What was brought up was Russia invading Estonia.
Russia is not what we thought it was a year ago, the thinking that it is still the Soviet Empire of WWII sacrificing its conquered peoples by the millions in attack against German hardware of the first half of the 20th century isn’t what exists today.
Ukraine has exposed the Russian military and the entire government and intelligence services, and NATO and the U.S. would carve up and isolate its Army and air assets quickly, Russia would be unable to move men and materials.
We know that Russia cannot start taking NATO countries.
No we just go to Nuclear War
You seem to think that the whole weight of what russia can bring to bear is on campaign in Ukraine. I assure you it is not. Again, I have always believed we could take them, but the price would be high. What we are seeing in Ukraine is not total war. If the US and the russians were going toe to toe it would be total war and the result would be a bloody mess imho.
“We have only to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down.”
We should not make the same mistakes some have made in the past, and we should never underestimate any enemy. Perhaps we will see who is right, but I hope and pray we do not.
