Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The US is not ready for a peer to peer fight in Europe

Does anyone think the Russkies would line up 190,000 troops plus tanks, artillery and APC out in the open and vulnerable to superior air power (the only advantage we have) if they thought there was a chance the U.S. would get involved?

Didn't Obama get rid of all the fightin generals ? Seems like they're mostly concerned about trannys and social justice these days.

Why does it serve any American interest???

Put’s doesn’t wants to risk losing any of Military Machine it all Bluster..
His ability to replace is limited..
His economy is the size of Italy..
He’s just having Fun with the Pussies and Mocking the US for it’s Stupidity..

Not that Global Warming Ship Again..

Obviously, he doesn't. For one thing, there's no such thing as "one nuke". You use one and there's mushroom clouds everywhere. I know some here think their hunting cabin back in the "holler" will be safe, but it won't.

The TITLE of the essay is completely accurate, even if I have some serious quibbles with his content and omissions.

(Just one teeny-tiny point: Supposedly 190K Russkie bodies and thousands of armored vehicles on the border. Where are the USA's heavy armored units of equivalent size? Assuming ideal conditions, how long until the USA's heavies in a position to have an impact on the outcome?)

Our globohomo ruling class keeps casting about for our Syracuse*. Thus far, none of the potential candidates have taken the bait. Eventually, someone with some grit and capability will take up globohomo's challenge.

This discussion is all so subjective and problematic - the selected premises and suppositions to support these various scenarios do not paint the complete picture. By necessity, there's a great deal about friendly and opfor capabilities that remain classified - thank God.
