The US army was recognized as not ready for war with Russia and China.

The National Interest has published an analytical article by retired US officer, Master in National Security David Pine, "America cannot resist China and Russia at the same time." The author recalls that in the previous article he already wrote that Russia and China are winning the nuclear arms race. Their joint arsenal exceeds the American one.

In April 2021, the commander of the US Strategic Command, Admiral Charles Richard, told Congress that the country could well face a war on two or even three fronts. According to the Admiral, the United States currently has no plans for this case. The ability of the United States and its allies to survive, let alone win, the war remains a big question.

In a recent article in The National Interest, former US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs A. Wess Mitchell elaborated on this idea, warning: "The biggest risk the United States faces in the 21st century, apart from a direct nuclear attack, is a war on two fronts involving the strongest military rivals - China and Russia. It will go beyond the capabilities of the American armed forces and will require huge sacrifices on the part of the American people."

The US is not ready to wage even a conventional war with Russia and China, writes NI. In 2019, former US Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work and David Ochmanek, one of the key specialists of the Ministry of Defense on defense planning, presented the results of a series of secret war games. They noted that in a scenario with a war on two fronts, the "blue" [United States] is losing.

As The New York Times wrote, in 18 of the last 18 Pentagon war games on the conflict with China in the Taiwan Strait, the United States lost.

"If the United States continues its risky policy of balancing on the brink of conflict with Russia and China, the result, no matter how unthinkable it may seem, may be Armageddon, which will lead to the death of our nation," the author concludes. "Instead of trying to confront Russia and China and deter them on the borders and in the coastal seas, the United States should seek limited satisfaction of its vital interests either through diplomacy or unilateral actions."

Цитата, q
"Самым большим риском, с которым сталкиваются Соединенные Штаты в XXI веке, если не считать прямой ядерной атаки, является война на два фронта с участием самых сильных военных соперников - Китая и России. Она выйдет за рамки возможностей американских вооруженных сил и потребует огромных жертв со стороны американского народа".
США в 21-м году уже дошли даже до такого состояния, что не могут вести даже одну низкоинтенсивную войну с талибами. Чего уж говорить про высокоинтенсивную с Россией или Китаем, а тем более с обеими странами одновременно?

Чего можно ожидать в зоне СВО (и вообще, вокруг Украины). IMHO.
