Russia Can Destroy Us – Top U.S. Army General.

Russia is the only country in the world with the nuclear capability to destroy the U.S., according to Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley. The General called Russia an existential threat to the U.S., speaking in front of the audience at the Defense One summit in Washington, DC on Monday.

Milley also considers Russia “aggressive” and “adversarial to the interests of the United States,” which is why Moscow’s nuclear weapons are capable of destroying the U.S.

The General warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent behavior suggest the country would be willing to use nuclear weapons. Milley also noted that Russia has been violating “the Westphalian order” ever since it started invading “sovereign nations” in 2008.

Milley has already called Russia an existential threat during his confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate back in July.

Nuclear apocalypse, here we go!

Meanwhile, there is a showoff in the China seas between the United States and China. Also, lol Russia. I'm calling BS on this story.

So where are the "news" or the general arrived late at the meeting ? Russia has been able to destroy the US since the 50´s and it works all the way around.

I salute my comrades.

What about project Star Wars with the lasers and stuff

Thought that was real

Actually the relationship between US and China seems to be better than current Russia and US one. Chinese premior just paid a visit to Washington and Chinese navy is currently taking apart in a bilateral joint exercise near Flordia.

We've known Russia can destroy us for decades now. We're still here aren't we?

No shit. Anyone with a decent amount of nukes can destroy us. Is this really news worthy?

Don't they know how much Power we got ? We got the USS Enterprise & The Millennium Falcon, they don't stand a chance.

Both Russia and the US have enough nukes to obliterate the word 10 times over.

China is the real threat, they own almost all debt the USA has, they have grown to be the largest supplier to the USA. If anyone can destroy USA it's China and with the biggest army in the world and growing immensely I can see them as a bigger threat than even the almighty Putin.

The cyber attacks all originated from China, hackers? I doubt it. China is gearing up for something.

The fact that china owns almost all US debt is a lie and im not sure who keeps spreading it. All foreign countries put together amounts to under 50%(this is just a ballpark percentage) of the US debt, china being the biggest holder of debt in that section. The federal reserve and other federal accounts account for most of our other debt including privater investors.

@raugutcon:

....and the U.S can obliterate Russia as well

This is nothing more than a ploy to advertise increasing defense spending

The good-ole-US-of-A has the firepower to destroy every other country in the world with nuclear AND conventional weapons. I swear American foreign policy has degraded into a "mine's bigger than yours!" proclamation ever since WWII. If every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction than what would that be for Vietnam syndrome? 9-11 syndrome?

@AFBrat77

Notice how they place our expenditures under "defense". It's laughable.

Hasn't this been true for the last 60+ years?

The debt and the fact that the U.S. is the largest export partner of China's. Their economy collapses without the U.S.

Yeah that's kinda how mutually assured destruction works...

What was not mentioned the US could also destroy Russia.

Don't piss off Russia please. Nuclear war is not good for anyone.

what's new here?

I'd be more worried about Pakistan. Especially if there is a coup.

Russia, the US, and China won't go to war against each other. They're each too big to be conquered. Too bad for the small, proxy countries though. They're cannon fodder.

............. These countries are never going to go into direct conflict in less we are running out of global resources.. This is the global economy we are talking about here, these countries depend off the economies of one another due to international corporations spreading their infrastructures across the planet..

And Russia knows that the US is the only country who can destroy them and also are not afraid to actually use nukes.

So the whole point of this thread is ?????

TS Care to elaborate on that?

Perhaps the TS wasn't aware of the nuclear dagger still hanging over the world. What the end of the Cold War do was take the finger off the button. But, the nuclear dagger is still there. Despite the bilateral treaty scrapping thousands of nuclear warheads, thousands still remain poised to be launched.

"Milley also noted that Russia has been violating “the Westphalian order” ever since it started invading “sovereign nations” in 2008."

lol, the nerve of this guy.

No, it can't.

Bottom line, the majority of people want peace. The Russian people definitely have no intentions of sending a nuke to any country; the leaders of our countries are the dummies pointing fingers. This general is very biased and wants to militarize furthermore. Our state of mind is similar to that of WWI, nobody wants to back down Ex. KJB VS FBI, Communism VS Democracy, False Agendas, Crimea. It's history essential repeating itself!

Putin's response to Obama's foreign policy.

LMFAO!!!! They own 10% at best, the American people own the majority.

Following this logic, any person who owns a gun presents an existential threat to me. The US exceptionalism is just tiresome already. Basically he says that only the US has the right to own a gun and to put the said gun to everyone's face at will for intimidation. But if someone pulls out a gun back at the US, the US starts whining like a spoiled kid that it's unfair and that only the US has a right to own a gun and point it at anyone's head if the US feels like doing so. The fact that the US presents as much if not bigger than Russia an existential threat to any country in this word is just brushed off because of freedoms...

I thought the New World Order being run by a superior race of inter-dimensional reptilian shapeshifters who were putting fluoride in our water to make us dumb so we don't notice we're being gassed out of existence by chemtrails. Get it straight you guys.

This has been true since, idunno, 1960? Hasn't it?
