The U.S. Secretary of defense raises nuclear stakes

 

It’s not even nonsense, and not Orwell, that’s a whole other planet. Get the strong feeling the beginning of training information to the incident with a nuclear weapon.

 

Министр обороны США повышает ядерные ставкиThe Pentagon believes the most likely possibility is a large-scale nuclear war, and the use of Russian or DPRK’s small nuclear Arsenal. This was stated Monday during a speech at an air force base Minot (North Dakota) U.S. Secretary of defense Ashton Carter. According to Carter, the US cannot allow this to happen, and because working with allies on developing new methods of strengthening the regime of nuclear deterrence

No, in General, Ashton Carter describes the picture correctly. His words “…to try to force the opponent with great potential in conventional weapons, to give up or to abandon an ally in times of crisis…” is quite understandable. Only, as usual, is perverted to the full obratnoi. The U.S. is losing leadership status and nothing to do with it. Economic, political and military trump card is lost.

The world’s largest carrier fleet is “no longer Rola”. Yet despite the continuing global financial dominance of money in the budget for a million-strong army is not enough, and 460 thousand land forces for overwhelming military superiority on the planet is too small.

Yes there in the world, American troops are not enough to ensure an overwhelming superiority in any single region. Even against obviously inferior militarily and technically Iraq, with his army in 389 thousand soldiers and officers, in 2003 it took America to deploy land group of 225 thousand and 7 carrier strike groups of the 14 in existence in the U.S. Navy.

Today, the main adversary of the US is Russia, which has an army the size of 700 thousand people, of which 380 thousand in the army. If you compare her actual combat capability of Iraqi, sample 2003, the figures should be multiplied by 5, if not 7. The armed forces superior not only according to the degree of technical equipment, but also on the training, the level of command, and moral-psychological qualities. A simple calculation shows that against THESE 700 thousand U.S. needs to stand in front of their own army, not less than 1.5 million bayonets.

To implement this, the Pentagon, given the logistical, training, and other components, must have at least 2.5 – 3 million “military”. For, in addition to the war with the Russians in Europe, America needs to keep forces in other regions, including its own territory. But there is only 15% of the required number.

About the troops of other NATO countries can not even remember. There it goes to the fact that in 5 years the most numerous and capable in Europe will be the army of Poland. That Poland itself, which loudly demanded the US to send to protect it at least a couple of infantry brigades. Trump is not just in his campaign speeches voiced the idea on whether to start charging the Europeans price to pay for protection. Because the real value of their military support of the United States “in which case” around zero values.

In short, the US are in the same situation, which is so vividly and graphically described their Minister of defense. American global hegemony based on military force as the last trump card, able to kill any combination. Or you agree to our terms or to visit you in the morning look in the us Marines and paratroopers. The choice is yours. Here are today’s hegemonic ambitions, Washington has remained, even grew stronger, but as it turns out, the military strength of America is not the ones. And it’s like a cold shower for the hotheads of the American ruling elite. Suddenly the US were faced with an opponent who… “has great potential in conventional arms…“. Incidentally, not only in the usual. With nuclear it is also all right.

The mind then America would cost to reduce the temperature and to lower the ambition, but the crown on the head does not allow. Like America, and really need to, no matter what, Russia retreated. First of all, in the middle East. Namely, in Syria. So she threw ally in times of crisis. What you will need for this steps is not particularly important. In Ukraine to this end, they quietly shot down a civilian airliner. Of course not with your hands directly, but essentially it does not change. To their great regret of the expected result of the provocation is not given, and the geopolitical confrontation with Russia escalates and the situation requires some “more drastic steps”.

Ukraine has already lost. And in the case of Syria is clearly a similar outcome. Assad will certainly not win fast, is too complex there current situation, but what is even dependent on the United States Barmaley reverence to America shrunk to a critically low level – it is obvious. And the field of opportunities to give opponents different diplomatic evasions, the type of joint committees on ceasefire and extraordinary sessions of the UN, is shrinking every day. And, frankly, judging by the results of the extraordinary session of the noodles, too, no longer brings results. Russian is actually directly stated that they would multiply by zero “on the other side of the front line” all Barmaley indiscriminately. And there are quite barmaleich, and yet moderate and not very Barmaley, this is a personal problem of one of Washington.

In General, all as always. And even in trying to pass the responsibility from a sick head on healthy – too. USA defeated Libya under the loud statements about the need to save the world from the escalating threat of international terrorism. The United States defeated Iraq under the same song about saving the planet from a terrible maniac, preparing literally just about to use a weapon of mass destruction. And today defense Secretary Ashton Carter suddenly terribly concerned with the threat “…of the use by Russia or North Korea a small nuclear Arsenal…“.

It seems that the US political leadership somewhere in the margins has come to the conclusion that in the current international situation, America could use some “Gleiwitz incident”, only with nuclear weapons. Apparently, the US rates increase.
