Here is a table showing relative strength now and then. Just counting numbers.

Great charts. And the other thing that many fearmongers may not realize is that Putin’s army today is best at fighting weak countries close to Russia. He could win a tactical battle but not a long war. He’s stupid, but he’s not that stupid. Rename the country Putinstan, enrich himself and his cronies, and forget the dreams of empire.

You arm chair generals forget what they did to that little corporal from Austria. Numbers of this and that and the other thing mean nothing in the real sense. They are tough people and will be disrespected at our own peril. I do not feel any pride at our own illegal government.

Who can really fight in Europe? Perhaps only the British? French Foreign Legion is decent but you can't say the same with the French Military.

Russia is actually in better position right now, especially since Obama is our leader and he wouldn't lift a finger to assist Europe.
