“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?
Read posts 121 and 141, Russia is no match for the United States military and NATO.
I can’t believe that you guys think that we have ceased to be the world’s most powerful military.
24 hours notice? Is that all the time they’ve got?
