The top military leadership of the United States has identified the main enemies for the country that exist in the world today.
Until recently, it was believed that the main threat to the United States came from China. But the head of the Northern Command of the US Armed Forces does not think so.
According to General Glen VanHerck, today the United States of America should be wary of Russia, as the officer admitted in an interview with Air Force Magazine.
The successes of the Russian military-industrial complex forced the defense department to set priorities.
China is still listed as an “aggressor,” but the country poses a “long-term existential threat” to the United States.
As for Russia, today its increased power “is the main military threat” to the homeland of the American general.
The US military is primarily concerned about Russian submarines, strategic bombers, cruise and ballistic missiles.
As for the cyber threat and the threat from space, according to the US military leadership, Russia and China are at the same stage of development.
However, what the United States fears most is the possibility of a military conflict in which the country would confront Russia and China at once.
