How Russians and Chinese Will Win America

68
If armed conflicts begin in Europe, Russia will be able to respond quickly and effectively to Western forces. First of all, the Russians will seize the Baltic states in a couple of days, and NATO simply will not have time to "argue", since the speed is not the same and the tactical skills of the Russians are better. Secondly, the leading force of NATO, the US Army, in Europe has only two brigades. Third, American fighters will have to fight, probably without air support: after all, the Russians have powerful air defense systems. Fourthly, Moscow is able to fight using electronic means, cyber war and hybrid warfare. Fifth, she has a nuclear weapon. And sixthly, America will have to digress for China.



As the columnist L. Thompson writes in a journal "Forbes"“Since Russia has invaded Ukraine in 2014 year and seized control of the Crimea, Pentagon strategists are trying to figure out how to cope with the further seizure of the territories by Moscow.”

Western strategists are most concerned about the assumption of the coming Russian offensive on the three Baltic countries - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (these are the only former areas of the Soviet Union that joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the author reminds, and therefore other members of the alliance are obliged to protect them).

According to internal estimates of the Pentagon, the Russian military will be able to occupy the Baltic States within 2 or 3 days. That is, long before NATO could give an agreed response.

In general, the observer believes, given the proximity of the Russian troops and the lack of natural barriers for a potential enemy, the entire eastern flank of the alliance is vulnerable to invasion.

There is another problem with NATO: after the “invasion” of the Russians into Ukraine, Western strategists do not undertake to predict how Russian leader Vladimir Putin will act.

As a result, the likelihood of a new war in Europe has become the most important agenda and one of the priority tasks requiring resolution.

The observer spoke with a number of high-ranking military officials and realized that the US Army would not be able to stop the rapid advance of Russian forces to the west. Under certain circumstances, Putin will even be able to defeat NATO forces and disrupt the fragile European political order established after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The author of the article in Forbes highlighted some of the advantages that the Russian army has.

1. Russia has enormous geographical advantages in the European war due to its proximity, penetration depth and ability to control the key bottlenecks of the front.

2. The West has for many years “neglected” preparations for the high-tech threat. For fifteen years, the Western Allies have been fighting against the “rebels” in South-West Asia, with irregular forces, and with IS fighters. And to a much lesser extent, Western soldiers are ready to fight an enemy armed tanks, artillery and assault aviation. And the amount of equipment in the West is not the same. And the number of soldiers decreased: of the US army units stationed in Europe, only two brigades remained.

3. Russia often conducts military exercises near the eastern borders of Estonia, Ukraine and other nearby states, where it can “invade”.

4. NATO support is unlikely to receive air support. Russian air defense systems in Eastern Europe are so positioned that Western strategists are not sure that their aircraft will be able to support ground forces. Only the SA-21 mobile anti-aircraft missile systems were currently deployed by the total number of more than 150 launchers. With such power, they are able to shoot down any non-hidden aircraft in the airspace of friendly US countries. For example, most of the Polish airspace is potentially within the range of Russian air defense.

5. Conventional weapons in Russia are getting better and better. The Russian army is becoming more professional machine. It got to the point that Western officials believe that the Russian army is better armed and capable of effectively waging a local war, carrying out electronic warfare, cyberwar and using the tactics of a "hybrid war."

6. Finally, Moscow is ready to use even nuclear weapons. Russians have local superiority in tactical nuclear weapons, and Moscow’s military doctrine allows them to be used.

NATO spends a lot of money on “collective defense”, however, the observer believes that the alliance does not seem to be able to “cope with the Russian attack of the West.” Besides, no one knows what Putin can do when he realizes that Washington has been distracted to another point on the globe ...

And we’ll add from this point that it’s not necessary to consider the Middle East, where IG operates. Some experts believe that China is a big threat to the United States.

R. Haddick, senior researcher at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Research and a well-known publicist, in the journal "The National Interest" listed several options for a possible war between the United States and China.

The modernization of the People’s Liberation Army of China and the so-called access blocking strategy, known by the acronym A2 / AD, can lead to complete unpredictability of the confrontation between China and the United States in the South China Sea.

What could cause a war between these major states?

Robert Haddick cites the opinion of historian Jeffrey Blaine (USA). He is convinced that the prerequisite for a dangerous shift in the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region, given the growth of China’s military potential, may be Beijing’s resistance to American navigation patrols at sea. Then there will be contradictions of “operational concepts”. And yet: in other areas that have not yet had large-scale military use, the Chinese are stronger than the Americans.

Here are some of these areas: the use of missile-strike systems, which the Chinese have built on the basis of the Soviet developments of the last years of the Cold War. The intelligence complexes of the PRC include satellite tracking, air-based detection systems, anti-ship and long-range ballistic missiles. In such systems, China is higher than the United States. China has a complete superiority in the number of operational-tactical missiles, since Washington has no such missiles. In the arsenal of anti-ship warheads, the Chinese also have superiority.

True, it is difficult to judge the effectiveness of Beijing’s actions in the battle against the enemy’s mobile and defended targets, the expert believes. After all, the United States can use aircraft carriers in wars. In 1996, Bill Clinton’s decision to send two aircraft carrier groups to the Taiwan Strait forced Beijing to back down. However, it was precisely this retreat that led the PRC to the idea of ​​developing the A2 / AD strategy mentioned above. And the inability of US carrier strike groups to respond adequately to a future threat will lead the United States to a catastrophe.

In addition, since the end of the last century, US military experts have been worried about the threat of a Chinese missile attack on ground targets and naval bases of the United States and its allies in the western Pacific. China has the opportunity to disable American bases in Japan, South Korea and others. It must be remembered that there is a certain difficulty in supporting a large number of sorties from geographically dispersed small bases.

Finally, protection from satellite systems for collecting intelligence from a potential enemy. Both sides know how to use technology for intelligence and information gathering. And no one knows whether it is possible to use “cyber weapons” in order to penetrate the enemy’s command system, and then to attack the detection and guidance systems.

The geographical position also speaks in favor of the PRC. The Chinese will fight on their territory. China has much more bases compared to the locations of the US expeditionary force.

On the other hand, the regional allies of the United States may be useful in gathering information in the uncertain conditions of a new type of war.

However, the expert does not believe that the war will start right tomorrow. Today, he writes, Chinese and American military strategists and politicians are likely to agree on the balance of power in the western Pacific. But what will happen later? With current disagreements, the danger of conflict increases significantly.

It seems that the number of alleged "military opponents" of the United States is growing rapidly. And it's not about the "IG" and other terrorist groups, but about China and Russia.

According to foreign analysts, in the event of an invasion of the Baltic countries, the Russian army will be able to achieve quick success. Some two or three days, and the former Soviet republics will go to Putin. NATO machine during this time will not even gather their strength. The Kremlin can wait for the right moment when the US is distracted by another military event, and attack Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

The right moment may be the US sea conflict with China. Speaking about the likely confrontation, analysts point to the growing power of the Middle Kingdom. If US aircraft carrier groups cannot cope with the PLA, which will use all the benefits of its geographic location, America will face a "catastrophe."

          This is necessary for us in order to break through the blockade of V. Prussia, because Lithuania, due to unreasonableness and shaving perception, has blocked the railway communication. A similar scenario was in the Crimea with electricity, rail and road transport. Kaliningrad is the land with which Russia directly threatens London with our latest systems, and Germany, BeniLux and Polish meat are simply pistols at the temple. Thanks to the Crimea and Königsberg, their whole concept of dropping the Rus to the East is void especially considering the missile systems ... So the blockade of these enclaves is organized, but it is impossible to strangle without a sea blockade, and this again is unrealistic and the calibers of diesel engines and small missiles can now be in London and it’s not necessary to gasp from the berth, as Marineske breaks through nets and mines, and the enclaves themselves will be smuggled into the rear with aviation and navy blockers. Whether the Britons do not know this, they are angry and are invading their Pekingese.

          I understand that I want to have a large audience. This can be achieved if released in the format of a policy for children. Rating will be to heaven.
          But since the tasks of the site are somewhat different, I suspect you can limit yourself simply to the widest possible audience.
          I have an offer for the site organizers.
          To expand the topic a bit by adding 2-3 groups (for example: It's interesting, Voynushka and One grandmother said) and drop all the articles of a general nature for blah blah there. To communicate with loyal attendees.
          In the remaining groups, enter the qualification.
          Firstly, on the quality of the material, carefully sifting out the oil, the well-known (filling all this valuable analytical material into newly created groups) from deep or highly specialized.
          Secondly, moderators work in mode 2, cutting off empty comments or in no way related to the topic. Here, of course, without fanaticism, a sense of humor must be present

          That's how I think so. Type every peasant woman! wink hi

        The question is - and what for do the Baltics need? What is it of interest, apart from the Russian population, and even in order to use the military contingent to "capture" these territories? bully

        For me, this is more of a bike for domestic consumption, business and politics: the Hollywood image of the "terrible Russian bear" is very profitably exchanged by the Americans for specific military orders, economic and political preferences. Naturally, everything happens with the support of purchased local elites.

        Not necessary. And in order to put NATO in its place, I think Russia doesn’t need the Baltic states ..... the miserable mini-armies of the European Union will never trample on us, and the United States will not be able to wage a continental war against the Russian Federation due to its geographical location (excluding nuclear weapons) so in spite of all the situation, in spite of all the fuss of Europe, they perfectly understand the consequences of the armed conflict with Russia.

      For some reason, Western strategists do not explain why "hordes of Russian barbarians" will burst through the Baltic states, everything is just like in the 30s. Whoever publicly "worries" more about the beginning of the war, and even names the direction of the main strike in Europe, is actually planning it.

      All these things are obvious, lying on the surface, since they are in the media. Rather, the alleged. I would like to look back three years ago, then, suddenly, I drew attention to the increasing patriotic rhetoric. Films about the Second World War (usually before May 9th), about the modern army, and about the conflicts in which we took part began to be broadcast on TV. My wife even asked me then, what are they preparing us for? Further, the permanent exercises of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, at sea, in the air, on the ground, the development of air defense, an increase in monetary allowance in the Armed Forces, to pensioners of the Armed Forces (mobile resource). Air defense, airborne forces, navy, tactical missiles have already begun to show their results. But after all, there was still a tank biathlon, it seems to be out of work)). Such a course of the current development of events was clearly assumed, even more so, they were intensively preparing for it, preparing secretly and explicitly. They were prepared on the basis of information that was not available to us (about three years ago). Once prepared, then prepared and countermeasures. We see the obvious measures that are being taken now, which means that we are ready for the further development of events, ready measures that are not visible and inaccessible to us. And where and how they will show themselves, they know a limited circle of people, well, far from those publications that make all kinds of analytical forecasts.

        You judge very superficially what is happening in Russia, well, just like a Western analyst! And the casket just opens if you look at the last, well, at least 200 years, that Russia attacked Europe? Yes, it was not at all like that, a united Europe either in the form of crusaders, then together with the Poles, then under the leadership of Napoleon and Hitler, tried to destroy our country with the whole pack! The motto that "... if you want peace, prepare for war" was not invented by us , but we have to follow it and our happiness is that today at the head of the supreme power of Russia is such a strategist as Vladimir Putin! That is why the West is angry that in the event of aggression against us it will receive such a retaliatory blow, after which the end of Western civilization in the person of Europe will come (which the United States is striving for - "Bolivar cannot bear two!" - after all, this is their main principle of relations with "partners" on business and politics)

      For many years, the West has “neglected” preparations for a high-tech threat. For fifteen years, the Western Allies have been fighting against the "rebels" in South-West Asia, with irregular forces, with the militants of the "IG". And to a much lesser extent, Western soldiers are ready to fight the enemy, armed with tanks, artillery and attack aircraft.


      He wrote about this many times and completely agree with the author. Even the war in Ukraine to a much greater extent shows the struggle of equal opponents using modern weapons than all recent US wars. All of their new and widely advertised tactics and methods of struggle have never been tested in a real war. Contempt for the experience of others, repeatedly demonstrated by them, sooner or later will come sideways.

      There are two questions under the article:
      1) Well, what for do we need the Balts? Let the staff members explain this to us. And then we are going to capture them, but why no one understands. Here's another feed then this horde of Russophobia. This we have already passed, there is no more desire.
      2) Why on earth will China fight with the states? And thereby bring down the multi-billion dollar turnover? There, the economy is also not so hot right now (although it’s not such a bum as ours), but if you also run out of guns so-so-so ... China used to be not seen in such suicidal tendencies, not the French, after all.

      1) 2 aircraft carriers were sent to a strait that is very narrow, blocking this strait leaves Chinese exports to the west (geographical concept) PS: China is now looking for ways to deliver goods to the EU via Central Asia, by land through Pakistan and the Indian Ocean and the Russian North . Not surprisingly, the PRC did not begin to catch up, because the diversification of trade flows and the capabilities of their inexperienced army are too small.
      About China and America
      * The Chinese are looking westward in the mouth and like monkeys imitate everything.
      * The Chinese are economically more dependent on the United States than the United States on China. In case of trouble, the United States will be able to partially produce most of the goods at home, and transfer production to the cheaper and more controlled countries of Southeast Asia, which are silently afraid of China and open their doors to the United States.
      2) why the Baltic countries need the economy of the Russian Federation 6 271 000 content? A sparsely populated territory on which humane combat operations are carried away from large cities of the Russian Federation, why? If in the event of a global war, the Baltic states will fall over the clock?
      3) why does the Russian Federation need a war in Europe? Russia historically does not wage wars without a sharp threat to its borders and "Lebenland".
      4) China will be able to develop its fleet only by 30-50 years to the level of US power.

      If we take into account the wild dependence of China on the United States, despite the fact that the Chinese themselves are not against it, because the US sales market is the most important for them, will there be a conflict between the USA and China in the near future? The answer is unlikely. We are waiting for the PRC to export more to the countries of Africa, Southeast Asia and the EU, and then we can expect impudence in relation to the USA.

Saying we are so weak, powerless, we will not stand more than three days. Well, attack us, give us a reason for a full-scale conflict with NATO, well, become the aggressors. But figs you. We will not fight with you. We are familiar people, we will survive your ssanctions, but the geyrope will be bent. And we will wait until they themselves come and ask. As Woland said there: “Never ask for anything , especially from those who are stronger.

      Colleagues, there is no need to offend American strategists - let them think that Russia is about to rush to conquer the Baltic states. Let them build a new Maginot Line there, splash billions in the sand, etc. But if they really get involved in a fight, it will be in the southern strategic direction - to unblock Crimea, Little Russia and Transnistria. Look, the hesitant Moldova will make up its mind. And next to it is the weakest link of the European Union/NATO - Bulgaria, Hungary, B. Yugoslavia, which absolutely should not be touched so as not to create a legal precedent, and in my opinion they also have their own opinion. And the most convenient ways to transport hydrocarbons are right there, right next door. But as for China, I’m absolutely sure that they won’t get into a mess until the “two tigers” tear each other to pieces. So, friends, think. And I went to eat sprats.

        Russia has only two friends: its army and navy. You will not believe. but in Russia they don’t consider Europeans and Americans as enemies, Russians don’t like that. that these formations have lost fear, and as my friend says: the shores have become confused. They forgot that they cannot communicate with Russia without taking into account its interests.
        Europeans and America are trying to force people to live by their principles. and many in Russia don’t like it (the most striking example is LGBT people; I don’t care about them, but it infuriates me when they impose it).
        How about the fact that many Russians buy housing in China? Does it follow from this that Russia is taking over China?
        If you want to say that there are more Chinese than Russians, I’ll give an example: here we have 1000 rams, and 10 wolves, who has the strength. (Please do not consider this as urapatriatism and an insult to the Chinese).
        You propose to run away from China into the arms of Europe and America, but you don’t think it’s possible to live on your own. without focusing on other countries.
        You approach your assessment of Russia from the point of view of a country that needs to constantly cling to someone.
        By the way, I ask downtime to all Belarusians why you are against one state common with Russia, with one president, one territory.

      Russia has only two friends; this is its army and navy.
      It's right. only two. but this is not your achievement; it is your shame. have such a culture! to have outstanding people who have changed the world! and not have friends around ... this must be able to. Bravo!
      You will not believe. but in Russia they do not consider the enemies of Europeans and Americans
      alas and ah. if Ukrainians are enemies, then what then are Germans / French, etc ...
      now such a joke has appeared - "what do you think? How much will the Kremlin need so that 60% of the Russian population believe that the earth is round and stands on 3 turtles?" There is some truth in this ...
      the most striking example is LGBT people, I don’t care about them, but it infuriates me when I impose it
      in! here it is! How do you feel about gays? I think most of this forum will say that it is negative, that this is bad and that this should not happen. Yes. agree. it shouldn’t and I generally share this point of view
      But there is such a moment... Look at it from the other side. Non-standard orientation is present in society, whether you like it or not. It’s just that in Russia it’s not customary to advertise this. According to various estimates, such people are up to 15% (who thinks). Those. I want to say yes! let me be branded, but even among this forum there are these representatives. They are definitely a minority. So here it is. Idzem further. Human rights have reached such a level that it is possible to raise the issue of not only the equality of men and women (whether you are white or black, what nationality), but also people like this, so that they can openly talk about their inclinations (I still don’t understand why this is necessary , but this is another question which, by the way, deserves a separate discussion). This is just a look from a different point of view, try to abstract yourself. Maybe it’s all about human rights and their development?
      Another point is what the media shows. I had friends in Berlin during the homosexual parade. they show one thing on TV, but in fact everything is a little different (in their words, this is an ordinary music festival, only a weird party gathers on the side)
      One more moment, the second already. What do you know about Europe? Well, besides the fact that there are homosexuals there? Have you been there? why do I have any associations with the EU, but not homosexuals winked
      How about the fact that many Russians buy housing in China?
      Strange... I thought they would understand me with this question...

        Friends ended in '92. Now only interests, like England, are very convenient. You and I probably have different concepts of friendship; there are no friends in politics.
        What kind of enemies are Ukrainians if in the Russian Federation they hide from mobilization and work to feed their families? And those countries that you call have such an attitude, they have interests different from the interests of Russia. What kind of enemies they are.

      There is strength in truth! (c); If the sheep have a smart shepherd, they will simply trample these wolves. So it’s more a question of who has the “cooler” shepherd.
      You propose to run away from China into the arms of Europe and America, but you don’t think it’s possible to live on your own. without focusing on other countries.
      Here! good idea! But here you can’t just write an article, here you can open a portal for disputes. in short, it sounds like this: There are two countries in the world that can be self-sufficient, i.e. do not depend on other countries, these are the states and Russia (let's leave the Chinese alone). These countries have all the necessary natural resources, everything needed to produce everything necessary. Moreover, there are people who can and know how to work. Now to the point, if everything is clear with the states, then the Muscovites have questions. HOW??? with such resources to be on the outskirts of life?? why, if Japan had such resources, the Yen would be the world’s reserve currency and they would dictate their own rules, but today’s Russia is far from even them. The answer, by the way, is obvious, but I will be branded again if I begin to encroach on what is sacred for every patriot of Russia
      You approach your assessment of Russia from the point of view of a country that needs to constantly cling to someone.
      Not really. this country can be self-sufficient. there are all the necessary resources for this. But there’s no head, what’s it like according to Zadornov? force without vector. And now a terrible time is approaching. Alas, my country is strongly tied to yours (largely thanks to one person). And this will definitely come back to haunt us. We will answer for our 20 years of silence.
      By the way, I ask downtime to all Belarusians why you are against one state common with Russia, with one president, one territory.
      Ahahahaha !! this "union state" (with a small letter) was created by consumer goods with the aim of taking the throne in Muscovy. nothing more and nothing less. It didn't work out to sit on the throne. the project was closed. there are some kind of body movements, but in many ways they do not go further than TV screens. (by the way, it is also a very indicative fact - the EU is the same age as the CIS. Where is the EU now and where is the CIS (the union state)? It's just too much to consider economic issues, otherwise they will now be bombarded with migrants ...)
      Well, and most importantly - what for? We definitely don’t need this (alas, if we develop the topic, then I’m being branded here for the third time). By the way, foreigners who have been here and there say that we are different smile . similar only in appearance. To be fair, it should be noted that joining the EU at breakneck speed would also be absurd.

You should study education, and then compare Japan and Russia, and talk other nonsense, and dream about Europe and other ideal countries. Regarding the economic differences between the Russian Federation and Europe. Europe is different.
        If the Russian Federation is so bad, why are Belarusians coming here in droves?
        When Belarusians come to the Russian Federation, they assimilate and then do not differ from the inhabitants of the region in which they live, within about 2-3 years.
        I have always been surprised by people who consider the USA and Europe to be the standard.
        Your opuses can be addressed to the USA and Europe.
