out of it, you have to pay for everything, and the West also buys officials, lets them buy houses, open firms and accounts, and then they keep that anchor.
So that's where the danger lies.

There would have been a second Cuban missile crisis number 2, and now everything has come to naught. Everything went quietly with Iran.
What are the chances of the Americans now?

Ps. Even Operation Pandemic has its own global rules.

No matter how cynical and monstrous it sounds, WWII also had fundamental rules and plans from all the belligerents, only tens of millions of victims are not easier because they died under someone's global and mostly criminal plans ...

So, just long before this invasion of jackals our people will have to put an end to their liber jackals under the general name "the fifth and sixth columns".
For general education: the fifth column is a louse of domestic origin ("I am a girl and I want to go to Europe and lace panties"), and the sixth column is vested with power and does not live on a salary (albeit a gigantic one in comparison with our pensions), while knows how to masterly convert power into money and influence, generating corruption AT ALL LEVELS.

So it is a reminder of all sorts of different, raving about lightning-fast, local, limited and other conflicts and about some kind of possible victories.

The expected and contradictory whine from the liberal crowd? How tired of this nonsense, about "everyone handed over and sold everything." Open your eyes. DB. The sanctions pressure that Russia is experiencing is associated with only one thing - the Russian government is not controllable for the West, moreover, it has taken a clear course towards restoring sovereignty. What surrender? Only if the thane surrenders.

[Pas2x]

Don't be so categorical. All these sanctions, as it turned out, hit only the ordinary population. Not a single oligarch close to the Kremlin has gone bankrupt. And even on the contrary - they get rich before our eyes. But people with tight belts on cheap macaroshkas are not filled with patriotism. Not a bad way to undermine the state's defenses, if anything ....

Not the former and speaks such sensible words. Biden. urgently appoint him commander-in-chief. You won't go wrong

According to the general, Russia and China remain a threat to the United States, but China is increasingly becoming the main threat. Currently, the Pentagon views Moscow and Beijing as real opponents and future enemies.

What does not surprise me for a long time is the fact that all high-level military personnel from different countries, unlike politicians, assess real opponents in the foreseeable future very adequately, and do not waste time with different pygmies.
In the same way that this American general evaluates his real opponents, in the same way all the normal military in Russia understand that we have only two main enemies - the United States and China. Everything else is from the crafty, like that puppy's delight about Israeli drones, which in our confrontation are somewhat reminiscent of pipifax, which can wipe one place. But then screams, screams ...

Why should this be surprising? The military understands everything, and many politicians too. The military needs to somehow justify their existence, politicians need to get profits from the military-industrial complex for the lobby, the military-industrial complex needs to exist and receive orders. Well, no one canceled objectively useful actions to humiliate the enemy.

China will never become our friend, and they demonstrated this in their relations with the USSR. So let's not build illusions about our system - Chinese ambitions are well hidden behind colorful speeches, but for some reason they have territorial claims to all neighbors. China will become a serious enemy when its military potential surpasses ours - this will be the starting point.

Nuuu semi-true semi-correct-conflict with Russia over Estonian-Latvian villages is unlikely, since Russia doesn’t need them, if only from there you muddied the provocation, and with China it will not work for uninhabited islands in the same place and fight, just think how much Chinese in yusa then you will understand where the conflict will be

[Land defence]

a "limited" conflict with China, which begins somewhere on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean, or a sudden military skirmish with Russia over some border town in one of the Baltic states

[Al_lexx]

This speech by the American general is nothing more than a distraction from the fact that the war is already underway. A war for the complete destruction of Russia. Only it is being conducted not in the trenches, but in financial, political, legal and other spheres, far from the armed forces of both countries.
Seriously speaking about a real clash between American and Russian troops can only be either a weak-minded or a mishandled provocateur. And this is well understood by serious people on both sides of the current conflict of interest.

[Ryusey]

Apparently you are this imbecile or provocateur, since war is always war and everything that you described is just a way to weaken the enemy before a "hot" war.

[Esoteric]

Well, I don't know how to present my opinion. Of course I will get a bunch of cons, but still. Anglo-Saxon civilization will never fight with us. Yes, there are contradictions, but there are many of them. But. We did not have a war with England and her heirs in terms of domination in the world. The only time in history was the Crimean War. But there the frogs did their best. And so, always allies.
Yes, the Anglo-Saxons they are so bad, "the Englishwoman crap", but how could it be otherwise? We wanted our empire to prosper, they wanted theirs. This is normal. But in the greatest wars of the past centuries, they were the Anglo-Saxons who were our allies. It is a fact.
And in a hypothetical conflict with our southern neighbor, China, who do you think will help us? France, Italy, Germany? Not. They, the Anglo-Saxons, will help.
Ready for the cons.
