Bloomberg revealed the scenario of a “nightmare” US defeat in the battle with Russia

Bloomberg columnist Hal Brands published an article in which he asked readers to imagine a scenario in which in a year or two the world will be shaken by wars from Europe to the Pacific. According to him, it’s not as absurd as it seems.

“Never before has the US faced such a prospect of a short-term military confrontation in a few separate theaters,” the journalist said.

He noted that the Ukrainian conflict, the situation around Taiwan and the Middle East could develop into a global battle, and then Washington would have to choose a priority direction. In the analyst’s opinion, in these crises occurring today one can discern “the makings of a Eurasian conflagration,” and the danger of a major war has become “pervasive.” “Today’s crises are more closely interconnected than it seems,” the author notes.

Brands next points out that if this happens, the American state will be overwhelmed with tasks, and the requirements for the US government system will be extremely harsh. As a result, the observer admits, the United States may be defeated in the confrontation with Russia, Iran and China if conflicts with these countries occur almost simultaneously.
