Looking at the weapons available to the United States, their opponents should, when talking about a possible attack on the country, say to themselves: "Not today." The main goal of the Pentagon was named by the deputy chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces of the United States, General John Hyten. This is reported by The National Interest.
According to him, the Pentagon exists to protect the American people. "We are protecting this country by containing conflicts," the military says.
According to Hyten, the development of a huge amount of weapons is necessary so that the enemy does not consider an attack expedient. "Deterrence comes from all possibilities. Comprehensive deterrence is not only about our cyber, space or nuclear capabilities, but also how we can use them to create problems for the enemy, so that the enemy decides not to engage in battle. This is the goal, " the general said.
In January, the publication Over Defense, using data from the American organization Center for Naval Analyses (CNA), wrote that the scenario of a preventive NATO strike on the Kaliningrad region involves the elimination of four main targets in this region.
