Washington - MENA
The US "Value Walk" website on Saturday wandered about the United State's readiness for a continuous war against Russia if Moscow invaded any of Washington's allies.
"While a report indicates that Moscow is preparing for a war against Washington, the US military has done a check-up of its capabilities to wage a sustained battle against Russia. And well, the results of the check-up don’t bode well for America," the report claimed.
The report said that the US has conducted a number of secret military drills over the summer. "The result of which left defense officials and military forces worried that the county is not prepared for a sustained war against Russia, according to two defense officials."
"In particular, the US military attributes its unpreparedness to wage a war against Russia to the 15 years of counter terrorism warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan. The wars have depleted US forces' ability to maintain logistics and troops levels in case Russian President Vladimir Putin orders its forces to attack a NATO ally, the officials noted."
"With such an uncertain attitude toward Russia, the US risks to find itself in a situation where it would have to decide to help or not to help its NATO allies in case of an invasion by Putin. The main reason why the Russian president would invade a NATO member is to see how the US responds," the Value Walk quoted Russian military expert Ivan Nikiforov saying.
