Here is the situation in 2014
If Putin goes too far and engages NATO with is low end, 766,000 man military, it would be the end of his military, I wouldn’t want to have Russia’s geography and internal conflicts, and China’s looking at me, with a broken and depleted military and a shattered economy all that was left to keep out all of the fires.
That might even result in Russia seeking NATO help.
Here is the situation in 2014
“Even with a President that has “no clue”, we are still a terrifying force. Air superiority, drones, precision guided missiles. Top logistics, electronic data control, etc. The Russians can take out a passenger jet, but their SAMs would have a tough time against our couter-measures. After his supply lines are taken out, it would be very difficult to resupply his forces...”
This isn’t Iraq. It a wide, vast country with weaponry literally lying around everywhere.
And “technological superiority” requires a vast amount of logistics support. How long did we have to wait after 9/11 to attack Iraq, because Clinton had depleted the supply of cruise missiles?
When you kibbutz, you have to remember that this is Today’s Russia, and not yesterday’s USSR.
You also have to consider this is no longer Reagan’s America, but Obama’s Socilaist/Gay Amerika now. If NATO’s Euro countries had to field a force TODAY, on 24 hours notice, they’d be lucky to put a heavy brigade out between all of them but Turkey, in total, let alone support it for more than a few days.
Remember how the Italian Air Force ran out of modern bombs and serviceable aircraft, after just 30-some sorties over Libya?
