Quotes. Herbert McMaster served as an expert at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.

“Now we have realized the threat from Russia, which until recently waged limited wars with a clearly defined goal: annexed Crimea, invaded Ukraine (and all this with zero losses for itself), consolidated the acquired territories, and at the same time, our reaction to this is given as aggressive," McMaster said.

The approach to the military deterrence of the aggressor, according to McMaster, should be based on the idea of ​​"causing him significant damage" not only at the stage of the counterattack, but during the defense of the lines of defense, so that the enemy "realizes that he will not be able to achieve the goal with acceptable losses for him."

"That's right, and not through a conditional balance of power and the threat of a retaliatory strike after an act of aggression. Recent experience has shown us that the latter approach is inadequate," he said.

Awards. Legionnaire of the Order "Legion of Honor", Purple Heart medal.
