American Analyst: Europe Lacks Sufficient Power to Confront Russia

According to the english section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency,‌ Scott Ritter, a military analyst and⁢ former US navy intelligence officer, told RIA Novosti that Europe does not‍ pose a⁤ important threat to Russia.

He added that Europe is unable to implement the statements ⁤of its political leaders. ‍No European country possesses ample military power or the ⁤capability to face Russia effectively.

The analyst believes European countries have limited operational capacity and focus⁣ more on political and military posturing than actual combat actions.

European nations are attempting to address their military shortcomings within the framework of NATO by increasing defense ⁤budgets among member states.

The United ⁣States has announced plans to withdraw part of its forces from Europe, a move that compounds the continent’s challenges in ‌defending⁢ itself against external threats.
