Russia in the short term is a large military threat to the United States and Europe than the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Deputy Minister of Defense of the United States Colin Kal at the Baltic Military Conference, Deputy Minister of Defense, was published on the Pentagon website.
According to a military official, now the “global landscape” of security changes on the planet faster than the entire period after the Second World War, and for Washington, the issue of competition with other geopolitical players is becoming most acute. “At the same time, unions, institutions, agreements and international norms underlying this international system are exposed to ever more serious tests, more than ever before,” evaluated the situation of Cal.
He predicted that in the next few years, Russia will only increase its global influence, playing a “subversive role” on the world arena and trying to make a discord into the unity of Western countries. “Too often, Moscow undermines transparency and predictability, uses military power to achieve its goals, supports puppet groups to sow chaos and doubts,” assured the deputy minister.
At the same time, the representative of the command stressed that the ability to resume a constructive dialogue with Moscow remains, but this requires the desire of the Russian authorities to reduce the heat of strategic competition. “NATO, of course, is the basis of solid transatlantic safety and the stronghold of our common values of democracy, personal freedom and the rule of law,” he believes.
Previously, the commentator The National Interest John Rossando predicted the United States “The worst military defeat” since the Second World War. As Rosssando noted, the United States is now a “paper tiger”, as France was before the invasion of Hitler’s Germany. “They are similar to the French military who fought in 1940, using the outdated approaches of the First World War,” he summarized.
