The U.S. Army’s chief of staff is warning that the threats posed by China and Russia are on the rise.
Gen. Mark Milley told the House Armed Services Committee Tuesday that “international order, and by extension the United States’ interest, are under increasing and dangerous pressure.”
“China is a significant threat to the United States,” he added, calling Beijing “a revisionist power seeking to diminish the U.S.”
He also warned of the increasing threat of Russia’s influence not just in the Western Hemisphere but around the world, backed by the Kremlin’s massive nuclear capabilities.
“Russia remains the only current existential threat to the United States,” Gen. Milley told the committee. “It will become, in my opinion, increasingly opportunistic and … take greater risks in the near term.”
Just some of America’s 800 global military bases. In contrast Russia operates military bases in nine countries — eight former Soviet republics (Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) plus a naval facility in Syria. These NATO bases clustered around Russia are obviously to contain the existential threat it poses the U.S.. Click to enlarge
“The Empire of Greed, Vanity and Conceit is running out of stupid accusations and hollow threats, its economic warfare has been a dismal failure, and all that’s left is to “go kinetic”…. We used to say: “go ballistic”…
With lasers and other high power electromagnetic weapons that can fry you in your car as you try to outrun a forest fire that doesn’t burn trees…it is clear that the real enemies of the people are the sick freaks who have been devastating minds with lies and waging a war on intelligence, sanity, morality, honesty and the truth about everything that matters, especially since september 11 2001..

“This takes me to the Saker’s analysis. One cannot reason with the parasitic entities currently occupying the Western societies. These creatures don’t care that their “own” population could be buried in this war. This would be their exact goal. They don’t care about any industrial damages – because there is almost nothing left anyway. I think the parasites already found another host. They just want to incinerate as many people as
possible and the evidence of past crimes. That is the only reasonable conclusion I can come to.

As Saker has tried to penetrated the iron dome-heads of DC with this article, the Russians have been attempting to convince the US leadership that Russia is for real and won’t back down in Syria, Ukraine or face-to-face for all the marbles and chips.
The US battle internally, “the war among the elites”, as Putin, Lavrov and Russian analysts describe the daily show against Trump and his MAGA voters, is hiding the imminent danger of swaggering across common sense zones of separation and terminating pipelines of communication between leaders of both nations and the militaries and
diplomatic corps.

Hi dear Saker,
All the west needs is patiently help nudge in the atlanticists in power in Russia or at least help them keep the Russian camp divided and paralyzed, and keep control over the Russian central bank and media; and all Russian military hardware would be useless.
What good is your analysis if you don’t take this aspect into consideration.
Thanks

Quoting from a commentator (common ‘tater): “There are things Russia cannot influence. American stupidity, arrogance and hubris could make a fatal mistake.”
I am often in contact with “average” Americans who are, like the neo-cons and their ilk, stupid, arrogant and full of hubris. They have been dumbed down to the point that nothing Russia does, or can do, cuts through their belief in exceptionalism and a gawd-given right to rule the world.
THAT is what is scary. No counter balance to the ‘leadership’ class …

@rg
You make the very valid point that ”They /the Pindos/ have been dumbed down to the point
that nothing Russia does, or can do, cuts through their belief in exceptionalism and a gawd-given right to rule the world.”
To get the full picture, the key is to realize that the Pindo fantasy about being exceptional and indispensable is but an ideological frill of militant parasites. Pindos are an unbearable burden on the planet and they know it. Their material standards of living would drop
enormously without the proceeds of imperialism, and they are in such an abysmal state as a people that they have zero chance of survival, so they prefer to hold on to the untenable status quo.

An apt description of the zio west world would be a person who pats themselves on the back so often, and with such enthusiasm, that they end up breaking their own backs.

US Military? Idiots and promoting by shouting in this way themselves for a good job with fat pay by their future Military Industrial Complex employer.
It is clear all these armchair-, saloon- and clown-generals are paving the way for their own position in MIC when retired.
Iin Westpoint the graduated “soldiers” gave a pledge to serve America.
America wake up! Your generals are not honestly serving the country.
IMO these warmongering-idiots, still dreaming of WWII-style battlefields but now against “evil” Russia.
Evil Russia?
Yes, AIPAC-government with CFR and The Cabal have told them so (warpropaganda).
You missed Diego Garcia and Ascension Island, plus a few others.
There is only one warmongering nation on Earth, namely, the United States of America. There is only one serious threat on planet Earth, the growing arrogance, stupidity and greed of the American political class.
With its closeted cabal controlling the White House, the USA is now a pseudo autocracy. Democracy in the USA is dead, and has been dead since Eisenhower’s warning of the “Industrial Military Complex.”
There can be no bright future for the world, until the American problem is dealt with, and that means, there has be a very bloody and painful reckoning with the USA and the rest of the world. The USA is going to continue to bully its way into every corner of the Earth. To continue stealing resources, like oil, to fund its ever disastrous economy.
The United States of America are acting like pirates on the world stage. Sometime in the future, they will have to be dealt with, but the cost will be very great. Alas, the future holds a very bloody reckoning for humanity, just to stop the USA from strangling the life out of the rest of the world.
Yes, the rest of world will have brought this onto themselves with their selfishness and greed. Man never learns.
The US has not only got the Dumbest government in History, They have also got the Dumbest Military on the Planet
Is there any thinking adult left in our free western democracies ??
We seem to be ruled by small children with special needs ??
I don’t want to call them retarded monkeys ?? Don’t want to insult monkeys ??
What a bunch of US idiots!
