Why are the brave American soldiers afraid of the Russians? A soldier of an elite US unit about the Russians.
Lately, Americans have been faced with the fact that far from the most educated soldiers are increasingly serving in the US Army. In addition, exposé articles appear in the press describing poor discipline, corruption and theft. But the American leadership is trying to ignore this.
One of the problems with the United States military is cowardice.
On October 11 last year, Washington introduced a special rule for American pilots in Syria. Pilots were prohibited from approaching Russian aircraft at a distance closer than 32 kilometers. The thing is that, due to stress, the American military often behaves too strangely. It turns out that overseas soldiers are so easily demoralized that sometimes it is not at all clear how they can fight?
For example, one day a Russian TU-95 bomber flew 40 miles off the California coast and wished its colleagues good morning on the emergency frequency, congratulating them on Independence Day.
The American command protested about this, since both the pilots and air traffic controllers experienced enormous stress when the Russian plane appeared at their borders!
Moreover, fear is felt not only by soldiers in the conflict zone, but also by Pentagon staffers. They raised the alarm after noticing that a Russian military apparatus, Luch, was located 5 km from the American secret satellite. He did nothing wrong to the American facility, but panic began in the American mission control center. The military said the Russians' behavior was provocative and abnormal.
However, such fear sometimes benefits military personnel overseas, because it makes them remember at least some kind of discipline. For example, a scandal recently broke out in the United States. A truck belonging to the Safe Transportation Authority (an organization that transports nuclear waste) suddenly went missing. After several hours of searching, the police found the car on the side of the road, and the drivers were so drunk that they could not stand on their feet.
And at the American Air Force Base Malstrom, in Montana, the military personnel had even more fun. While guarding intercontinental ballistic missiles, the guards of this base began to use drugs. So much so that they began to hallucinate. It’s not hard to imagine how it all would have ended if one of the officers had not found the soldiers in a narcotic dope right at the control panel of a nuclear facility. It turned out that the servicemen took fungous substances for a couple of months, right on combat duty.
American soldiers in general are increasingly behaving rather strangely on duty. For example, at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, Sergeant First Class Gregory McQueen founded a brothel. The soldier met girls who lived in the surrounding villages and offered them round sums for intimate relations with officers. At the same time, he gave each new beauty a test. The girl had to please him, and for free. After the sergeant was detained, he fully confessed to everything, telling investigators which of the officers went to the left and how many times.
Another characteristic feature of the American army is theft.
The soldiers steal everything they can. Related scandals overseas arise regularly, and recently the US armed forces found themselves at the center of another trouble. After another audit, it turned out that the American group in Afghanistan had a shortage of as much as 420 million dollars!
Allegedly, the military lost a huge number of cars and high-tech equipment. Although, in fact, they sold this equipment. Where is unknown. The scam has not yet been uncovered. The fact is that all suspects and witnesses mysteriously suddenly developed amnesia during interrogation.
However, it is better to understand the extent to which chaos took hold of the American army using the example of the scandal at Arlington Cemetery. Relatives have been contacting its management for many months with complaints that they cannot find the graves of their loved ones. As a result, the scandal reached the Pentagon leadership. The audit showed that cemetery workers mixed up more than 6 thousand graves when installing signs, and the remains of many soldiers were buried incorrectly.
Hundreds of graves were completely missing from the cemetery map, and unknown remains appeared in supposedly empty plots. In general, the cemetery workers had no respect for the deceased. And so it is everywhere: in cemeteries there is confusion, among personnel there is decay. And even the generals behave rather strangely: in their speeches they now refer to data from Twitter or Facebook.
American generals can be understood. Washington quite often forces them not to fight, but only to imitate war, as is happening in Syria. Moreover, in the rear of the armed forces, complete chaos also quite often reigns. It even got to the point where gaps appeared in the United States nuclear shield. Recently, the Pentagon started checking strategic troops. It turned out that things were very bad there, and not only with equipment and communications.
At three nuclear missile bases in North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana, only one kit for attaching warheads to ballistic missiles was found to be operational. Workers had to line up behind him to carry out work. And transport tools from base to base using a courier service.
Today, the American army can safely boast of only one commander in chief, who was recognized as the best among dancing presidents, according to the Washington Post. And it seems that Obama really knows a lot about this. In plasticity and a sense of rhythm, the President of the United States will give odds to any world leader.
An experienced American soldier, during a banquet, frankly spoke to the author about the Russians and why they are so feared in the United States.
It so happened that I had the opportunity to participate in a project with real Pindos. Nice guys, pros. In the six months that the project was underway, we managed to become friends. As expected, the successful completion of a project ends in drinking. And now our banquet is in full swing, I got into a tongue-in-cheek conversation with a guy with whom we were discussing the same topic. Of course, we divided who was cooler, the first satellite, the lunar program, airplanes, weapons, etc.
And I asked my expected question:
“Tell me, American, why are you so afraid of us, you’ve been living in Russia for six months, you’ve seen everything yourself, there are no bears on the street and no one rides in tanks?”
- ABOUT! I'll explain this! An instructor sergeant explained this to us when I served in the US National Guard, this instructor went through many hot spots, he was hospitalized twice and twice because of the Russians. He told us all the time that Russia is the only and most terrible enemy.
The first time was in 1991, in Afghanistan it was his first business trip, young, not yet shelled, he helped civilians when the Russians decided to destroy a mountain village.
- Wait! I interrupted. We were ALREADY no longer in Afghanistan in 1987.
- We, too, were not STILL in Afghanistan in 1991, but I don’t see the point in not believing him. Listen!
And I listened, and in front of me was no longer a peaceful young engineer, but an American veteran.
“I provided security, the Russians were no longer in Afghanistan, the locals began to fight with each other, our task was to organize the redeployment of a friendly partisan detachment to the area we controlled, everything went according to plan, but two Russian helicopters appeared in the sky, why and why didn’t I I know. Having made a turn, they changed formation and began to approach our positions. A volley of stingers, the Russians went over the ridge. I managed to take a position behind a large-caliber machine gun, I waited, Russian vehicles were supposed to appear from behind the ridge, a good burst at the side would do them good. And the Russian helicopter was not long in coming; it appeared, not from behind the ridge, but from below from the gorge and hovered 30 meters from me. I desperately pressed the trigger and saw the bullets bouncing off the glass, striking sparks.
I saw the Russian pilot smiling.
I woke up already at the base. Mild contusion. I was later told that the pilot took pity on me; among the Russians it was considered a sign of skill to deal with the locals and leave the European alive, I don’t know why, and I don’t believe it. Leaving an enemy in the rear who is capable of a surprise is stupid, and the Russians are not stupid.
Then there were many different business trips, the next time I encountered the Russians in Kosovo,
It was a crowd of untrained idiots, with machine guns from the Vietnam War, armored armor probably left over from the Second World War, heavy, inconvenient, no navigators, night vision devices, nothing else, just a machine gun, a helmet and armored armor. They drove their armored personnel carriers wherever they wanted and where they wanted, kissed the civilian population, baked bread for them (they brought a bakery with them and baked bread!). They fed everyone their own porridge with canned meat, which they cooked themselves in a special cauldron. We were treated with disdain and constantly insulted. It wasn't an army, but who knows what. How can you interact with them? All our reports to the Russian leadership were ignored. Somehow we got into a serious fight, we didn’t share the route, if it weren’t for the Russian officer who calmed these monkeys down, we could have reached the trunks. These idiots needed to be punished. Give it to the pussy and put it in its place! Without weapons, we only needed Russian corpses, but what would they understand? They wrote a note in Russian, but with mistakes, like the Serb wrote that nice guys were gathering at night to give pussy to the insolent Russian bastards. We prepared thoroughly, light body armor, police batons, night vision devices, stun guns, no knives or firearms. We approached them, observing all the rules of camouflage and sabotage. These idiots didn’t even post, so we’ll fuck the sleeping people, we deserve it! When we almost approached the tents, there was a fucking sound, RY-YAY-AAAH! And from all the cracks these idiots crawled out, for some reason dressed only in striped shirts. I accepted the first one.
I woke up already at the base. Mild contusion. They told me later that the guy took pity on me and hit me flat; if he had hit me for real, he would have taken my head off. Fuck me! An experienced fighter of an elite unit of the US Marine Corps is knocked out in 10 seconds by a Russian, a skinny brat, and with what??? And you know what? Gardening and entrenching tool! Shovel! Yes, it would never have occurred to me to fight with a sapper shovel, but they are taught this, but unofficially, among the Russians it was considered a sign of skill to know how to fight with a sapper shovel. I later realized that they were waiting for us, but why did they come out in shirts, only in shirts, because it is natural for a person to protect himself, to wear armored armor and a helmet. Why only in shirts? And their fucking RY-YAY-AAA!
I was once waiting for a flight at the Detroit airport, there was a Russian family there, mom, dad, daughter, also waiting for their plane. The father bought somewhere and brought a hefty ice cream to the girl, about three years old. She jumped with delight, clapped her hands and do you know what she screamed? Their fucking RY-YAY-AAA! Three years old, speaks poorly, and is already screaming RYA-YAY-AAA!
But those guys, with this cry, went to die for their country. They knew that it would just be hand-to-hand combat, without weapons, but they went to die. But they didn't go to kill!
It's easy to kill while sitting in an armored helicopter or holding a razor-sharp blade in your hands. They didn't feel sorry for me. Killing for the sake of killing is not for them. But they are ready to die if necessary.
And then I realized that Russia is the only and most terrible enemy.”
This is how a soldier from an elite US unit told us about you. Shall we have another glass? Russian! And I'm not afraid of you!
- “Anyone who knows world history will confirm my words: “Russians should be proud only of the fact that they are simply Russian”…. With love and respect from South America!”

- “Impressive! From Vietnam!

- “Amazing patriotism. And I am sure that it was no coincidence that the Russians showed this to the whole world in close-up. If the translation of the song's words was correct, then in the last lines they said:
“We are standing at this post, reports the platoon and company,
Immortal as fire. Calm as granite.
We are the country's army. We are the army of the people.
Our history preserves a great feat.
There is no need to scare us or boast arrogantly,
There is no need to threaten and play with fire again.
After all, if the enemy dares to test our strength,
We’ll stop checking him forever!”
And this is a clear warning to the West. And seeing the reaction in this video that the words of the song evoke among the Russians themselves, if I were the United States and NATO, I would listen to this warning more closely...”

“Russia has always impressed me and supported me with its example. I don’t even know how, but after all those shocks, hardships and troubles, the Russians always managed to rise. Even now, having lost tens of millions in the 20th century, the worst for this country, and then losing millions more as a control shot in the 90s, having lost their support, they still managed to become one of the strongest global players under Vladimir Putin. The most rebellious nation, that's for sure. Only respect for such a country!”

For centuries, the Russian army has proven to the rest of the world its unique ability to resist any external enemy.
It was the legendary Russian character that allowed Russia to emerge as a great civilization.
A Russian soldier always knew exactly for whom and for what he was fighting in a particular war.
For a just cause, for the Motherland, for the family, and not for socialism. packages, guarantees, finance and preferential tax deductions. All this is typical mainly for our overseas “neighbors”.
We are fighting for the highest. For our country, the concepts of “conscience,” “honor,” and “defense of the Fatherland” have not yet lost their grandiose and life-affirming meaning.
How do modern Americans and Europeans feel about this? Let's follow up.
Under a popular video about the modernized Russian army, the most approved foreign comments, in descending order, looked like this:
"With great respect for the Russian army! With sincere admiration from the Netherlands!"
Dennis
"Spasibo Russia, straight from Slovakia! We are brothers for centuries. NATO, EU, USA - all these are countries of terror, but not Russia. Russia is the only clean country!"
Jan Cernak
"Russia, save us together with you! A big request from the Czech Republic!"
"Russia, please free Europe from our pro-American politicians! You have no idea how much we hate them here!"

"Russia - you are the only ones saving us from the madness of the USA! With love and respect from Italy!"
Antonino Giuffrida
"Russia always remains strong no matter what! Best regards from Poland!"
Jebudu
“I love Russians! They are one of the last defenders of freedom against the dictates of power and capital. And it is we, not you, who need your help. Congratulations from Germany!”

“Don’t listen to anyone, especially our corrupt media! Europe is delighted with Putin! Hang in there! You are a wonderful country, you have a great president, amazing armed forces, great people and culture! Congratulations from Switzerland!”
Systemeformgestalter
"For some reason, no one here is surprised, but I still ask: HOW!? How... F)*ck ...and when did this country, after the monstrous defeat in the 90s!!! Was able to become so powerful again superpower!? Don’t they ever relax!? Seriously, I would gladly serve in the ranks of such army troops right now!!)
MrZ
The exceptional combat capability of the Russian army has always been a mystery to the West. And everything would be fine if the Russian soldier was fed, shod and dressed better than the soldiers of Western countries, but until now, as a rule, he was worse armed, ate lighter, and dressed more simply, and still won.
"So what happens now?", - our geopolitical “friends” and partners are thinking about this issue. After all, today the Russians already have a modern army equipped with the latest technology?
"What will happen?", they ask, and find no answer...
However, foreign users Youtube, this question is answered as follows:
Let's wave!...The Russians are dropping their tanks from parachutes! TANKS! WITH! TRANSPORT! AIRPLANES! WTF?! This is at least 50 tons!! God bless this country! Because this is definitely “IS CRAZY RUSSIAN”!

Words are beautiful when they are put into practice. And the Russians are right now showing the whole world what an army a sovereign country should have!

The Western World has said 100,000,000 times that Russia is now “in a lower position”! And here is my question: “If Russia is there, then why are you afraid of RUSSIA until you urinate, and fight like crazy to destroy it?”
My answer is simple:
“Because all Russians are WARRIORS! And the Western world is SUCKERS!”
