American general: Russia poses the most serious military danger
Russia represents the most serious military danger for the United States, said Chief of Staff of the US Army, General Ray Odierno, at a press briefing.
According to the general, Russia is the most dangerous of all potential opponents of the United States. He cited several reasons, among them the statements of Moscow about dissatisfaction with how the situation developed after the Cold War and the relatively high level of Russian operations in Ukraine.
At the same time, one of the highest-ranking American military is “seriously” worried by the prospect that Moscow will be tempted and will violate the sovereignty of the Baltic countries, not realizing that such actions will force NATO to defend its defensive allies.
“Russia constantly evaluates the reaction of NATO to its actions,” said General Odierno. - I am worried about the possibility of miscalculation on her part. She can assume that NATO is not so worried about her behavior, and she will make a mistake, miscalculate. ”
Ray Odierno said it was necessary for the United States to be ready to promptly increase its military presence in the region in the event of a crisis.
In recent months, several high-ranking American generals have named Russia as the main threat to US security.
