The decline of the US Navy and the shrinking arsenal of conventional weapons noted by US analysts dramatically increases the risk of US use of nuclear weapons, according to the report from the theater of war, published in The Essence of Time newspaper, issue 571.
The Heritage Foundation, an analytical center of the US Republican Party, released a report on the state of the US Armed Forces. The report states the disappointing state of the main branches of the armed forces and the inability of the United States to win even one major war.
Analysts point to the shrinking army, whose numbers have fallen to their lowest level since 1940. The US Navy is also shrinking – the number of ships in the U.S. fleet today is half what it was at the end of the Cold War. There has also been a decline in the number of fighter and bomber aircraft in combat service.
“The described decline of the US Navy and the reduction of the arsenal of conventional weapons dramatically increases the risk of using non-conventional weapons, that is, nuclear bombs and missiles. And in parallel, there is a psychological preparation of public opinion for such a scenario,” The Essence of Time editorial reads.
