Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon: In the event of a conflict with the United States, Russia will fill the Atlantic with its nuclear submarines

July 15 2023

If Russia enters into direct armed conflict with the United States, it could end badly for Washington. This conclusion was reached by the former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense, retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor, who gave an interview to political observer Michael Savage.

According to McGregor, the dumbest thing the United States can do is to threaten Russia with its nuclear weapons. weapons. Moscow has its own military potential in this regard, the analyst claims.

The Russians can fill the Atlantic with their submarines, as well as the Pacific Ocean, where they will be supported by the Chinese navy

- said the ex-adviser to the head of the Pentagon, analyzing the prospects for the Russian-American confrontation.

According to McGregor, the United States today does not have the same opportunities as Russia. A significant part of the US Navy nuclear submarines is under repair and cannot start operating even in case of emergency. In addition, it is possible that China, which also has significant naval potential, will get involved in the conflict.

Earlier, another American analyst, Scott Ritter, said that after the failure of the West's sanctions policy against Russia, the United States and NATO are left with only the path of military confrontation with Moscow. But the North Atlantic Alliance is not ready for a direct armed confrontation with the Russian Federation, according to a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer.

We have a drilling rig on Apple.
We drill the mantle from the bottom of the Atlantic and the magma will absorb, dry up the water and the United States will evaporate.
Continental powers will live forever.
To block the drains of their rivers into the ocean. So as not to dry out.

  “but even a couple of our SSBNs that have broken through” - SSBNs do not need to break through anywhere, it is enough for them to have time to shoot back, after that they become uninteresting for the adversary.

      On September 27, 2005, the new-generation Bulava sea-launched ballistic missile was launched for the first time from the Dmitry Donskoy submarine. This happened in the White Sea range. The head of the rocket covered 5,5 thousand kilometers in 14 minutes. It reached the Kamchatka training ground Kura (near the village of Klyuchi) in Kamchatka and hit the target.
      On June 26, 2017, the project 955 missile submarine "Yuri Dolgoruky" of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy launched the Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile from the Barents Sea, successfully hitting the set targets at the Kura training ground (Kamchatka).
      The R-30 "Bulava" is a Russian sea-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), according to the performance characteristics, the maximum range is 8 (ours say) - 000 (bourgeois write) km.
      
      The distance from Avacha Bay (considering the pier) to Los Angeles is 6 km, to Pearl Harbor is 789 km...

    That SSBNs, that RPK SN (aka APRK SN), in addition to SLBMs, also carry torpedo weapons. And if it’s very tight, then the CRBD will be quite able to shoot through the squares (cities, such as Elk in Angeles or New Yorick there!) Through the TA, like good morning!

  What should our KTOF nuclear submarine missile carriers do near the Kuril ridge?
  They go on combat duty from Avacha Bay, this is a whole operation with the closure of the raid, the involvement of the surface forces of the KTOF and aviation, the l / composition of the PDSS detachment, to cut off the Amer "hunter" from our trail. From the gate line of the exit from Avacha Bay to Avacha Bay to the first Kuril Strait, there is a lot of distance, can the sonar complex detect their submarines?
  Since the creation of the nuclear submarine base in Avacha Bay, it has become a tradition, ours are coming out, the Americans are trying to catch them, they are coming out, we are trying to catch them. There are many questions about the US sonar anti-submarine system in the Pacific Ocean.

  How are you going to distribute, by lottery, by a hat in a circle? Thirty years ago, the modern village of Klyuchi in Kamchatka still had the status of a city with a population of up to 12 thousand people, now about 4 thousand people live. In Soviet times, they did not always achieve the "distribution of the population" as you write. Urbanization and the desire of a person to look for a better place to live always leads to what we now have ...

  It would be nice, but that's just no one to settle. Our population is not very eager to give birth to children, and even more so, it is not eager to go to the Far East. In tsarist times, the mass settlement of the Far East proceeded for several reasons. 1. A huge amount of free land, for which in the west of the Republic of Ingushetia the peasants beat each other in the face. Therefore, the peasants massively threw down to develop the land, mainly from Ukraine. 2. Serious financial support for settlers in the Far East. The peasants received good money, with which they could cut down a house, buy utensils and livestock, horses. 3. Participation of the state in this extensive program. Just the creation of a special fleet that transported entire families from Odessa to Vladivostok. 4. Construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
  And now some stupid attempts like the "Far Eastern hectare" that no one needs. Now the state has neither the means, nor the mind, nor the desire in this matter.

    Stupid but high-profile initiative in the media. About 5-10 years ago, for a new program for the development of Siberia and the Far East, there was both money and time, and places to apply efforts (development of copper, coal and other deposits, construction of hydroelectric power stations on the tributaries of the Amur and construction of transport infrastructure), but there were no Stalinist people's commissars. Now it’s too late to dream about it - all the money and free personnel go to the war ... which is still the NWO.
    It is unlikely that it will be possible to fill the Atlantic with our own submarines due to the lack of a sufficient number of them - we love the possibilities of timely repairs of our MAPLs and SSGNs, and there will not be enough available for filling. Is it just to fool around with big risks. For our few MAPLs and SSGNs, it will be much more useful to focus on the defeat of the US coastal and coastal infrastructure with missiles on board with SBS / nuclear warheads. But after that it will be possible to play pranks on communications with their torpedoes against convoys to Europe.

      wow feature films., and you look at Totsk teachings or desert rock. Radiation contamination from nuclear weapons is local in nature, this is not a smoky reactor for you. Humanity experienced the Ice Age lightly back in the Stone Age. The eruption of Krakatau is estimated at 100-200 megatons, which is about 3 times more than the Ohio salvo at the maximum performance of 475 Kt, 8 heads per rocket. In total, some agglomerations and industries of the warring countries will be destroyed. So, globally, nothing much will change for the planet Earth.

  Alas, colleague ... "the balance of fear" is fading into history. Today, the Anglo-Saxons are increasingly promoting the idea of "limited nuclear war" in the theater (the continent). Naturally, not in North American! And they don’t feel sorry for Europ-p-p-pu at all ... From the word - not at all! And fake propaganda is doing its best! And this is a direct danger to the world: even nuclear winter will not come, and after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki they have become even better, and in the Chernobyl zone everything is booming ... - and there is nothing to be afraid of ... They will die, but not all! The English, full-time and shaved, hope to survive after all.
  But for this they dream of reducing (by "mutual reduction" ... Hmm) our strategic nuclear weapons to 700 units. (who hope to intercept their missile defense). But first, to deliver a global preemptive strike against our strategic nuclear forces with their KR-KRBD. And for this, it is necessary to neutralize our NSNF, that is, ARPK SN, which have ROPs .... including under the ice of the Arctic Ocean ... And with the advent of the 955A project, this has become much more difficult to implement ...
  And then there are the Sarmatians on the way ... shooting through the UP (Tracks over the Himalayas, where the Yankees do not have an early warning missile defense system, well, unless, of course, you count the space train, which is still only in the plans ...)
  And then there are those Russians, damn it! some kind of POSEIDON was put into service ... Well, a completely unchildish sadness was drawn ... Sad for Uncle Sam and John Bull becomes from such a prospect ...
  So

  I would even say - very much not in our favor. Especially in NC. Even China, which now has a navy larger than the US, is not strong enough to butt heads with the US Navy. Striking power, landing and aircraft carrier capabilities are not comparable. And China also does not have a technical and technological advantage, not to mention the training of sailors. even talking about our capabilities is ridiculous.
  So one should admit an unpleasant fact - the American fleet is cool enough and no one in the world can resist it now.

    The number of our nuclear submarines is too small to work competently.
    There are really too few of them.
    And that's just the fork.
    Either we, with our nuclear submarines, guard our bases and our SSBNs, not being able to go to the position areas of American, British, French SSBNs.
    For we are going there, leaving our SSBNs and our bases defenseless.
    And SSBNs in the Mediterranean in general have always been without our observation for the past 30 years.

I didn’t understand about atomic potentials and submarines. It seems like there is always something on duty. It seems that at the beginning of a vigorous war in about half an hour, there will be nuclear ashes everywhere. Or flood the oceans with submarines to grind from above? Were the craters deeper?
