So you really are a troll, and now you want to drag one thread into another?
While lying to do it?
Is this the post that you are lying about?

This is the same Russia, they just don’t have the power yet that they did, but they are obviously trying to regain that power and strategic positioning.
I oppose that return to the 1980s, you don’t.
You seem pretty passionate in your opposition to helping Ukraine in any way.

This is the post where you talk about how powerful they were.
ansel12 to DirtyPigpen Some of us were predicting in 1979 that 1984 was roughly the year or period that Russia needed to move, or else they would lose that window.
That period of 1983 1985 was a very tense time to be a part of those NATO forces, the tension was incredible, and Russia was incredibly powerful at the time, with almost 6 sand a half million men, 7 Airborne Divisions, and masses of Air Assault units and Bridge building and Armor units, a vast military force built entirely on attack, attack, attack.
And what I said.

I’m not saying they’d be a push over but they were not what they said they were or what we thought they were. It’s the truth, like it or not. For the most part they were ill trained, ill equipped and not disciplined. They did have some crack troops but they were few and far between.
