PunkTheFunk 125,734 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The Marine Corps commandant told about 300 Marines in Norway this week that they should be prepared for battle, predicting a "bigass fight" to come. "I hope I'm wrong, but there's a war coming," Gen. Robert Neller told the Marines on Thursday, according to Military.com. "You're in a fight here, an informational fight, a political fight, by your presence." Neller was visiting a Marine rotational force near Trondheim, about 300 miles north of Oslo. The Marines have been stationed there since January. Their presence in Norway is intended to support operations by NATO and the U.S. European Command, as well as to help the Marine Corps facilitate training in cold weather and mountainous conditions. But Neller and other Corp leaders told the force they should be prepared for a change in their peacetime mission, should the need arise. In particular, Neller predicted the Pacific and Russia to be the focus of any conflict in the future outside of the Middle East, Military.com reported. As the Marines' top general, Neller is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon's senior-most leadership team responsible for contingency planning. It is unclear to what extent his comments were indicative of an actual war to come or merely meant as a pep talk for troops stationed far from home over the Christmas holiday. A spokesman for the general did not immediately respond to questions sent by email Saturday. With unusual fanfare, President Donald Trump unveiled a new National Security Strategy last week that cast China and Russia as competitors for global power and potential threats to the United States. "China and Russia challenge American power, influence, and interests, attempting to erode American security and prosperity," the document states. "They are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-marine-corps-general-war-coming-20171223-story.html Just a few days ago Defense Secretary James Mattis told "soldiers and airmen of the elite 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina" that "storm clouds are gathering over the Korean Peninsula" The Associated Press quoted him saying: "If we have to do it (militarily), we expect to make it the worst day in North Korea's life." If war comes, "every submarine he's got is to be sunk, and every ship he's got is to be sunk", said the retired general. "You know what I'm driving at here," Mr Mattis said as the soldiers listened in silence, the Stars And Stripes reported. "So you gotta be ready," he added. http://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/storm-clouds-gathering-over-korean-peninsula-mattis-tells-us-troops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctherainbow 3,162 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 26 minutes ago, DelusionalGaga said: Nobody gains anything from a war The US jumpstarted its industrial sector and emerged as a world power following both world wars, and that's just one example, so this isn't entirely true. I'm sure that outside the Middle East, Russia and the Pacific will be the focus of potential warfare. We been knew this for a long time. This doesn't make me much more worried than I already was. I'm talkin' 'bout forever, baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oivind 287 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'm happy if Trump wants to stand up to Putin. I trust Putin a lot less than Trump. No former USSR country is safe without a guarantee from the US. Standing up to Putin is the safe thing to do, because Russia is no match at all for the US military, and Putin knows it. I think Trump is a bigger threat to the climate than to peace, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
