The US’ capabilities for waging conventional warfare have been eroded by “endless guerilla wars,” Stanislav Krapivnik believes.
US troops deployed to Ukraine to prop up Kiev in its conflict with Russia would end up being “wiped out,” former US Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik told RT on Thursday.
The US military in its current state is not fit to take on Russia in a conventional war, Krapivnik argued. Even in the Cold War era, the whole of NATO would have only been able to slow down a potential advance of the Soviet bloc rather than launch an all-out ground assault against it, he said.
“If you listen to rational experts in the West, they’ll tell you, yes, the US Army is in no position right now – the US Army has never been in a position to take on Russia on the ground. For NATO, as a whole, during the height of the Cold War, the mission was first and foremost to block the Warsaw Pact forces and buy time, no kind of any massive offensive,” Krapivnik explained.
Since then, the warfighting capabilities of the collective West have greatly deteriorated, largely due to the military endeavors the US itself undertaken in the past decades, he suggested.
“Right now, it’s much worse. The endless wars that America has been fighting, the endless guerilla wars have totally sapped America’s capability to fight a conventional war. They are trying to up it right now, but it takes a lot of time to rebuild your forces,” Krapivnik stated.
The ex-US Army officer also touched upon recent media reports that should US President Joe Biden be reelected, he, or “the collective Biden, whoever actually makes the decisions” could send American troops to Ukraine.
“The problem is, that the people in Washington, the Biden regime is absolutely devoid of any sense of reality,” Krapivnik said. While the idea is bound to result in a crushing defeat for the US military, such a deployment cannot not be ruled out entirely, he suggested.
“This is totally devoid of reality. The US Army is going to get wiped out, if they are going to Ukraine.”
The American Military is now hiring using DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) rather than merit. As if that is not bad enough, some branches use CRT (Critical Race Theory) as part of the induction to tell “White people” that they are racist because they are white. Who would want to serve if on day one you get told you are a racist for just enrolling, and day two you get killed for your country that hates you because you are white?
Although Black and Hispanic recruitment figures for the last few years have remained more or less constant, White recruitment is down by almost half. This is a massive shortfall in recruitment as White people make of 64 percent of the US population.
In terms of air superiority, they use F35’s which although very capable, have lots of “down time” and are expensive to purchase and repair. The F22 Raptor is no longer manufactured but is a good aircraft. At least they have the common sense to continue development of the F15 Eagle with the F15EX and have not yet cancelled the A10 Warthog despite politicians trying to.
The western population is not used to hardship any more. To forge resistance. Neither eat plain unadultared food, the basis for an healthy body ( and mind).
Nobody walks miles at and end to have strong hart and guts.
The decline and decay has started
Just imagine all those high heels and platform shoes getting stuck in snow and mud, the worse kind of inclusivity…not to mention those rainbow helmets, a snipers dream…..and God forbid supply chains of soy milk and the like, are disrupted……….
and coke, xtc or what ever…..
Big mistake to try to fight Russia. The US can only attack Russia on soil of Russia’s own choosing against soldiers who are deeply imbibed with sense of patriotism and pride yanks haven’t felt for their own country in decades.
The backbone any such assault, the UK, has lost its spine due to the weakness and selfishness of their own politicians and the dilution of the British people through illegal migration.
No one has successfully invaded Russia in the past. It’s not going to happen in the future.
