T here is an intersection of geopolitical interests. I n order to defend its positions and deter terrorist pressure, Russia needs to expand its power in the region. T he Russia’s military presence in this part of the continent makes it possible to slide off the danger from its borders. ISIS threat is quite real. &.
quot;Islamic State" builds an extensive terrorist network, with new extremist groups in areas of unstable Muslim countries. A number of Muslim countries, including Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan is under the threat. In the nearest future the armed Islamist structures which oppose official governments can appear in these republics. T his organization could be the boosterof Islamists activity or detonator of color revolutions. I t is reasonable that a Russian military base is located in this unstable region.
I t organizescontainment of armed Islamist groups. A t the same time Russia needs to participate in various operations against ISIS as gently as possible. W estern countries can easily be drawn into a war, and take the sideline. T he entire burden of combating this developing organization will be our country’s responsibility. Russia against China war is inevitable.
M ilitary experts do not ignore the reality of the threat from China. T oday China is announced an ally, but there are many geopolitical issues that may become a cause for conflict. B.
illion people and rapidly sprawling economy will soon be faced with the need to expand living space, obtain land, raw materials and other resources. Perhaps taking advantage of Russia’s economic weakness, the Chinese will try to expand its territory once again. I t is no secret that China increases its military budget every year; it approaches $ 200 billion. T he army and fleet are equipped with Chinese weapons.
I n addition, the Chinese have an overwhelming advantage in manpower. According to experts, the start of a large-scale offensive along the land border and landing in the north of Russia will result in a full and quick victory for China. T he Far East and Eastern Siberia have no power cover from the enemy. C lashes between the two countries will certainly spill over into full-scale war involving nuclear weapons. It is hoped that Russia would not fight anyone in the nearest future. J.
udging by how sluggishly NATO responded to situation in Ukraine, there will be no armed conflict. T he only motive for war emergency can be a full collapse of the country. T he threat of war is discussed. T his doesn’t concern the real state of affairs, but the promotion. But the growth of tension cannot be ruled out.
T he Afghan problem could soon become a reality. T he penetration of radical extremists in Central Asia, and to the border with Russia is possible. T he process will take several years, but this threat will inevitably be realized. C hina, despite the declaration of friendship, is a serious potential threat to Russia. Having analyzed expert’s opinions concerning the main threats of nuclear war, we can make a conclusion that they first of all come from NATO countries today.
ISIS threat is quite real as well with an extensive terrorist network, and new extremist groups in areas of unstable Muslim countries. In addition, military experts do not ignore the reality of the threat from China. ReferencesCulbertson A. European NUCLEAR WAR IMMINENT as Russia relations break down, Express,.
