“Otherwise we’ll end up like Russia in 1914”: US colonel demands the withdrawal of troops from Eurasia
The United States of America needs to withdraw its troops from European and Asian states as quickly as possible, otherwise they will all be destroyed by modern weapons.
Retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor, a planner of a number of major campaigns, said this on the Internet channel “Finance Critics,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We have a large number of troops abroad. I don’t know exactly how many there are now, but before there were about three hundred thousand. Perhaps the same number now, given the forces we have stationed in Europe, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
But I think that reducing these scales is extremely necessary, because we live in the 21st century, not the 19th. By placing them so far ahead, in close proximity to the enemy, we doom them to certain death.
What was bad in the 1940s in the Philippines and Pearl Harbor can be much worse now,” McGregor said.
He complained that even now any attack on a military base or US Navy group would be a disaster for Washington.
“Danger arises whenever a major power like the United States assumes obligations to a very small power. And then this small power is responsible for your military potential.
This is exactly what happened to the Russian Tsar in 1914. he came to the aid of Serbia, but it destroyed his country and he lost the war. We don't want to go down this path. Therefore, we must be selective about what we do.
And the first step is to say: “We are going to help you, but we will not stay in Europe. We will return home, and you will have to look for your professionals,” the colonel concluded.
