CNN reported that the New York Times broke the news that the US government has even planned to "once Russia invades and occupies Ukraine". The United States and NATO will establish a second line of defense in Poland, Romania and Slovakia in Eastern Europe, while training Ukrainian guerrillas to fight.
Us media believe that the Russian army has now completed the assembly of 70,000-100,000 troops. Therefore, it is likely that the Russian army will not seize all of Ukraine, but the entire Donbass region, all the way to the Dnieper region.
US media reports: Russian commentator Vuzins said that the Russo-Ukrainian war will not be an all-out war, but is likely to be a limited war, and the Russian army will carry out devastating air strikes against the Ukrainian army through bombers and other air forces. Even the Russian tank army group would not directly participate in the war. Because, Russia's air strikes were enough to destroy the Ukrainian army.
U.S. analysts believe that the recent attack on Ukraine's cyber system is a prelude to a military attack by the Russian military. At the same time, the New York Times reported that once Ukraine could not resist, the US military would establish positions in Eastern Europe to block russian troops and arm Ukrainian guerrillas to launch a counterattack. Eastern Europe will become the base of the final counter-offensive, and the United States and NATO will transport more weapons, ammunition, medical equipment, and so on to Eastern Europe.
Now, the United States fears that the Russian military will transport nuclear weapons to areas near the U.S. coastline, posing a direct nuclear threat to the United States. Making it impossible for the United States to reinforce Ukraine and Eastern Europe will also trigger a nuclear confrontation between the United States and Russia. Russian Federation press secretary Peskov said NATO troops are encircling Russia, close to the Russian border. NATO has never been a dove of peace, NATO is a tool of confrontation, and now countries such as Estonia are inviting NATO troops to deploy.
Foreign media reported that in order to prevent the outbreak of war, Russia cut off the supply of natural gas to Europe. The United States is already in talks with several large energy companies to urgently ship natural gas to Europe.
The Miami Herald reported that Ukraine must not be abandoned under the threat of Russia, because you must choose between war and shame. You have chosen shame and you will face war. A "frail America" will lead to a more dangerous and uncertain world. The U.S. Rand think tank report believes that if the U.S. military wants to protect the three Baltic countries, it must mobilize 8 armored brigades, 3 infantry brigades, 3 Marine Battalions, 24 fighter squadrons, and 2 aircraft carrier battle groups.
If the United States were to protect Ukraine and Eastern Europe, it would have to deploy 5 more armored brigades and 13 Stryker brigades, with 6 Marine Battalions. At the same time, 15 air force and marine-based fighter squadrons, 2 aircraft carrier battle groups and 4 amphibious ship formations will be dispatched.
That is to say, the US military should comprehensively confront the Russian army in Europe and launch a great Jedi counteroffensive. It was necessary to deploy, 13 armored brigades, 16 infantry and Stryker brigades, 9 Marine Battalions, as well as 39 fighter squadrons, 4 aircraft carrier battle groups and 2 amphibious assault ship formations.
But how easy is it to counter-attack? In the 1944 Battle of Normandy, the U.S. army could launch a counteroffensive because the main German army had been severely damaged and contained by the Soviets. Therefore, the U.S. military in France only encountered the second- and third-rate troops of the German army.
After 2008, the Russian army began to re-establish the Joint Strategic Command and establish the Heavily Armored Army Group Army, of which the strongest western military district had 4 group armies. In the southern military district facing Ukraine, the Black Sea region and the Mediterranean direction, there are also 3 army groups. The Russian army is in the western region and has at least 7 army groups. Russian satellite network reported that on the Russian-Ukrainian border, the Russian army alone has hundreds of air defense missile launchers such as S-300 and S-400, and has thousands of missiles of various kinds.
If the U.S. Air Force is blocked by Russian anti-aircraft missiles and air force, it will not be able to reach the battlefield. U.S. ground forces will be sifted through Russian missile and tank armies. In fact, in modern high-tech warfare, it is necessary not only to have strong troops, but also to have strong missile forces. As soon as the war began, a large-scale precision missile strike was carried out everywhere, leaving the war a mess within 24 hours.
