China Joining Russia In Syria While Germany Prepares to Leave NATO In Advance of World War III
David Ochmanek,
who, as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy, stated on
Monday that “Russia’s future looked to be increasingly integrated with
the West.” That statement is no longer true. In fact, not only is Russia
a growing threat to United States security, a series of Pentagon war
games has revealed that the United States cannot defeat a Putin led
Russia, given the present set of circumstances.
Pentagon War Games Spells Bad News for the U.S. Military
The Pentagon, along with other Defense Department planners, have come
to a frightening realization. The U.S. military routinely comes up on
the losing end of any conflict with Russian troops, Foreign Policy (FP)
reported Monday. Russian superiority is not limited to any one theater
of action. America’s ineptitude spans the entire globe.
The present analysis is simultaneously following along two track.
One set of scenarios has focused in on what the U.S. could do as part of
NATO, if Russia were to launch an offensive against an alliance
member(s). The other scenario examined what actions the U.S. could
hypothetically take outside the NATO sphere of influence. Both plans
scenarios focuses on Russian incursions into the Baltic States, as this
is the most likely scenario.
In addition, planners are not focusing solely on traditional warfare
but on so-called “hybrid” tactics Moscow used to infiltrate and take
Crimea in the Russian take over of the are. Accompanying this scenario
include the use unaffiliated operatives and forces, manufactured
protests and, of course, elements of cyberwarfare, where the U.S. is woefully weak.
