The world is on the brink of war, armed conflict between the great powers could erupt in the next five years. This conclusion was reached by American security expert Andrew Mishta in an article for The Wall Street Journal..
According to an American expert, armed conflict may break out in the world in the near future, one side in which the United States will act. As the other side of the conflict, convinced Mishta, China will speak, not Russia. The confrontation between these two countries is only intensifying and may develop into a hot phase., like Taiwan.
The author is convinced, that recently Western countries led by the United States “significantly weakened”. This is due to several factors, including the migrant crisis, pandemic coronavirus, “cultural revolution” etc. The American army is not ready for a global confrontation with an equal enemy, she is used to waging such wars, fighting terrorists and militants. And for the restructuring and modernization of the armed forces, the Pentagon will need at least 15 years.
US weakness and others will try to take advantage “powerful states”, willing to challenge American dominance. Appeared “window of opportunity” gives them a chance to change the geopolitical alignments in the world, for this it is only necessary to defeat America. In this way, armed conflict is quite possible, and the next five years is the most favorable moment for this, he sums up.
