Five reasons why the U.S. will lose a war with Russia

Western analysts and military experts are not tired to argue on the topic of confrontation between the North Atlantic Alliance headed by the USA and Russia. Modeling a different kind of hypothetical situation clashes with the Russian army, and the probability of full-scale conflict, experts often agree on one thing – the United States does not actually have the chance to win.

If such a war starts, it is obvious that the lion’s share of the fighting will take place in Europe. In this case, the US will have to give up the fight all the forces of the military unit, two thirds of which are owned by resource America. Obviously, these forces will be insufficient, however, reduced the U.S. military presence in the Old world – is not the main cause of adverse outcome for Washington.

The rearmament of the Russian army

A comprehensive program of rearmament of the Russian army to date has made the structure the most capable, ever. By equipping the separate armed forces of the Russian Federation is well ahead of the USA, and obsolete weapons, the disposal of the Alliance in Europe, and does not compete with the Russian equipment.

The geographical position

To strengthen technical Park, USA will have to spend a lot of time and money for the delivery of weapons to Europe. And here the important geographical factor. Eastern Europe is washed by the seas, in which you can enter only by narrow Straits. Therefore, Russia will not be difficult to establish a dominant position both on water and on land and to be fully prepared by the time of the arrival of US troops.

The US army is critically not ready

American armed forces have only two fixed teams in Europe. By that time, as to these troops the reinforcements are coming, the Russian army simply crush them and then do the same with the gain, which, in fact, does not increase, and will take the place of the defeated units. In addition, a significant part of the U.S. army, and all can be cut from the theater of operations, and the aircraft is neutralized by modern Russian air defense system, which is the most advanced on the planet.

The allies will not come to the rescue

In the event of a conflict, most likely, the opposition will not go beyond the borders of the Baltic countries and Ukraine. However, many Western States are reluctant to intervene no neighbors to the East, nor even for the Western patron. In this case, the States will fail to reach even the numerical advantage, and given the fact that technical superiority will initially be on the side of Russia.

Washington fears the escalation of the conflict

Naturally, the escalation of the conflict, namely expanding the range of weapons used to nuclear – the most unfavourable outcome for the world. However, in this case, given that Russia is superior to the West in all aspects of equipping nuclear forces and units of missile defence, radical change of the concept of war is clearly on the side of Russia. Neither Washington, nor one of the European capitals not ready to call for a nuclear strike.

According to experts, Russia in any scenario to win the war in Europe, the question is only one – how long it will take time. According to some Western analytical centers, Russia could decide the outcome of the conflict in Europe in just a week.
