![]() ![]() A top US military official has warned that the likelihood of a conflict “between great powers” is growing, citing the military capabilities of both China and Russia. The chair of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, told a gathering on Saturday that the world "has the potential for a significant international conflict between great powers.” The general, who was speaking to cadets graduating from*US*Military Academy West Point, also said that “that potential is increasing, not decreasing.” “What was once the exclusive province of the United States military is now available to most nation states with the money to acquire them,” he warned. Milley singled out two world powers, China and Russia, describing both as having “significant military capabilities." "And right now, at this very moment, a fundamental change is happening in the very character of war," he said. "We are facing right now two global powers,*China*and Russia, each with significant military capabilities, and both who fully intend to change the current rules based order,"*Milley added. He further said that weapons technology will also change dramatically in future decades. "You'll be f*ghting with*robotic tanks*and ships and airplanes," Milley said. Citing the ongoing war in Ukraine, the general said that the conflict is “threatening to undermine not only European peace and stability but global peace and stability that my parents and a generation of Americans fought so hard to defend." Ukraine has been at war with Russia since President Vladimir Putin declared a military operation in the neighboring country in late February, following Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements and Moscow’s recognition of the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. At the time, Putin said one of the goals of what he called a “special military operation” was to “de-Nazify” Ukraine. Ever since, Washington has sent heavy weaponry to Ukraine and shared intelligence with the embattled government in Kiev, despite warnings from Moscow that the unfaltering Western support would indefinitely prolong the war ![]() |

China is a threat in the sense that we may not be able to act with impunity in the south China Sea in the next decade, but that's about it. The have one installation outside of Chinese borders. They are not a global threat militarily the way the media, I mean military industrial complex makes them out to be. While we(US) could never invade and control large portions of China, they could never set foot on US soil, or hit us with any peace of ordinance outside of a nuke. Couple that with their troops nonexistent combat experience, and they might could make some noise, BUT they don't want no smoke with us. | |

Instead dudes chilling in a fu*king Green fitted T shirt in the capitol and welcoming more dignitaries than he has in years Ignoring the nuances of the f*ghting (where you'll see propaganda on both sides) the fact that he's out there still speaks magnitudes about Russias lack of ability to catch a body | |

No doubt ukraine is taking its fair share of L's but point is Russias not even able to smoke an opp a few hundred miles away from its border. Compare that to Iraqi leadership abdicating within days of the US going in 2003 | |
