Shock Pentagon report warns US would LOSE WW3 to Russia or China – Daily Star

THE US army is would be annihilated if it went to war with Russia and China, a Pentagon report has shockingly revealed.

The US ground troops are currently not ready and unable to deter or defeat highly capable peer enemies

Donald Trump's gung-ho attitude and tensions in North Korea have led the US to the brink of war on several fronts.

But worryingly for The Donald, a white paper produced by US defence officials states their ground combat forces would be defeated by well-equipped enemies specifically naming China and Russia as potential enemies.

The US is not ready to take on high capable enemies, the report warns.

We live in turbulent times. Trump has the keys to nuclear weapons, and could end work to prevent climate change. Putin is looming in the East, the far-right are on the rise in Europe and Kim Jong-un is developing nuclear weapons of his own. Is this the END of days?

Before his inauguration, Donald Trump asked a security expert three times during a briefing, why the US couldn't use nuclear weapons after he becomes president.

The document reads: "The US ground troops are currently not ready and unable to deter or defeat highly capable peer enemies."

The paper adds that US soldiers are not "sufficiently trained, organised, equipped, nor postured" to win wars in the decades to come.

As a result, the US army has unveiled a new strategy for fighting multiple countries at the same time.

Political analyst Ilya Plekhanov said the US is preparing for a high-tech war without the use of ground troops.

He added: "This is why the US Army is currently leading the way in developing this doctrine.

"They understand the army will be nearly expendable in a high-tech war against potential adversaries, primarily China and Russia.

Russian Marines attached to the Admiral Tributs anti-submarine ship put on a terrifying display during a rare stop in Manila. Hitting each other with burning logs, smashing breeze blocks across their stomachs with sledge hammers: are they the most terrifying soldiers in the world?

"The war of the future will be lethally chaotic for it."

China and the US were reported to be on the brink of all-out war with China over disputed territory in the South China Sea.

And The Donald has repeatedly clashed with Putin's Russia over North Korea and NATO.
