Why "Potential"?

NATO in general and the US in particular established itself as an aggressor and is known to not shy away from atrocity when it suites it. 

Does General Randy Manner want to tell us that Kellogs, Keanes and likes, who are plenty to go around, are exceptions? Boy, he should wait for Ukraine War Crimes Tribunal going public once SMO is over. I can remind the general about this guy: 

Iraqi detainees in Gen H.R. McMaster's custody were treated in an inhuman fashion bordering on torture in 2005, according to a U.S. Military Police officer.

Exception? Again? When was the last time USMC fought in defense of Motherland, yes American Motherland?

It is an expeditionary force designed to put aboriginals in far away places under the US control. So, now that the danger of real physical annihilation on service of Israel gets real for any force which ventures in Iran's vicinity we get more admissions. Iran is a real deal, and it just declared mobilization of one million men for the armed forces. 

Meanwhile, here is the demonstration what the US doesn't have in principle--effective AD. Here is Buk M3 shoots down yet another HIMARS rocket. Expenditure--1 AD missile. 

And yes, the US is still providing recon and targeting to 404 terrorists, while hiding behind their backs. Russia is now doing her own "hiding".
