[The Soviets had no fear of us in conventional land warfare. Yes, I am amazed how one can be so obtuse in understanding recent history. ]

>>>>>Projecting to cover your own shortcomings just doesn’t work. If the Soviets had no fear of us in conventional land warfare, why did they build all those tanks?

To conquer Western Europe and keep Eastern Europe under its rule.

They didn't build them because they were afraid of our conventional military which couldn't match theirs.

That is why if the Soviets did invade we would have had to use tactical nuclear weapons.

Now, go learn some history and stop bothering me with your silly posts.

FTD: If the soviets TRIED to invade, the soviets would have been a bad memory a lot sooner. I don't remember the soviet military being a particularly effective force in WWII nor in any engagement thereafter. The soviets made progress by folding sissified US politicians (Truman and Ike particularly) like cheap suits or like paleoPaulies or like paleosurrendermonkeys generally.

Patton was right at the end of WWII. It should have continued by turning on the soviets when we had the blooded military available in Europe and MacArthur available with his forces in Asia to finish them off. Incidentally, the cold war and its expenditures would then not have been necessary. And we would probably had an easier time eliminating soviet stooge Mossagh Dagh (or however it is spelled) from controlling Iran since there would have been no soviets to prop him up.
