American press: A global military conflict with the participation of the United States may begin in the near future
The world is on the brink of war, and an armed conflict between the great powers could break out in the next five years. This is the conclusion reached by the American security expert Andrew Mishta in an article for The Wall Street Journal.
According to the American expert, an armed conflict may break out in the world in the near future, in which the United States will act as one party. Mishta is convinced that the second party to the conflict will be China, not Russia. The confrontation between these two countries is only intensifying and may develop into a hot phase, for example, over Taiwan.
The author is convinced that recently the Western countries, led by the United States, have "significantly weakened." This is due to several factors, including the migration crisis, the coronavirus pandemic, the "cultural revolution", etc. The American army is not ready for a global confrontation with an equal adversary; it has lost the habit of waging such wars, fighting terrorists and militants. And the Pentagon will need at least 15 years to rebuild and modernize its armed forces.
The weakness of the United States and will try to take advantage of other "powerful states" who want to challenge American domination. The emerging "window of opportunity" gives them a chance to change the geopolitical alignments in the world, for this it is only necessary to defeat America. Thus, an armed conflict is quite possible, and the next five years is the most favorable moment for this, he sums up.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal released an editorial on Russia-China cooperation. It indicates that the strengthening of ties between Moscow and China is of great concern to the West, especially joint military exercises. There is even a version put forward that the situation around Ukraine was deliberately conceived by Putin in order to divert US attention from China and Taiwan. These two crises are interconnected and work for each other. If Russia attacks Ukraine, China will attack Taiwan and vice versa, the newspaper claims.
