War in Ukraine is just a warm -up, a big crisis is approaching - US Admiral

According to Charles Richard, soon the world will have to undergo a check that was not available for a long time. The head of the Strategic Command of the US Armed Forces Admiral Charles Richard believes that the world is threatening the approach of a major conflict. The words of the high -ranking military American passes the edition of The Wall Street Journal. "The Ukrainian crisis in which we are now is just a warm -up. The big crisis is just approaching," Richard says.

The US Admiral fears that the world will soon face a check that has not been available for a long time. Russia's military aggression against Ukraine has demonstrated the loss of the United States of military restraint, the journalists of the publication say. At the same time, Richard, commenting on the US's ability to ban China, noted that "the ship is slowly drowning. " In his opinion, Washington learned to act quickly. "They [China] place their forces faster than we do it.

As this difference increases, it will not matter how good our commanders are," the Admiral said. At the same time, the United States retains an advantage in the field of underwater fleet. "Perhaps this is the only real asymmetric advantage we still have," Richard added. However, he believes that even this advantage may disappear if America does not accelerate the pace to solve maintenance problems and start the construction of new submarines.

According to the officer, even the construction of three Virginia submarines for a year would be a good beginning. "Previously, we were able to move quickly, but we lost this art," the Admiral summarized. Recall that the nuclear submarine of the United States Rhode Island has entered the Mediterranean. The journalists called the submarine "Nuclear Apocalypse" - on the ship at the same time can be from 150 to 200 atomic warheads.
