Today a former White House official stunned King World News by
saying the United States is already at war with China and Russia.
Former presidential adviser and member
of the U.S. President's Working Group on Financial Markets, Dr.
Philippa Malmgren, also discussed how and where this dangerous
war is taking place and why the public is totally unaware of it up
to now.
Eric King:
"Because you are friends with former
defense ministers you are up to speed on geopolitics, but I kind
of laughed because NATO was talking about creating a 'Spearhead
Force' of 3,000-4,000 soldiers, and the United States said
they are going to send 100 tanks to the Baltic States."
(Laughter)
Dr. Malmgren:
"Yes." (Laughter)
Eric King:
"The reason I'm laughing is because
just one battle in World War II, the Battle of Kursk in Russia,
involved 2,000,000 men, 6,000 tanks, and 4,000 aircraft.
I laugh because what does the West
think it's going to do by getting 3,000-4,000 men together and
sending 100 tanks up against Russia? (Laughter). It's comical."
Dr. Malmgren:
"I was commissioned to write a 90
page study. That gets into this issue of how modern wars are
conducted.
It isn't with boots on the ground
and tanks any more. Increasingly these things (wars) are fought
in cyberspace and we've seen that happen recently with North
Korea. Cyberwarfare and space is really where the action is…
"The United States, Russia, and China are all vying for
dominance over high-altitude satellites, which dominate all the
guidance and communications systems for the conduct of warfare.
And increasingly (we are seeing) stealthy methods of conducting
conflict.
For example, the Russians have been very active recently in
showing their dominance in the Baltic Sea, which dictates who
dominants Scandinavia and the Baltic countries. And in doing
that, it's not that they have so many ships or better quality
ships, it's how effectively they've been able to show they can
take territory if they want to.
The Danes released a report showing that during the largest
naval exercise held last summer by the Russians, since the
Soviet period, in part what they were doing was practicing
taking and seizing an island in the Baltic which currently
belongs to Denmark.
And it was so interesting they
(Russia) picked the very week that the Danes held the equivalent
of Davos - the meeting where every single political leader in
that nation happens to be on that island at that time.
The question is: If the Russians were to take a Danish island,
would President Obama respond? And I think the Russian view is,
'No.' That's an interesting question because then it doesn't
even matter how many (men, tanks, and planes) you have.
The question is: Would you be
willing to deploy all of your capabilities, including in
cyberspace and real space? And the answer there is less obvious.
So think about the conduct of conflict because it may not look
the same as it did in the past. War is a subject where
innovation matters."
Eric King:
"So this next war is to be fought in
space and over
the Internet?"
Dr. Malmgren:
"Conflict is already occurring in
that arena. And it's interesting how the public either doesn't
know about it or doesn't want to know about it.
I was recently at a meeting with a
lot of very senior people from the defense community, and their
view is that we are already in a nose-to-nose confrontation
(war) with China and Russia.
But these (wars) are being
conducted through cyberspace rather than through traditional
conventional weapons.
Although having said that, we've had so many near misses between
Russian fighter jets and NATO or American fighter jets.
There have been a huge number of air
incursions by the Russians into western European airspace and
Japanese airspace. And the same with the Chinese - we've had a
number of near misses.
In fact, when President Obama did his recent trip to Asia he
signed a deal with President Xi of China where they basically
agreed to set up a hotline between Beijing and Washington that's
exclusively devoted to a 'Near-miss' between any U.S. or Asian
allied aircraft or ships that might occur with Chinese aircraft
or ships.
Now, you wouldn't be doing that unless you were expecting more
of these things to occur.
Meanwhile, there is no such hotline
anymore between Washington and Moscow."
Former White House Official
War Will Now Expand
...to
More Countries Bordering Russia

Today a former White House official told King World News to expect
armed conflict to spread to additional countries bordering Russia.
Former presidential adviser and member of the U.S.
President's Working Group on Financial Markets, Dr. Philippa
Malmgren, also discussed why the war will expand and how Germany
and other countries are positioning themselves ahead of even greater
armed conflict.
Eric King:
"What about the fact that the Hungarian leader
came out and essentially said, 'I'm not looking to the West -
the West is entirely bankrupt.
I'm looking to the East for the future of my
country in terms of trade, finance, and commerce."
Dr. Philippa Malmgren:
"Well, that's a very big topic because it's not
just about Hungary - it's about every nation that is on the
border of Russia. Each country is effectively signaling whose
side its on….
"For example, the leader of Belarus has signaled that he wants
to get closer to NATO, i.e. the West, and he's slowing down the
process of an alignment with Russia that had been in motion.
Hungary is saying, 'Well, we're choosing to go with the Russians
rather than against them.'
Germany, frankly, has signaled more and more that
it's economic future lies more with the East, including Russia,
and less with the West. And that's partly because the West, what
does that represent? It (the West) is Italy, France, Spain, all
economies that are dead in the water.
There is no economic activity going on there.
Which Side Will Germany Choose?
And Russia may be having a lot of noise in its economy right
now, but generally speaking the East has proved a place that can
generate profits for Germany more effectively than western
Europe.
So Germany doesn't say, 'We're out of NATO,' or
'We're going to leave the West,' but they increasingly welcome
the East.
Armed Conflict To Spread
So we should watch every single country that's on the border of
Russia and listen carefully to which side they are choosing.
And we're going to get a fight in every location
about the choice that's made because nobody is just going to
accept which countries want to go East and which countries want
to go West."
