Is the US really preparing to die heroically in a nuclear conflict?
The press has recently noted more than once that as a result of a survey of US military personnel, it turned out that 40% of them are sure that in 2019 their country will get involved in a global war. Last year there were only 5% of them. The jump in the number of sagittered people is explained by the ideological pumping of personnel, who are supposedly preparing for war. Both the US President and the Pentagon talk about the need to be prepared for a military conflict with the main enemies - China and Russia. And so the generals tell their soldiers, especially those who are being transferred to Western Europe, that they are sure that a war is on the doorstep.
This rhetoric is accompanied by the announcement of the US withdrawal from the SALT III and INF treaties. The budgets of enterprises in the American military-industrial complex are growing. The rhetoric of the American leadership is becoming tougher, in response to it from Russia they say in plain text that if something happens, then the "partners" will not even have time to repent, they will simply die. It seems - everything, the world has come to its end. Propaganda draws huge masses into a whirlpool of passions and people believe that if not today, then tomorrow the lights will be turned off in the world. It seems that the elites have gone mad and ready to die on their own just to kill their opponents.
In fact, of course, this rhetoric remains rhetoric, a means of political pressure on rivals. Over the decades after the Cold War, the configuration of forces in the world has become outdated and does not hold anyone back. Russia forges its missiles without looking back at the treaties, as the balance of power demands it. The US was not particularly worried about this, but now they want to restore their swaying lead and have decided to withdraw from the treaties.
Naturally, we want to prevent them from doing this and keep them in a position that is disadvantageous for them and advantageous for us, and therefore we are indignant to the whole world, realizing that in military terms this will not give anything, but in the propaganda plan, some temporary gains are possible. glasses.
In fact, the sum of the forces of Russia and China upsets the balance of power between the United States and Europe, and therefore, not counting on Europe, the United States itself is beginning to build up its leverage. However, this is done exclusively for negotiation purposes. The build-up of US armaments makes it possible to negotiate with Russia, China and Europe from a position of strength. New proportions must emerge.
When they arise, and there is a new balance of power in the world, negotiations will begin again to fix the situation for a certain period. Then there will be new agreements on the limitation of some types of weapons. They will again talk about limiting and even destroying certain types of missiles. But before that, all the degrees of freedom in a new movement forward must be chosen.
“Stay here and wait. When I start, I won't say. The real war begins suddenly”(Kill the dragon, E. Schwartz). This is the position of the United States, and there is no need to think that it will be different. If a war breaks out, they will not be warned about it in advance. The principle of surprise of the blitzkrieg has not been canceled.

But China and Russia remember: "The best way to get rid of dragons is to have your own." The "dragons" of Russia and China will destroy the "dragon" of the United States if they strike together. If someone alone fights with the United States, then the remaining one will certainly finish off what remains of the United States. No one will give them the opportunity to take the wing again. No one from NATO will take revenge on the United States - Europe is incredibly cowardly in the face of a nuclear conflict. Dying for the United States is not Europe's goal. The United States understands this prospect and will not really start a war. However, they will be able to bargain for the new conditions of the world.
And to make the bargaining smoother, prices will triple and a strong advertising campaign will be launched, part of which are announcements to the whole world that American soldiers are ready to start a fight morally. The task is to intimidate and pressure. Suddenly it will work out! It turns out badly - Russia promised that there is no hope - leaving the planet Earth forever, we will certainly take with us all our "dear partners".
And it doesn't matter where we end up - in heaven or in hell. As the famous advertising formula used to say: "Anywhere is more fun together." So far, the Americans do not like this prospect. But there will never be another. Therefore, for world peace, as long as Russia and China have strategic nuclear forces, one can be calm.
