US Generals: War with Russia will be quick, deadly and almost inevitable Senior US generals believe that a military conflict with China or Russia without the use of nuclear weapons is “practically guaranteed.” However, they note that it will be "fast and deadly", as well as the largest in scale over the past 60 years, writes The Independent. Major General William Hicks noted that artificial intelligence and automated weapon systems will accelerate future military conflicts. “The speed with which machines can make decisions in the distant future will challenge our ability to control them, which will require the development of new relations between man and machine,” Hicks said.
 The general also noted that the technological advances of Russia and China forced the White House to prepare for "military operations of such proportions that the US Ground Forces have not encountered since the Korean War."
 In turn, the Deputy Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Lieutenant General Joseph Anderson, said that countries "acting aggressively in militarized competition" pose an existential threat to the United States. “What country can be described like this? Russia? ”Added Anderson.
 And the Chief of Staff of the US Land Forces, General Mark Milli, said that such a war was "practically guaranteed." He also noted that the opponents of the United States can put an end to the superiority of the United States in the air, and also prevent the naval forces from reaching the battlefield. And because the ground forces will have to create the conditions for the use of the Navy and Air Force.
 In addition, they must be ready for combat operations in cyberspace, and also to fight without satellite communications and navigation systems to which they are so used and take them for granted, Milli said.

US threatens Russia, Putin laughs at the threat

Officially. Russia confirmed that it is preparing for war with the United States.Andrei Belousov, deputy head of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control at the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that Russia is preparing for a defensive war with the United States. He said this at a meeting of the UN General Assembly Committee, reports TASS.
“Here, at a meeting recently, the United States declared that Russia is preparing for war. Yes, Russia is preparing for war, I confirm this, ”he said after the UN voted against the consideration of the Moscow resolution in support of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Short-Range Missiles (INF). He stressed that Moscow will protect the territorial integrity, principles and population of the country.Belousov added that there is a huge difference between Russia and the United States. "And in linguistic terms, this difference is only one word, that in Russian, that in English: the Russian Federation is preparing for war, and the United States is preparing a war," he said. According to him, US intentions can be judged by the decision to withdraw from the treaty, build up the nuclear potential and adopt a new nuclear doctrine.Earlier, Belousov admitted that he did not understand the position of the members of the committee of the General Assembly.On October 21, Trump announced that Washington would withdraw from the INF Treaty, which was signed in 1987 by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan. According to Trump, Moscow is violating the treaty, and the United States "will develop weapons until Russia and China agree to a new deal."
