I was not impressed with the Russian troops I saw in Georgia. I think the story would be different if they tried to take on a European force instead of the Chechens and Georgians.

Didn’t he get Obammy’s memo?

It’s not the West’s ability that is in doubt. It is the West’s will that is in doubt, and that Russia is challenging.

‘I’d prefer if Russia worked together and integrated itself with the wider-known West, but if it comes to confrontation, then it will lose again.’
I’d prefer if we had more politicians in this country who would step away from the PC pulpit and tell the new USSR how it is, the way Sikorski does here.

I am sure the French and Germans are right now saying
“WHAT’S THIS ‘WE’ STUFF, SIKORSKI?”
I don’t know what the President of Poland knows, but I still wouldn’t count on the Western Europeans standing together with Poland on anything.

Is he any relation to this Sikorski? He knew how to kick some Russian a$$.

Yes, we know this. However, politics dictates we play nice before blowing up the bombs already planted throughout the USSR. No missiles required. BRING IT.

Antiquated ships and weaponry, not the healthiest looking soldiers, top-heavy bureaucractic military management, etc. Russia would indeed lose provided the western nations (and the natives of Georgia, Ukraine, etc.) did not go in half-assedly with a "police action."
Russians tend to speak loudly and carry a limp d--k. For much of their history, they truly have been a weak nation masquerading as a world power.
