I will bet you 10 to 1 that the Russians can dispatch of the Islamohomos in 1 year assuming NATO stays out

Not that I have any special knowledge but one year seems a very generous over/under, at least if these Russians are anything like their grandfathers...

Three months and raise your bet. If it goes “nucular”, what, three hours?

The Russians don't have a great track record. They didn't perform well in Afghanistan. Except for its nuclear arsenal, Russia is not exactly a military juggernaut.

Russia has negative population growth with a fertility rate of 1.61, far below a replacement rate of 2.1. Males have a life expectancy of 64.7 years at birth. Alcoholism is rampant. Their life expectancy rate of 70.47 is 153rd in the world, lower than Bangladesh.

The Russian per capita income of $24,400 is 75th in the world. Turkey is 85th.

Russia is a gas station posing as a country. Russia is a major exporter of crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas. Sales of these fuels accounted for 68% of Russia's total exports.
