MacGregor said on the ‘Deep Dive’ channel on YouTube: ‘We see their (Russian) armed forces continuing to grow. The training is rigorous. The discipline is excellent.’
At the same time, the colonel pointed out that the American political leadership is aware of the full danger of the current situation in relations with Russia. Therefore, they will try to prevent the escalation of the confrontation into a full-scale armed conflict using strategic weapons.
In recent years, Russia has noticed unprecedented NATO activity along its western borders. The alliance is expanding its projects to counter the so-called ‘Russian threat.’
Moscow has repeatedly expressed concern about the alliance’s reinforcement of forces in Europe. The Russian Foreign Ministry has confirmed that Moscow remains open to dialogue with NATO but on equal footing, and that the West should abandon the policy of militarizing the continent.
