February 25, 2023, 4:40 p.m. – Public Information Service – TEH – US Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis has expressed concern that US politicians’ habit of listening to the opinion of retired generals could lead to an escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict into a disaster nuclear. 19fortyfive writes about it.
According to the officer, the military, who once held high positions, cannot properly assess the risks under the current circumstances.
Davis cites examples of “catastrophically wrong” predictions made by former generals such as David Petraeus, Mark Clark and Ben Hodges, who incorrectly predicted a Ukrainian victory in the conflict.
The expert notes that the US military elite misses many facts that cast doubt on the idea of ​​a victory for Ukraine in the conflict. Many weapons and equipment promised by NATO will not be delivered all at once, but in parts over several years. The amount of Western support in words is often greater than in deeds.
Retired American generals, according to Davis, mistakenly think they are dealing with leaders of small states who cannot do significant harm to the United States or NATO. However, as the expert notes, Vladimir Putin is the leader of a nuclear power, and a conflict with him can lead to catastrophic consequences.new code123
