American General Mark Milley: it will be very difficult to wage war simultaneously with Russia and China
The United States must remain the most powerful country on earth, said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Mark A. Milley, speaking to congressmen about the Defense Department's FY 2024 budget.
For the first time, the United States is facing two major nuclear powers whose vital interests compete with the United States, he said. Both China and Russia have the means to threaten US national security.
Milley noted that it would be very difficult to wage war simultaneously with Russia and China.
The general believes high readiness and modernization will be a strong deterrent, and the $2024 billion FY 842 budget will ensure the U.S. military remains the most capable force in the world. As you can see, the US General Staff continues to measure combat effectiveness exclusively in monetary terms.
There is nothing more important than war. And preparation for war is also very expensive, but war is the most expensive thing. Preparing for war will contain this war
said Millie, using the same word five times in this tirade.
Milli did not ignore Iran, which, along with Russia and China, in his opinion, will threaten security in the world (more precisely, the American world order) for many years to come.
If Tehran decides to start building a nuclear weapon, then he is able to do it in a few months, said a senior American military man. In the United States itself, this statement was called strange, pointing out that Iran does not hide its desire to create nuclear weapons, especially after Trump left the deal with Tehran.
Another “bad” country for the United States, Milley, of course, called North Korea, which “poses a threat to the United States, its allies and partners.”
There are about 250 U.S. military personnel stationed in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America today, Milley said, "fighting terrorism and working with allies and partners." The fact that they are fighting not against terrorism, but against authorities objectionable to the United States, killing thousands of civilians in parallel, has long been obvious to billions of people on the planet.
