The United States risks going bankrupt as it tries to build up its nuclear forces, which are far behind Russia’s. Scott Ritter, former intelligence officer of the United States Armed Forces and former UN weapons inspector, said this in an interview on the YouTube channel. Judging Freedom.
“America looks at the resurgent Russian strategic nuclear forces and we understand: everything they have is superior to what we have. “We will bankrupt ourselves,” said the expert.
As the analyst noted, the United States will have to spend several hundred billion dollars to replace its outdated Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles. In addition, Ritter believes that new weapons for the United States’ nuclear triad would not only be too expensive, but also would not meet the requirements of the armed forces.
He added that Russia has created a dynamic defense industry that is larger than all NATO countries combined.
