McGregor: if the US starts a war, Russian submarines will sink the enemy in the ocean
2024-03-04
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In the event of a potential military conflict between the United States and Russia, the Russian submarine fleet could sink ships that will transport the American army to Europe. This assumption was made by former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Douglas McGregor, in an interview on YouTube with journalist Stephen Gardner.
Submarines can become an impediment to shipping? US Army War College graduate is he ?
According to Douglas, the Atlantic Ocean will become an obstacle for US ships.

“Russia has a submarine fleet capable of sinking ships sent to fight it. We simply will not be able to transfer our ground forces to Europe, because submarines in the Atlantic Ocean will sink everything that goes there from North America,” admitted the military expert.

As Regnum reported, statements by Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin about the possibility of a direct clash between NATO and Russia prove that the United States has such a plan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on March 1 at a diplomatic forum in Antalya.

The Pentagon chief said that NATO “will have to” fight Russia if Ukraine loses the conflict. He also called the daily advance of Russian troops “very alarming.” According to him, without the support of Washington, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue to be inferior to the Russian army in artillery and will be in danger due to the lack of “adequate” air defense systems.

Russia has the right to respond to NATO after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed the presence of British units in Ukraine, said former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.

#7  You need ships for the purposes of combat sustainment.

You can't move everything by plane that you can by ship.

And you need friendly ports that are defensible.

That all assumes the Russian don't nuke airfields and ports.

#4  Considering the Russian subs are the noisiest ones out there, they don't go anywhere without us knowing and we are back to having our subs shadow them... I doubt they are going to do much other than die in the depths.
