No doubt full of feminists, transgenders, and metrosexual males who were raised to be suspicious of guns. A Russian battalion would roll right over them.

Don’t forget the TRIAD that brought down the USSR. Reagan, Thatcher, The Polish Pope.

I’d disagree if I thought you were wrong.
I’m sure the Russians and the Chinese don’t worry about “inclusiveness” or “quotas”. They building killing machines and armies.
While the West goes all Obama-style.

That being said, thank God for President Trump and General Mattis. At least this part of the West is trying to recover from the Obamanation.
Keep it going in the mid-terms, patriotic Americans!

I read not long ago that the Luftwaffe (yes, they still call it that), the pioneers of close in air support, had around a dozen operational ground attack aircraft. The Bundeswehr, whose predecessor pioneered armored warfare, had fewer than 100 working tanks. And the Deutsche Marine, whose predecessor pioneered submarine warfare, had no working U-boats.

Cool!! Just pay us the billions you owe in Nato payments in arrears, and we will move our bases and troops to Poland, who wants us there, and it is current in its payments.

Because back then some of their rapid-response armored units mounted broomsticks in place of machine guns." Photo said to show broomstick serving as stand-in for machine gun barrel:

That’s General Sergei Shoygu. He’s half Russian, half Mongol, and looks even meaner on his Wiki page. He’s conducted major combat operations in the Syrian civil war.
Unlike all those cute female defense ministers in Europe.

Please let it be so! Why should we defend Europe when it is determined to commit suicide by a combo of not having children and admitting Muslims? Russia is not their problem.

While they’re here, maybe the NRA can teach them how to shoot.

[ This could be a bluff to get Trump to stop criticizing NATO. If so, it’s not going to work. ]
LOL, if so, I hope the President calls their bluff. I’ve got popcorn ready to go (new box opened last night!).

I’ve also read that the British army has more generals than tanks.
But I suppose that could be considered a plus. Because should another war break out, every British tank could be commanded not be a sergeant or a lieutenant, but by an experienced general.

They have to get military forces in place for the Molotov-Ribbentrop Agreement V2 so that Poland can be partitioned again.

The only force to possibly have their asses handed to them quicker than the Iraqis.
