Deputy Head of the Joint Committee of Chiefs of Headquarters of the USA, General John Heiten said that now the Russian nuclear powers are completely modernized in contrast to American. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
General noted that this explains the growing threat to the USA from Russia. In addition, the threat to the United States also comes from China. According to Heiten, the main strategic achievement for the United States is the reluctance of the war with these two countries, since the conflict can grow into nuclear that will become a disaster for the countries involved in it and the entire planet.
He called on the United States to start moving faster in the context of bureaucratic procedures for the modernization of weapons. “You have such rivals as Russia and China, and we still move too slowly,” he noted.
Earlier in the publication of the American magazine Popular Mechanics described the possible scenario of the beginning of the Third World War, which, as confident in the publication, will be held between the United States and their opponents, probably Russia or China.
