Yes, NATO is stronger than Russia.
Don’t confuse Russia alone being ranked second, as being stronger than a military alliance of the enemies that they would be facing if they tried to invade NATO, including half of the nations that flesh out the top 10 military powers.
Also don’t ignore that Russia has other threats both internal and external to face, and they would not like to see us wipe out their military.
What is bizarre is that you are raving, but at what? Why do you refuse to say if you are angry because you want a tougher response against Russia, or one even weaker than Obama’s?
“Consider the situation today. East Germany no longer exists, while Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and every one of Russia’s other erstwhile Warsaw Pact partners are now members of NATO. So are Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which in 1989 were parts of the Soviet Union itself. In 1989, the Red Army had almost a half-million troops and 27 maneuver divisions (plus enormous quantities of artillery and other units) on the territory of its three main allies. Today, it has a total of seven divisions in its entire Western Military District, all of which are based on its own territory. Indeed, the entire Russian army today boasts about 25 divisions, fewer than it had forward deployed in its Eastern European allies during the waning days of the Cold War.
Today, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Germany alone field more divisions than Russia has in its Western Military District. These countries are backstopped by the rest of NATO, including, of course, the United States.”
“Yes, NATO is stronger than Russia.”
That’s nice, but it’s completely immaterial with Obama leading the U.S., since he won’t do anything serious to oppose Putin’s ambitions. How many times do I have to say that? It seems you just ignore it, no matter how many times I say it, then ramble on as if it is a mystery what my point is.
Let me spell it out for you in small words:
Obama is a communist. Communists love Russia. Communists don’t oppose Russia. Obama won’t oppose Russia.
Got it?
