Legendary US Army Commander Says Russia Would "Annihilate" US In Head-To-Head Battle
Zero Hedge ^ | 7 Nov 2015 | Tyler

Late in September, we brought you "US Readies Battle Plans For Baltic War With Russia" in which we described a series of thought experiments undertaken by The Pentagon in an effort to determine what the likely outcome would be should something go horribly "wrong" on the way to landing the US in a shooting war with Russia in the Balkans.

The results of those thought experiments were not encouraging.

Hell, I wonder if the USSR was ever what we thought the USSR was.

LOL! You're not serious, right? Go look at the OB for the WGF alone and then come on back and say that.

Not having looked this up again, but there is a super-volcano in the Siberian region every bit as dangerous as Yellowstone - what is good for the goose is good for the gander - be careful what you aim at, the other guy is aiming at you.

To get his opinion on policies that can be reversed and their current impact on readiness, that’s why.

And he is Valerie’s puppet - she is Jezebel, he is Ahab. I believe he does nothing without her approval and she is the origin of many of his decisions.......

They had a lot of crap, but how functional was it? How reliable was it? How well trained were their troops? Their pilots? I saw a show about some of their naval ships and they were freezing death traps. We learned after the Cold War that a good portion of their ICBMs were either nonexistent or rusting garbage.

Big != useful

When one country spends more than the next dozen countries COMBINED it shouldn’t even be up for discussion who would win. But our bloated budget is all about corporate welfare. Expensive contracts for well connected companies who make sure the congressmen of their districts keep the pork flowing. I feel like we should at least be able to keep our country safe, but given the insanity of the liberal pansies who rule our lives and ruin our nation, what could one expect.
