American press: "In the confrontation with Russia and China, we need to prepare for another war"

The United States is ready to confront Russia and China, the Pentagon has developed numerous plans to counter the enemy in the event of military conflicts. However, all the plans of the American military are aimed at conducting intense hostilities, and it is necessary to prepare for a completely different war. The American magazine Forbes writes about it.

Strategic planning of the Pentagon provides for various options for responding to the emergence of a threat of military conflicts from Russia or China, but all of them provide for the conduct of intense hostilities using aviation, ships or ground forces, the author writes. However, this approach is already outdated; America's enemies are preparing for a completely different type of war.

While the US Department of Defense is preparing plans to repel a military invasion by the Chinese army in Taiwan or the Russian military in the Baltics, strategies and systems are being developed in Beijing and Moscow to eliminate the advantage of the American army. Both Russia and China are trying to avoid the scenarios for which American troops are preparing.

According to the author's conviction, Russia and China are preparing for "wars of the future", where the main efforts are directed not at an attack on some territory, but at electronic or physical damage to information sources and means of communication, introducing chaos into managerial ties and logistics, etc. Thus, they combine information operations with the isolation of the enemy, avoiding actions that could be followed by a US response. The Russian operation in Crimea is cited as an example.

At the same time, the current US forces, designed to conduct large-scale hostilities, do not match such a conflict. Namely, this scenario can be imposed by China and Russia.

As a result, the author proposes to revise the Pentagon's plans and prepare not for large-scale hostilities, but for a "war of the future" in order to prevent a "new Crimea".

Oh, the Americans are cunning. In fact, they expect that there will not be a full-fledged war. And they will continue to deliver democracy around the planet on their AUG.

Well, they have to beat off the invested grandmother. The fact that the iron does not float well is not an excuse.

Texas or Alaska?

Like the Swedish island of Gotland, we want to annex it, but this is inaccurate

We want to annex Gotland, but this is inaccurate
There is nothing but seagulls and Swedes. Why do we need it ???

[prior]

Gotland is an excellent location for the Balls, Iskanders, gas pumping stations and berths for the Caliber corvettes.
With such a "gentleman's set," Gotland would become a bone in the throat of Northern Europe.
In vain, Stalin did not demand him when he annexed Kaliningrad.

Worse. The humidity there is very low, and the sea is cold (not in the sense that it freezes, but in the sense that the water does not rise above 20 degrees even in summer).

Russia returned what was taken from her.

[Jaromir]

The United States has become so insolent in permissiveness, in its shameless "right" to interfere in the affairs of other countries and dictate its will to the world community, that it has lost touch with reality. The reality is that more and more countries are becoming dissatisfied with Americanism and their horror stories about aggressive Russia and China.

[Real Pilot]

There will come a time when they can only "express concern"!

In fact, that's what they do ...
Just a formidable mask and power over other people's wallets so far cause caution among opponents and feigned fear. It makes no sense for now to openly enter into confrontation, for the United States is weakening, far-sighted competitors are playing for time.

What did they do in Crimea or Hong Kong? Only sanctions - and this is "concern" ...
Even Maduro resisted.

[Dizzy]

Just like the Soviet Union provided peace to its neighbors. It is always worth keeping in mind the example of Germany: the FRG and the GDR. The West is controlled and supported by the United States, and the East is controlled and supported by the USSR. Mercedes, BMW, Porsche were produced in the West. East of Trabant and Wartburg. The West went on vacation to the Maldives, Bali, Kenya or the Cote d'Azur. East to Bulgaria, Crimea and Turkey. That says it all.

Brief retelling: an article about the fact that according to the American magazine Forbes, the Pentagon is preparing the wrong plans for war against Russia and China, unlike us.

[tralflot1832]

If God gives us in one harness with China to oppose the United States, then let the latter surrender immediately or there is a choice: die tired! point to whom to attack!

[Jaromir]

Quote: tralflot1832

One thing I don't understand why do we need the Baltic states?

Who knows ... Probably to amuse the pride of Russophobes, giving them the opportunity to assert: "We said that it will be so."

[English tarantas]

The Baltic States are a bridgehead, there the forces are always ready at NATO and the logistics are thought out, if in the first days you do not throw them back into the sea, it will be sad. If it rolls, then they will attack through Belarus and Ukraine, it will be harder there.

[Catsoi]

The Baltic States are a bridgehead, NATO forces are always ready there and the logistics are thought out

What's the logistics - the rails are already being sold ...

, if in the first days you do not throw them back into the sea, it will be sad.

Whoever climbs there, there is not even rockets - everything is shot with howitzers. Yes, and through the Baltic puddle, is it possible to supply someone? They won't even be able to swim - they will sink ...

[English tarantas]

You should return to school, if you knew at least a little the history of the Great Patriotic War, you would be vkursy at what speed the Germans flew across the Baltic for 41 (!) Years and who can be supplied there in the Baltic.

[Catsoi]

In the 21st century, still think in terms of WW2

[Cron]

or Russian to the Baltics

Logic, I think, is pointless to look for in this nonsense.

[rocket757]

According to the author, Russia and China are preparing for "wars of the future"

"Nicely" wrote .... but he himself understands, will be able to explain what it should mean.

[Sayan]

Russia wants peace, so it prepares for war

[mojohed2012]

Such statements and confidence in the plans of action of the Russian Federation and China are the hallmarks of US strategists. This is the logic of constantly looking for threats to knock out the largest possible budget for yourself. And only then - traditional sawing, spraying. It seems that Taiwan is not China's main target, and, with the support of the United States, the Taiwanese authorities fear that they will be thrown at the most crucial moment. But, I believe that China through Taiwan simply keeps the tension and encourages its army to train and learn "military science in a real way" (as they wrote on the posters of the USSR). Such a point of application of soft power. At the same time, the scenario of Crimea in Taiwan will not work. There is no threat of "friendship trains" and nationalist purges there.
The second question: Will the US contingent in Taiwan and nearby decide to defend against an invasion of the PLA landing force? It seems that the Anschluss scenario as it was in Austria at the end of the 30s is quite possible. And the US forces in the region are essentially an occupying contingent that does not want to lay down their lives for some pro-Western Chinese.
Question three: the Baltics and the forces of the Russian Federation. Not everything is so unambiguous. Kaliningrad is cut off from the territory of Russia, therefore, with the growing threat of an unacceptable blockade and a NATO military attack, "breaking through" the land connection with Kaliningrad is a logical way out. And ending chaos in Ukraine with the help of the Russian Federation is a parallel step. Why do we need hostile troops and strike assets so close to the western border ...

[certero]

There is no US contingent in Taiwan.

[mojohed2012]

You're right. The United States withdrew troops from Taiwan in 1979. I meant the US base nearby in the region.

[Andrea]

And they will show off, turn off the GPS.
Then they will not be able to go to the wind, let alone fight.

[prior]

How short is human memory! The Americans completely forgot what the war in Vietnam cost them and how they got out of there. And what was the post-Vietnam syndrome like.
Apparently the time has come for the statement: "Repetition is the mother of learning."

[Horon]

where the main efforts are not aimed at attacking any territory

Next:

The Russian operation in Crimea is cited as an example.

You really decide whether you are a girl or a boy!

[Pessimist22]

They will fight for Taiwan anyway, now they are transferring production from China to the island, this says something.

[Mykhalych]

"... As a result, the author proposes to revise the plans of the Pentagon and prepare not for large-scale hostilities, but for a" war of the future "in order to prevent "new Crimea"."- hinting at Alaska ...

[rotmistr60]

What plans the Americans are making for waging a war with Russia and China, one thing is clear that even the United States, together with its "allies", will not pull such a war either physically, and even more so morally. It is not with the natives to fight, even which in some cases they cannot suppress. What's interesting is that Forbes teaches the Pentagon what kind of war to prepare for.

[Ros 56]

Seriously, and the striped ones are ready to lay their heads behind the Tribals or Poles with banderlog? Well, the striped ones made fun. And as for electronics, we'll think about it.

American press: “In the confrontation with Russia and China, we need to prepare for another war»

Interestingly, this statement from the American press came after:

The PLA Coast Guard was given the right to open fire on foreign ships if necessary.

https://topwar.ru/179313-beregovaja-ohrana-kitaja-poluchila-pravo-otkryvat-ogon-po-inostrannym-sudam.html
And a statement like:

Quote: Thrall

Oh, the Americans are dissembling. In fact, they expect that there will not be a full-fledged war. And they will continue to deliver democracy around the planet on their AUG.

It does not stand up to criticism in terms of deceit: it is the United States that is not ready for a full-fledged war only because in the case of Russia and China, they are threatened with heavy losses in equipment and manpower. It is to Africa or the Middle East that they can bring the "fruits of democracy" under the guise of AUG. Against Russia and China, which are armed with hypersonic anti-ship missiles, this is no longer "canal". We all remember how soon the campaign against the DPRK ended. And this is just an army, not comparable in the quality of weapons to its neighbors.
Let them prepare. It seems to me that there will soon be no one to fight for the interests of the United States (after an adequate "response").

[askort154]

Thus, they combine information operations with the isolation of the enemy, avoiding actions that could be followed by a US response. The Russian operation in Crimea is cited as an example.

Yes, Russia returned Crimea home without firing a shot. And there they were already confidently drafting the US project - the NATO base in Sevastopol, and in general, the admission of Ukraine to NATO. The Crimea event is a "bolt from the blue" even for the CIA and NSA. When asked by the NSA, what was going on there in Crimea, the CIA, sitting in the building of the SBU of Ukraine, itself had no "idea". All communication between Kiev (General Staff and CIA) with Crimea was absent.
They learned about the events in Crimea from the Russian media. All administrative communications of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine were blocked. So, the article correctly says that a new type of weapon of the 21st century has appeared - "an information operation to isolate the enemy." And Russia showed it brilliantly.

[Interlocutor]

The United States is ready to confront Russia and China, the Pentagon has developed numerous plans to counter the enemy in the event of military conflicts. However, all the plans of the American military are aimed at conducting intense hostilities, and it is necessary to prepare for a completely different war. The American magazine Forbes writes about it.

Were they ready to butt armored personnel carriers in Syria? In the same way, they will be ready for conflict.

In this war, pins have to get used to the ground.

American press: "In the confrontation with Russia and China, we need to prepare for another war"

Of course, they will take into account their "mistakes", both in VT and in other Wed-wah. But most likely they will promote the old tried and tested method of "pulling chestnuts out of the fire with someone else's hands." If large - 1 and 2 MW, and then see recent history, incl. along the perimeter of Russia. Variations with performers are possible. But, most ...
Americans want to play like the Chinese in their time in the "wise monkey". Which, having climbed onto the polma, watches when someone ONE will remain in the "crocodile" (amphibian - USA) and bear (USSR - Russia) grabbed in a mortal grip. The goal is to play off strong competitors, finish off the remaining weakened and pleasant viewing bonus - you are a HEGEMON in the WORLD. Already again for a long time.
Something like that.

[Klingon]

So why did they agree to extend START-3? I just want to say which leadership is not smart. Here are the Chinese guys. they wanted to spit on this contract

[TOR2]

In the author's conviction, Russia and China are preparing for "wars of the future", where the main efforts are directed not at attacking some territory, but at electronic or physical damage to information sources and means of communication, introducing chaos in managerial ties and logistics, etc.

These "wars of the future" were developed at the Pentagon a long time ago. Well, the fact that the technology began to unfold against its creators is something to resent. No one forced them to build bases around the world.

[spolo]

Russia's strategy is outrageously simple. Wait for someone to attack, then to win, to tear off a piece and attach it to yourself.

[Rome]

It's strange to hear from the Americans about the information war on the part of opponents, like they are boots, and we are sneaks. Exactly the same conversations we had about the American strategy of war in the future (today already in the present), only the situation was presented exactly the opposite what has changed interesting?
