[Shocking] Russia Could 'Destroy NATO In Less Than Three Days', U.S Defence Official Warns

U.S deputy assistant secretary of defence for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, Michael Carpenter, told the U.S Senate that Russia has both a massive geographical advantage and a head-start in preparing potential conflict, reports The Weekly Standard.

Britain and the U.S are simply not ready for war

Russia has allegedly deployed troops along its western border as part of an on-going standoff with the alliance and NATO is reportedly in the process of boosting its forces, however estimates state they won’t be ready until the end of 2017.

According to Dr Carpenter, Britain and the U.S are simply not ready for war with Russia and won’t be until at least next year.

Dr Carpenter also warned NATO would be unable to defend Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – which border Russia – although they are planning to reinforce the area with seven new brigades.

The stark warning has come as NATO carries out its largest ‘war games’ in Eastern Europe since the Cold War ended.

Nineteen NATO members – as well as five other nations – are contributing troops to the 10-day exercise which is aiming to test their responses to threats from land, sea and air.
