Commandant of the US Marine Corps predicted the defeat of the American army in the event of a war with China in the Pacific

If the US goes to war with China in the Asia-Pacific region, then the US military may be defeated. This was stated in an interview with Newsweek by the commandant of the US Marine Corps, General David Berger.

Currently, Berger notes, the US military is short of special equipment and other capabilities for large-scale amphibious operations. In a conflict with China, given its remoteness from the American borders, this shortage can become critical.

The commandant of the Marine Corps emphasized that the level of readiness of landing capabilities has dropped in recent years to 35% of that required for the deployment of three landing groups. We are talking about ships that are supposed to transport ground units of the Marine Expeditionary Force across the sea.

In addition, the general notes, there are problems with the three-stage rotation "training - deployment - return." As a result, units of the US Armed Forces may be in a dangerous position. For example, there will be no ships for the transfer of reinforcements. Berger also drew attention to the lack of proper training of the Marines, since exercises of this level are not held as often as they should be.

However, in and of themselves, statements by current American military leaders of such a level as the commandant of the Marine Corps about the upcoming war with China cannot but be alarming. Rather, Berger's appeal implies the need to allocate additional financial resources to the armed forces and is addressed to Congress, although the military leader does not say this. Probably, it is this circumstance that allows him, an official official of the Pentagon, to openly express such considerations.

Now our task is to draw American forces and assets into the outskirts, and the whales will grab and Taiwan. And while the pinds will rush between, we will slam them right there. And if it comes to nuclear weapons, well, that means we are in paradise, and they will simply burn down)))

American military forces may be defeated

They can't, but they will.

[Graz]

the Chinese will drown them when they don’t get enough on their troughs even before Taiwan, of course, this needs the political will of the Chinese leadership

That's something, but China has enough political will.

Old songs about the main thing.
Ay-yai-yai, we don't have ships, we don't have money for training, we don't have this, we don't have that, give us... give... give...
give!!!
Give me lots of money!!!

As far as I remember, Yaroslavna's crying always ends the same way - raise funding!

Captain Obvious approves.

Only I would have slightly supplemented that commandant (what kind of title is this?)

in the United States.
Because it seems to me that Comrade Xi will not look for a long time and draw "red lines" too. The "decision-making centers" are dying, and the "American armed forces" involved in the conflict with China will not know what to do next - surrender or simply run away.

As an option, learn Chinese immediately after leaving the port, that is, they will return to America in 10000 years, when they stop phoning.

Denn mir scheint, dass Genosse Xi nicht lange suchen und auch "rote Linien" ziehen wird. Die "Entscheidungszentren" sterben, und die in den Konflikt mit China verwickelten "amerikanischen Streitkräfte" werden nicht wissen, was sie als nächstes tun sollen - sich ergeben oder einfach weglaufen.

Falls die USA so dumm sein sollten, sich ernsthaft auf einen Krieg mit
China einzulassen, wird es keine US-Heimat mehr geben, wohin sich
US-Soldaten fluchten könnten...!!!

In 1941, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, there was also not enough of everything, and by 1945 everything was in abundance. The capabilities of the US military-industrial complex must be taken into account, as Admiral Yamamoto warned at one time.

Oh okay. All their words are horror stories for Congress - give money and more. After all, everyone knows that after leaving office, people leave for a corporation, and for sure he already knows which one. So he tries for the company and himself personally. It's called lobbying. Foreva sawmill.

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Treba si zase někoho najdou, kdo bude umírat za USA jako Ukrajinci.

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Maybe there will be those who will die for the United States, like the Ukrainians.

For some reason, the United States is confident that the Chinese Armed Forces and the people of China will fight against them (the aggressors from the United States) with much less courage and perseverance than the Vietnamese ??? A profound delusion... The war with China can become (and will become...) the last page in the history of the United States as a state.... In the economy, the capitalist system of the United States has ALREADY shamefully lost to the communist system of China... Is it time to compete with armies? ??
