U.S. Army Chief Threatens War With Russia

• http://www.dcclothesline.com

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley has warned that the United States is ready to "destroy" its enemies in comments that are clearly directed at Russia.

"I want to be clear to those who wish to do us harm….the United States military – despite all of our challenges, despite our [operational] tempo, despite everything we have been doing – we will stop you and we will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before. Make no mistake about that," said Milley.

The General went on to warn that Russia and other countries had taken advantage of the U.S. being focused on the war on terror.

"Other countries – Russia, Iran, China, North Korea – went to school on us," he said, adding, "They studied our doctrine, our tactics, our equipment, our organization, our training, our leadership. And, in turn, they revised their own doctrines, and they are rapidly modernizing their military today to avoid our strengths in hopes of defeating us at some point in the future."

Milley cautioned that the next major conflict would "be highly lethal, unlike anything our Army has experienced at least since World War II," and would involve fighting in "highly populated urban areas."

"Make no mistake about it, we can now and we will … retain the capability to rapidly deploy," he said, "and we will destroy any enemy anywhere, any time," he concluded.

Gen. Milley made it clear who he was talking about when he went on to quote a senior Russian official who vowed, "Russia can now fight a conventional war in Europe and win."
