You don't think the combined forces of NATO, assuming we can keep Obama out of the way, could put "the Hurt" on Russia?

I guarantee our tanks would not get stuck in Mud!

But I thought Russia had nothing to do with it, that it was a spontaneous uprising of Russian-speaking separatists?

</sarcasm>

Why, do you think history has written that Moscow can’t be taken, ever?

If Ukraine was smart, it would issue rifles to every citizen, and begin training all of them how to use them. Russia could invade, and occupy, but they would know that they would be picked off in appalling numbers as time went on. It’s a strategy that has worked well for the Swiss, and also causes America’s foes to fear the price of invasion.

Oh yeah? Well don't even think of trying anything like that, buddy boy, because if you do, Obama will express deep concern!

It can be taken. The last time was by the French in 1812 when most of it was burnt to the ground. Previously Poles and Mongols have conquered it.

NATO would have to take Moscow before October 1st. The Russian winter counts for at least 30 divisions.

I wasn’t aware that NATO still relies on horse-drawn carriages.

Exactly.
Russian can take all it wants. But even now I don’t think they can hold it. Weak troop morale and no money to support the victory.
