Reminds me of the Berlin crisis on 1961 where we faced off against 10 Soviet tanks at the Berlin dividing line for 24 hours.

Problem is Putin can bring up 500 tanks in short order causing Obama to wet his pants.

Putin can instantly put 500 tanks on the Polish border and Poland and NATO and the American Army and Air Force quake in their boots?

No, that isn’t reality.

Actually, the Russian armored units are scattered across the country and it would take a massive effort to mobilize and move those forces into position, which would clearly be seen by our satellites. Also, most of the Russian superiority in numbers has been mitigated by the fact that they've moved thousands of armored vehicles into storage facilities. In fact, I read a recent article that said for the first time since the 50s, there's actually more NATO tanks than there are Russian!
