Army General Answers How Real Is a War Between China and the US Victoria Grabovskaya

The Congressional commission noted in its report that in the event of a probable conflict between the United States and China, Washington will exhaust its ammunition reserves “in just 3-4 weeks.” After that, it will take years to renew resources.

At the same time, Army General and former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Nikolai Malomuzh told 24 Channel that a global war between the United States and China is currently unrealistic. However, regional conflicts are possible against the backdrop of confrontation between these countries.

The US has other priorities

If we assume that a war breaks out between Washington and Beijing, it will escalate into a nuclear conflict, which will lead to the destruction of not only the parties to the confrontation, but also other countries of the world.

Today, the United States is intensively accumulating various types of ammunition, and has launched the work of several factories. However, on Washington’s agenda is a military and, in particular, nuclear threat from Russia.

The United States first of all needs to resolve the issue with Moscow, which Beijing uses as a strike force. If Russian forces are eliminated and the aggressive regime falls, then China's position will weaken to a certain extent. “He will be forced to reach agreements with the United States and European countries, on which he is very dependent,” explained the army general.

Beijing is dependent on the West in many aspects – in finance, trade, sales markets, technology supplies, etc. Therefore, according to Malomuzh, China will not risk starting a war, because it will lead to its collapse.

Today, the United States has its priorities right. For them, the main enemy is Russia, and now the issue is being decided on the battlefield. Therefore, the United States needs to provide Ukraine with the maximum amount of ammunition. If the Pentagon transferred at least 10% of its ammunition reserves to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian forces would be able to really win at the front, Nikolai Malomuzh is sure.

Recall that former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced a likely “peace plan” for Ukraine, which Donald Trump may adhere to if he becomes president again.

In particular, it talks about the abolition of all restrictions on the types of weapons which Ukraine can receive and use. According to Pompeo, this could “restore a position of strength with which Putin will be reckoned” and would also likely lead to an end to the war.
