And what I said.

Im not saying theyd be a push over but they were not what they said they were or what we thought they were. Its 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.
Do you see why you stalking trolls are discouraged from dragging one thread into another?

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.
You could feel and see the tension of the soldiers at the Fulda Gap, and Many experts believed that Russia could take Western Europe in weeks.
Now as you support Russias military invasion today, you want to try and convince the naive that they were never really the threat that generations of Americans, and world leaders and Presidents said they were.
Another leftist talking point to go with your phony chickenhawk dig at Reagan conservatives, that the left tries to create.
