[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Navy Adm. Charles A. Richard, commander of Stratcom, addressed a gathering of top military officials in Arlington, Va., on Wednesday

- 'This Ukraine crisis that we're in right now, this is just the warmup,' he said. 'The big one is coming'
- Richard added: 'It isn't going to be very long before we're going to get tested in ways that we haven't been tested a long time'
